He is also not "Linux' guardian" (as the BusinessWeek article claims). If that title is accurate at all, it properly belongs to the GNU General Public License, the preeminent Free Software license written by the FSF: the organization whose ethical basis Torvalds dismisses [gnu.org].
So *that's* why my kernel patches keep getting ignored. Instead of sending them to Linus I should have been sending them to the GPL.
For somebody who was with Microsoft in the early days, the wealth should not have been transient. This was not a flash-in-the-pan eighteen-month-lifecycle dot-com. Once her options vested (after four years?) she should have exercised.
It dazzles me how Paul Allen's net worth went up 1 billion dollars. Does anyone know what he does, besides own Microsoft stock, that would increase his value that much?
I think he also owns parts of one or two sports teams in the Seattle area.
At that time and place, would it be economically feasible to be a bandit? What would a traveler have that would be worth taking? Cured meat? Precious metals? Tools?
Richard Dooling wrote a great story for Esquire magazine about this. It's a fictional first-person account with possible social and economic implications.
Deja Vu indeed. I still have that issue (somewhere) too. Great story!
I think casinos provide a more direct interface to gambling, if that is all you're after. And, in my opinion, content and novelty are a long way from being sufficiently economically viable (efficient) to support "the D&D model" in an MMORPG. Which is too bad...
Bart is playing a videogame. After committing a few unlawful acts his character is arrested and must stand trial. Bart: (hitting button) Change of venue! Change of venue!
Videogame: **TEXAS** (electric chair graphic)
Bart: Oh man!
If so, does/. pay for these interviews, or is the interviewee just using a common turn of phrase?
I would expect it to be against the rules for government employees to receive any compensation for interviews like this. The interview was done as part of their job.
If anything, it would be a public relations expense for the government, in order to get their information out.
Recently I've started to do sit ups, push ups, and running up and down the stairs. I get alot of odd looks and would prefer something that doesn't make the whole office stare at me. I've looked through some websites with equipment, but it's all serious equipment I can't/won't lug into work. Any suggestions?
Why do you have to do your exercise at the office? I would suggest getting your exercise on your own time. Any of the following would be good:
Walk. Around your neighborhood. In a nearby park or nature area. Anywhere you can. If there's something interesting to look at, that's even better (people watching in the city, wild animals like rabbits, squirrels, and birds farther out). This one can even be done on your lunch hour.
Find a sport or activity that you like, and do that. It's much easier to make the time for something you enjoy. Running, biking, swimming. Or team sports like softball, basketball, or soccer. If you look around you can usually find a league that takes the sport as seriously (or non-seriously) as you do.
I believe this should be "Funny" instead of "Informative," as it refers to Ferrell's take on the Architect character in the Matrix Reloaded spoof that kicked off the recent MTV Movie Awards. The bit quoted in the parent is hilarious, with perfect delivery by Ferrell.
Many of the Eastern European countries are not that far away from the Western markets, with some actually joining the European Union.
I'm not sure that will help them undercut on price. Doesn't the EU have minimum wage/minimum cost regulations? I seem to recall that this was one of the concerns over Turkey's candidacy for membership.
The 6.002 class is intended for sophomores but can be taken by an enterprising freshmen. In a follow-on class, 6.004, the final project was to build a trinary computer (10 years ago anyway). Back then, and probably still, even if you major in Computer Science you take the same four 6.00* core classes as the Electrical Engineers.
Slashdot Mirror
The LOTR films however are without a doubt the greatest fantasy movies made... only to be rivaled by Dino De Laurentius' Conan the Barbarian trilogy ;)
Trilogy? Did I miss one?

I don't recall an actual earth shaking* explosion.
Marvin the Martian will be very disappointed. There was supposed to be an earth-shattering KABOOM!
Isn't this the plot of a James Bond flick?
Only if it has 100% rad-hard circuitry in order to survive an EMP, like the helicopter from Goldeneye.
complete with sudden, transient wealth
For somebody who was with Microsoft in the early days, the wealth should not have been transient. This was not a flash-in-the-pan eighteen-month-lifecycle dot-com. Once her options vested (after four years?) she should have exercised.
What does your .sig mean? Is it a quote?
Imagine looking for a person when only knowing their phone number.
Hmmm...

It's quite probable that they got a bit lucky.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Hilarious!
There are also a few that don't...
"I love acting. It is so much more real than life."
"One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead."

Does Slashdot *ever* pay for interviews? Dunno.

Don't click on items in the "Download List"
If someone has to pay to download, there is no compelling reason to share that file when finished.
Hmmm. Under the current model, doesn't the first person to rip a file pay for a CD and then share it?
When it is legal and no longer free (as in beer) the attitudes will change and kazaa will die.
Right, and it will probably be replaced by another free network.
Oh, if only I had mod points today!

Isn't trespass usually a civil matter? What constitutes criminal trespass, if there is such a thing?
But not everyone has had their chance to cut on the bias of the U.S. legislative and judicial systems.
Ha ha! Or allowing use of a commercial language instead of CLU in the software engineering lab.

I believe the parent post is intentionally humorous, but just in case...Abelson's professorship has been funded by MIT's Class of 1922.
