Or if you ever need a security clearance...how many papers does one need to write in order for patterns of thought or patterns of identification to show up?
Its an interesting question: whose "work" is it? Does it belong to the professor/teacher who spoonfed you until you could do it? Does it belong to the institution that pays the professor/teacher's paycheck? Did the student use the school library (or other school materials?) My school claims to own all research. The Chemistry and Physics departments both claim that the Departments own all reseach. At least one Astronomer says that he owns his own research.
If the instructor released a solution set and next semester the students were too dumb to find it, they just don't know how to research. I'm not sure the students did actually cheat. Lets take it a step further. I generate all my homework on mathematica, so I can save as TeX. Is it cheating to give this away? Ok, how about if I copyright my solution set and publish it? Is it "cheating" for a student to purchase this? Or would this be a derivative work? At least one Professor has told me he won't be returning my printouts, implying they will be the solution set for graders...
Spam is not free open communication: a bilateral exchange of ideas, or even a onesided thoughtful discourse. Spam is advertising. Democracy is based on the freedom to discuss ideas and differences. Especially its about allowing the expression of ideas that we aren't so fond of ourselves. If "spam" were thoughtful and attempted to express thoughts or ideas in a meaningful way, then we'd call it "journalism" or "literature", and *pay* to have it delivered in a timely manner. Its not. We don't. End of rant:-)
One of the "horrible consequences" of the "horrible idea" is stability. Putting the components in their own processes means a component's death isn't going to kill the app.
Here here! And the enviornment I use for numerical analysis isn't the one I use for browsing the web. (Its not even the one I used *last week*, just for the stimulation of making the change.) Diversity is a good thing, and remap the keys if need be. Without both VI and Emacs, we'd never have Viper!
Seems kind of strange that the people who need a GUI the least are the ones who are pickiest about mice.
How about making that "makes sense that people who are the most pickly about there UI are also picky about their mice". Insisting on a commandline is being picky. The best interface for the job at hand, etc... needing a gui the least sounds like "making do" without one.
"effectively protects" doesn't refer to the effectiveness of the protection, but rather that the effect is to protect. e.g., say you rotate 13 your password, and everybody knows it. that meets "effectively protect" even though its not effective. yet its purpose is, in effect, to protect...
The declaration of independence was very much against the status que. Luckily for democracy, we won. Its not surprising that once established, the new status que would like to disavow the declaration of independence.
You might be right re: promotion of the public welfare. You are totally ignoring the part about "secure the blessings of liberty." To prevent curbing free speech for the purpose of increased public welfare at the price of liberty is *exactly* why the constitution is worded as it is. You, my fellow slashdotter, are exhibitting exactly the sort of behavior that we need to be protected against.
It continues to amaze me how often Richard Stallman's "refutations" are religious in nature, and yet purported to be of substance. When not religious in nature, they are personal attacks. I, for one, have never seen RMS's stated principles actually refuted. I've merely seen failed attempts.

Oh no! I know where that USGS marker is! He's near the sheriff's repeating station for the county! *smirk*
But Miguel is stressing that its embrace, without extending. Miguel is only about compatibility, to the point of suggesting classes shouldn't be written that wouldn't run on MS.NET.
Then if I independently develop the same solutions you had sold the secret to, I could also sell my version? Since I didn't have to pay you to find out your secret, what do I owe you? Is ther merit to rewarding the very first accross the finish line?

The 68x00 kicked ass on '386.
Can you say "SCSI"? I knew you could.
Now, can you say "Firewire"?
Maybe they don't buy *you* a car...
*cough* nitpick: actually it all started with a 4-bit video text editor, the 4004
LOL...Reminds me of trying to run Win2.0 on my '286. "call me a troll", but does MS think anybody will pay for that shit?

KDE is slow compared to windows on the same box? *LOL*

Excellent. How about just a mailserver? Email it a .doc attatchment and recieve a .rtf reply!
It integrates with MC wonderfully! (Who says "UI" has to be GUI?)

"Head" shops are illegal in this county. ZigZags can be purchased at gas stations, but put a feather on a corn pipe and risk arrest...
Just because they've printed it in their manual doesn't mean they have the right.
Free speech does cover the right to detail the chemistry and physics of "do it yourself" bombs.

I don't think corporate interests focus on the rate of technological progress nearly so much as the revenue rate.
