Maybe they're first project should be: make wikipedia's internal search work correctly! It can't even handle the most basic miss-spellings now.
If your serious about this, don't compete with google, instead partner with google and make a wiki.google.com provide google's own search results & ads, but filtered and processed in various ways, which are handled by the wiki.
For example, you want to give only unique sites/hits but this may depend upon the host's url.
Why not just try to merge these contracts into one "starting point" contract for the labels to place on their webpage? No doubt some labels will change it. But, as with OSI approved licenses, you could still have some site listing everyone who follows more-or-less this license. Such an indexing site is a major selling point of posting the license because radio operators themselves will find your material more easily.
A big boost to the labels might be asking the radio stations to clearly present their playlist *with* links to the artist/label. I'm sure more labels would the generic license on their webpage if they knew it meant more click through traffic.
Dude, these pigeons are treated better than that hamburger you ate for lunch. And your hamburger had considerably more capasity for emotion & suffering. So, if you ain't vegetarian, you have no room to talk.
Skype should obviously be openned too. Indeed, software copyright enforcement *should* require source code publication, period, no exceptions.
However, there is more need and justification to open the mobile operators since they rip everyone off more and they are using public resources like frequency and land (yes, they do use eminent domain powers to take your land & put up towers).
It will be mentioned in the U.S. but no one who doesn't already object to Stallman's politics will care.
Are you sure people in South America will care? Castro are respected more like some crazy devout religious cousin. You don't want their lifestyle or worldview, even if you pay them lip service publicly. So yeah maybe this helps ratify that Linux is the moral choice. But I doubt people care much about morality when choosing an operating system.
I'd say the Venezuelian move is far far more important since people actually respect Venezuela's economic power, and filling Venezuela's economic needs will translate into more software.
In most paper RPGs, you start off moderately powerful and gain additional power only very slowely.. and often mostly through money and items.. its more fun. And obviously you won't have boring games if your advancment is mostly coming from finding items since you won't need two of most items.
I'm not ure now, but in the past those fees were about $20. So every customer who contests will win and cost Amazon $20. Amazon knows this but likely expects that most people won't see or care. So spread the word & get more people to contest these charges.
p.s. Even if Amazon won by some fluke, the credit card company will still charge Amazon the $20ish fees per contested charge.
Yes, Symbian OS phones will squash the iPhone because Symbian is comparatively open. just wait for a Symbian phone with an enterface almost as good as the iPhone, i.e. a multitouch UI & such. Plus Symbian OS will have pen entry which Jobs dislikes. So you'll be able to write emails & smses far far far more easily on a Symbian phone than on an iPhone. It'll be the absence of a pen which kills the iPhone.
What? Many Microsoft haters have been wating for Apple's next Newton for a long time. *Most* are extremely disapointed with Apple's iPhone which is just an expensive & pretty phone & mp3 player package. And not the true mobile computing enviroment everyone wanted. And the major grip is that you just can't enter significant quantities of text since it has no stylus with handwriting recognision. People are now accepting that Symbian OS is likely be the one to provide a true mobile computing enviroment since its moving towards handwriting recognision.
Apple's phone is just pretty & it'll sell for being pretty, but it won't change much, execpt by forcing other mobile phone makers to improve their GUIs to do the same stuff *almost* as well as Apple (i.e. multi-touch & such).
No, OS X's interface is designed for a specific sitauation. It'll naturally be quite diffrent on the phone. Yes the basic underlying calls will be similar, it'll clearly by objective C quite simillar to Cocoa, and may components will be ported, and programs may use the same names, but you just can't expect desktop software to run usably in such an environment. A user interface on a very small display has completely diffrent needs. And, unlike Microsoft with its stupid Win CE, Apple actually understands this point about differing user interface needs.
No, it may have Darwin, it make even use some simillar graphics calls, but it'll be nothing like Mac OS X, whatever Apple wants to call it. It's just a completely diffrent set of needs.
But merely using Darwin, even with a graphics system, drastically simplifies the task of porting software. However Apple may not make it soo easy to port software, as is the problem with most mobile phone makers.
No 3G is a deal breaker in Europe. So you'll see 3G on the European model. Not that any European will pay $500 for a phone. But it'll still have 3G. So you can't exactly count the U.S.'s silly wireless networking problems aginst the phone.
But yes Symbian OS phones will crush the iPhone. Here is why:
1) Jobs' 1 button mouse stupidity has struck again: No stylus. You can't write on it. So you can't enter much text. So you can't seriously use it as a PDA. Nor can you write many emails. Symbian OS phones will use a stylus and handwriting recognition. Thus iPhone loses. (No, no one wants your silly bluetooth keyboard taking up more space, we want to write)
2) No VoIP, i.e. no SIP, no Skype. Symbian OS phone will have both SIP & Skype. Skype over WiFi is essential for controlling phone costs. SIP over WiFi is essential for interacting with office VoIP setups. Thus iPhone losed to Symbian OS again.
3) No IM. Need I say more?
Now yes Apple's interface sounds quite nice, but Symbian's is pretty good too, but few will sacrifice essential features like IM, VoIP, and hand writing recognision. Apple's market here is their current iPod users who see nothing beyond "music and phone together in pretty package".
Yes, its completely determined by the "teachers", which is why you should call them advocates, not teachers. If one side chooses their advocates poorly, yes they'll lose and OJ will go free, or the Hurricane will go to jail. Mostly this will mean that well funded lobbyists support those ideas which profit them, just as with normal legislatures. But there would be more chance of killing bad ideas by either charismatic pro-bono advocates or a moderately funded opposition who can state its case planely & clearly. I was not advocating deliberative democrasy as a way to determine policy or design legislation. I was advocating it as a "verification tool" for stuff determined by the legislature. I don't know enough to comment on usin it for determining policy directly.
Idea is: Add a fourth branch of government who replaces the presidential/gubernatorial veto with a "jury trial" by 100ish citizens. Each legislative faction could send advocates who'd make their case. If the jury vetos the law, the legislature can always try again later, but not immediately.
Point is: Researchers have found that citizens make better decissions on a jury then when voting.
Does IBM just want money? Do they want Amazon to buy their stuff? Could they be seeking cross licensing deals for Amazon's shit patents?
I'd be lovely if IBM descided that its time someone puts the U.S. patent office out of its missery, but I'm sure this isn't the case if they have been trying to negotiate licensing deals with Amazon. But it might still have that effect if Amazon is stupid.
Bus lanes work quite well in Paris, since it has big streats, but London needed the congestion charge.
Bus lanes might work in NYC too, but Americans use cars much more. Also bus lanes are usually supported by the caby loby since cabs are usually permitted in bus lanes, but NYC does not have this option.
Manhatten needs a $20/day congestion charge [nt]

No money changes hands, but you may bypass the other sides spamfilters if you factor a product of large prime numbers for them, thus proving that you spend computing power on sending that email. Works like a charm!!

Forget Apple! Just buy a Nokia N800 for $300. N800s run Linux & real linux software, but weigh nothing since they have no ND!
An N800 is maybe better for people who can afford to have other full sized computers.
