It's just a personal opinion on my part, but the government should not be involved in profitable private sector activities unless the changes the government makes can cause the private sector activities to be more benneficial or more profitable.
E.g. if the government provided/managed the municipal wireless network, but users needed to use tunnelling software through an ISP to access the Internet through it. The wireless network would be funded through payments ot the city by the Internet service providers.
This would cut down on dozens of providers interfering with one another and degrading one another's service. It would also make it possible to provide access in areas where no one provider could afford to provide the wireless infrastructure, but together, the sum of all the customers could afford to make it sustainable.
Another side effect is that public Libraries and city services could be made available through the wireless network without going through an Internet service provider. So some level of "free" service would still be possible.
You can't apply logic to faith, because logic is a form of faith. Logic will always supercede other faiths if they're analyzed logically, just like logic will always be superceded by religion, if explored religiously.
Whether you fundamentally believe that logic means something or if you fundamentally belive that your existance means something is just as much a leap of faith.
Religion and logic don't necessarily disclude one another, but for those who belive in both, the order of which supercedes which might determine whether they're agnostic or if they're religious.
Yeah, design and program the computer from the other end of text spoken from an RS232 port. Then every kernel panic and boot message would be plainly spoken. No fancy ASCII tricks, positioning or anything.
They wouldn't have had this problem if they innovated and only showed ads which allowed you to click to say "I never want to see this ad or product again"
Then people would want to identify themselves to Doubleclick, and Doubleclick could feed the info back to advertisers.
From what I've been told, the spirit of the law often comes into play too. To state in a legal document that the citizens of China derive pleasure from something would be a senseless thing to include. It's clear that that's not what it means, so the statement wouldn't be ambiguous.
Yeah, of course it is just an example. I agree completely that this ambiguity is just an artifact of the translation.
If you can't get your government's attention through the vote, you're much more likely to get their attention by failing to pay taxes, than by burning your garden.
30 people just isn't big enough to justify a full time on-site admin. You can spend 10% of your time making decisions about the IT infrastructure and managing the relationship with the IT company, and they can take the how-to phonecalls, know which server hardware to buy, what OSes to load, handle backups, power failures, relationships with upstream providers, etc...
It's just as hard to admin a site of 200 people as it is to admin 30.
He should probably state that it was an absurd thing for him to say and demonstrate the methods used to prevent even him from tampering with the votes.
It's more free than free beer. Redhat has no more right to Linux than you or I. It is important for them to keep Fedora moving so as to continue to have the development community behind them.
And while Fedora and the RHEL/RHAS/RHWhatever technically sprang from the older "RedHat" model, last I checked, RHEL/RHAS/RHWhatever derive from Fedora.
Spinning off Fedora is wise on the part of Redhat. Now the window of opportunity for Novell to strike up SuSE marketshare through Redhat alienating the community is closed.
Stopping to think about it, I don't think I've met a woman who uses a computer regularly and can't touch type.
I know plenty of guys who are advanced hunt-and-peck keyboarders. I only made the leap by covering keys with stickers as I learned them. It was very easy and it sped up my typing considerably.
I couldn't get more than 35-40 wpm with hunt and peck, and that was only because I had already memorized most key locations.
No, one of the greatest military failures of the Nazis was that they were unable to capture the resources they needed to continue their war.
The invasion of the USSR was an attempt not only to preemtively fend off the red army, but to capture resources.
The failure of the Nazis in the USSR greatly weakened their military. If they nuked Stalingrad, they could have captured the remaining parts of the city and shipped resources back to Europe. Instead they froze to death while pouring weapons, troops and heavy armour into a long fruitless seige on the city. That equipment could have been used to defend against the Allied invasion, and it could have been reenforced by resources captured in the USSR.
I'm no historian, but they might have changed the battle of Stalingrad. Yeah, it's not 1945, but it's one bomb which could have been delivered by truck.
With that, the Russian advance is halted, and the Maginot line is reinforced by raw materials. Oh and seeing the nuke, Britain might surrender.
At my highschool, fries and a softdrink were significantly cheaper than the healthy alternatives. Kids don't have a lot of money, not only are they getting immediate grafication from the junk food, but they're saving their cash for stuff other than lunch.
IMHO, it should be the duty of a cafeteria manager to ensure that the cheapest thing on the menu is a healthy lunch. That would have had me eating a lot better in highschool.

You missed the part where I said the providers pay the municipality:
"The wireless network would be funded through payments ot the city by the Internet service providers."

The gas taxes don't come close to covering the costs of roads.
As if we needed any more evidence that VoIP will be sued out of existance.
Oh well, buy any stock he offers and sell at 400%.
Strictly speaking, you're correct. "Correct" being defined by logic.
But if somebody uses logic to test the value of a faith, then they're using logic as a faith.

What was the old google.stanford.edu thing about? I thought Google was a research project turned company.

As long as you're paying taxes, you're paying the soldier to burn that child.
Yep... and if he hasn't lined up some contacts in companies at this point in his education, he probably won't be working in comp-sci.
The goggles, they do nothing!

If you don't pay the taxes, you can't enforce the copyright. You could even use the taxes to fund a dispute system.

That would be nice. Change the UI to be style-centric and people might start using them.
As it is, I tend to take people's documents, strip all the crud off them by pasting them into Notepad and reformatting them with styles.
