It's a) to long and b) a lot more complicated than previous revisions. At least I kind of understood those. Now it's more a political manifesto, forcing everyone who touches the software to become vegeterian etc..
I develop with both objective-c and c# and while I like the c# syntax and gc better, Interface Builder is the most elegant way of user interface programming out there.
There is a list at http://www.eu-registry.info/downloads/1-blocked.tx t with all the "reserved" domains. Interestingly, especially german, spanish and greek terms to be on the list (mostly political stuff like hitler.eu). Seems like some countries care less for freedom of speech than others.
So what does the wiki have to do with my profile? It seems like it's more specific to the product than to me. And since it's just free prose, it'll be rather difficult to do any funny shazingle to my profile by analyzing my wiki entries.
I still can't sign up for empower in Safari, Firefox, Opera or even IE 5 Mac. But I need the Empower program to get my WinXP license so I can run IE for win. MS Catch-22?
I believe the LGPL explicitly allows binary redistribution. Howerever, it may still require attribution, and that did not happen in this case. Way to go to break copyright law to prevent others from doing the same. Especially since the LGPL goes a long way towards uses such as this.

Firstly, it has been like that for a long time. There isn't a country in this world that does not rely on products from other countries. That kind of economic independence hasn't been around for 50 years. If you think the Blackberry is important in that context, just think of all the hardware that's manufactured in Asia.
Secondly, total economic independence shouldn't even be a goal. Cooperation is not only economically beneficial (economies of scale, specialisation etc.), but is also an important factor in stabilizing the world. The #1 reason why there will never be war again between France and Germany is that both countries' wealth depend on trade with the other.
... I feel the internet is rather save in us hands. At least better than in that of Cuba and Iran. And even in Eurpean countries, some politicians don't always understand that freedom is always the freedom of different opinions (or sexual preferences and tastes).
Aside from law issues, I don't see the business case against opposing google print. Could the net effect be anything else but higher sales due to the amount of people who will find just the right book when searching through google?
The only reason I could see is strategy: the publishers are afraid that google print could be _so_ successful that it gains power against them, ultimately maybe even replace them and directly connect authors and publishers and providing a print-on-demand service. A situation not unlike Apple vs. The Record Companies.
Similar to this, I remember a bug that was discovered in several ATMs in Germany: if you had not taken after x minutes, the ATM would pull it back in and the charge to your account would be canceled. If you simply held on to the money, the ATM would go through the motions, you got to keep the money and the charge was still canceled.
If MySQL supported only a subset of the SQL Standard (big IF since it does have stuff like nested queries, transactions, triggers etc now), thats the opposite of lock-in. Obviously, there is no harm in using only a subset of SQL and then moving to a different RDBMS. It's exactly the Oracles and Microsofts with their embrace & extend policy that makes it difficult to switch: Oracle has _every_ (well, most - not the excellent fulltext search) feature of MySQL, so there is no problem to switch.

Actually, a teapot could make a rather nice Faraday cage.

Well you don't HAVE to use Interface Builder. You can easily just init your interface programmatically. Although I don't see a reason to do it.

Maybe he did it because HE understands that research should not be guided by popularity. Go ask Galileo or Pythagoras.
Hey, you're talking about Nash Equilibria. At least that was the example they used in "A Beautiful Mind".

Nice parroting there pal. Too bad you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Since this is probably a GPL-derivative, I'd like the first to get an "invite" to stop all the "inviting" and simply post the source somewhere. Thx!
