The banks are doing whatever the homeowners allowed them to do when they gave the bank a mortgage. The mortgage defines every right a homeowner is granting the bank. If they don't want to hand over those rights they don't have to sign the mortgage.
What does that have to do with legitimate foreclosures? It's like saying "i'm not going to arrest any murderers" because some people get arrested falsely. Open season.
Isn't that the point? When an apple goes bad it's ethylene production skyrockets spoiling/ripening all of the surrounding apples.
So, yes. If FOSS is like apples which *you* are implying, then a few bad apples would ruin the whole cart. I'm not so sure FOSS is like an apple cart, but if you want to make the analogy then sure it would fit your analogy that a few bad ones would spoil them all.
I completely agree with you that there are places with WORSE drivers. I don't know about St. Louis or Atlanta. Drivers in the NE are good drivers (ie: usually alert and capable) but they are bloodthirsty and aggressive.
Cool. Thanks for the reminder about assisted steering and braking. You are right. The only time i had break issues is when i drove 3 hours (very fast) and dropped someone off and went to back out and my brake pedal went to the floor and didn't work. The brake-line had just fully cracked open and squirted all of my fluid out with each pump.
I think it was amazing it didn't happen during my 3-hour drive.
You've obviously never driven in the North East (US). During the summer it is often the case of driving in 3 lanes of fast moving traffic that goes on as far as the eye can see and people still tailgate.
Like Mass turnpike eastbound on a sunday evening. Three lanes of solid 78 MPH traffic. Left lane is packed but people will still tailgate even though there is NOWHERE to go. God forbid if you give 2 seconds of following distance or you will be flashed even though you can't go any faster.
The North East has the largest collection of complete asshole drivers.
At a constant speed, how much sooner will you get there if you tailgate vs giving just 2 seconds of following distance? Most people don't know the answer to that question.
If i take any data set (say one with a standard distribution), how many of those data sets would i have to sample on average before i found one that looked like the ones he is talking about? If the expected number of data sets i would have to look at is in the millions, you are correct in that i might find it in my first sample, but the chances are incredibly tiny.
What? That helps calm my nerves. Knowing they are grilling a nice guy like me *must* mean they are catching LOTS of terrists! I can even sleep on planes now, knowing that they catch all of the terrorists.
Actually i think they want to make money by spreading their pollen and then suing you for selling crops you aren't "licensed" to own.
Didn't you know the second their pollen infects your seeds you are now operation a patented machine without a license?
It's like the "viral" GPL, only in this case it is actually viral. Imaging viewing a webpage that had patented methods inside it's cookies and the second you viewed them your entire computer and everything on it or produced by it now needed a patent license. That's what GM crops do.
If they removed patent protection from plant genes, i'd be fine with clearly labeled GMO food products.
I can't wait until someone patent trolls all of agriculture with some GMO. Like something that spreads like a weed across the entire country making every strain of corn contain their patented gene. And then suing every farmer in the country until it is obvious that this whole scheme is crazy.
yeah, but all the small gov't people want gov't out of business.
Shouldn't we stop interfering with business with laws granting corporations personhood? If anyone really believes in laissez faire capitalism, the gov't should be interfering with the marketplace and it can start by abolishing corporations.
I don't personally believe that, but if free market people would follow would they preach they should want that.

Wait. Are you saying sun was too stupid to trademark the name spark and now they are saying they one it too?
It's not defending if no one is attacking your trademark.
If spark was what they wanted for a TM why didn't they trademark the word spark? (trick question)
If only they there existed some sort of due process...someone should invent some sort of due process...
Too bad they signed the mortgage and accepted the bank's cash to allow that to happen....

Don't you mean in a word document?

You mean other than having successful talks with series of countries and re-opening dialogs with other countries?
And he's been playing tough with Israel and had some decent talks with Russia.
I completely agree that it is too early to judge, but you *can't* act like he's done nothing!
Powerpoint? You just read enough to get your soundbites don't you?
Most Insane != asshole drivers

The humidity is "enjoyable" though.
At least it's not the South...

I just increase my following distance even more.
I think if everyone slowed down for tailgaters, eventually no one would tailgate.
Being stopped but coasting off the side of the highway is less risky then tailgating at a 0.01 second following distance.

You mean like giving people free frisbees or Kleenexes or Legos?
Who cares if it is a work computer with file vault turned on encrypting everything and it has daily time machine backups?
I'm not going to decrypt anything for people. They can have the whole thing.

Not really. You can run lots of things that don't scale up by scaling out.
You end up paying for all of the extra rackspace, hardware, power (or heat).
Just because you can solve a problem by buying more hardware and spreading out doesn't mean there isn't a better way to do it.

I notice you didn't mention sunray which keeps your session going.
Spend the same amount of money that you give MS for AD on a vendor supported non-AD technology and get back to me.
