releas it as closed-source software, they'll pirate it to first place! Mod me down, but giving it a price tag will increase it's desirability in the Chinese culture.
To be fair, a lot of people aren't too pleased with the proposed JavaScript "improvements" (yeah, I'm not a fan of them). The interesting thing is, MS made a bunch of changes for JScript.Net and the proposed JavaScript 2 is closer to JScript.Net than JavaScript 1.x
I tried foxit (after reading about it on slashdot) but went back to acrobat reader after a week or so. It's lightweight, but it couldn't open some pdfs and there seemed to be a lot of rough edges. Just my opinion.
I prefer using dvipdfm to convert dvi to pdf. Works with TeX, LaTeX, or if you've only got the DVI file. dvips output generally looks like ass (which is a step up from most word processors).
I find that a little hard to believe. First of all, because I gave my boyfriend oral sex for the first time today. We're not worried about STD's we've never been with anyone else and have both been tested. We didn't use protection and he cummed in my mouth because we both wanted him to. Is there anything he can do in his diet to make it...taste...better?
revenue is not profit. 70-80% of iTMS revenue goes to the RIAA. Throw in cc fees, bandwidth, licensing the 1-click patent, employees, and other expenses and the profit drops to the point that they wouldn't be doing it if not for the iPod.
Apple's sells iPods (and everything else) direct to the consumer and enforces their "suggested" pricing on 3rd party retailers. Typically, the wholesale cost is 60% of retail. I've heard Apple's wholesale pricing is significantly closer to retail pricing. So, Apple would have a larger profit margin than MS (they rely on 3rd party reatailers for all sales, no?). MS may have heavily discounted zunes to retailers in an effort to get them in the store -- and they've certainly thrown money around for fullpage displays in best buy's ads.
You can buy iPods (and iPod accessories) almost everywhere. This week's grocery store flyer is advertising an iPod-dockable radio. Wal*Mart has tv ads that only mention the iPod. (That made me wonder if they've jumped the shark.)
Apple ekes out a small profit on the iTMS, but the RIAA gobbles up most of the sale price. Most other (playsforsure based) online music stores have discovered that there's no profit to be made.
Nice looking? Maybe if years of chronic masturbation have left you blind. TeX/LaTeX produce nice looking output. Browser rendering looks like ass. Not heidi klum ass, but cowboy neal ass. Safari is an exception due to Apple's improved font rendering, but it still pales in comparison to proper (TeX, pagemaker, etc) output.
Browsing around, it looks like you can only access 15% of the books. Looking through the computer section (naturally:), most of the books are long out of print (Eg: A Primer Of Algol 60 Programming by E. W. DIJKSTRA, 6502 Machine Code For Beginners, etc). Those books are still copyrighted, the publisher won't sell you a copy, yet they want to deny everyone access to it.
S. 1257, the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 2007, came 3 senate votes short of unconstitutionally granting DC full representation in the house. I'm glad to know anonymous cowards understand the Constitution better than cosponsors Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, or Barack Obama.
Let's say I write a closed source linux app. The GNU readline library provides nice user input editing, but is GPL licensed. There are also FREE (as in virus-free) MIT/BSD licensed alternatives (such as tecla or libedit). I, the enterprising programming, can use dlopen/dlsym to runtime-link whichever one is already installed (using my own version if none are available). Does it violate the (spirit of) the GPL if the user has gnu readline installed? Does it violate the (spirit of) the GPL if the user doesn't have gnu readline installed? The distributable binary doesn't contain *any* GPL code. Stallman's position on dynamic linking is out of touch.
Prior to PHP 5 and the PDO (which does work like that), native sql access was done through calls like mysql_query, pg_query, etc. Most databases had functions to prepare a statement with place holders; MySQL didn't. (MySQL 5 does and anyhow PDO fakes it for databases that don't have native support).
You don't get it. And the PHP developers didn't either.
Online tutorials (especially PHP ones!) tend to promote bad practices such as xss vulnerabilities and sql injection. Unfortunately, plenty of PHP books do as well.
Stallman wants you to believe that. Think about it for a minute. The GPL is about distribution. What if you dynamically link (or dlopen) your closed-source app to a GPL library? When you distribute the binary, you are not distributing GPL library code.

Did you read the part about these drives dropping the USB connection when they go into power savings mode? That's a little bit different.

postgresql views are updatable (you need to create a rule to remap the columns, though).

wrong...

Acrobat reader implements their own antialiasing which is much closer to Apple/Safari's than Win32.

Next time, oral before anal.
you can (ab)use google code hosting to serve up any type of file.

break it? You mean fix buffer overflows and other vulnerabilities? That would be a good thing.
