Ok, first off, I don't want to hear about disruption or curating, or whatever fucking words the pack-minded journalists have a hard-on over.
Second... If you've used google's sites on your iPhone or Android, you know that they have very nice mobile websites. I tried using yahoo finance on my iPhone a couple days ago and they didn't bother giving custom layout for mobile devices. If I was head nigger in charge at yahoo, the first step would be optimizing all the web sites to work great on mobile devices. Step two would be beefing up and pushing the web APIs to attract developer mindshare.
Yep. So mad, in fact, he invented a time machine and went back to 2009 and asked the DOJ to fuck them over. Google would never suspect that their August 2011 fine was related to their future opposition of SOPA, which wasn't even introduced until two months later.
Revenge is a dish best served preemptively, it seems.
The distribution terms for Bison-generated parsers permit using the parsers in nonfree programs. Before Bison version 2.2, these extra permissions applied only when Bison was generating LALR(1) parsers in C. And before Bison version 1.24, Bison-generated parsers could be used only in programs that were free software.
The other GNU programming tools, such as the GNU C compiler, have never had such a requirement. They could always be used for nonfree software. The reason Bison was different was not due to a special policy decision; it resulted from applying the usual General Public License to all of the Bison source code.
The main output of the Bison utility—the Bison parser implementation file—contains a verbatim copy of a sizable piece of Bison, which is the code for the parser's implementation. (The actions from your grammar are inserted into this implementation at one point, but most of the rest of the implementation is not changed.) When we applied the GPL terms to the skeleton code for the parser's implementation, the effect was to restrict the use of Bison output to free software.
We didn't change the terms because of sympathy for people who want to make software proprietary. Software should be free. But we concluded that limiting Bison's use to free software was doing little to encourage people to make other software free. So we decided to make the practical conditions for using Bison match the practical conditions for using the other GNU tools.
This exception applies when Bison is generating code for a parser. You can tell whether the exception applies to a Bison output file by inspecting the file for text beginning with “As a special exception...”. The text spells out the exact terms of the exception.
iBooks Author (the application) takes your text and layout and generates an.ibook file consisting of ePub/html 5/extensions.
Bison (the FSF yacc replacement) takes a yacc/bison grammar file and generates source code. That source code contains FSF IP in the form of copyrighted source code. The FSF has a special exemption but otherwise, your generated grammars could only be distributed under the GPL.
Generated.ibooks files may contain copyright Apple IP, in which case it wouldn't just be a matter of the EULA.
Can anyone recommend a new slashdot-type site, hopefully one run by individuals (like slashdot used to be in the CmdrTaco and Hemos days), and dealing with tech, rather than social media froth and global warming bullshit?
hehe, reminds me of an old joke:
Q: Is CmdrTaco gay?
A: Hemos certainly is!
But seriously, I remember reading slashdot back in 99 or 98. Hell, I didn't realize until my first post that Anonymous Coward was the guest account and not a an incredibly stupid individual. I don't want to put on the rose-colored glasses, but I feel like slashdot has declined. Part of that is that linux is now more mainstream and mature so development on cool shit has stagnated (and don't forget endless September), but there's enough cool shit happening that we don't need "Is $x?" (where $x is retardedly stupid) stories or garbage like that.
I used alltheweb's (since bought up by yahoo and thrown away good use of money guys!) advanced search before discovering google's "exact search" and +modifiers (which have turned to shit recently). I'd switch back if it was still around.
Back in the day, yahoo chat was a great way to get laid on a Tuesday night without much work on your part (even easier if you didn't care if it was with a chick). They didn't seem to care when the 'bots took over, though.
Other than yahoo finance and an occasional flickr link, I wouldn't notice if they disappeared.
Woah, say what you will about the Palm Pre or Panasonic Plasma TV, but the Motorola Xoom is the 4th most popular non-iPad tablet with 1.55 impressions per 100 iPad impressions. If Motorola (I almost typed Notorola, lol) had a better ad campaign, they could probably hit Galaxy numbers (1.6). hell maybe even Playbook numbers (1.8).
I guess it was October or November of 2010 when the TSA started touching your junk and people started carding. Then... nothing. The TSA didn't back down (quite the opposite in fact), you're no safer, and horror stories of grandmothers being strip searched are just as frequent.
I ask because our very own timothy was touched in an inappropriate place. As was I during a recent flight. I opted out of the millimeter cancer machines (looks a little bit like a personal gas machine, doesn't it?) much to the annoyance of TSA officer #1 who insisted that it's not an X-Ray machine. For four reasons:
To thine own self, be true
It's a much more honest to everyone about what's happening
To register my displeasure
To encourage others to stand up for themselves
As for number 4, I haven't been through the "enhanced" security, well, ever, so it was disappointing to see everyone line up and do the perp stand. Thank you to the anonymous guy ahead of me who also opted out. You're an inspiration and a hero.
The second flight, I was the only person to opt out (that I saw) but not the only person who was molested.
I have a theory. It's not pro-microsoft shills or rogue google Kenya/India employees or whatever troll conspiracy shit you think it is.
It's actually Kevin Rose.
The digg guy.
They fucked the pooch on their last redesign. So now they're trying to turn slashdot into a cesspool to bring back eyeballs. They also used their elite hacking skills to update the slash codebase with all the gay facebook/twitter/google+ buttons.

if you think fox news is bad, try cnn. Last time I watched, I thought twitter had bought their own network to do nothing but read tweets.

Is this major enough?

Apple now has $96 billion in cash/equivalents.

Even crazier -- it was a fucking unanimous decision. Not one of them disagreed with the fundamentals.
Court doesn't matter when the government decides to shut down a web site.
Dropbox has a Public folder than anyone (with the URL) can access.
And if the Germans can do two things, it's scat porn.

Arabic, hebrew, and all the other languages that you've mentioned are supported.
Sure, and posting on slashdot makes you dumber by reducing your potential intelligence.
Everybody with an iPhone already found it.

What's your point?
