that link is in the story itself, sorry for the redundant comment. But if they were aware of that previous story I can't see why they posted this one. There isn't much new content in this one.
The intent is good but it can be very dangerous for the indigenous fauna to import new species. Some species of platypus will probably disappear because of cats. On the other hand it might be the only way to save some endangered african species. It's really hard to know what to do in this case.
The first step for terraforming mars is to increase the greenhouse effect. So if it's already occuring, it will help us go a little faster in the very slow process of terraforming mars. Just don't expect to breath the martian atmosphere in your lifetime;)
People who like these kind of social interactions always try to force others to do the same. It's like it's mandatory to have fun at these things. Make a xmas party for those who like this kind of stuff and let the others go home and play videogames or whatever they like to do. People are not all the same, so respect that.
I've never used it but I really like the release names:
"Cherry Blossoms Fall"
"Alethiometer" (cf. His Dark Materials trilogy;)
"Why Don't You Just Make Ten Louder"
The author has humor and I'm gonna give this newsreader a try.
well it seems I'm wrong according to another post a German court allowed an unofficial translation of Harry Potter to stay online. (and I almost put an Harry Potter example in my post to show how absurd it would be to allow the distribution without authorization of translations of copyrighted works.:)
I should have added that I'm no lawyer to my post. No I don't know german law. The only copyright law I've actualy read is the Swiss law.
But I'd be very surprised if it was legal in Germany to distribute the translation of a copyrighted text. If that was the case, someone could translate a copyrighted novel and distribute it for free. I really don't think that any european country would still allow that.
would have been to first inform Mr. Fiebach that distributing a translation was illegal and only then , if he didn't remove the files, send an official cease and desist with the associated lawyer cost.
The texts in the game are copyrighted and obviously they cannot be redistributed even once translated. But I wish people would learn to solve their problems without going through lawyers. *sigh*
2 years ago, I set up a sourcesafe for use with the C++ development in our company (3 coders).
It was fine until the day a network adapter in one of the developers' PCs had some problems. After some error messages while checking in some work, it resulted in a completely corrupt sourcesafe database. It was unusable and we had to restore it from backup.
That's the problem with SourceSafe, it's not a true client/server system but rather each client can access the shared SS files and make modifications in them. This lack of security checking on the server is bound to cause problems especially if the number of people accessing the SS increase.
Use Windows instead of Unix. Then you can blame all your failures on Microsoft like everyone else does.
You didn't check that the backup procedure was actualy running and now it's too late? It's Windows fault. You haven't patched it in months and it's infected by a Code Red derivative? It's Windows fault. Your server isn't working as fast as it should and keeps crashing? It's Windows fault. (might be true this time)
Blame it all on Windows and you'll feel much better. Ignorance is bliss:)
The database-like features of attributes/index of the BeOS filesystem could be an interesting solution to the problem of the PATH variable.
BeOS keeps a record of all executables files on the disk and is able to find which one to use to open a specific file type. You don't have to register it with the system or anything, if it's on the disk it will be found. That makes it easy to install BeOS applications in their own directories. However, BeOS doesn't use this system to replace the PATH variable in the shell but one could imagine a system that does just that.

Here's the same story

I agree they've the right to do it, and that they should have the right. But just because you've the right to do something doesn't mean you should.
TuxRacer started as an open-source game and as such it was right to use Tux. But as a commercial game I feel like little Tux has been betrayed.
Remember what Tux stands for. It's Tux not Mario or Sonic. He's a free animal and I want it to stay this way. I won't buy this game.

These days it seems that in a courtroom a corporation has more rights than an individual. Scary.

I'm not willing to pay for that. If it was a Gameboy Advance game with improved graphics maybe but not for a GBC game.

Here's a very nice article about the future of OpenGL. It might be easier to read than the full OpenGL 2.0 white papers.
