Excuse me, but I don't want to give my money to Britney Spears.
That's OK. Britney won't see a dime of it. It'll all go to record company executives, and to their lawyers (to file lawsuits against the schools that said "no").
That's patented too. Sorry. Jerk is the derivative of acceleration with respect to time, and therefore a mathematical formula is used to calculate it. GP has patented that.
I put temporary debug statements in column 0 of my code, purposefully, so that they stick out like a sore thumb and are easily found and removed later.
You too? I do that too! It really does make them easy to find.
the only countries in the world where there are filters or restrictions against internet are countries ruled by dictatorial regimes: those between China, Iran, Cuba, Saudi Arabia.
The point is that MS wants to enforce restrictions on what you do with the copy of Windows after they've sold it to you. This is quite possibly a violation of First Sale. Similarly, Apple is trying to do the same thing here (though the Judge threw out the First Sale defense).

Hey, hey, HEY! This is slashdot! No guitar analogies allowed -- only car analogies.
Replied Cisco, "Curse you, Stallman!"
Actually, their exact words were, "Curse you, Stallman! We'd have gotten away with it, too; if it wasn't for you meddling kids!"
OK. This story's threads are officially over. Nobody can top that one, it's the best tongue-in-cheek post I've seen on Slashdot.
"SpaceX Successfully Tested Disco Thruster"?
Only if you were planning to go to Funkytown!
In my high school they had a programming class that was mostly BASIC but also taught Paschal.
So they taught religion in the programming class? I could understand teaching Pascal, though.
Did you use bubble-cards hand coded in Hollerith? Or did you have actual punches?

Why do you hate America?
Don't forget also, that they still hadn't learned about fallout and long term effects from residual radiation.
To TPTB during WWII, the A-Bomb was a bomb just like any other, only with a much, MUCH bigger bang.

Zebulon J. Brodie is one of the biggest douchebag assholes that I have ever read about on the Internet.
PC Load Letter? What the F**K does that mean?
I'm sorry, but this isn't a Serious Screenplay, you can't say the B-word!

Licensing/patent issues, mostly, plus the fact that it's at least 1 version behind .NET.
As for no Java, TFS said the guy was looking for something besides Java.
I'd like to second this suggestion, regarding Amazon, a donate link, and CafePress.
If you think about it, Ray, this is what PJ does with Groklaw -- a "Donate" button and a CafePress link for Groklaw gear.
The *nix API is in C.
Alternatively, you could look at Perl, as well.
If you're really desperate, you could use Mono, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Are you crazy? That was old back in the '60s!

Besides, all we have to do is pump the heat into another universe through a wormhole bridge!
That's no tax.... that's extortion.
