Do you forget so soon that 95% of computer jobs are in house jobs, and aren't being sold outside the company? That means if GPL destroyed 'for pay' software, a minimum of 95% of the job would still be there.
This is what the BBC documentary "Power of Nightmares" said. To butcher a 5 hour documentary to a few lines, it said that governments used to have power by giving people visions and dreams. This was the liberal way. That failed however and now governments are using fear. The future will be a constant switch between the 2. You can get the documentary on bittorrent. I highly recommend it.
Why on earth is this marked as flaimbait? The parent is correct - this is nothing to do with MS's code, it's about the APIs and MS not wanting other people from creating open source code from the APIs.
I would disagree. I've seen various programs on tv about farmers using computers to watch the prices for various produce, so they can haggle more effectively when they sell it at the market (or more importantly don't get ripped off).
Also access to the wealth of knowledge on farming etc is invaluable.
Socrates it was telling stories to children (He was jailed and arguably 'killed' for that)
Then plays were blamed (children acting out/seeing fictional violence? But how can they tell the difference?!) I can't for the life of me remember who famously received criticism for that - Demosomeone.
Cool. Could you expand on this please? I did lsusb when plugging in one of the multi-function printers that I had, and the kernel reported it as just a hub with multiple devices on it.
"Lets say I have a multifunction printer hooked up to my PC. The fax fails."
Just to say, the computer doesn't see a "multifunction printer". It just sees a USB hub with several devices connected. If the fax fails, then it's just that device that has failed.
It bugs me no end when people talk about the whole space pen/pencil thing. Is it really that hard to deduce by yourself that having bits of conductive pencil bits floating around a weightless space station isn't such a good idea
Oh btw, kpdf can handle encyption/DRM. There's even a compile time flag to ignore the DRM restrictions:):) Several distros compile with it set. (This is quite new btw - I think it got in before the kde 3.4 release)
you would probably have to restrict what wavelengths you want to use.
I work in a laser company, and we use front coated mirrors (the coating uh on the front, instead of behind the glass) and for a particular wavelength of light. You can achieve 5 or 6 9's efficency that way (99.999%)
How many businesses pay for tech support for MS Office? The small businesses I've worked in haven't The large ones tend to have their own support staff.
"open to more than one interpretation" Yes that's exactly what I said - has multiple semantic meanings.
"Doubtful or uncertain" Ditto.
You are getting yourself very confused. Just because it's unclear which way is the best way to design your xml doesn't make your decided xml in the least bit ambiguous.

yes, but like you say all compression is tailored to the data. After all the average compression for a random data is zero.
I doubt there's a way to define what information density is. After all, you could compress it to just 1 bit with the appropriate algorithm
Heh, I was going to do the math myself, but then thought "nobody will care" and stopped. Glad to see someone else did it for me.
Just to point out that a lot of that compression is merely from the fact that you are only using 26 out of the possible 2^8 combinations.

Like that.
Why stop there?

What am I missing?

Technically there's other problems, like it can't handle transparency etc. But few people outside the publishing world know or care or notice.

I would also guess that a magnifying glass is more efficient. A mirror is only about 80% efficient.
Because the intensity would damage the mirror, perhaps?
Yes, but to state that as "xml is ambiguous" is a rather large stretch.

funny enough, you already said the solution. Enter in "= with the speech mark :)

I tracked down an example.

um dude, you are seriously confused.
Ambiguous means that something has multiple semantic meanings. Not that one semantic meaning has multiple representations.
