And to keep asking and doing nothing is exactly the kind of attitude that really makes FOSS seem a bunch of social parasites. So, well, deal with it, there's no way to win with some people.
Because most of the people celebrating were most probably not witnessing conception. At least I'd hope so. Parties are frequently on a day many people on it can relate to.
Errr... "things that have a very slim chance of happening" includes "some entity bootstrapping itself and creating this universe from scratch" too. That's why saying "just happens" is quite ugly viewed scientifically.
It's still missing why did that molecules took that particular configuration; once there one has two choices: "sheer luck" and "induced by something else". None of those choices has a real advantage over the other one right now.
"Sheer luck" sends us back to a realm similar to spontaneous generation (everything in science has to have an origin, right? Saying "It just happened" is ugly-ish) and "Something else made it" creates the trouble of this "something" needing to be created first. One way or another we have something that can't be quite fully explained from a pure and formal scientific POV.
That's similar to what I've been thinking. If it's possible to trace back every piece of DNA through evolution to a piece of code, then that original DNA, having such properties as to evolve into either a cockroach or a dinosaur, should have been somewhat hard to appear from thin air assembled that way.
I mean, even with evolution making sense one has first to set initial conditions. It's kind of fuzzy once we get to that point; evolution doesn't explain everything, just pushes the nasty and hard to explain parts into another field.
Nobody expects the jd inquisition! "...it would not have political appointments made to it, could not be ordered to stop, or indeed even ordered to start..." Come on, does that sound even close to a good idea?
Spare me the techno-babble about how the market forces people to be evil, man. Making money is a subproduct of generating some abstract (or not so abstract) value. Maximizing profit is a consequence, not a goal.
I do have reasons to not fully like a Trolltech IPO, but they're not related to not wanting to invest on a company that sells what people wants to a price people will pay.
If you really think a 6 hour workday will make a kickass improvement, then do your own business, give it a 6 hour workday, and kick the asses of your competition. Don't expect the goverment to impose your theories on everybody else.
I don't quite like the idea.

TrollTech to IPO?

· Score: 3, Interesting
I'd buy shares from them. They sell a quality product for a reasonable price.
But I'd prefer Trolltech to stay private as it is now. The reason being, if I remember correctly, their employees own more than half of the actions, I thing over the 70% even. That sounds good, because the ones that do the work have a reason to worry for doing it good. If that has anything to do with their current quality I don't want to see this changing.
Let me see if I understand; does that mean that you don't think Free applications are good enough to compete on the same market alongside with propietary applications?
No. That is why nobody should be allowed to patent generic and trivial stuff. Period. Even 5 years are too much for patenting the generics of 3D projection.
The maintenance group is there to give a service, not to make a profit selling little boxes that may prevent the cars from turning when they shouldn't because the engineers designed a shoddy direction.
Re: hearts of companies, I never implied malice. Only lack of good judgement.
No, not evil by any means; just impractical. The conflict doesn't arises between MS and their clients, it's between MS the core OS seller and MS the AV seller. MS the company will have to see if it will support (as in not letting lose money or quality) the OS or the AV at one point or another. Not supporting the OS is silly, and if it's not going to support the AV, why beginning the division anyway?

As a mathematician, I say we've not proven yet the theorem that says mexican hats are fermions.
Why is there even a need to "lure" a gender somewhere?
Because that gender is inferior and unable to take their own decisions.
That's what some people thinks.
"Why celebrate birthdays and not conception"
Because most of the people celebrating were most probably not witnessing conception. At least I'd hope so. Parties are frequently on a day many people on it can relate to.
Errr... "things that have a very slim chance of happening" includes "some entity bootstrapping itself and creating this universe from scratch" too. That's why saying "just happens" is quite ugly viewed scientifically.
Right; still, it's not the point.
It's still missing why did that molecules took that particular configuration; once there one has two choices: "sheer luck" and "induced by something else". None of those choices has a real advantage over the other one right now.

Actually, no. If God didn't didn't mean us to create life he would let us do it, and then we would smite ourselves with our little new toys :)

Because the "best best" is probably not in the competition. I'd say Gates is looking for the best of codemonkeydom.
Natural or base 2? I hear natural logs are pretty sociable, they often integrate well.
That's exactly what it it, says me, Bob Debianuser.

Sheer curiosity: is that true or are you being ironic? Makes sense on both cases and I haven't attempted to get a Music major.
Inquiring minds want to know!

It depends.

Conflict of interest.
