Valve was asked about DRM at the recent Ubuntu Developer Summit earlier this month. Their answer was essentially "games can include their own DRM" just like on the Windows/Mac versions of Steam.
I could see the let-the-publisher-deal-with-it solution applying to the console as well.
Next time an American school demands their textbooks "teach the controversy" of intelligent design or some other bullshit, we should show them this Indian textbook as an example of how doctoring our textbooks is making us look to the rest of the world.
The union was probably thinking "We already made massive consessions, now the CEO needs to take a pay cut and the private equity groups that saddled us with debt should be facing a lawsuit."
But go ahead, blame the workers. I mean, who needs employees, right?
You agree that you will not take any actions that may cause or result in the fragmentation of Android, including but not limited to distributing, participating in the creation of, or promoting in any way a software development kit derived from the SDK
Wouldn't that prohibit forking? If so, they can't claim it's open source.
This is no different to Windows. Windows driver support is especially poor if you have a GPU older than 3 years. The reality is that Windows has better support for new hardware than Linux, but the complete reverse is true for older hardware.
That may be true for certain hardware, but that's never been my experience. The only problems I've ever run into with graphics drivers for Windows since the XP era was finding 64-bit builds of certain obscure drivers.
On the flip side, even if you can't upgrade your driver on Windows, you can still run most new software on a 10 year old version of the OS. With Linux distros that's extremely difficult, if not impossible.
What's funny is that you profess complete ignorance of "what libertarianism is" in one breath, and then argue in the next breath that Belize must be a libertarian's wet dream.
What's funny is that I never made that argument, yet you're still holding me accountable for it. Does being a libertarian involve making shit up? Because that's the impression I'm getting here.
Of course we do; what would you expect, for us stand idly by as ignorami infect the world with their fallacious thinking? That's just not the Libertarian way.
Apparently the "Libertarian way" is to make a bunch of vague statements as to what libeterianism actually is, then jump all over anyone who dares ask specific questions.
Is there any danger of this happening with MythTV? If Schedules Direct shut down, or if their provider (I believe it's Zap2It) ended the service, what would MythTV users do?
Students need a calculator that is "dumb enough" to not write the entire exam for them and not be able to wirelessly share answers between neighbouring students.
Students need teachers/profs who are "dumb enough" not to realize that graphing calculators have enough memory to store an entire crib sheet of formulas that the students were supposed to memorize.
(Not that I'm speaking from experience here, of course.)
In fact, your entire corporate structure is at risk. How do you know he didn't engineer a brain virus that allows him to use the company's board members as flesh puppets?
He might have even used telepathy to cause major investment banks to sell him all of their shares of the company for pennies on the dollar. He might already own the company. It's best to double check.
In fact, he might be standing behind you right now, brainwashing you with lasers.
Why stop there? Sure, you can make a lot more money without paying your employees well, but why pay them at all?
Slavery greatly increases labor efficiency. Instead of providing a salary that your workers will inevitably waste on unnecessary items like iPhones and designer shirts, you simply provide your workers with the necessities directly.
If you want to blame someone for killing American manufacturing, blame Lincoln.

Let's not forget that this is AC/DC, a band with hits such as "Big Balls" and "You Shook Me All Night Long."
Don't get me wrong, I like AC/DC, but let's not pretend that they're the Mona Lisa here.
Aside from a couple of great indie games, the majority of the games I've enjoyed in the past few months are not available for Linux.
The opposite question would have a much shorter answer.
The Virtual Boy was cutting edge in terms of how hard it failed.

Read his post. You know damn well that affirmative action does NOT involve picking a less qualified minority over a more qualified majority.
Or how about a website where people post comments where they intentionally misinterpret how affirmative action works to justify their racism?
According to this Indian textbook I just read, you must have stolen that burrito and now you're lying about how good it tastes.

Is it just me, or has Steve Wozniak become the practical version of Richard Stallman?

And yet, another post defining libeterianism in the negative.
Is there even such a thing as libeterianism? Or is there only a list of things that it isn't?
Right, but Ubuntu will only have drivers for certain GPUs. If yours isn't one of them, forget it.
Instead of worrying about DirectX, you can worry about which versions of which distro has a driver for your graphics hardware.
But sure, the grass is always greener and all that.
Apparently the "Libertarian way" is to make a bunch of vague statements as to what libeterianism actually is, then jump all over anyone who dares ask specific questions.
It's no different than any other religion.
Funny how whenever someone cites an example of libertarianism not working, a bunch of libertarians jump out and say "No, that's not libertarianism!"
Why is this funny? Because communists always used to do the same thing. Seems like all political extremists share the same methodology.

It wasn't. The affair was with his biographer, and it was uncovered by the FBI.

Do you honestly believe that corporations have feelings?
