If you're applying for your typical corporate IT department (read a MS shop), no one really gives a shit.
Agreed, but if you think this ends with their hiring practices you are probably in your early twenties. An IT shop that isn't excited about an applicant's FOSS experience will never be a positive work environment.
The figure you linked is of a hardware device (ipod touch/iphone) inside a dock that has an auxiliary screen. The nintendo DS is a single device with 2 screens. They are very different.
They're both agglomerations of older tech, surrounded in plastic, with identical functionality. One of them is very different because it comes in two parts?
If laws shut down businesses that were operating fine before, that's a bad thing for the economy.
Operating fine for who, exactly? You? DuPont? ADM? The people crying the loudest always seem to be the same people shitting where we eat.
I'm not entirely certain why you feel that profit should come at the expense of health and safety. Perhaps you'd like to qualify your corporate pole-smoking? (or at least, you know, move it to a smoking area)
It's not two-faced at all. One group is providing Facebook with some form of compensation, and the other is not.
Since money is more important to Americans than a crying eagle with 'Liberty' down one wing and 'Freedom' down the other, this shouldn't come as a gigantic shock.
You could debate the legitimacy, necessity, and legality of such operations all day, but in the end you always need a group of people willing/capable/enabled to take care of issues "behind the scenes" without political and legal interference.
"You can debate this but I'm right" isn't exactly a winning argument.
One almost gets the impression that Wikipedia is the new Microsoft;)
There's just a lot of people repeating the "LOL Wikipedia" line, so it's not surprising people pick it up seemingly randomly. It's easy to reinforce because there is a nugget of truth to it.
The AI code doesn't have to be run remotely. You could just have it spawn weapons, healthpacks and enemies in the correct places using an encrypted positioning system. Then the crackers would have to meticulously play through the game itemizing every single xyz position for every spawn.
Most of the city is run worse. We kind of like it that way, except when the insider dealing takes out a treasured park or restaurant.
The openness of the corruption in San Francisco is breathtaking. It's like you're in a noir movie. The mayors are all stock characters from central casting, the police department is on the take, the department of public transportation has a running scam going with the largest towing company, and there's a water scandal (google Raker Act) right out of Chinatown. All that's missing is a shifty little midget trying to slit your nose.
We're talking about fair use and the freedom of speech. Not the first amendment. Free speech does not begin and end at the first amendment, even though many people would like that to be the case.
The infuriating thing about the teabagger constitutionalists, to me, is that the very things they rail against the government for they happily take up the ass from other sources. You're either for freedom of speech or you're against it. There's no middle ground here. Unless, of course, you can't speak due to all the corporate cock in your mouth.
Only if you take legal and illegal to be logical opposites, but if you take 'legal' to mean explicitly allowed by law, and 'illegal' to mean explicitly forbidden, then there will be a wide and entertaining middle containing actions that are neither approved nor forbidden.
Yes, but why would you do that?
To me it sounds like you're trying to shoehorn an anti-government screed into this conversation, but just can't figure out the angle.
The question to ask yourself is - stationary in relation to what?
Wasn't there a famous quote to the effect that you could say the earth was the center of the universe, but it just makes calculations needlessly difficult?
Few of these little outsourcing companies are making serious money - there's simply too much competition in the market.
Little nit to pick with that... From my perspective it seems like the competent folks quickly reach carrying capacity and simply choose not to expand their operation. I don't know what you mean by "serious money", but having a steady roster of clients who are willing to pay a slight premium for your services doesn't look like a bad way to conduct business.
There may be a lot of competition, there certainly are tons of very intelligent people on the job market, but it seems like there aren't too many people who are both competent and professional.

Caveat mancipior.
Corporations do not pay taxes. The customers of the corporations pay the tax.
so by extension the employers of said customers are the ones really paying the taxes. But what about the employer's customers? Or their employers?
you see the logical problem w your statement?

You don't have a clue, you don't have a point, you keep getting modded into the bin... yet you're still yapping.
Please, reply to this with more pro-corporate ranting.
[...] as you seem to be more interested in splitting hairs over legal terminology than standing up for what is right.
You do realize you've just defined the rule of law, right?
Idiot.

One of the things I really enjoyed about the Obama election is that it brought the crazies and the racists out in the open.
