I think taking the software down is a very boding/bodeable/bodeful/whatever thing to do. I wouldn't expect anything else unless they had concrete proof that there was absolutely no chance at all that there was even the remote possibility of a GPL violation, and unless the software was developed completely in house and the claim of GPL violation was made with no evidence at all they can't be sure of that.
I've matched several byte strings in IE7 to byte strings in GPL'ed software. So far I've found at least '0001', 'A3B5', and '17B4'.:waits hopefuly:
I always thought that having all stewardesses be topless was the better idea. Not only would it dissuade the terrorists from even getting on the plane, it would easily triple the amount of business travel, restoring profitability to the airlines.
Yeah, I mean Richard Branson saw Iron Man too, so what gives?
As a comedian once suggested, have an airline where at least one of the passengers in your party has to be packing, and everybody eats a bacon-wrapped scallop on they way in. No, screenings, just "Fly At Your Own Risk Airways."
But, hey, chocolate and peanut butter - even if both ideas are terribly shellfish.
Plus, remind them they were never promised 72 virgin women.
The Mac advice doesn't help when they go out and buy a Sony camcorder with no Mac software, and no Firewire port (which would work with the software Apple does have.)
The goal is to ease the admin's life, not the user's, though the Mac should do both.
Besides, they support USB cameras now (in the crappy recent version of iMovie anyway).
You seem to be suggesting that Oracle wants to destroy the market for MySQL. As the largest database vendor in the world, how does it benefit Oracle to destroy any market for databases, however large or small?
If the EC makes them spin it off (become a competitor) then just maybe they will. That's what the EC is after, right?
Only the former really should have driving rights revoked. Not the later at all.
Yeah, I totally agree, yet look how they abuse their power. If Bob killed somebody he probably ought to be in prison for that, not merely having his license revoked. A good (and Constitutional in my state) system would have him being a great, penitent, driver by time he got out.
The trouble is, our governments seem to rapidly converge on the corrupt and capricious. So, if we have to chose to err on one side of the issue, it's probably better to err on the side of liberty and recognize a Right to Travel. It's imperfect and has some negative consequences, but both options do.
While true, I think the point is an even larger subset of people literally won't survive if those whom can't drive properly are allowed to do so anyway...
Most license suspensions are for not obeying administrative rules, not due to dangerous conduct. Even at that, though, how do we expect Bob, who lives 10 miles from town, to eat if he has to walk, in the middle of Winter to get his food? Would he have been previously banned from riding a horse? Interesting conundrums.
it's going to be 30 years before there viable breeder reactor producing power. It's going to take 50+ years before there's a possibility of a viable fusion reactor.
There are significant engineering problems with both now.
We had a working 40MW IFR reactor in the early 90's.
1. Why the govt. does not want to resolve the mess that is software patents, now that a golden opportunity has been presented?
For a large part of US history the judicial branch has stopped being a co-equal branch of government. Keyword: 'judicial deference'. It's a really big problem for people who enjoy a constitutional republic.
Looks like the main drawback is the liquid sodium coolant, because sodium is so reactive. What other metals might work?
It's reactive if you let it out. We know how to handle liquid sodium.
Otherwise, I don't see a downside here, at least not compared to traditional reactors. If there is one, someone kindly pipe up.
It's nookulur. Clinton defunded it with one of his first executive orders, and Gore and Kerry lead the fight to kill it in the Congress the next year. At the time the speculation was it was payback to environmental lobbyists - Sierra Club is against anything nuclear, for instance.
"It's been framed as a witch hunt or a fishing expedition, and it's not," said Sally Daly, spokeswoman for Alvarez. "We're engaging in a discovery process as we would in any criminal investigation."
1. So, in discovery they usually try to introduce federally-protected records of defence witnesses without factual bearing on the case? Do they try to get their medical records to try to build some tenuous link to mis-motivation? 2. Just how many Daly's are there in Chicago government?
Editing ROMs? My phone has it built in natively - plug into a machine and it'll offer itself as a 3G card (or USB mass storage, or data mode, or any number of USB thingies). I don't use phones that have carrier-specific firmware on them.
But do they really have any way of detecting what you're doing with your data connection?
When you call up asking for tethering support you'll need to be paying. It's probably expensive to walk an average user through the process successfully.
If you're self-supporting to the point where you can edit your 'ROM' image, you probably don't cost them much.
IIA addresses the "spoiler candidate" issue. You cannot add one or more candidates to change the outcome. (This is opposite the way the criteria is phrased, but it's equivalent.)
Do they change the election if they don't get votes? I'm not sure I understand - if the number of candidates changes (each being different from each other in some way) then that ought to change the voting preferences of the electorate since the relative appeal will change for some people.
Thus, the election method itself cannot encourage or dissuade a candidate from running.
So, if I think that a more representative voting system would encourage more 'good' candidates and fewer 'poor' candidates, then that violates the IIA principle?
Even if there was enough "static" to supply power less than.04% of the elevator will be in the atmosphere.
True, I don't know what the energy requirements are either. There were folks talking about putting up 3 mile tall conducting towers (in Australia maybe?) and it was claimed that they could generate enough power for thousands of homes each. But, that might as well be dog-heat per furlongs for all I know about lifting up a space elevator.
In America, you can create Mickey Mouse, and profit from your invention for a period of time double that of the average human lifespan. However, if you cure cancer, you've only got about a decade to reap the profits.

The problem with that is with the average CPAN module, the last 20% will often take more time to do than if you'd just written it from scratch.
Yeah, so ... upload it to CPAN, you freeloader.

Do large memory operations cause the network buffer to stall until the memory changes are synchronized?
Ah, this morning I'm a bit less dense. We'll let them think we're crazy ... for now.
Your .sig could be more ... informational, Bill ;)
sorry, I'm failing to comprehend tonight.

I'm not the OP, but here's a citation. Please provide a citation to back up your accusations.

because driving is not a right, but a privilege
That's their claim. The trouble with their claim is that a large subset of people literally couldn't survive without it.

that and the price concessions they've been wanting for that Atom-based device just came through.
