The manufacturers' lobbyists got California to carve out an exception for OEM equipment, so you would have to spend $3000 on the OEM NAV system if you wanted maps.
It's part of the Libertarian mindset because "do whatever you want as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others" is the libertarian mindset.
Suing someone is not infringing their rights. It's accusing them of infringing upon yours.
What liberty? MIT owns the network. They can do what they want with it, including setting rules and terms of access and use.
Property rights are the ultimate form of liberty. If it's my property, I can do what I want with it, and control who can access and use it and for what purpose.
Speaking as the owner of a decently-sized company, and a responsible adult, I can say with certainty that work is not supposed to be a frat party, and throwing lunchtime keggers for your employees does not make them more creative or more dedicated workers.
Yes, it's important to provide a comfortable working atmosphere for your employees, and to be flexible to the needs of your employees should they have life circumstances they need to deal with. But, a completely slack environment void of rules and expectations only leads to organizational chaos.
Back when I used to do "conventional" hiring, I interviewed a lot of "Steve Jobs" types - the arrogant, entitled, indignant type that was more concerned about the frat party and with there being no rules or structure than with the diligent exchange of productivity for compensation. More often than not these would be people who had high expectations of my company, but expected me to have low expectations of them. I was just to take what they were willing to give me and be happy about it.
Those kinds of people, the ones who are in it for "what can you do for me today?" are absolutely toxic to an organization in my experience. I'd much rather hire the altruistic "what can I do to help my teammates succeed?" type.
By not having to mail letters, package software in retail packaging and ship to a store or end user, travel to other office locations for meetings, and other spendy endeavors?
There is a reason that guilt must be proven rather than innocence. It is logically impossible to prove the absence of evidence, or the absence of an event, or the negative assertion of anything.
It is impossible for me to PROVE that I did not do something. It is impossible for me to PROVE that something _didn't_ happen.
The burden of proof is on "believers" to prove the existence of God, not for atheists to prove the absence of God.
So far, there is no proof that God exists - not one shred of evidence at all.
I was doing TCP multipath in 2004 using iptables to get more upstream out of my box at home. I had two 1.5/384 connections and could and up with 768k upstream. All it took was a clever iptables script that marked alternating packets - even and odd if you will - and mangled odd packets to go out one interface, and even packets for the other.
Obvioulsy, an actual TCP extension for this is going to be more elegant since it's more scalable and easy to deal with, but the idea is not new.

Only until it runs out of fuel.
That's not unlimited. Words mean things.
It's not like the FORTY-FIVE year old Ponce has a nuclear reactor on it.
The laser will only last as long as they can provide power to it, which I am sure is substantial.

Yeah, and the only reason we outspend China 2:1 on defense is because we do all of their R&D for them.

They're countersuing a single paten troll on the basis of a legal merit. How is that "going on a rampage" against patent trolls?
Hyperbole much, Slashdot?
I honestly don't know why I visit this site anymore. It must be the "train wreck" quality that you just can't get away from.
There's even more fraud in the L1 program than the H1B. All you need is a phony business card that says "Manager" on it.
This has got to be the dumbest fucking idea I have ever seen - and it's completely unsurprising where it is coming from.
Not just the 4th, but the 5th as well.

Wait, it's still April 1st.
Nevermind. Just a joke.

The moment you give government anonymity, it turns around and gives you tyranny, because it is no longer accountable.

Overall the Internet is a huge energy saver.

Just so yo know...
How the FUCK is a "nonbinding proposal" equal to a "mandate?"

Speak for yourself and your own generation there, skippy.

Indeed, starting with better ingredients usually results in better outcome after everything is cooked down.
There is a long discussion among very qualified individuals on this subject. You can read it here
