The kernel has no concept of usernames. It only knows the UID. the login program looks up the username in/etc/passwd, and sets the UID accordingly. whoami looks up the UID in/etc/passwd and displays the first username with that UID.
Imagine that all the jobs in the US were outsourced. Every single one of them. Goods are cheaper as a result, but guess what? No one has any money to buy them!
Thats not going to happen; Once it reaches equilibrium the outsourcing will stop. India has some jobs, yet you don't see them outsourcing all of them to the US. The reason jobs are being outsourced is because the IT industry is currently not in equilibrium; When it reaches equilibrium, there will still be programmers left here, and their standard of living will not be greatly reduced. They may have less money, but that is balanced out by the reduced cost of goods(not limited to the IT sector, as anyone who uses software will no longer need as much wages themselves, so other goods will have reduced prices as well).
That's the part of the equation you're not looking at. If you outsource one thing, it results in a cheaper product. If you outsource everything, it trashes the domestic economy.
If you outsource only to reduce price, rather than because of a maniacal urge to outsource, once goods are cheap enough in the US, that wages here are equal to those in India there will no longer be any need to outsource. Not everything will be outsourced unless every manager has the aforementioned maniacal urge to outsource everything.
Of course tariffs increase the price of goods, but the economic health of a given country is affected by more than just the price of goods. If domestic prices go up, and domestic pay goes up, exports may go down, but it's still possible to be better off in the long run.
Not really; The price increases and pay increases closely balance everything out, but the loss of competition means that prices won't subsequently be decreased as much as they would with competition. In the short run it will be the same, but it will be worse in the long run.
And, as a side note, isn't it most interesting how the Prophet at the time that the people Utah of desired Statehood received a message from God that polygamy was now against His will, and that particular epiphany came shortly after the United States Congress told the Mormons that if they continued polygamy, they would be denied statehood?
Polygamy is right when and only when commanded by the lord, as stated in Jacob(I think it was chapter 3.) The Lord probably decided it wasn't worth the legal problems at this time.
yes, but its harder to forge a couple thousand votes than it is to add a couple thousand to some number. With paper voting you have to change the votes 1 at a time; with electronic voting you don't.
that seems rather likely; Businesses that are failing tend to switch business strategies to suing the pants off of people(Not literally of course). The reason is that they already have IP and lawyers, so they do not need to invest in new capital.
I honestly have trouble seeing why- if some party goes to great lengths to collect some information - why they should not have control of the results of that effort. If it doesn't take a lot of effort- then it wont have much value since others will just duplicate the effort- rather than its results.
factual information is the same no matter who collects it; you cant duplicate the effort without duplicating the results. Even if you were right about that, this doesn't seem in the best interest of the people or the economy either, as it will lead to extra effort being done to satisfy the law rather than than creating something of value, and enriching society.
It is a bit of a stretch, but title 3 of FISA states:
nothing in Title III shall . . . be deemed to limit the constitutional power of the President to take such measures as he deems necessary to protect the United States against the overthrow of the Government by force or other unlawful means, or against any other clear and present danger to the structure or existence of the Government.
This seems to mean that the president can do whatever he wants to prevent lawful changes through the political system.
Actually, they're trying to preserve the right to make money maintaining accurate databases of information.
You do not have a right to make a profit. You can refuse to sell a good or a service if you aren't paid enough however.
After all, nothing stops you from making the same investment and opening it to the public (freedb, anyone?). This just stops you from riding the coattails of somebody else's hard work without their permission.
The database rights cover facts; Since the facts are the same in both cases, the databases will be, and you will be in violation.

They aren't focusing on the desktop because they own that market. Who are they going to get to switch? They can't switch people from macs, as anyone who has met an Apple zealot knows. The linux users are mainly computer experts(compared to most people anyway) and can make a choice based on the merits of the product rather than advertising. They do not need to focus on the areas they have a monopoly in.
You missed the analogy. The first one is free, but you get locked in(via proprietary formats or withdrawal symptoms). After that you pay for something you wouldn't have got if it wasn't free; by accepting free stuff you get ripped off. Linux on the other hand is released under the GPL, so anyone can supply it. If Redhat tried this, they would switch to another distro instead of paying a ton for an upgrade, or they could get a copy of Redhat Linux from someone who has it.
MS would develop these fixes only where the cost involved matched the demand of them and MS products (and priced into the future demand) in the MS revenue model with a certain level of significance.
But it seems unlikely that the third world countries would pay hundreds of dollars per seat for licenses, unless they needed the product to access existing data; It is a lot of money to them, and could be better put to other uses. Overall Microsoft is benefitting from this, even without including tax deductions, as they are locking in those nations.
(though $1bn is surprisingly large MS and Bill Gates seem surprisingly benovenant for megalomaniacs)
That's at the retail value. As an example say I was selling sand at the price of $1000000000 per grain, and decided to give you a grain of sand; Would that be considered nice?
The point is that that is what he would charge for it, if he had not donated it to them; It is costing his company very little to donate it.
It is possible that the destruction caused by a Soviet invasion of Western Europe would cost the USSR more than they would have gained.
If we didn't help defeat Hitler he would have been beaten anyway. The USSR and UK together had enough military power to win, with more casualties, of course. The USSR wouldn't have been as much of a threat had we not helped against Hitler.
Just because their are others more evil than Microsoft does not make what they do okay. By that logic it's okay to kill a couple people, as long as you are not as evil as a couple of dictators.
Does it matter? If the patent-holder agrees to settle for a couple hundred dollars under what it would cost to defend yourself would you agree to it? Most people would, and the patent-holder would profit without the case actually going to court

You are supposed to use references like that, and the patent covers a small incremental improvement over the existing examples.
could you provide a link to the patent?
