The number of restaurants is not the best property to compare on. Meat is relatively expensive and most of the world tune their meat intake based on cost, but if you go to a restaurant, you have money to spare.
In some places, you might even have trouble getting them to make meatless food. Since the concept of ethical vegetarianism is unknown, they might throw in some chicken just to be nice.
And just forget trying to make them lay off the broth and fish sauce.
Modems are not simple pieces of hardware, they're full, self-sufficient devices. And really, what's the point of that now that we have operating systems and device drivers? It was great back when DOS roamed the earth and software packages still were required to support the specific hardware they wanted to use, but now it's just silly.
No hardware should emulate other hardware. Use open standards and specifications instead.
Finally someone who gets it! People don't pirate because they can't afford software. A $5 midlet or $10 shareware app is less than what most people spend on a dinner or throw away in the arcade at a whim.
It's not only cheaper, it's also easier to find a serial online than it is to paypal the money and wait for the mail. Not to mention it's likely the only way for kids without Visa or parents who trust online shopping.
There are numerous benefits to be gained by a programmer who examines real open source code. They can implement new features, squash bugs, tweak functionality.
Are you perhaps referring to free software, rather than open source software in general?
Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 8 years.
Isn't the sshd the only thing that runs on a default install?
It's like saying Gentoo Linux has no remote holes at all in the default install, since it lacked networking until I separately installed my wlan drivers.
That might be true in economics, but in physics we have have concepts like finite quantities and have math to deal with models which are more complex than the compound intrest formula.
Why do you think we bury our dead? It's simple long term investment!
The software they're releasing is probably a project they've given up on (since they have the much more developed ViaVoice engine). Instead of letting it rot in a closet like most companies would, they give it away and score an immense amount of geek points in the process.
Paypal wants to keep a clean image, and genuinely don't want those transactions. I kind of doubt this was a factor, but there's always hope.
Hope? What if I want a box of condoms, literature featuring homosexuality, porkchops or a copy of Life Of Brian? They're all items some people find offensive and 'unclean'. Paypal is not someone to tell me what's morally right or wrong.
If you were to hope for anything, I'd say 2, an effort to cut spam.
You americans and your cell phone networks... In Europe, no provider creates custom firmware, all phones can be used on all networks and with all ringtone/game/wallpaper services. These crazy lock-in things are unimaginable and illegal.
Tastes vary indeed. The non-introductory description of the paraverse was brilliant, letting both you and the soft ones explore their universe without getting herded by human descriptions. Totally alien, even, as opposed to the overwhelming number of crappy Star Trek-like aliens who differ from humans in that they have little squiggly things on their noses and an overwhelming desire to kill.
And Dua... I'd read the book, even if it had an augmented russian dictionary as a foreword, just for her. She can slide into my rocks any time:p
Slashdot Mirror
In the USA?! *gasp*
Mirror!.
Could this potentially void my warranty?

Hey, maybe you could base it on perl!
Makes you wonder who owns the satellite they're spying with.
For a couple of million users, this is around dialup. You'd need a whole bunch of these if you wanted to give a small country TV on demand.

Quite frankly, I'm more worried about being killed by your jerking knees than a computerized car.

$400 for this thing when I can write up some hack for a gameboy and duct tape it to my face?
Yes, me too. It's a shame that Vim cut the debate so tragically short. Rest in pieces, Emacs!
Hehe, 1999... that explains a bit, doesn't it!
(It was the fortune on the bottom of this page. Is it really random?)
1. Feed/burp/carry while videotaping.
2. List chores and use video as leverage
3. Profit!!
Or if the kid's a lost cause, replace 2. with "Sell video to private hungarian men's club"

Phh! Spammers are making billions on rooting already!
It is a horrible process... it kills your uptime!

1. Start free email service
2. Spam! Spam! Spam!
3. Profit
