That is not correct. If the symbol is marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL then only GPL-licenced modules can use that symbol (i.e. call the API).
They are already unable to include the code in their proprietary driver, as the code is released under the GPL which already prohibits them copying the code into a non-GPL-compatible codebase.
"Over the next 10 years, demand is expected to decline by about 0.5 percent a year"
Seems pretty unequivocal to me.
Even if it did say growth was to decline by 0.5 percentage points a year for the next decade, with a starting point of 2% you go negative pretty quick.
No, he could never have a point in a million years of launching whole chunks of the Earth into space.
We're talking about mass not weight and the size of the Earth's gravitational field is utterly irrelevant.
No. Cases end in settlements for an amount that both parties agree to. If you sue for $100 trillion that does not mean any settlement will be for $10 trillion. If the company you are suing thinks your case is entirely frivolous they might not settle at all. Or they might agree to settle for 75%, or 1%, or whatever they think is reasonable.
On the other hand the company is not going to settle for MORE than you sue for, aiming higher is obviously a good idea. But I think the courts have a dim view of people grossly inflating their claims for no reason.
You're missing the point. If you increase the compression ratio and get pre-ignition/detonation/pinking, the fuel is igniting before the spark plug/LI triggers it - whether that's advanced or not.
You should care because you're moving some of the inefficiency from inside your home (billable) to the transmission lines (not billable).
Sorry, that's why the utility companies care. You probably shouldn't -- at least until the utility companies decide to start charging residential customers for poor power factors...
Quite frankly, being poor sucks so much that rich people ought to simply put them out of their misery? Right? I mean, they're poor: they have nothing to lose, right?
No, the poor people need to work to keep the rich people rich.
i've done event-driven vehicle simulators; i've clean-room network-reverse-engineered MSRPC and NT domains protocols; i've ported freedce to win32; i've added glib bindings to webkit and on top of that, ported a port of GWT to python even _more_ into python by adding DOM manipulation to pywebkitgtk.
in amongst all that mindless drivel of alphabet soup you should be getting a pretty clear picture that i'm not a stranger to complexity.
i've learned that if someone says "surely it doesn't have to be as complicated as all that", it's time to run like stink as fast as possible, out of the conversation and the room, and never look back.

CDs and DVDs will last for a long time, it's the (re-)writable versions that degrade (relatively) rapidly.
The non -ROM versions aren't physically stamped, they use dyes that change phase when exposed to lasers. They are very susceptible to damage from UV light (i.e. sunlight), and I believe will deteriorate over time even if stored in a dark room.

I'm voting for (a) with a helping of very-not-(c), given:

No, they would have called this API from their proprietary binary blob drivers, not copied or modified the code implementing it.
Uh, reply is meant for the previous parent.... *sigh*

But now we have data!
If you agree to them sending you prints, they are not unsolicited.
Um, they didn't work for him from 1990 to 1991. One was hired in 1990, the other in 1991. They still worked for him beyond 2006: http://www.finextra.com/news/fullstory.aspx?newsitemid=21200
Has the Nobel Peace Prize jumped the shark along with everything else?

This seems ridiculous. My banks have the domain names "halifax-online.co.uk" and "egg.com"...

Trolling on slashdot is a sign of courage now?

> And what about when it breaks? There goes a large fraction of a country's electrical power.
That applies to any power source you can think of. The usual solution is to have some spare capacity to cope with such situations.
Say 500,000,000 atoms on your fingernail
You're only off by a factor of 10^15 or so...
Except if you'd even bothered to read the summary, you'd notice he did consider ExFAT. Whoops.
The underrated mod is underrated.
Hmm, the test suite must be incomplete then, because I've certainly found sites that don't work (formula1.com Live Timing applet being the main one).
