OK, quick side step...on seeing your sig the question I have is: Given that we get DRM-free music, or rather music free of DRM, in what format should we be asking 'the man' to release it in?
You get to look at it for quite a long time before you actually start moving the pieces around.
From the official rules, you get 15 seconds to pre-inspect the scrammbled cube (for regular 3x3 cube, two handed solves).
Now excactly 'quite a long time' really...
From the Yahoo blurb... "Microsoft technology has transformed business practices and his company has had a profound impact on the British economy."
Yes indeed. The number of people employed to keep the computers running his companies products has had a great (positive) impact on the British economy.
On the other hand, it's also had a great impact (negatively) on the British economy as companies struggle day-to-day to get things done running his companies products...
Simple to understand; if you use it for free, you're expected to release your source code (i.e. the 'reciprocal' part of RPL). If you pay to use it, you don't have to release your source code.
Additional cash prizes went to the other top 50 finalists, who are working or studying in the United States and in 16 other countries, from Scandinavia to central Europe to Hong Kong, Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
I know we have the EC, but 'central Europe' is now a country? When did we get downgraded from a continent?
I must have missed that one while I was reading the sports pages...:o)
But does it really matter, as long as *one* of them has the Americans crapping in their pants again thinking it's real, just like the radio series (with Orson Wells) did way-back-when...
Actually, they kind of do. If you don't want to void your warranty, you can only install Ford 'approved' parts. Same goes for most of the other car companies too.
It's basically to stop Ford (or whoever ends up paying out on the service work) being liable for fixing the part or related parts when you make mods.
I think it does indeed work for the record compaines.
Adding DRM to tracks and/or CD's means that there is less chance for the public to make their own choice on whether the music is 'bad' (in their opinion), since the public can't go off and download it (other songs off of the album) to hear it. Thus, more people will make more bad judgment calls on buying a whole album in ataking a chance in hoping that the song they heard on the radio is not the one and only good song.
Hence, more ablums are sold on bad judgement calls, record compaines get more money. QED.
I've searched and searched, but I can't seem to find the 'Slashdot Do Not Show Me Crap Articles On The Home Page' register page, to add my self to the list...
Perhaps it's an obvious clue that the job being offered is about to be taken by someone wielding a H1-B visa - it wasn't posted in some obscure journal too was it ?

In the corporate world, is it more expensive than paying a developer to design, code, test, and maintain a home-grown version?
Once you've payed a $30 dollar/hour developer for 10 days work, you've forked out ~ $2,500...

True, but only if you don't purchase a license.
Simple to understand; if you use it for free, you're expected to release your source code (i.e. the 'reciprocal' part of RPL). If you pay to use it, you don't have to release your source code.

There are many, and as others have rightly posted finding them on Google is easier than posting to /.
