OEM licenses are more expensive than that. The OEM anti-resale restrictions are not valid in Denmark meaning many shops resell their OEM licenses. The OEM versions often cost about 4 times less, but you get no fancy box or manual. Still it is a lot more than 15$. In my local store, right now: Boxed Win7 Prof is 1999kr, OEM Win7 Prof is 997kr. That's 200$ including sales tax and whatever the shop is making on the sale.
That page claims to require 400 MB of memory in Firefox 3.5, supposedly due to memory leaks. Opening that page, and that page alone, in a clean Firefox session took only 50 MB of memory... compared to 47 MB to display about:blank. GTFO with your FUD.
Check again. Try looking at how much memory firefox is allocating and not how much of it the operating system is currently keeping in memory. Most operating systems are smarter then the applications and flush any excess stupidity to the swap-file, so the inefficiency doesn't take up valuable physical memory. A clean firefox with about:blank is using 145Mbyte here, where the operating system is currently electing to start with 38 of them in memory.
And btw. stop swearing at people when you are wrong.
Not on your Linux installation, but in your own home directory.
Yes, but this means any security updates or modifications that is done on system level is overrided by outdated versions in the users home directory. You can not have both, you either have controlled and maintained security or you have ad-hoc security randomly applied by users downloading and runing binaries of the internet.
My example is in binary logic. In ternary logic the same problem is just is A "on" or "not on", where "on" covers both on and both. The same basic logical problems exists no matter what logical language you use. That's the point! You can redefine the language but it still describes the same logical space, and all possible universes are describable in logic-space, because otherwise they would contradict themselves.
Binaries installed or modified outside the packaging system is a security flaw, not to mention impossible to maintain. Everytime Firefox opens an update dialog, it is effectively asking me to take a shitload on my Linux installation... and kill a kitten.
I think mathematics is so effective because in the realm of physics our discoveries have few degrees of freedom and can therefore be represented by simple rules. Since the rules must be consistent we have the basis for physics and a tie in to mathematics.
No, mathematics is so effective it is true. It would be true in any universe. No universe can exist which disproves its own existence, thus any universe needs to follow a few basic rules of logic, like A equals A implies A equals A. From those very basic rules you can reconstruct any path of logic, and most of what we call mathematics. Axioms are definitions of a common mathematical language not rules or laws. They just have to apply to be able to agree on what we do with the mathematical symbols. Math would still apply if you change every single axiom (they still can not contradict themselves though, otherwise they can't all be true), the math would look different, but the conclusion it draws from evidence would be the same.
Here is brain quiz for you: Imagine a universe where fact A is always true everywhere, now imagine another universe where fact A is never true anywhere. Could those two universes be the same universe? If not, then all universes not matter how wierd are governed by logic, which means mathematics applies there as it does here, though the laws of physics may not.
Or I am defining people making an income higher than 99% of American as upper class, and people making more than 99.7% of Americans for higher upper class.
Yes, there is separate group of people who are richer than that, but dispite their overexposure on tv, they are very few, and too few to make up a social class, in classic terms they are an aristrocracy or oligarchy.
Of course, just because every effort is made to treat boys and girls the same, that doesn't mean they will actually be treated the same. Scientists use double-blind studies for a reason...
Which is why it was scientists who did the experiments...
Non-scientist usually doesn't do experiments they just shout loudly without evidence, and if they do experiment they usually involve blowing things up.
Actually the biggest problem with water is not the recycling, it is bottled water bought in stores or water served from water coolers. These have a high contact area with toxic plasic which gives off homones. By the time the water is mixed with all the other water we use, it there is not much of the hormones left.
In Denmark it is used to be the bottles for small children and pacifiers that was the worst, but the components that was suspected of being problematic have already been banned for pacifier-like baby-products.
I find little use in a definition that depends on today's date. Especially because I can read articles from saturday and they will call it 3-day, which gives me no information.
Then you need the definitions, people monitoring security events does however.
Btw, an exploit that was recently 0day is not nday it is new. Zero-day exist to tell the difference between something you have a chance to react to (even if the only possible action is disconnecting), and stuff you can not react to because you are not sitting 24h a day pressing F5 on all the worlds security boards.
I always thought that zero-day referred to the time between when an exploit was being used in the wild and the amount of time admins/endusers had to patch there systems.
Nope, zero-day refers to the age.
Just like newborn babies lose the "newborn" title after a short while, or how a 22-year old girl who was raped as a 17-year old, is not a 17-year old rape-victim any longer. 0day is title that hardly survives a day.
I always write long comments that either have no relation to the surrounding code or tell outright lies about it.
Did you by any chance write ALSA? And did you write your long deceitfull unrelated comments in an APIDOX compatible format which later got published as a sort of documentation?
Mein Kampf is not banned in Germany. The only reason it's not available is that the state of Bavaria holds the copyright and refuses to allow it to be printed.
Funny, is that enforced outside Germany? Excepts of Main Kampf are mandatory reading in Danish schools. We got photo-copies, but usually the schools pay the copyright holders for their use of copies.
I wonder what your definition of "super-wealthy" is.
Point taken, maybe I should have used very wealthy instead, and I define it as parents who can afford to send their kids to Harvard.
But let me get this straight: You think having lawyers and bank managers as parents makes you working class? And you think these professions have middle class incomes?? They are strictly higher upper class, but because of Political Correctness anyone making between $10,000/year and $10,000,000/year are classified as upper middle class in the US.
With the USA having elected a Black who had less going for him than many others as president I must conclude you're trolling. If nothing else Obama's election should put to rest the possibility that even the poor can not become something extraordinary.
Obama also had upper class parents. Michelle Obama did not, but she was not the one running for office.
All developers are blue collar. Programming is the IT equivalent of brick laying, it's a trade, not a profession.
If your development includes tasks that are equivalent to brick laying. I think you should consider automating the tasks. Once all trivial tasks are handled automatically there are no trivial tasks left, and thus it is no longer a trade, but either art or science depending on your point of view.
That said: Developers are often treated as blue collar, perhaps because of this mistaken view you share?
And in some companies hiring untrained programmers, they have never automized their trivial tasks, maybe because their untrained programmers have never thought of the idea, or thought of reading a book that would teach them that idea.
You calling people born of super-wealthy parents, and who went to the most expensive schools and universities in the country for blue-collar???
Sure they are college drop-outs, but they were born into a different class of society. Even if they have never done anything in life except sit around drinking beers in their underpants all day they would still be of a higher social class than you, and could probably aspire to become president of the United States one day.
Intel's compiler generates codes that check for non-intel CPU's and disable some optimizations on them. This was introduced in icc 7 to make sure the generated code would run slower on AMD Athlons than on Pentium IV. You can short-circuit the checking functions in the binary and the code runs fine on all x86 chips. I assume the reason Atom needs a specific flag is because it is identifies slightly different than other Intel chips and gets caught by the non-Intel harrasment blob.
So what you just used for your argument that Apple doesn't add extra code to harrass Atoms is that the Intel compiler always adds extra code to harrass non-Intel. That's not a good argument;)
You have a legal right to expect the product you buy is legitimate. The supplier may just admit it is his fault and cancel the deal. So while you can not claim damages besides reversal of the deal, you can force a supplier to admit his GPL-violation or force the court to determine it.

That was a completely different kind of optimical mouse. The name was reused for the modern type because the old had been dead anyway for 10 years.

No, it means they are chemically sterilized.

Maybe they should be warned about the public, and how the public doesn't respect or understand legal concepts?
That's a session cookie, it is not stored. There is a huge difference between session cookies and stored cookies.
