So get together a group of people (or an online social network) and arrange to swap EZ-Passes. Do it periodically, so that no one has any one pass for too long, and make sure that everyone pays whatever fees they've accumulated on the pass they have before they swap it.
Don't keep track of who had the pass in the past; just keep track of where they are now, and if the cops ask, you can reasonably say that you have no idea who was using that pass 6 months ago.
I used to think that this was a natural way to do things; "I have this window open already, why didn't it just put my webpage inside it? Or this text file? Or this PDF?" This is an idea I pined for back in the Mac OS 8-9 days. Instead, I just taught myself to hold down Option as I opened things, which would close the Finder window as the open happened.
Then I used KDE and it does this. "Neat!" says I, "It reduced window clutter and makes everything simpler!" This was all well and good for a few minutes, then I realized where this idea goes horribly off the tracks: I don't want it to reuse windows, because a window is customized to its contents: its size and location matter: I want my web browser to be tall and skinny, my files to be short and squat, and single-task items to be tiny (if they're simple and only open for a short time) or huge (if there's lots of sub-views). I spent the next few minutes finding out how to turn this feature off.
I'm suing Kia for selling me a car without a user-replaceable gas tank. Sure, I didn't ask if the gas tank was replaceable, and sure, I could get lots of tools and replace it if I really wanted to, but I find it much easier to sue.
I really, really enjoy the lack of advertising bombarding me in my life.
My wife and I went cable-free almost 3 years ago, and one of the most interesting things we have noticed is that we often get asked "Did you see that new Pepsi commercial?" or "Did you see that commercial with the Bear doing that thing?" but rarely get asked "Did you see the new episode of Lost?" or "Did you watch American Idol last night?"
No one seems to care about the shows; the thing everyone talks about is the 30-second spot that consists of a single joke.
Could they manage to say less in this article? There's no reference to what the flaw is, how bad it is; anything. The mention that Google Engineers found it, and then some analysts talk about how it could be a problem for all browsers that have a JVM, which sounds analysty and most likely wrong.
CUPS was written by Michael R Sweet, an owner of Easy Software Products. In February of 2007 Apple Inc. hired Michael and acquired ownership the CUPS source code.
So, unless by "the timing of this" you meant "happened months ago and is a good example of Steve Job's future telling abilities learned on his homeworld," I don't think you can tie this to the GPL3.
Randall Stephenson: We use this term a lot at AT&T--we think the iPhone is a "game changer" in our industry. It will change how people think about these handsets.
Um... Randall? If you're using the term 'game changer' a lot, that probably means you don't know what a game-changer is. If they were all over, they would just be the game.
And it was tasty and refreshing, thank you very much.
The reason I want an iPhone is because I've been extremely happy with every Apple product I've ever bought. They want to provide me with a service I desire for a price I find appropriate? Oh, that tricksy Jobs! He's got me again!
The only reason why Jobs is spouting off is because A) it is good PR and B) he knows there is not a slim chance in hell the RIAA will relent from their position. It is really safe to declare that you want a DRM free world, even if you don't, when you know that the powers that be will never let this DRM free world come to pass.
Why is it that we all go on and on about Occam's Razor and "don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity", but when someone says they don't like DRM they're automatically some part of a conspiracy? Isn't the simplest explanation that Jobs-- a guy who used to sell blue boxes-- actually DOESN'T LIKE DRM? And he's gone on with it because that was the name of the game, but now has enough elbow room to make a difference that WE ALL AGREE WITH ANYWAY?
There's another lobby 'round back that people are free to use. But people try to avoid it because there are six different check-in counters, the forms you have to fill out are too long, and the decor makes your eyes bleed.
Yeah, I used to be envious of Microsoft's Office Suit because it made him so popular, with everyone always talking about its sharp lines and snazzy cufflinks, but then I realized that the only shoes that matched was that one old pair that dated back to the mid 80s, hadn't been shined since, and had broken laces that he kept tripping on.
I'm sorry, but this is a total non sequitur: you can no more infer that than I can infer from your name that you are a magic weasel.
The argument is misstated (either by the poster or the Christian in question), but is traditionally called the Total Depravity of Man, which holds that Man is fallen and cannot do good deeds by himself, because he is a slave to sin. In this view, only the Grace of God allows one to transcend that slavery, allowing man to do moral deeds.
So the theological point is not that atheists do not have the capacity for morality, it is that NO ONE does, but Christians can do moral deeds through Christ. It's not about "I'll do this because otherwise the bearded guy in the clouds will smite me" but rather "I can do good things because of that guy"
After all, no one who isn't anglo-saxon Christian couldn't possibly do anything to deserve criticism. It's all just a plot of White Supremacists, fighting for control with the Elders of Zion and the Freemasons. Right?
Dammit man, you've blown our cover! Expect the "Re-education Team" at your door in five minutes.
The point of using a tool like CheckStyle is that the automated test takes care of the "simple" stuff like formatting and high cyclomatic complexity and naming standards and confusing names and calling super in finalize and a dozen other things, so that when you bug the guy in the next cube to break his concentration and look at your code, he can check the requirements and the screen size and all that, and know that there aren't dumb mistakes that even the computer can catch.
It's simple division of labor: computers are good at scanning hundreds of files for patterns, and people are good at designing and checking high-level systems requirements. Let them each do what they are good at, but don't assume that either job is a replacement for the other.
Not many people nowadays purchase all the parts and assemble them in their garage. You go down to the car dealer and buy the whole contraption, tires and all. The parts are available, but only a small percentage of anyone actually assembles their own.
This is classic moving up the value chain: If I pay someone else to put the thing together, I can use it to my own ends (driving to work, hauling lumber, whatever) and I don't have to build it myself.
In this light, Microsoft makes perfect sense, because they built a product and people bought it so that they wouldn't have to build their own copy. Apple also makes sense, but they're going a step further and putting software and hardware together before people buy, just like Dell, HP, et al.
I used to go out to customer sites for my previous paycheck,and I'd bring all our company's product installers on my iPod. Plug it in, download a few files, and away you went. It made things simple, quick and effecient; I just had to make sure the versions on my iPod were up to date (thanks, cron!) and all was well with the world.
But companies like yours were why I was forced to also have everything on my PowerBook, which had a CD burner. I'd get to those companies and have to bring out the PowerBook to burn the Linux or Windows installers to disc, which we would then push over. Not too bad, but still a few extra steps that slowed down the process.

