Which one? The turnover rates in India are much higher, leaving you with an inexperienced workforce, not to mention the fact that USians and Indians are barely mutually intelligible in English. What other English speaking countries are so cheap?
I agree. People rag on the RIAA for suing pirates, and I don't agree with their tactics. However I would say it is more ethical for Microsoft to start suing those who pirate their software than for them to do the things they do with WGA to the people who buy their software.
No, the GPL says that mixing proprietary software with free software is evil. Even then, there is the LGPL which allows linking. BSD just says do whatever you want so long as you attribute. By picking one of these the author gets to choose how his software is to be used. I don't see any sort of judgment about how other people's software should be used.
Why would anyone bother buying a tivo when they can just get it right with their cable bill?
Because the cable company charges usurious rates and extra fees for a DVR with a crap interface that's littered with bugs? The only thing stopping me from switching to Tivo currently is on demand. You have to keep a box from the cable company for that to work, since cable card does not support it, and they charge you for it.
I think her point was that charitable giving should start on a personal (uber local) level rather than an institutional one. I highly doubt she was opposed to soup kitchens.
But there's far too many people, on both sides of the argument, who refuse to accept even the remotest possiblity that the other side might be right, and that their beliefs might be wrong
Mainstream science owes nothing to ID proponents until they do some homework. The holes they claim to find in the scientific foundation are either legitimate gaps that they politicize (as opposed to filling with new data), ie gaps in the fossil record, or claims that have been thoroughly rejected by experts only to be made again with no new data, ie issues with dating techniques. IDers need to stop resurrecting dead talking points and go find some data that supports their claims. If there is a problem with our model of radioactive decay on a geological time scale, let's prove that rather than just speculate. There's a lot of rich fundies in the world. Surely someone will put up the money for this...
By the way, just how does it work out when someone supports Euthanasia and Abortion but is against the death penalty? "The unborn and the old are ok to kill but the killers and the rapists aren't."???
Easy: euthanasia is suicide by other means, totally different from an execution, the never-going-to-be-born aren't people, and it costs more to execute people than to keep them in prison / punishment is final even if new evidence comes to light . I know lots of people who would take those positions.
Actually there's a secondary reason that Christianity is the dominant religion: several more recent Christian despots and the Pope saw fit to hurtle armies at the Holy Land. They brought back enough knowledge from those more advanced societies to spark the Renaissance, just as development of knowledge in the Muslim world was peaking.
TV's purpose in the past and now was/is to control the populace. We have less need for TV now since most of society has the internet and religiously tweets about it for hours on end.
And later on, the same thing repeats, except it's the evil Catholics persecuting us poor righteous Lutherans.
Don't most schools teach about the Reformation? And I can't really see anyone taking the other side either. The Catholic Church has mostly admitted the mistakes it was making at that time, and, you know, reformed.
In this case unions drove the cost of labor so high that the business died. The investors got nothing and the union got to keep their pay for the most part. Why shouldn't I disparage them? They forced me through politics into a raw deal.
I am a libertarian. We recognize that it is in the purview of the federal government to take limited sets of action to encourage competition in interstate commerce and prevent market abuses. Well maybe someone out there doesn't, but it's not like it's in the party platform.
Actually I would have broken MS into several companies a long time, either by separating Windows from Office from IE. Other people would make a more parallel split, but encouraging competition is the goal in any case.
What's stupid is allowing the monopoly to continue to exist while pretending to do something about it with imaginary fines and toothless regulations.
Well since you made the gambling analogy... there needs to be such thing as a pot limit. Not every case needs to be able to be dragged out indefinitely, and it's a judge's job to say when enough is enough. Presumably legal costs should be proportional to the sum of money in contention.
Due diligence is a standard in all kinds of cases, mostly civil though. In general all you need to do is record the sources you checked for, in this case, prior art. If anyone challenges your diligence later you can produce the list of places it wasn't.

They mandate these programs for parolees now (well not for internet addiction but you get my point.
You can't invoke ADA to get addiction treatment HOWEVER some private health insurance does cover it. Whether internet addiction counts I do not know.
I'm wondering... how did they do this? The N800 appears to have and ARM CPU, yet VMWare does not appear to support ARM guests.
Pirating content cheaper than buying it. News at 11.
Not that cable isn't overpriced.
When in Rome...

What's wrong with cablecard other than no two way, which is supposedly being fixed?

recognize that your users don't care about KDE vs. Gnome holy war
Blasphemy! We need more fodder for the front lines.
Windows CE runs on ARM.
So the people who were blaming "modern society" or stress or some such were just making shit up?
