That would depend on what they were doing. The point being that having your heart repaired is probably worth more to you than a hamburger (unless you are J. Wellington Wimpy, of course).
IIRC the Labor Theory of Value (LTV) is that a good or service's value is measured by the amount of labor that goes into it. Therefore, if it takes 4 person-hours of labor to do a car tuneup and 4 person-hours of labor to do a heart bypass, both services are worth the same, since they took the same amount of labor time to do it. In a true LTV system, such service value _to you_ doesn't enter into it, it is the sheer expenditure of labor that has value.
It certainly feels authentic, and probably not too far from the truth when the only jobs out there were hunting, gathering and childrearing, but it's complete balderdash in any economy since at least the Renaissance.
4) Twiki is still GPL (this cannot be undone). So unless the team/company start from scratch must continue to release source code improvements.
In theory, all GPL contributions that have not had their copyright given over to the project could be expunged and the remaining product could be cleanly relicensed. Of course, the last GPL version would still be out there, but future revisions would not be.. Didn't Nessus do something like this?
With GPL, that is basically impossible. Granted, if you write the vast majority of the code yourself (and you have copyright of submitted code assigned to you), you can simply choose to update the closed source, but the code out there under GPL will remain GPL.
After RTFA it appears that Sun donated a few servers to host twiki.. Will they be taking them back now that the arrangement has changed (or will the venture folks end up paying for them)?
Either way, pretty stupid way of doing things, worse than XFree86 even, especially for a GPL project...
He makes the same fatal mistake that nearly all economists make when talking about labor. They assume that labor in and of itself has value. It doesn't. Only the products of the labor have value, and then only if someone is willing to value it.
Waitaminit.. You're saying that an hour of a cardiovascular surgeon's time isn't worth the same as an hour of a fry cook's time? That's not _equality_...
Clearly you have not spent enough time in academia.
(ps: kudos for using an anti-Marxist argument for OSS, it gets so tedious when folks call OSS people commies.. To me OSS is more like standards, like a liter or gram, or the side of the road you drive on.. Imagine if you had to pay some institute in France a royalty to measure the mass or volume of something...)
So far so good. Now if only Apple would fix the 'mangle photo before email' problem, so that I can email full-size photos with full EXIF information instead of having to tether to get them...
What society should be doing it helping these people. You can't just treat them like pests and hope they go away. They're still people, they just don't have a home.
Seriously though, got almost all the HDDVDs I want, at the same price or less than the standard DVDs at a B&M store.. The last batch averaged below $10 a pop.. Maybe when that runs out and the 45nm PS3 comes out I'll pick one up for bluray and folding@home..
For something like a political or news website, I think it's eminently fair for crawlers to make periodic snapshots to prevent candidates or journalists from being able to retcon themselves to present a false lack of hypocrisy.
It's only when it goes from 'periodic' to 'DoS' that it becomes dirty pool IMHO.
I just hope bikers pay attention to news reports.. If a biker dies because of being hit by a "distracted" driver who only gets a pittance of a sentence, they should read the court records, find out the killer's address, and exact vengeance on them.
There is no excuse for distracted driving leading to the death of anyone. If you can't control your kids, have your spouse/partner do it, and if you don't have a spouse/partner, don't drive with your unruly spawn.
Everyone else, pay some goddamn attention for Xenu's sake..
I have a 700p, using "Good" Exchange-push mail. It is slow, cramped, flaky, clunky, and slow. Did I mention that it's too fucking slow?
Palm needs hardware fast enough so that I'm never waiting for mail to process, apps to switch, or anything like that. When 3-4 days of mail is processing, the damned thing is unusable for way too long.
I don't care whose fault it is, I just hate how slowwwww the damn thing is.
Oh that's ok, I'm sure the number of Americans who can find Canada on a map is only barely surpassed by the number of Americans who actually care that Canada exists.. Or that anyplace else on the planet exists, for that matter.
Well... To be fair, when I was in school, DE's licenses were laminated, and easily reproducible via laser printer (that newfangled contraption circa 1990).. Any state with laminated and easily-printable licenses were suspect, but then again, most of the Buffalo bars didn't _really_ give a tinker's cuss...
Still, being in the top 10 on the Tax Foundation's list and still being on the east coast is not too bad...
Northbound: get off at Elkton Rd (Univ of DE), drive up to Otts' Chapel Rd, turn right, turn left onto Welsh Tract Rd., turn right on 896, then exit right onto 95N.
Southbound: exit 95S at 1B, turn left onto Welsh Tract Rd., turn right onto Otts' Chapel Rd., turn left onto Elkton Rd, exit right onto 95S.
Frankly, it's probably the best possibility for a Libertarian state in the union.. NH is being ruined by Massholes demanding government services, and AK is just too rich an oil target... DE IIRC still has less than 1m people, and in theory if a large enough influx of libertarians would come here and vote, interesting things would result..
(and yes, I'm a refugee from NY. Believe it or not, there's more tech work here per capita than you'd think... Most of it legitimate!)

The one thing that may motivate my lazy ass to build a home VOIP system would be to have a CID blacklist feature.
And even better, a distributed MAPS-style CID blacklist, pointing to say whocalled.us or some similar service.

and (sadly) George Orwell in the Accurate Vision of the Future category.
Oh pleez, dramatic much? Spare me.
If anything, Huxley's work was far more accurate in predicting modern culture. Hell, there's even a muscle relaxant called Soma on the market!!
Maybe not as high profile, but IIRC Intel used them heavily for advertising their Pentiums, which "make the internet go faster"...
Plus, I like the word as an expletive.. "Quokkkkkkkaaaa!!!!" It sounds almost Klingon...
Maybe beenz was bigger in the UK, or they had loftier "ambitions".. But I bet more folks know about flooz.com than beenz, and it's a stupider name.
Call me lazy, but trn > rn..
