Kinda. C# and.NET and the standard library are a ECMA and IEEE standard. (Microsoft pushed them in as standards), I'm not entirely sure if they did that royalty free (I have a feeling they did), but even if they didn't, ECMA/IEEE requires RAND licensing at worst.
A lot of the top selling iOS/Android games are done with Unity; which also uses C#/Mono. Actually the PS Suite SDK looks very similar to Unity in a lot of respects.
(Actually to take it a full loop; Unity pushes to the PS anyway, Rochard and a few others have gone cross-console with Unity)
That's because the whole thing is rather short and vague - and in general pretty poorly written; and a lot has had to be interpreted around it. (e.g. freedom of speech is inferred from the "vibe" of the document rather than the document itself.)
- Conversion from cash to bank account balances often carries a small 'change processing fee' with commercial banks. It's not big; but if you are depositing lots of tiny small change, many banks will charge you for the service. (esp. the other way around - getting cash out as coins, for giving change, etc.) - Loss/theft - it's a lot easier for cash to go missing than it is for electronic payments. (plus costs for security for cash stored on premises) - Going to the bank and depositing it regularly is going to cost anyway (salary for time spent, fuel, etc.)
I'd say the above equally match or exceed the 1-2.5% most merchant banks will charge for CC processing services. NFC pricing is generally the same amount. The fees charged by merchant banks for CC facilities are actually completely reasonable - there's some other aspects which hurt a bit more (90 clearance windows, chargebacks/fraud, etc); but the fees are perfectly fine.
Courtesy of the modern banking industry however - sunks costs are often amortized into the production cost. So sunk costs become part of your production costs.
OVH also has a support option which is "Hey, you made a urgent ticket. Isn't that nice? We might look at it in two weeks."
OVH's support is literally 9-5 French time, Monday to Friday. There is ZERO out of hours support; and they have such a backlog that tickets dont even get looked into for a few business days.
Open any Office 2007/2010 document in LibreOffice?
We run a mixed shop with some employees using OO/LO and others using actual Office. The docs prepared in Office get suitably and consistently mangled in OO; to the point of unusability (e.g. bulleted lists dissapearing, tables vanishing, etc.).
I don't know. I don't think Zynga would actually take it to a suit. They'd try a C&D first, but I can't see them encouraging any precedents being set that'd work against them later.
I could see this being useful as an accelerator - in the same way that GPUs can accellerate vector operations. E.g. memory that can calculate a hash table index by itself. Stuffed in as a component of a larger system it could be a really clever breakthrough for incremental performance improvements.
Keep in mind charting any commodity versus the US dollar - the US dollar has depreciated in value fairly substantially since 2008. So that big spike isn't a rise in Copper (although it may be a contributing factor), it's the lowering of the US dollar.

Amazon AWS bills you bandwidth directly. A DDoS could get very expensive.

OH THE HUGE MANATEE!
Same here, Shanghai.
Actually it does. Here's how:

No, but they pay taxes on their income which supports the share price.

Yeah now - but look at the original time and budget estimates.
"And of course, it needs to be free. Because our budget for this plan is of zero euros."
Yep.
Can't see this blowing up in anyones face. (See: the ongoing ordeal and budget overruns of the Munich conversion)
Does it have to be a either-or suggestion?

That's because Mobile Internet is half-decent in most places in Japan. You don't bother with public WiFi.
This is also called 'conflict of interest' and is generally illegal and frowned upon when you are inevitably caught.
I think you already did it.
Doesn't KDE run on Windows these days? You could probably just run KMail directly...
So.... no different than before Microsoft bought it then.
Awwww man, I really really wanted to play that.
*whooosh*
Here you go, start from 0 (freezing) and go up by 5' and you have the same ranges:
Sub-zero: Freezing
0-5 Very cold
5-10 Cold
10-15 Very cool
15-20 Cool
20-25 Comfortable
25-30 Warm
30-35 Very warm
35+ Hot