I concur.
-LoopingRepititon allows you to repeat elements
-Smarter Form controlsThere don't seem to be any; a <date> and <time> would be nice, at least.
-Eliminate the need for putting a space in empty table cells.<td/>'s content model: Zero or more block-level elements, or inline-level content (but not both).
- ???I like this bit.
- Profit!That's up to you.
I assure you, Ladies and Gentlemen of the audience, this gigantic crate is levitating! Between it and the stage are entire nanometers of magic.

Well, they're bundling their search engine as the default one that the phone uses. Sound familiar?
I'm sorry; could you repost your argument in Esperanto, so that my friends and I can read it?

They sold Zunes? Really?
Do I have to?
Could they manage to say less in this article? There's no reference to what the flaw is, how bad it is; anything. The mention that Google Engineers found it, and then some analysts talk about how it could be a problem for all browsers that have a JVM, which sounds analysty and most likely wrong.
I did a search on Google News and came up with nothing BUT this article.
Anyone have anything more concrete?
So, unless by "the timing of this" you meant "happened months ago and is a good example of Steve Job's future telling abilities learned on his homeworld," I don't think you can tie this to the GPL3.

Then lets just say it's illegal. We've never let facts get in the way of a good Microsoft-bashing before; why start now?
What's that watermelon doing there?

To use the old car analogy...
