I dunno which developing countries they're talking about, but in India at least the school books are developed by the government and sold essentially at the cost of printing them. You could buy at least 200 school text books for $100.
Maybe it would make more sense for higher levels like college where you could buy a mere 10-50 (depending on whether its an Indian reprint of a foreign text book, or one by a local author) text books for $100.
They just want to make money and contribute back when it's nessisary and important. They want to use other people's code for free and not give back unless they feel like it
Like someone else pointed out, talking on the cellphone is not the same as talking to a fellow passenger because your fellow passenger is in the same environment as you. Next time your driving with someone, pay attention and you'll notice pauses in conversation when you're, say, passing or changing lanes or getting to an exit.
The problem with driving while moderately drunk, or while talking on the cellphone is not that you'll be waving across the road like crazy or jumping every red light, but the lower reaction times and mommentary loss of concentration. A person may appear to be driving normally right upto the point where they ignore a little bend in the road and plow into the sidewalk.
It would be difficult to prosecute such a person for reckless driving until it is too late.

Yeah, so you leave the option to remember credit card numbers enabled. I can't remember one single instance where I entered a 16-digit numeric field that wasn't a credit card number, and the simple effect of the false-positive is that I don't get autocompletion for that particular field. Its a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
The correct solution would be to have a "don't store" attribute available in HTML forms, or perhaps even a "type" attribute that could identify credit card numbers specifically (so that people could do what they want with them). As "correct" as that may be, good luck getting even a tiny fraction of websites to use it. Just look at the number of sites that still use <font> tags and such even though they've been deprecated for about 5 years or more now.
He means save infomation other than credit card information. That shouldn't be hard to achive without too many false positives because there aren't those many 16-digit numbers out there that people type in to forms
Its a joke, you idiot. Nero lets you burn an image (i.e. ISO image)... and that gets burnt on the data side. This image is a picture which gets "burnt" on the other side.
When you're in a foreign country, you're obliged to obey their rules. Accidentally violating some custom/rule and winding up in jail is one thing, but when you go to a country and violate their laws willfully and with premeditation there is no reason at all why the US should expend its diplomatic resources saving your sorry ass.

So the police should avoid trying to catch the rapist so that the hotel owner's profits are unaffected?
Yes they can if they cease doing business in France. Somehow I don't think its worth doing that to save 200K euros

Don't worry... they'll screw it up soon enough.

In this case he would most certainly be guilty
