Of course the Republicans (or rather Fox News) screwed up. The district is firmly conservative, always has been and still is. This is why it is not a great win, bug a big loss for the idiots from the Tea-party HQ at Fox, who through their actions lost the conservative a seat.
Personally though I appluad their willingness to support 3rd parties, too bad it turns out badly nearly everytime one appears.
Linking is only a problem if your product is derived from the GPL code. If you link to it and never use it, there is no problem. If you dynamically load and link to a GPL plugin, you may be derived, but if your product works perfectly well without that plugin, and if you don't even ship that plugin yourself, then your product of course can not be logically be derived.
I admit that determining what is a derived product is hard, and the easiest rule is just refering to linking, but it is not quite that simple though.
So what is the hard part? You shouldn't have used GPL code in the first place if you are not willing to share your derived products. Besides if you hire the contractors as temps they are part of your company and you would still be protected by the internal-use clause.
GPL is about forcing future software that uses on GPLed code to also be free. You don't want to be held by the GPL? Then don't use GPLed code. Is it really that difficult?
Non-sense. Anyone can use GPLed code, regardless of what they want to do with it.
If you don't want to be tied by the GPL, then don't modify and distribute it. Now that should be really easy to avoid for anyone who is not evil.
Who can sue over a GPL violation? Doesn't it have to be the author of the code?
The GPL gives certain rights to the end-user, so the end-user can sue as well. Besides the author and the user, I believe the FSF can also take the case.
And the best strategy for the shooter is to place the ball in the corner where the goalie can't reach it even if guesses the right side. The only problem with this strategy is that it increases the risk of missing the goal entirely, which not only losses the 50-50 chance but is also extremely embarrassing. So the optimal strategy is only valid for really good shooters.
And we are not even covering the options of feints, but game theory of feints gets silly. Is is feinting for real or is he feinting to make me think he is feinting, or is he feinting to make me think he is only feinting to make me think he is feinting? or...
I realize this post will get a lot of heat for saying China has trouble exporting, but when is the last time you purchased something that had the name of a Chinese company on the box.
When I bought my most recent Thinkpad which says: Lenovo. A product that has worse fashion-design and higher prices than their competitors, but is favored because they still have the highest build quality in the industry,
Several old features are missing on the desktop, but there have been no major features removed from Konqueror (maybe you are missing a specific kpart/view?). Just replace dolphin with konqueror for webbrowsing (using the File Management profile of course), and you will avoid the "tuna bait". On the other hand Dolphin is just a specialized konqueror for file management, and uses the same KParts as Konqueror.
What about scroll-wheel? My keyboard doesn't have one.. Even this bland featureless mouse oly has ONE? Even the old Microsoft Explorer had atleast two. I am not buying it until it has more scrollwheels!
The kernel is 64bit otherwise it can't launch 64-bit application. The VM layer might still have had 32bit (36 with PAE) limitation in 10.5, but the kernel has to run in longmode and be able to save and restore 64-bit process-states which is what a kernel does. Being able to do "what a kernel does" on 64-bit processes makes it a 64-bit kernel. Drivers can still be run in 32bit mode, especially if they are still microkernel based, and internal addressing can also happen in 32bit even if you are running in 64-bit mode. The long mode only closes 16bit support, not the ability to address in 32bit.
Btw. Be carefull with calling other people clueless about stuff you don't understand;)
OS X 10.6 includes i386 and x86_64 versions of almost everything. By default it runs the x86_64 versions on compatible CPUs and compiles software as x86_64. It runs the i386 kernel by default, but the OS X i386 kernel is capable of running 64 bit processes.
Ehhmm no.. A IA32 operating system can not run AMD64 processes, it is physically impossible. A AMD64 kernel can however run IA32 processes. No matter how awesome you think Apple are they are still using the same CPUs and 64bit mode is simply not available from 32bit mode (what would be the point?). Compatibility mode is however available from 64bit mode.
Volunteers for medical experiments get paid. If the procedure is known to be painful you get payed more. Med students are often used, but many other students earn a little extra that way.
Cows doesn't have inner pain receptors like humans do. They only feel the pain from breaking the skin, but no pain from a doctor operating inside. For this reason operations and experiments on cows often happens using nothing but a local anesthesia to numb the skin.
All cars show up to 10% higher speed than what you actually travel. The car can't know how large tires you are using and assumes the largest that can be fitted, which usually means larger than what is default. If old "ordinary" tires, this is around 10% compared to large alu-tires.
An openness scala needs to have two extremes to be useful, which is why it also needs to included the worst of the worst in closedness, which reflects the minimum of openness.
Huh? In the ear, "thousands of "hair cells" are set in motion, and convert that motion to electrical signals that are communicated via neurotransmitters to many thousands of nerve cells" . Wouldn't you say the joint work of "thousands of nerve cells" is exactly what "brute force" is about?
That's is the equivalent of a fourier-transformation (dividing sound into tones), not a brute-force search of words or syllables.
last time I remember that people voted out incumbents was the Republican Revolution in 1994. 2 years into Bill Clinton's presidency, a tax increase and the defeat of hillarycare
Take off your colored glasses and look just two years before that event (hint: A few months before Bill Clinton took office??).
Besides the US has a long proud tradition of voting against the party of the incumbent president except for his actual reelection. This usually ensures the president has a critical congress.
Just to correct myself a bit. Yes, floating point is used way too little. People who knows fixed point gets the point, but to anyone unfamiliar with fixed point I would just like to point out; floating point is default for a reason, for generic math it is much safer and more accurate. Fixed point is best for addition, subtraction and small multiplications, and math where you have wellknown ranges and precision requirement. It has absolute precision when used right, but division and large multiplication requires some knowhow to do right. If you need large multiplications, need to divide with variables or use arbitrary numbers in general, then floating point is easier and safer.
With fixed point you can choice the basis of the fraction part. A binary fixed point would not help them, but a decimal fixed point of/10 or/100 would. The algrebra of fixed point is the same no matter what base you choice. This means it is fastest way to get decimal based fraction instead of binary fractions (decimal floating point is best with hardware support).
Fixed point never rounds when operating in the range and precision for which it is designed. In this case they needed a precision of.1, using INT/10 would be 100% accurate and never give them any rounding errors for this use case.
So, in other words: You are wrong, and should probably considering using fixed point more.

I don't live in the US, and I have several cases where EULAs were nullified in the US. It all depends on the state you live in.
I am assuming it is french and not swiss. The french are always carrying baguettes..

No, the article looks like a troll.

True, but funny enough pirated software contains much less malware than the original packages, which is one of the its many advantages.
Don't tell them it is terminal or they will never touch it!
