In 2009, an al-quaida agent attempted (unsuccessfully) to assassinate a Saudi prince with an ass bomb. The shoe bomber and the crotch bomber were very successful -- not at blowing up a plane but at allowing the TSA to implement even dumber and more invasive security measures.
Not likely for linux, but not impossible with fewer contributors. Sourceforge was originally released as open source software. After VA Linux decided that was their only hope to make money, they asked all the outside contributors to sign over their copyrights. If they refused (or couldn't be found), their code was removed. VA Linux then had full copyright control and closed sourced it. Savannah continued as an open-source fork.
You should read John McCarthy's original lisp paper sometime. He used m(eta)-expressions -- eg, +[a, b] -- rather than s-expressions. S-expression evaluation was implemented first and now you're stuck with it.
Ok, fake honey is bad. But even legitimate Chinese honey is crap. Honey is honey, right? Bees fly around, collect nectar, then spit out honey. (Yeah, yeah, the types of flowers affects the taste. I'm getting to that.) But a lot of Chinese honey doesn't involve flowers at all -- the bees drink sugar water. For all I know, that happens in the US, too. As mentioned above, go to a farmer's market and buy some local honey.

GNU Texinfo 5.0 Released
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
how often do you run makeinfo? Probably never directly. And only indirectly if you're compiling and installing a GNU package from source (I mean, who else even uses it? )-- in which case configure checks and compilation times are the bottleneck, not makeinfo
For example, just about everyone and their dog (on the internet, no one can tell you're a werewolf) uses Facebook, and before it MySpace, Friendster, Digg, Reddit, etc. But do these services have a working business model?
Just think -- if it was open source, you could submit patches to make it more effective. They're basically fucking themselves over by keeping it closed source.
It was a talent acquisition of sorts. Let's say you're a VC capitalist. You throw money at a startup. Business plan? Worry about that when they get big. But they don't get big and they don't have any revenue. So you cut your losses and save your face by asking one of your successful VC companies to acquire-hire them.
When you've consumed your 40 miles...it's an engine that's under powered, it'll feel like a lawnmower engine powering a sedan...It'll feel anemic on the highway. It's problematic, neither fish nor fowl.
The macintosh memory manager was based on NewPtr(size) (ie, malloc) and NewHandle(size). Handles were pointets to pointers -- if not locked, the actual pointer could be compacted/relocated to another area of memory (or even purged, depending on the flags). NewHandle was Apple's recommendation since there was no virtual memory/virtual address space so memory fragmentation was a real problem.
Mac Pascal dialects implemented Objects not as pointers but as handles. But they tried to pretend they were still pointers which ended up causing other problems.
Under the guise of protecting jobs, the sugar lobby bribed congress and congress instituted a sugar import quota system. The result is sugar prices are twice what they are in Mexico or Canada. The result is also that candy manufacturing has now largely moved to Mexico and Canada. Net result: a loss of jobs. Good job.
Entirely true. Furthermore, MPEG-LA doesn't have exclusive rights to the patents -- you can track down all the individual patents and license them yourself. MPEG-LA is just a way to save time.
However, when you license from the MPEG-LA patent pool, you also agree to grant back any of your H.264 essential patents back to the pool at pool rates. Google signed that license agreement prior to buying Motorola, which puts Motorola's H.264 patents in the pool. (Google tried to claim otherwise.)
I ran a flash-block script for a while, then removed flash completely a year or two ago. Ok -- I'm not completely flash-free: if something depends on it (hulu and south park studios primarily), I use Chrome, which has a built-in flash. HTML 5 video is fine in Safari. (Firefox is more hit or miss). Occasionally, I'll hit a site with a flash video player or flash audio player, etc. 99% of the time, I don't care enough to waste 2 seconds running it in chrome, so nothing lost.

Huh? What does being bisexual have to do with it?
Microsoft was recently burglairzed (or burgled, if you will). iPads were stolen but not the surfaces.

Don't worry -- the /. story will probably be posted twice, too.

You're arguing the wrong question.

I believe the word you're looking for is "performance".

Well, since this is valve, it's probably a good thing they're limited to 32-bit/4 gigs of ram.
Do you have MPW (that's Macintosh Programmers' Workshop)? Install that and start compiling.

Seems to be a few mirrors on pirate bay, too.
Apple made the choice. Pascal was the standard development language for Lisa and MacOS.
A $100 million drop in TSLA's market cap has no effect on the money in their bank account.
