The underlying theory seems to be that vendors should be able to establish price discrimination schemes and that the EULA by forbiding reselling. The opinion is pretty well written even if you disagree with the conclusions. Sorry no link but it is from the Court of Appeals for the 7th district.
Another article outline the same info is featured in todays Wall Street Journal on page B5. Zdnet may not reach decision makers but the WSJ sure does, this is the kind of press Linux needs to keep making in-roads with CEO-CFO types.
It's interesting that the article talks about genetic mutations but does not address any physical or mental abonormalities that may be a result of the genetic changes. I think we'll be learning a lot from the survivors and their decendents.
In comic books when you get struck by lighting you get super powers like super-speed or lighting hands. In reality it just hurts, a lot.
You've hit the nail right on the head. While America leads the western world in gun deaths we also lead it in stranglations, bludgeonings, and knivings. Americans just love to kill each other sad, but true.
I'm really bothered by this notion that when people put their kids in daycares during the day, they are being greedy and selfish. This is nonsense! People have to go to work to feed their kids.
I wish this were true because it would make it easier to excuse the the neglect that passes for parenting these days. But if you took a hard look at the kids in daycares around the country I bet you would find that most of their parents could get by on one income.
Unfortunately this would take sacrifices that most Americans seem unwilling to make. Instead of a 3000 sq. ft. house you get a 2000, instead of two new cars you have 1 used one, and god forbid you sacrifice DSL for dial-up.
UltraBot2k1 is half right the problem really is parents who are disconnected from their children's lives. As the father of two I am always suprised by the disinterest my children's classmates parents show toward them. Too often in our society children are looked upon as accessories for the couple that has everything. They ferry them to daycare, school or soccor practice, they show up award ceremonies but are unwilling to make the sacrifices necessary for raising a healthy child. In a society a affluent as the US there should be no reason that so many households have both parents working outside the home. But in the end parents today are more concerned with having a new car or a bigger house than there childrens well being.
Morals are necessary but not exclusivly Christian morals. My kids are raised in an enviroment were they are exposed to ideas from Christianity, Judaism, Buddhaism, Taoism, and Islam and they are the best behaved most moral kids I know. (Sorry Hindus I don't feel I have the depth of knowledge to educate them on your religion)
Taking a quick look around my office I think if God is a programmer he should quickly read one of the many/. articles on creating software that doesn't suck.
