It's a filthy underhand conspiracy by content providers to target the browsers that the majority of their customers actually use. What they should do is to put themselves out of business by only serving standards conformant content that looks like crap on IE. See, if they all do it at once...
What was Written can be Unwritten. Watch for a rider being slipped through on the Protecting Freedom, Goodness and Innocent Children Act 2010. Congress has gotten better at this since the last time they got caught boning creatives over Work For Hire.
Don't they do code reviews at Microsoft? Loops 101: prove that the loop terminates under all conditions, even and especially when passed garbage.
Seriously, that's the difference between a hacker and a software engineer right there. If you don't take the time to fix it early, you'll just have to fix it later.
I'll sell you one that looks exactly the same - heck, it may even have their name on it - but my discs? They'll last for, oh, let's say 5,000 years. Did I say 5,000? I meant 10,000. And they only cost 20% more! Checks made out to "CASH", please.
It's now easier to click-and-leech digital copies than it is to fiddle around with cables to make your own crappy analog copy. Hell, you can download a digital copy while you're watching the DVD/cable movie that they ostensibly think you're planning to analog rip.
I can't think why they'd even care about the analog hole any more, other than that it's a pure power ploy. They push for something crazy like this, then reluctantly accept a "compromise" position like adding another hojillion dollars to the statutory damages for copyright infringement.
Or, and this may be a real possibility, they are simply batshit cuckoo-bananas insane and just can't stop fighting a battle that they lost a decade ago.
will people who downloaded the first version be legally able to demand the source code
Depends on the jurisdiction. Third world communist hellholes like Germany and France have whack copyright laws, but in the USA, only the copyright holder has a legal stick to wield. All recipients can do is to rat out the distributor to the rights holder. All together now: the GPL is explicitly a license from the rights holder, not a contract between them and the distributor, or between the distributor and the recipient.
The amount of fissile material is finite, there's just not that much available, and much of that is in Outer Elbonia. Sure, we'll build more fission plants, but the base load replacement for oil is going to be coal. The hippies had better get used to the idea.
But at times, recycled Soviet bomb cores have made up the majority of the American market for low-enriched uranium fuel. Today, former bomb material from Russia accounts for 45 percent of the fuel in American nuclear reactors
I guess it's easier to get past the Slashduh "editors" if you inject a suitable dose of hyperbole. It's not like they're going to check, is it?
Due to all of your decisions being brilliant. As you can see from thesereallyquicklydisplayedpiecharts, Nobody in the history of $WHATEVER_WE_DO does $WHATEVER_WE_DO as well as we do $WHATEVER_WE_DO, thanks to your amazing leadership. I recommend that we keep on doing what we're doing, only with 5% more budget for my department.
That's the smart answer. Or you could tell them the truth, but please be aware that all companies shoot the messenger. All of them.
All they have to do to get back on the high horse is come up with a slightly worse pricing plan than Verizon's but with even more deceptive advertising
Fixed that for you. Nobody but me and thee reads the small print, and I'm not so sure about thee.
Bingo. Cardio is bullshit. The calories you burn during it are insignificant. SO double the resistance, half the reps, and build some muscle, you scrawny^W chubby wimps.

And given that, it's astonishing that Microsoft can still only bamboozle 10% of "Darren Defaults" users into eating their dogfood.
Then you work for an employer who has trouble recruiting. Congratulations.

Mmm. You might want to read your contract some time. You may be in for a nasty surprise.
Assrape isn't fine once you've gotten used to it.

We will use it, but coal is sooooo much cheaper. M'kay?

A curious game... the only winning move is not to play.
I mean, while you sneak ships, trains and trucks full of nukes into your opponents' major cities.

Doesn't work though, does it? Muscle mass keeps your metabolism fast, not recovery from exertion.

Then just pull a couple of clones out of cold storage and film them from different angles. Do I have to think of everything?
Bingo. Cardio is bullshit. The calories you burn during it are insignificant. SO double the resistance, half the reps, and build some muscle, you scrawny^W chubby wimps.
Oh, don't worry, they're burning fossil fuels to keep their fossil plants hot, just in case.
Funny how that's never mentioned in these articles, isn't it?
Only if you can stop burning fossil fuels to generate, or be able to generate, a Joule elsewhere. That's happening in Spain, right?
Oh, did we not notice that information was missing from this article?
Don't worry: it's missing from every other article on renewable generation as well.
Overwhelming market domination, with the sore losers claiming a "technical" victory?
Bingo. Next will be the schools, because, you know, blah de blah THE CHILDREN!
