Silicon Grail (now part of Apple) and Rhythm & Hues are the only listed studios involved in the development. And after the GIMP committee declined to incorporate the Film GIMP features, Silicon Grail stopped sponsering it. So Rhythm & Hues is the only continuing sponser.
I'm not denying the danger of dramatic overuse of antibiotics in the animal farming industry. It has the potential for bringing about a large number of resistant bacteria in the future, and it should be legislated away (not likely for at least two years).
I'm pointing out that the scientists involved feel they have found the specific cause of this specific instance of vancomycin-resistant staph. And it isn't animal farming. It was heroin/antibiotic mixing.
If you want to discuss resistance in general, and it's growth in the future, bring up animal farming. But don't attribute this case to it.
I have no problem with bringing it up. But this article is discussing a specific strain with a specifically attributed cause and it isn't animal farming. It's heroin/antibiotic mixing. That's the cause attributed today, here.
If you read the article, the resistance is attributed to theft of genetic material from another organism. So those bacteria which were most effective at stealing vancomycin resistance survived to breed, and pass on their criminal legacy.
If you'd read the article as opposed to jumping at the opportunity to blame animal farming, you'd have read the vancomycin resistant staph infection (and it's presence in the Detroit area) is attributed to the mixing of antibiotics, including methicillin, with heroin by Detroit drug users from the 1970's. They were attempting to avoid infections.
Walking up to the librarian of your small town and saying "Please unblock access to closetedgaymen.com" or "I'd like access to viagranocure.com" or "Let me see sexaholicsupport.com" would probably give her/him and anyone else within earshot, a lot more information about your life then most people would be willing to share.
And while standing in the non-fiction sex section of the library might be a bit embarrassing, it's also vague enough not to be an abridgement. Putting up big signs in the section like "Spanking" and "Watersports" and forcing people to stand under them to access that information would be designed to embarrass/dissuade/block and would be an abridgement.
Just what the hell do you think a library is? It's a community resource of information. It's publicly funded point so that all citizens can have free access to information. And some of that information is legitimate, protected adult information. But these filters usually designate this stuff as forbidden. And that is an infringement.
There are a number of people who might feel embarrassed/ashamed asking a complete stranger for permission to access websites on legitimate, protected adult speech (sexual dysfunction, orientation, breast cancer information/support groups). Placing the librarian as a gatekeeper to their access to this information (and requiring the librarian to assess what is a "legitimate" request) is an abridgement.
The rare books analogy doesn't fly. There, they are protecting the books. Here, they are blocking non-present third parties (the kids) from possible access to the information.
And the ladders blocking is to prevent liability from people falling.
The library is NOT a day care center. It is a community resource, for adults and children. The legitimate, protected speech of adults should not be blocked because you can't spend the time to watch what your kids are doing.
And considering the open, relatively unsupervised nature of most libraries, is that really where you want to leave your kids alone?
It keeps bound editions of Hustler and Playboy. It stores them in the Rare Book Collection to prevent them from being stolen, defaced or mutilated, according to this letter from Christian Heritage Tours (Google takes you to the oddest places sometimes).
Bill is the one who chose this trip, so focused on getting Indian programmers to program for Windows instead of OSS, to provide this donation. Bill is the one who tied these two together. And the article points out that he expressed concern that AIDS would thwart India's progress in IT, and tied the sentence together with the presence of the Microsoft software development center in India.
It gives them the "exclusive non-revokable right to debit your savings/checking accounts as is deemed necessary to protect your computer, which includes but is not limited to new marketing/business schemes to ensure the continued profitability of Microsoft".
Even more fun, just reading it is considered accepting it.
I quoted the article which said that he felt that India's progress in information technology would be thwarted by AIDS. And the quote line mentioned that the Microsoft software development center in India.
He could have chosen a different time to make the donation and not tied the charity and his main agenda for the visit, which is convincing Indian programmers to not use/program for OSS: he didn't.
The NYTimes reported today that Bill is donating $100 Million to help fight AIDS in India.
Goodwill? Being magnanimous? What does the article say:
He said he worried that India's enormous progress in information technology -- the country has the only Microsoft software development center outside the United States -- would be thwarted by AIDS.
Ohhh. Okay.
He also wore a "tika" (the deep red mark on the forehead). Anybody have actual pictures (as opposed to your 5 minute Photoshop efforts).
Larry says that the sua sponte provision was the straw that he grasped for when he read the decision as the possible good thing from all of this.
But how likely is it that the Judge will actually exercise this power in anything but the most limited fashion, and if she does that it will not be immediately appealed (possibly by the Justice Department and Microsoft together) and overturned?

Jaguar (OS X 10.2) has Inkwell handwriting technology built in (for tablets et. al.). So they have a good foundation.

I'd point out how unfriendly that is to us Mac users, but somehow, I don't think they care.

With customer service like that, how can anybody complain? (without getting arrested, I mean).
They'll have joysticks and lotion.
