I fail to see how this is really doing anything but propping up the existing DNS/IP system. All you're doing is routing traffic outside of US jurisdiction, yet still using the tools of the system that you don't like.
Yeah, and that way the artists get money! Oh wait. No they don't. Might as well be torrenting the music at this point, rather than buying it from someplace that doesn't compensate the creators of the music in any way, shape or form financially.
Show some reading comprehension. He's saying that there are people out there using the OSI approved liscences already. Those are the sticky situations. If they recall the approval on these other liscences, then people out there will be still using the OSI Approved banner, because when they got the liscence it was approved, even if it's not now. Which makes things...sticky.
Because 95% of the market isn't demanding it _right now_. They may be soon-ish, but right now, it's a very select few linux nerds who can't run the 32bit plugin somehow. Not the market MacroDobe caters to.
No, it's saying that they can provide grammar support because they can cooperate with link-grammar, and that the other two projects provide it with LaTeX math features. It's a very, very poorly worded phrase, but they aren't trying to create a link between LaTeX and grammar checking, but rather link-grammar to grammar checking, and gtkmathview and itex2mml to math equations.
Poor phrasing kills the point though.
Actually, AOL did do something about it. They opened up the TOC AIM protocol. It has less features and is generally kind of buggier. But they did "open up" in some sense.
Contrary to popular belief, some people enjoy doing things that you don't like. I have good friends that love their retail jobs. I personally love doing residential construction. I also happen to enjoy technology management, teaching, and volunteer supervision. I think your outlook is damaging to people, and by extension, horrible for society.
My statement is not a feelgood statement. It's a truth of fact of what has worked for me, my family, and those people who are around me and happy. Deal with the fact that others choose different paths than you. I said that if making lots of money, etc etc makes you happy, then by all means, do the jobs that the rest of us don't want to do, for more money. I think the inherent problem with you argument is that the "undesirable" jobs like garbageman and air traffic controllers should be paid more, so that people who are interested in being happy via money do them. There's an incentive system both ways, and if that means I have to take a paycut so that others can enjoy themselves as well, I'm more than willing to do so. Your view of society is based on a static, unchanging view of the present, rather than looking at the way society and economy adapts to changes in its' structure all the time.
This is old news. Everyone on OSX has moved on to using Seashore which is the GIMP is a nice slick OSX package, native Aqua/OSX windows, and overall just a better program. Check it out.
Plan-It-X records seems to support this kind of thing, as do many other small independent punk/indie labels. Check out any of them like Hillbilly Stew, Dirtnap, etc. At the same time, why not just do it yourself? Trackers are easy to set up, or you can use a public one, it has virtually no impact on a webserver short of just serving the pages (as long as you're not Loki or Demonoid).
It doesn't hurt it at all, since he has no rights to the work. DC promised him to give him and Dave Gibbons the rights once it went out of print. It's never, ever, gone out of print, and probably never will.
That's always been his stance. He takes the cash, absolves himself of it, makes sure they don't tie his name into the marketing, and let's them wander about.
However now he's giving all portions of his proceeds to the artists involved in the projects.
Or we could retrofit the grid to be more reliable on localized, appropriate solutions to the problem. Rather than a "one size fits all" approach, we could sacrifice some efficiency up front by testing and determining which kind of power is appropriate for certain states/counties/etc and impliment those there, to charge up our batteries in our electric cars.
Plug in hybrids won't be a solution until the power grid isn't dependent on environmentally unsustainable power sources. Plug into solar/wind/etc yes, but plug into Coal/etc, nope.
Sorry, I didn't see that, I was actually just responding to the guy who was talking about the logic equation. His logic may be "sound" but does not represent a reality of constraints that we live in. Your point stands, but I wasn't really addressing it, only the logic construct.
And the idea that E=MC^2 is a law is hilarious. All "laws" of science are just observations that we can repeat enough times to believe that they are constant in the universe somehow. If something happens that "violates" a "law of science" it doesn't mean that the occurence is somehow in the wrong, just that our "law" isn't wide enough in it's scope or is somehow flawed.
However, it does limit the ways in which you can interact with it, and limit you to obey certain rules in your relationship with it. That's part of a social contract that we all "agree" to by paying taxes and staying in this society.
Better yet, build a bittorrent client/decentralized tracker type thing into the Game xStream client, abstracting the torrent-ness of it, but still getting the same effect. That'd be pretty sweet.

It's called a street team. Bands have been doing it for years. Nothing really all that new.
He meant MS, not IBM.

Best advice. Don't worry about career or money, unless those are what make you happy. Just do what you enjoy, and the rest will fall into place.
HEY HEY HEY. Don't crush this guy with the reality of reading comprehension.
I think you need to look again. This is a native program made using the GIMP framework. It's a reworking, but its not just a different toolkit.

Have you looked at folding bikes by Dahon or in the UK Brompton?

Ars has a much more thorough and thoughtful take from someone who actually follows Apple and has some common sense.

Why don't you just boot ubuntu on your mac? Instead of VPC?
