For the compensetory damages, a judge would likely just force Cherry to release all source code changes and enhancements. After all, that is what they where supposed to do from the start. Additionaly they may require the defendant to pay some or all of the plaintiffs cost of the law suit.
Punitive damages are different. It means the judge takes money from the defendant just because he was a naughty boy, it's a punishment. Typically it's awarded to the plaintiff but IIRC a judge can award punitive damages to a third party as well (this may vary by state). In this case an organization like the EFF would be a good candidate.
My wife was buying airline tickets on Expedia when it asked her to log in, the first log in choice was to use her Passport id. So she dutifully goes and retrieves her US passport. Yes, I laughed at her too, but still the confusion was understandable, she was buying airline tickets after all.
Maybe if they would have called WebId or something more descriptive it might have caught on.
You ever heard the term "star employee"? It comes from the movie business, where they are called stars because a huge part of the product they sell is unique actors. Its much easier to bargain as a star because you are truly unique to the end product. Thats not the case in the game business (or nearly any other business for that matter).
Reminds me of those "unbreakable" combs. I broke one. It took 30 minutes of repeated bending back and forth, but dammit, it broke. I want my 35 cents back.
I can't think of anywhere where they had communism.
That should tell you something. A communist society, ala Marx, is not possible. Communism as a prescription for societies ills is like saying "just float in the air" to someone who has bad knees. Yes, if he could just float around, then he wouldn't have all those knee problems. The problems is, there is no practical way for people to float around, the advice ignores this fact. Same thing with Communism, it doesn't work because it ignores the nature of man and his motivations. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
All he did was change a move his finger a half inch, squeezing the trigger. The damage he caused was no worse than if he had simply pointed the gun at himself.
Just because his actions where simple and required little effort doesn't make the act any less damaging.
I don't think he's talking about predicting what the market is going to do, but rather understand better the impact various rules, events, etc that influence the outcomes of the market, so that we can come up with better markets by changing the rules, planning better for unexpected events, etc.
I don't thinks he's talking about making the rich richer by letting them predict the market better. His aspirations for what can be done are far far greater than that. He's talking about a better scientific foundation on society and marketplaces and putting that to work advancing the way markets work.
That work can influence global treaties and WTO policies. Those sorts of advances can make huge impact on all sorts of markets, especially in the lower end likes the 800 million people who currently are undernurished for example.
Sociological barriers are far more complex. Alice addresses the specific needs of the subpopulation of middle school girls. By supporting storytelling, an intrinsically motivating activity for middle school girls, Alice will make programming a means to an exciting end.
Just because college students find it interesting doesn't change the fact it's designed for as learning language for children. A natural language debugger sounds like an interesting way to help students understand why their programs don't work. But thats not the way it was reported by CNN, no mention of it being a learning language and not a production language. They left almost gave everyone here on slashdot the wrong idea (not hard to do I admit) about both the debugger and the language and environment its designed for. Thats bad.
Something seemed amiss. Anyone who is smart enough to write a debugger would immediately understand the problems with a natural language debugger. I googled the "alice programming language" and found
What is Alice.
Alice is a language designed for children. Hence this is a debugger designed for children.
I think developing programming tools for children is pretty rad, but the journalist totally omitted this was a tool for kids. What's up with that?

Dude, they're French. They care not about readership, they are heavily subsidized by the French gonvernment.

No worries, the federal government is on the case. The problem now is as good as solved.
to not know that about ActiveX. This guy has "fame"?

Double-blind studies can find no correlation between MSG consumption and physical reactions. But I doubt you'll believe it. One such study:

They got so fat there were smaller fat astronauts orbiting them.
Day 1: 0lbs Day 2: 0lbs Day 3: 0lbs Day 4: 0lbs ...
You get the picture.
It means the TFHB (tin foil hat brigade) thinks whenever police in another country do something bad, the US *must* have caused it.

You forgot TPS reports don't get filed.
Isn't this basically the same idea as Epcot?

That's pretty much how I remember learning to talk.
Was the guy himself a microdrive? Has the microdrive robot takeover begun?
I saw Page on plane once, in 1997. I use the internet daily. I have a cache of every porn site on my hard drive. I am a carbon based life form.
The connections and similarities are endless. Watch out Google!
I think you mean rack and peanut steering. Pinion? What is this, make-up-words day?

Lets change it around a bit:

Umm, thats a list of states where you can't be forced to join a union in order to take a job. Thats a different thing altogether.

"Communication of intent between drivers is critical..."
Obviously you are new to driving.
If the other driver knows my intent, then I've lost the element of surprise.
