While Stallman and Linus shared the same license, Stallman insisted on the copyrights being assigned to the FSF. One could argue that Linux wouldn't have really thrived the way it did if Linus had had the same attitude. (Although Stallman did have good reasons for his stance).
The trouble is, when the courts smack down the media companies, the government steps in with new legislation, since they are in the back pocket of the media companies. Stephen Conroy, Labor's communication minister has already signalled that when iiNet loses, he's going to do just that.
Will this effect be powerful enough to ever cause it to stop, turn around and come home? And when it does so, how much strife will it cause to Spock and Kirk?
Let's face it... the particle physicists make all this stuff up. Somehow they figured out how to use particle colliders to synthesise crack cocaine, and ever since then the stuff they've been coming out with has been ever more fantastical.
Took a glance at the code. Boy am I glad the days of assembler are over. Probably was fun to hand craft this super fast code, but I'd be surprised if anyone can be bothered figuring it out now.
How could these "civilized men" have recognised "intellectual property", when there was no such thing in existence for them to recognise? There was ideas, sure, but it wasn't "property" till they made it so.
I don't know where you live and what the law is there, but I think this is a fable that stores would like you to think. Imagine if you had to research what little manufacturer in western China made the widget you bought, and you had to contact them to get your widget fixed. Nope, that's not what the law says.
Yeah, relative speaking they're "good". Relative to Bill Gates and his mob, and relative to a lot of other stuff that goes on in corporate America. Even so, they play pretty hard ball, and don't think twice about rolling over their developer community if it suits their supposedly higher purpose. And they're playing pretty hard ball in squashing the incumbents in books, music, magazines, newspapers, film, apps, etc etc. I guess some of those guys deserve to be squashed, but still its going a bit far saying Apple are pure good guys.
Boy, this has been a long time in the making. It seems to me they were talking about this 10 years ago.
The problem with all the scheme implementations is none of them are up to the task of real world work. You want good C function call integration? Get one variant of scheme. You want to do X windows guis? Get a different one. You want nice UNIX system call interface? Different one again. You want to do cross platform gui work? Good luck with that. Scheme could have gone quite a long way if all their forces got together and pooled their (considerable) talent and made one scheme to rule them all, just like there is one Java to rule them all.
I don't get how the government just shut them down with no warning. I mean if Ford or GM committed some crime, they would go on. They'd get a chance to defend themselves, and even if found guilty, they'd just have to modify their behavior if necessary, and they'd just keep going. How did megaupload just get shutdown instantly, no warning, no chance to defend itself, no chance to modify behavior?
Sometimes common electronics lying around are better than some custom job. I mean, why do airlines use $500 ipads for flight maps to control a $500 million dollar aircraft? And why would you need long battery life? Flight only lasted a few seconds.
Yeah, but haven't you noticed its better when someone takes a dump on your ipad compared to your keyboard? Much easier to clean up in my experience.

Its all driven off off flash memory prices. Apple is shipping so much stuff they practically determine how fast prices can fall, and with volumes ramping so much, they probably can't fall as quickly as they once did. Maybe, if you're real lucky, you'll get 128GB next year. I wouldn't count on it though.
So I wonder if they have factored into their Higgs Boson experiments the possibility that they don't exist and neither does the CERN collider. I'll bet they haven't! Junk scientists!

Alpha and Beta radiation has mass. They are particles.

Err... is it the slowing of the craft, or the accelerating? Because the analysis refers to the "acceleration" of the spacecraft.

X11 hardly provides a gui. It just provides core drawing routines.
Yeah, but why would I bother? There are a ton of decent phones supporting Android. Why beat myself trying to force feed Nokia with Android?

Err... the iPhone's "slow ass" computer?
That may not happen if they've jailbreaked and are hacking it from internally.
The Greens are a mixed bag. Half the time they do a great job of calling Bullshit. Half the time they are the purveyors of the bullshit.

Someone should invent porn that appeals to screen scrapers, then we'd REALLY see web traffic go wild!
So... Linux will "dominate" not because it gains users, but because everyone else loses them? Not exactly living the dream there.

Yeah, but Apple does it for $100 per year on IOS.

Right, so go easy on that sugar!
