It will But not for the reason you think. People who actually drink beer, and understand it will know that a cold beer is actually a bad for the taste. The colder the beer is, the less you will taste it. The idea that you should get beer super chilled (as opposed to just a bit cool in the fridge) is mostly propagated by the makers of such swill as Budd and Coors. They actively don't want you to taste their beer (just drink it), and hence try and convince everyone that super cold beer is wonderful.
Actually, if sales staff are based in the UK, then sales are being made in the UK, and profits are being made in the UK, so tax is being miss paid. That's the issue.
That would help defeat companies like Starbucks, but it would have no effect on google or amazon. They'd simply move the bank account that's paid into to ireland. Of course what would potentially work would be to put the tax on money paid by people in the UK, to the company, no matter where that money goes to.
Actually, the only practice apple changed significantly was that they started publishing environmental reports asserting all the things that were already happening. Greenpeace increased their score only because reports were published, despite the fact that nothing changed.
In any case, Apple would have to be well up there in any list of over-packagers.
Really? Their packaging is rarely larger than the item it encases by half an inch to an inch in each dimension. What makes you think they're high on the list of over packagers?
Indeed, Apple for example ranks poorly because they say nothing, about anything, ever. The same reason that Greenpeace scored them poorly for environmental friendliness –they'd published no reports saying "we will eliminate xyz chemical from our packaging by abc year", mostly because they'd already eliminated xyz chemical.
Actually, he's in the right. You should go back to school and ask for your money back. Doing something undocumented is a really good way to be doing something broken in 6 months when stuff gets updated, and now behaves in a different (also undocumented) way. Things not doing what the documentation says they should just increases the risk that this is going to happen – it suggests that the guys writing the API have no clue about maintaining compatibility between releases anyway
Interestingly, I suspect this comment may have more insight than it first seems I wonder if younger programmers see "I know cobol and ada [as well as modern stuff]" as "I only know cobol and ada". That is, the perception that they're not keeping up with modern techs is exactly because they know more techs, and are able to discuss alternative ways of doing things, rather than just doing stuff the [insert cool modern tech] way straight off the bat.
One could argue part of the reason Microsoft is floundering is they chose to be such ass-hats about signed/unsigned code and locking down boot loaders to begin with.
One could argue that, but one would be talking out of one's ass in doing so.
It's okay, they won't exist anyway. Every time you see a "$xyz (sillily cheep) abcs are coming" story on slashdot, the price shown is the price that some engineer has decided they might be able to get the BoM down to. The result is that even if they meet that BoM, they'll still charge 50% more to make a profit, and most of the time they don't meet the BoM, so it ends up being 100% more expensive.
A full-throttle acceleration from a stop light (when the way is clear and it's safe to do so) every now and then can really put a smile on my face.
And really put a downer on the day of the person who stepped into the road just before you did it, expecting you to act like a normal driver, who you didn't notice, because you were too busy concentrating on flooring it.
Plus, Jeff Bezos has a better claim to it amazon.com is a company. The amazon rainforest is not. The company has a much better claim to the.com than the not company. Maybe the amazon rainforest organisation should be going after.org.
He won't listen anyway. He made that statement because it was in his commercial interests to disallow other mapping companies/organisations from collecting detailed imagery, not because it's what he genuinely thought was right. No amount of open letters will make him change his mind.
What, you expect software that shares records between your doctors, your local hospital, and the specialist 3 cities over to have its own private network that in no way interacts with the internet? Not even a VPN over the top of it? It's own, completely separate, private, cabling and all, network? That would certainly explain the $10000 a license cost.
Actually section 5 of the defamation act states that "justification" is a defence against libel and slander, and that "it's true" absolutely is justification.
You do realise that Apple hasn't given CUPS and WebKit "to BSD"? And you do realise that both CUPS and WebKit (KHTML) are GPL licensed projects? Would Apple give anything back to the community if these two were BSD licensed? Maybe, you can't tell... they've done so with some (I'd like to point out gcd as an "offer back to" FreeBSD, which is very neat) but not others.
I'd suggest a quick look at clang, which is not only BSD licensed, but Apple's own project, would indicate that would indeed give changes to BSDed projects back.
I'm not. I'm just annoyed by posts like the one I responded to where people deliberately misinterpret and bash the GPL for no good reason.
No misinterpretation happened – both you and he interpreted it correctly, he just felt that a different freedom was more important than the one the GPL encodes, and pointed out that many other people feel the same way.
As an aside –I find it funny that the GPL guys are the ones taking offence here –after all, the article is the one with the aggressive stand point of "what can be done about" people using more permissive licenses than the GPL.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this –he's just trying to guarantee that the competitors can't manage to match street view, or beat their areal imagery. I'd bet heavily that he's most concerned about apple flying drones over cities to build up their 3D flyover data.

Actually, given the benchmarks, the GT3e should be about 20% faster than the A10 5800k's graphics chip.

Which probably Google isn't paying either. This is because most people buying services from Google are VAT registered businesses
Note – this means that google is paying it, they're just probably also claiming a proportion of it back when they purchase items from other companies.

"Explain himself" is british english for "to face a bollocking".

This says I should trust google with all my data hahahaha Seriously? What the fuck.

Right, and my point was that the article itself is aggressively pro GPL, so it's no real surprise that the response was aggressively anti GPL.
What kind of lawsuit are you referring to?
I'm not. I'm just annoyed by posts like the one I responded to where people deliberately misinterpret and bash the GPL for no good reason.
