Apparently you've managed to miss the past 15 years of processor development. The 486 was the last processor to actually execute x86 instructions. Since then all intel x86 processors run an x86 virtual machine on a RISC CPU.
So, yes, both C++ and Fortran share the x86 VM. Also, C# shares the x86 VM because CLI bytecode is never executed, only x86 code. It just delays the compile to x86 til runtime.
Umm... allowing the police to finance their activities through the collection of "fines" sounds like a) the mafiaa b) the beginnings of a police state.
Maybe this resource could have a price applied to it and thus we could use an amount that made sense for us given the cost of the resource and the resources available to us. Perhaps, we could pay for this resource in a medium of common exchange.
In otherwords, because bandwidth like almost every other resources is scarce and has alternative uses we should use the market to allocate it efficiently.
Pricing it will avoid any sort of bandwidth "shortage".
Amen to that. Future Shop in Canada used to offer to beat a competitors price by 55% of the difference. What happend was a hard drive that was once the top of the line capacity (1.2GB) had sit on the shelf til it was middle of the line, yet Future Shop had not re-priced it. Thus I was able to buy a $300 hard drive (prices at over $600 in Future Shop) for around $100.
With out a contract anything in your mailbox addressed to you becomes the property of you.
So either the contract is valid in which case it is the owners property, or with out a contract it becomes the property of the recipient.
Because you can't levy an illegal activity with out a conviction they had to make personal copying of music legal.
The levy currently applies to recording media for audio. I believe it is something like 15 cents per tape , and 25 cents per "Audio CD". Normal blank CDs for "data" are not covered by this levy.
Umm... a corporation would get teh shakedown for copyright infringement much sooner than a private citizen. Corporations generally have lots of assets or lots of cash, or both. Generally this makes for an appealing legal target, when a tort has been committed. What corporations don't get nailed on has to do with externalities.
What makes the MS stack shine, is the developer tools. Try debugging through from the webserver to the webservices, debug the XSLT, down into the database and into the stored procedures in LAMP.
If you could do it it would take at least 5 different applications running on different machines. There is nothing like being able to watch a particular users request flow right through the whole system. Yeah it takes a few minutes to setup all the watch conditions on production hardware, but in DEV it is just beautiful.
Seriously, has anyone even looked at what happens if we let global warming take its course. We are talking about a 2 foot sea level rise vs. rolling back the clock to 1699.
Personally, I'll take a little warm weather and a little more ocean front property.
Not driving IS a TRILLION DOLLAR PLAN. People think the benefits of a car are simply free. Exactly what type of fucking vehicle do you think they deliver your groceries in moron?
If you want a cooler planet you don't drive and not use electricity, because I don't care and I like driving I'll keep driving my car.
The main problem with Global Warming is it's driven by the sun so there is fuck all we can do about it anyways.
There is a shared cost for having this data and not giving it away for free ensures that they will have money to buy the vaccine that came from their efforts to collect the samples. This is the right thing for 3rd world countries to do. Charge for the services they provide and compete in the marketplace rather than lining up for the soup kitchen.
Yeah, who would imagine that illegal immigrants had also committed other crimes. Illegal immigrants must be great upstanding "citizens" who only break the law whenever it suits them.
How is it racism? I didn't see him mention race anywhere, it can only be racism if you believe illegal immigrants belong to a particular race. The foundation of your accusation of racsim underlies your own racism.
Wow, you think that taxpayers are going to pay tax?
This is totally in line with do-no-evil. Once Google stops paying tax hopefully others will ask for it too until the state realizes not many people want the services they provide at the price they charge. Hence, less evil.
Apple has a monopoly on ITMS/iTunes/iPod just like Micrsoft has a monopoly on Zune and the apps and services that it works with. They don't have a monopoly on DRM, music playing, or music downloading. Most of their advantage in the service space comes from using their market share to get better prices (an economy of scale if you will). There is nothing wrong with using market share to gain competive advantage.
Sony already tried this it was called BetaMax.
If one prefers a standards based player one can buy a multitude of players that work with Real and their DRM system, or MS and their DRM system. Unfortunately they all pale in comparison to the Apple system and hence apple gains most of hte market share, as they should.
What if doing things that are altruistic are bad for the country?
Altruism usually fails to recognize the misallocation of resources it is doing because it is "good", and thus makes everyone worse off.
See Steel Tarrifs, Medicare, Welfare.
Protecting airplanes from missile attackes has a limited externality in the amount of damage caused by an airplane falling out of the sky. Everyone else involved, the airline, the airport, and passenger are all participants in the transaction.
Why not just let airlines install the devices as the market demands, a portion of the market will want protection and a portion will not. The added cost will allow consumers to decide whether the protection is "worth it".
He does cure cancer. Look up biotech. If biotech produces a service someone wants at the price offer for example "curing cancer" then Mr. Sachs will invest in biotech. Biotech will take this money and produce more "cures for cancer". When investing more capital no longer produces more "cures for cancer" Mr. Sachs will take his money and the profit he made helping to cure cancer and fund "Cold Fusion" which is not ready for production.
The irony is if your truck driver can allocate resources that effectively then he has misallocated his own time.
The amount of information required to properly allocate resources with out prices is so staggering that it the resources required to house it in one place outweight the duplicated resources required to distribute that information accross a variety of agents acting in self-interest. That is why communism failed.
Look up diseconomy of scale. This is why places like restaurants are a certain side, while you may think it might be more efficient to have restaurants 10x the normal size it is in fact not more efficient. Hence, a diseconomy of scale develops. This is why the larger a centrally planned economy is the more waste it produces.
This is why Warren Buffet only buys stock in industries he knows. He does not know other industries and thus cannot properly allocate resources in those industries.

There is no need to charge for CO2 emissions, the result of global warming is net positive. Technically, we should pay people to produce CO2.

It's not a tax, it is a levy.

It's already gone to court and in Canada P2P is legal for music.
The rest of the IP spectrum is still off limits.

What is the point of complaining about that once you've blanketed the country in CCCP... er.. CCTV?

For us we doubled the performance on our db by switching from RHEL4 to Solaris 10. The support for Solaris 10 is less than for RHEL4

You have no idea of the amount of regulation in India. It is much easier for India to move here than vice-versa.

That is a silent auction. "have everyone write down what they want to pay, turn it in" is the definition of a bid.
