Maybe some of these third world countries should try doing something other than breeding more poor, diseased, hungry children. The US managed to avoid that route after all. So have plenty of other countries. Yeah, don't worry, that's being looked into right now. Looking at the US it seems it should involve moving into a land you don't own, kill most of the people who live there and bringing in cheap, disposable even, labour from somewhere you can catch^H^H^H^H^Hhire sla^H^H^H employees.
Take a look at your at the worlds history, no civilisation ever became big without resorting to oppression, not a single one ever. The US is just another fine example of how that works.
Anyone buying one should do so for some child somewhere. It looks like it's not going to be available in Europe, but i've got a kid here who would have more fun with this then a PS3, and frankly, I'd rather give hime a XO laptop too.
The thing is aimed at children from the very beginning, when there is no child to use it it will indeed end up in the closet somewhere. It's just another useless toy for most geeks, but it's supposed to be usefull and fun for any child anywhere.
Frankly, I doubt that would be enough reason to fire him this public, not at that level. He really pissed off someone, so unless the last name of this subordinate was Balmer I fairly sure it involves money somewhere.
I'd say Apple is noticeably absent in the coalition. This whole thing should be about hardware and software, not about providers. Personally, it think it is weird there are providers in there. When they have a serious interest in which hard or software a choose to use I will avoid that platform because it will be 'optimized' towards being able to send me bigger phone bills. I'll go with OpenMoko or Qtopia for now, I'm not that sure about how open this will really be. Besides, the first hardware is expected in 'the second half' of 2008, and I guess we all have a fairly good idea of what 'second half' means. It will be there around Christmas, e.g. it will take another year before you can actually buy a Android phone.
there was blood So? I'm pretty certain you could find traces of my blood in both my house and my car. I still like to think I'm alive. He might have killed her, he may not. Neither is proven at this point, at least not throught the information that's available to the public.
His original email to me immediately suggested that I pay him a "licensing fee" for my domain name because it was similar to his. I'd hang on to that email if I where you. To me this pretty much proves he is not at all scared about losing bussiness or trademark confusing as a result of you domain name.
Is it really that hard to understand or are just trying to silence your own conscience here. Children who are growing up need care and attention, preferably from their parents. Now, I don't give a shit if that is mom or dad or both of them half the time, but people are responsible for their children and should look after them. You just can't walk away from that with lame excuses about needing to get out of the house (go to the playground and the zoo, it's fun) and you can't compensate not being there by buying a playstation. And most of the time you don't need the extra income as well when you stop paying for daycare and stop buying playstations.
Being homeless is very very dangerous. Well, actually driving a car may well prove to be far more dangerous then living in one. And sleeping in a home containing a very visible expensive TV set may well be far more dangerous than being homeless.
I know I could survive pretty fine on my own in a car, certainly when I still have a bank account and the ability to eat in a restaurant every day. That pretty much makes it trivial to do. And if that is what it takes to see your kids sometimes, I might just do the same thing.
And appart from all that, even if you are totally right, doing strange and even dangerous things doesn't make you a murderer. That isn't to say I somehow think he didn't do it. It don't know, and so far I've seen nothing which comes close to proving he did. He's innocent until proven otherwise.
...install a proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP... I played that 'blocking' game with a sysadmin once, just for the fun of it. I still have my ssh server running on port 443 as well because of that. Are you actually checking the contents of these HTTPS connections, because if I were one of your employees I'd still be doing anything I want with your internet connection.
That, and I'd be looking for another job if the company would insist on not trusting me with an computer and an internet connection.
That Soviet union, knowing their desire for showing off their power, choose to do this, is pretty good. In Soviet Russia you are known for your desire to show off your powers.
Yes, it is ontopic. The image we have of the USSR in that respect is pretty much the same as the image the people overthere have of the USA. Think about that for a while before making statements like this one.
And here I was, thinking it's time to raise the 120km/h (~75miles) speedlimit in places where this is safe (and the average speed is ~140 anyway). I feel for you.
Yes, the reason companies have to license work is because they're making money off of them That is just utter bullshit. Copyright does not go away if you are not making any money of it. A lot of the people uploading music and movies are not making money of it, but it still is copyright violation.
That's not to say that it may not be fair use in this case, but that not because of the lack of revenue.
It seems to me that the RIAA indeed wants to 'reform' copyright. It a direction which is, lets say, not really favored by the slashdot crowd, but you could call it a reform.
So Bezos could very well be a copyright reformer, but his reform might not be what you expect when you here the term 'copyright-reform'.
No, no, no, you don't get it do you? Yes I want the GPS receiver I you to 'prove' I wasn't speeding to be open source, but it's not like I want it's output to be validate or something. I just want to impress the judge with a nice print-out of one version of 'the source' and be able to actually use another version. That what open-source is about isn't it, being able to modify the software...
As said above, you can perfectly do that (within the limits of the law), if it's your code, you get to set the terms. However, such a scenario is not dual-licensing, it's creting a wholly new license (which happens to be based on two other licenses). That very different from dual-licensing where the recieving party get to choose between the licenses. It also is likely very to create a license which is incompatible with both the licenses it is based on.
The hypervisor O/S is almost entirely transparent... "No really officer, my door was almost entirely closed. I really don't understand how they got in."
And thats one of the reason why, as much as I totally *hate* to admit it, Theo is right about this.
On of the other reasons is the simple fact that running more code on your system means more potential bugs, allways. Or perhaps the stupid trivial fact that it doesn't really matter if the machine that is pwned is virtual or not, its not like those creditcard records suddenly become virtual when you start using Xen.
I *might* *maybe* *sometimes* help security a bit when you are using it to separate software which was allready running on the same machine, but I have yet to find the first real live scenario for that. After all, if it's allready running perfectly on the same machine, what would you gain from virtualization?
It does provide an interesting DOS scenario, trick a user into updating his driver so he cannot use his PC anymore. So now the advice to people with non functioning hardware in Vista is, don't update the drivers? Wonderfull...

55 miles per hour speedlimit on an interstate? Is that anywhere near normal in the US, or is this one of those cases of a really stupid speadlimit?

Well, if you never have, erm, 'any bussiness' in your wife, I can see why you need the porn.

You've got to wonder, is that a security measure or anti-competitive behaviour. "It's our user, only we get to read his email."
It does provide an interesting DOS scenario, trick a user into updating his driver so he cannot use his PC anymore. So now the advice to people with non functioning hardware in Vista is, don't update the drivers? Wonderfull...
Good reason to use open-source software. Or at least software from a company that doesn't treat it's customers as criminals by default.
But hey, it's your money, your PC, your loss.
I wouldn't be crying about it, but i'd definitely stick it on the back of my car. It's cool.
