Actually, I meant a company such as Google in that Google's purpose revolves around free speech. Google needs to be able to freely link to anything on the Internet. Therefore, Google should vacate offices in any country that doesn't support this right.
The United States had thus far supported Google's rights in this arena. If DMCA isn't struck down, or gets worse, then Google should look for another home country -- and so should I.
So, when is Google pulling its offices out of Germany in order to avoid this lawsuit? A company such as Google should not operate in a country where free speech is not lawful.
What Telecom fails to recognise is that these people are pushing the envelope of what the Internet can do, and will drive the technology economy in years to come.
What Telecom fails to recognise is that peer-to-peer applications are probably selling the vast majority of their subscribers on broadband. Initially online gaming drove broadband adoption, however once that niche is filled you need something more mainstream to drive sells, and that is peer-to-peer.
Yes, most every home would have a personal computer without Microsoft. You're forgetting the massive proliferation of personal computers started with Apple and was helped by the likes of Commodore. When I was growing up most of the kids in my neighborhood had a Commodore 64 at home.
Yes, game developers would develop for 25% of the market, because 25% of an extremely large market is still a very large market. Besides, companies could write their games to standards like id Software does that would enable them to easily port the software between platforms. Kind of like how Wolfenstein is currently available for Mac and Linux in addition to Windows.
I just bought a Weber grill on Amazon. I noticed that I could have also bought the grill used via the button that Amazon provides right next to the button to buy it from Amazon.
I wonder if the Grillmakers Guild is going to go after Amazon for allowing rascals such as myself to buy used grills on Amazon instead of purchasing them new.
Yep, I can remove iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, and even Internet Explorer and still get a fully functioning OS. It's a good thing about using a real OS with what I understand to be an excellent API.
Yes, I really did drag IE to my trash can. I use OmniWeb the majority of the time, and Mozilla for sites I need to use that don't work well with OmniWeb.
You make a rather arrogant statement that having more technological gadgetry automatically makes you a better person somehow. You assume that being wired is the logical progression of evolution. This is not neccessarily desirable by those of us that lead far simpler lives.
I'm a very gadget oriented guy. I bought DVD when it was first available on the east coast, and I actually own an HDTV set with an HDTV tuner. However, I'm not about to say that because I have these things, or because I can IM a relative that lives hours away on my computer from my backyard that I am inherently better than someone living on an island, forging their own sustenance, and talking to their relative that lives right next to them.
Why do you think technology is the logical progression? Maybe we were supposed to stay in our caves, huts, whatever and develop extrasensory perceptions and communication...
Globalism's whole premise is based upon the presumption that so-called third world countries want to join us in becoming increasingly technologized.
Secondly, it drives large corporatists crazy with dreams of raizing new nations of consumers -- ready to purchase their wares without sophistication or restraint.
That'd be great for the last few minutes of my CTF game where I have the flag and I'm running back to base to win the game only to have my ping jump to 500+.
The City of Charlotte invited competition for Time Warner to town. I don't know what the incentives were, but they were working on bringing some competition to our city. I would have switched to Carolina Cable had they ever offered service in my area.
Oh, and don't think I'm a City of Charlotte cheerleader. This is one of their few non-braindead ideas.
Well, AOL/Time Warner did mention they want more than $200 of their customer's monthly pockets in combined fees. Maybe this is just the start of their plan.
If I start getting slapped with extra usage fees for playing Wolfenstein every now and then and downloading a lot of movie trailers then I'll definately be discontinuing my service.
It doesn't matter what language you're hacking -- be it Java, Objective-C, C++, or even Basic -- as long as you're doing it on a Mac, you'll attract chicks.
Is there a HTML/CSS rendering engine that could be used as a document formatter for documents written for HTML with pagination in mind (it doesn't have to be a browser, it just needs to be able to open files from my filesystem and render them)?
I've long ago decided that I spend more time fighting with MS Word over formatting than I do getting work done, so I use HTML for most of my documents, but I would like to be able to define pages for the document.

For what it is worth, I bought the new grill.
This was announced early in the morning on Friday. It's just now posted on Slashdot at 1:00 PM EST?
Whatever happened to 'release often, release early?'
Apple's Mail application that comes with Mac OS X will fake a bounced message for you since it works with IMAP servers.

Dude, you've GOT to go to Burger King to see the QuickTime movies about behind the scenes on Fellowship of the Ring!

Hell, VB.Net doesn't have a compiled form. Implement it in VB.Net (possible?) and then release that on the world.
Why choose between their music and their hardware? Don't buy both!
Dammit, I guess I better buy my iMac before Faraday cages are outlawed!
I think it's called "bitchslap".

Sample code? Please!

Do I get the theatrical release and hope it fits on one dual-layer DVD or get the extended release and have to swap discs halfway through?
