If you do some background reading (on your iMac, doubtless) one of the goals of this car is to provide an affordable (economically and environmentally) way of getting Indians off of motorbikes and spit-and-construction paper trikes into something that does at least have a crumple zone. Wait - you do live in India, right?
Yes, good point. I mean, in First Life, there's no demand for or supply of loans outside the registered banking system, right? Prohibition 4 life, nigga.
Yes, they absolutely can, and you must provide it or be terminated with extreme prejudice on the spot. Don't bother to read the article, it'll just confuse you with boring old "facts" and "case studies."
I rather think that if Busybox were GPL 3 licensed then it wouldn't have been used at all, and you'd be in an even worse position in your attempt to hack Sony's devices.
All he has to do is publish in a legal notice his intent and a clear means for any copyright holder in opposition to request removal of their work.
That's a super idea! Hey, Sony BMG, I'm going to rip off all your Britney Spears back catalogue unless you tell me not to. Bruce said it would be OK. Yeah, Bruce Perens. What do you have to say to that, Sony?
I'm deliberately conflating them to provoke the debate.;)
While there's 16 bits per channel of data, if only 13 or so of them are actually being used, is there any point in ripping more bits of discrete information than are actually present? For example, at what bit rate can you encode using 'lossy' compression that doesn't actually lose any information in the decoded result?
Yup, pencil and paper must be very close to losing a critical mass in schools. You need a local group to play, and even 20 years ago there were always a few reluctant little brothers dragged in to make up numbers. I just don't see where the next generation of face-to-face gamers is going to come from, and I doubt that there's enough of a nostalgia market for WotC to turn a profit on 4th Edition.
Besides, the idea that Java is damaging to students is pure bullshit anyway. If the students are learning the Java way to do things, and nothing else, then they have horrible professors.
I'm not sure if we're reading different articles, but it seems to me that's exactly the point that the article makes. That students are learning only Java, and the Java way of doing things. But I guess if you can't read C++, you shouldn't be expected to read English.
Out of interest, given that most audio CDs only use 10% of their dynamic range, then why are you ripping at a higher fidelity than the source provides?
No pussyfooting around the question: ugly nerd kids these days would rather get their Warcrack online, where they can grind to risk-free heroism while pretending to be hot girls to get attention. What's the incentive to stare at a bunch of greasy acne ridden faces and listen to squeaky voices arguing over rules for hours on end while the DM acts out his god complex by killing their character investments in a fit of displaced revenge because Chuck McRibsteak stuffed him in a locker again?
Public education *should* include the limitation of science
True, but it has absolutely no relevance to cult beliefs. The solution to limited scientific knowledge is better science, not to give up and invent a god of the gaps.
And then on the PC there's Steam, which is DRM-infected, but offers such a convenient service (and eclectic catalogue) that I actually don't mind paying. DRM-infected services can be attractive; you just need to focus on the service rather than the DRM.
But OLPC say that they need volume, not profits. $200 per unit would get them far more than twice the volume of $400 per unit. I find their claim hard to credit.

I've lost the will to explain why you're wrong. Bask in your glory.
Yes, they absolutely can, and you must provide it or be terminated with extreme prejudice on the spot. Don't bother to read the article, it'll just confuse you with boring old "facts" and "case studies."
So, do you have an answer, or are you just going to speculate wildly?
I rather think that if Busybox were GPL 3 licensed then it wouldn't have been used at all, and you'd be in an even worse position in your attempt to hack Sony's devices.
Well, you've convinced me. Where can I find the source for the GNU/mrchaotica OS?

There are no "theoretical limits of science", only quitters.
Hey, spazmoid, you realise that about half the world still stones witches to death, right? Cults are a threat to science, and vice versa. Pick a side.
Welcome to my friends list.

Do you buy Coke, Pepsi, or a store brand cola?

Correction: 1%. 700 out of 70,000.
Correction: 99%. Please read the article.
Which will just make it even funnier when it falls apart in bitterness and acrimony. Let's talk again in a year and see who's right.

People use real money to buy fake things all the time. Some men choose to buy a Camaro rather than a real penis extension, for example.
