Don't say "branding" and "copyright" in the same sentence. Branding is about trademarks. Trademarks are okay in the open source world. Copyright, mmmmmm, not so much.
IE6 WILL die if enough web developers go on strike and simply stop supporting it. The people running IE6 can make their problem go away one of two ways: pressure each and every website which says "IE6? Go away." Or they can do one thing: upgrade their web browser or install FF. One thing with instant guaranteed success, or many things with likely failure?
Holy fuck, you know NOTHING about homeschooling, do you? First, THERE IS NO DIVERSITY in the government school system. You entire day is spent interacting with kids your own age plus or minus a few months. Second, social interaction in school is called "talking in class" and it's greatly discouraged. Third, government schools are SO BADLY RUN that amateurs can get better results than professionals. This rarely happens in other professions. Usually specialization makes you better.
Homeschooled kids aren't trapped in little boxes. They're free to go out into the world, explore, learn, interact with a wide variety of people, actually DO REAL THINGS, rather than mocked-up stuff out of a textbook. Freed of the busy-work that government school students are given, a homeschooled kid has the chance to learn to do something really REALLY well. Go to your local state fair and you'll see homeschooled kids disproportionally represented among the top winners of, well, whatever.
Actually, the problem is that the data he needs to make a topographic map is only readily accessible for the area covered by MassGIS. That is, Massachusetts.
Asus is screwing up here. They seem not to realize that the eee PC is a success only because of the attention it got because it ran Linux. By getting into bed with Microsoft, they're just creating an opening for another hungry Taiwanese to make a Linux netbook.
Anybody here speak Chinese? And/or live in Taiwan? Help us find that vendor. Get them to give us the specs for their (as yet unbuilt) machine, we'll adapt Ubuntu to it, they don't need to worry about software, we'll have nice hardware with good Linux support.
ARGH! Sometimes pure moronism strikes the Slashdot editors. Socialism is *perfectly fine* when it's voluntary. So is communism. So is cannibalism. So is Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism. The key here is the voluntary nature of the Internet. You can't coerce somebody over a fiber optic connection. As the classic liberals put it: "Anything that's peaceful" should be tolerated.
It bugs the piss out of me that so many people Just Don't Get It: individualism is not about doing things individually. It's about the individual CHOOSING what collective things they want to do. Collectivism, on the other hand, or its college roommate, statism, is all about having an elite choose what things individuals will be forced to do.
So yeah, the ancient conflict between those who want to force others to back their latest scheme, and those who want to live in a peaceful society, remains.
I trust Time-Warner to give me a fair rate more than I trust a NY legislator!
Besides which, what's to stop Time-Warner from having the Fair-Price set to Their-Price? Legislators all have their price, because they can't Do Good Things if they lose their next election.
Sorry, but why the fuck do you think we would ever Ever EvEr eVeR EVER accept this license? Just because some loony-bins follow our process and submit a license doesn't mean it has a snowball's chance in hell of being accepted. YES, as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we have to have rules that apply to all comers, and we're not permitted to arbitrarily pick and choose between who we talk to and who we don't. But equally true is that THIS LICENSE VIOLATES OSD #7, every day: morning, noon or night, sun or rain, new or full moon.
Sheesh. Give us some credit for not being COMPLETELY STUPID FUCKERS.
Mmmmmm, Microsoft's license had succinctness going for it, and a once-sentence change from reciprocal to public. It's basically Mozilla-on-one-page, which is an achievement.
Of course the carriers won't pass the fees on! How could they? The government won't let them. Just like the government doesn't let landlords pass on property taxes, or hotels tourism taxes, or airports landing fees.
No, the carriers will simply absorb the fees and lose money.
And the end of the stimulus will kickstop the US Battery Industry. There are many examples of subsidized industries that died when their subsidy went away -- and industries that remain subsidized because they lobbily heavily to keep their subsidy (cough ag subsidies cough) (cough mortgage deductibility cough).
Subsidies are fucking stupid. The stimulus is fucking stupid. A trillion dollars later, we'll have tons of jobs -- all of which depend on further borrowing, further taxation, further inflation. Or do you think the US government can spend a trillion dollars without distorting the marketplace?
Well, that's a stupid objection. Presumably there is a supply of pods. If one comes along that is objectionally dirty, you press the "this pod is dirty" button, it goes off to the cleaning shop and you get a new one.
It would have been an ordinary recession except that the Fed (remember the fed? This depression is about the fed) deflated the currency and caused a deflationary spiral. So then we end up with 17 years of depression (yes, people got back to work by '41 when we entered the war, but no more consumer goods were available until after the war ended in '46).
(before you tell me that the war ended in '45, my father fought in that war, and he didn't get home until January of '46, and he was sent back early because of battle fatigue).
Sarbox kills productivity. I have a customer who won't let me log in to do work because their auditor claims that if they ACTUALLY LET ME WORK, they'll have no control over, nor knowledge of, what I've done -- and Sarbox requires that they have both. It's an evil law and MUST DIE.

Holy fucking Jesus, Mary Mother of God, are you as stupid as the things you say or do you have to work at it? Do you KNOW what back surgery involves? They CUT OUT THE CARTILEGE AND FUSE YOUR FUCKING SPINE TOGETHER SO THOSE BONES DON'T MOVE ANYMORE.
Having shit for brains would be an improvement oh my god give this poor man a brain transplant obviously his current one is dysfunctional.
So anyway, yeah, he'd have to be in much worse shape than this to be a candidate for back surgery.

Don't confuse a technique (which may work) with the explanation for why it works (which may be bullshit). If I hit you using fa jing, do you care whether I used my chi or whether I used the combined leverage of every muscle in the kinetic chain going down to the ground? Either way it's gonna hurt regardless of the bullshit or the real explanation.
