If you'd read even the first paragraph of the linked article, you'd know that it is in fact cartridge-based, but you can remove the disc from the cartridge and put it in a DVD player. Unfortunately, not all DVD players support DVD-RAM, but the article says most do.
Actually, most modern microwaves are 900-1500 watts, all of which is directed toward the contents of the oven. Compare with your average digital phone, which transmits with 1-2 watts, dispersed in all directions.
Considering their press release seems to think they were screwed out of shares of "Linux", I wouldn't exactly call these people clueful.
Most likely it is a law firm that starts class action suits for stocks that don't go up. Class actions are a bonanza for the prosecuting firm, even if the charges are baseless. They almost always settle.
Except that what we have here isn't base-3, but base-8; Each digit stores one of eight values. You're confusing the number of bits per spot with the number of values per spot.
Yup, my high school sent three teams to botball. We didn't do two well the first year; our two teams tied for last place.:\ But the second year, we got to go to Orlando where we took first place in the national competition. That was really fun.
If anyone is interested in the source code we used on our robot, it's under GPL -- just let me know and I'll send you a copy.
It's a great contest. Teams can compete on only $2000 sponsorship, and travel is paid for to go to the nationals if you suceed at the regionals.
Though I didn't realize they had switched to mindstorms. When I did it they were using Fred Martin's Handy Board and Interactive C.
Yes, it was a Xerox printer. And incidentally, I'm the owner of a new xerox printer that dosen't work well with Linux either. Some people just don't learn.
I love these advertisements they send out for "540 hours free", when you have to use them all in the first month, and your average month only has about 700 hours in it.
I suppose if you were really addicted to the stuff, you could use AOL full time, all day and night, and manage to eek out 540 hours. But I have a hard time envisioning that, especially given how hard it is to stay connected to AOL for any extended period of time.
The licensing is... BSD-style, which qualifies... not as free software... as defined by [the] FSF.
Sorry, but this is flat out wrong. The old BSD license with the advertising clause did not qualify as free software, because it required you to mention all the contributors to your software in any advertising you did. Image if all the software in RedHat were covered by such a clause - then redhat would have to purchase a full page any time they wanted to advertise, just for all the credits!
I've gotta agree. Card actually wrote about the history behind the books -- Ender's Game started as a short story, and he was pressured into turning it into a full-length novel by his publisher. The same is true of the sequels; each was pressured by his publisher.
I think that by Children of the Mind, he had just plain run out of ideas. Ender's game was great, Speaker of the Dead was good, but the rest just didn't come up to spec.
What you have is a derivative work. The rules on a deritive work, are such that you own the copyright but cannot distribute it without permission of the author. It is as though it were copyrighted by both of you; Permission from both you and the original author is required for distribution.
I offered to do some grading for my university (University of California, Santa Cruz) at an astronimically low rate, just out of public duty.
But then they wanted me to sign over any patents or copyrights I might gain while employed by the University. Now, given the position this was for, this is flat-out ridiculous. I refused to sign.
Since when is DUI a minor crime? Driving under the influence kills hundreds of thousands every year, and is the leading cause of death among teenagers.
On the contrary, the human brain has a terrible uptime. It needs to go to maintainance mode daily. Some units can postpone this maintainance period, but only for a relatively short time and only with reduced performance.

Wait, does that mean I can sue the DVDCCA for selling devices that circumvent the protection on my copyrighted works? :o

No it's not. Botball is run by KIPR, which is totally independent. It's a completely different competition.

Except, if you think about it, the Decepticons never do any real sneaky deception. They just blow stuff up.

I find the non-US versions of AOL rather amusing - For example, you have America On Line Europe. Huh?
Shoeboy never posts anonymously, that's just his sig.

The new BSD license is Free Software in the FSF sense; You can see an FSF classification of software, under which the BSD license is classified as Non-Copylefted Free Software. Also see A comprehensive list of software licenses and how they are classified
This is not the first time OpenBSD boxers have been suggested, but it seems there are no companies that will silkscreen boxers.
Not really. Actually, it dosen't have anything at all to do with .NET.
Reciting a poem or singing a song in public is considered public performance, which is protected by copyright.
So the answer is no, you may not, and yes, it is infringement.

Erhm, when was the last time you saw the 10 o'clock news print a retraction? I've never seen TV media retract anything, ever.
No.
Microsoft fails. Pretty severe failures, at that.
All the others work, though.
Sortof, except that we do not have natural selection; we have artificial selection - Linus.
