You know, I never understood the point of InnoDB. One may want a complete, fully functional DBMS, in that case, there is PostgreSQL, or one may want a lightning fast data indexing/accessing machine, and for that case there is MySQL. InnoDB brings something that is slower than Postgres and still isn't a complete DBMS by any point of view.
That is not the case for the GPL family and BSD. The original author can't revoke at will any code licensed under those licenses.
Also, being irrevocable is a prerequisite for both OSI and FSS accepting a license, except when that revogation comes as a consequence of one act you practice, and is limited to the person practicing it.
"Which Brazilian law are they actually breaking? "
The ones that say that you can't take over a satelite that belongs to someone else and that you can't use a frequency that is concessed to someone else.
"space still doesn't belong to anyone, as far as I know"
Yep, but the satelite does belong to someone. Our law isn't such laise faire that says that if you have access to anything, you can use it. Also, the radio frequency can't be used by anybody that wants it, one needs proper government permission.
Way to miss the point. Copyrights are recognized by every country that agreed to it. You can't transfer it between countries because it is already on every country. If the US stopped recognizing some copyrights, it will ceasse to be recognized within the US, but there is no change for other countries.
MS support is great for knowing why the problem you have can not be fixed. Their paid support work as a charm (8/5) and will aways come with an answer (after a few weeks fo trouble). Of course, if the problem is on just a few machines, formating/upgrading them is cheapper than even using the support, but when it is widespread, it is very usefull to (wait until 8AM at the next business day and) call support before discovering that you'll need to format/upgrade all those machines.
"Remember that silica gel can be re-used, you just have to dry it in some way."
Just heat it at a home oven, set the oven for 120 to 180 ceulsius. It is better if you can do that on a dry climate, but that is not necessary. Anyway, whatch out for corrsion of the oven, if you plan to do that several times, you'd better make a ceramic oven.
"... $150 per gram... third most expensive substance per weight that I know of"
You should take a look at some other substances, like gold, tungstein, platinum... Or maybe you should want to fix that price becuse for $150 the gram a 1 miligram chip would have the extratospheric cost of $0,015 from materials.
Yes, I'm aware of that. That comes with some lost performance, that could be as severe as 2 orders of magnitude increase on writting times.
My point was just that disks also have devastating fragmentation and performance problems when dealing with many small files, and those are way more severe than the ones solid state devices show.
Yep, I'm aware there are different rules for different languages. I was oblied to learn French when I was a kid, Portuguese is my first language, and I also speek spanish... Anyway, grammar nazy helps improving one's knowledge of a language. I do know, it always helped me.
I don't get all the fuzz about the small file problem. Yeah, SSDs behave better when you have big files, but so do HDDs. More yet, the troughtput difference between a HDD when reading big files and small files can have 6 orders of magnitude (9 if you go to the theoretical worst case), for a SSD, it has 2 orders of magnitude at most (a few models keep that bellow 10).
"High-end HDDs still edge out SSDs for serial reads in many setups."
Serial being the keyword here. You probably know that random reads are several orders of magnitude slower on a HDD than serial reads, but the difference is much smaler for a SSD. Lots of people reading your post won't know it tough, so I think it is better to put this advice here.
It is extremely usefull. ClamAV integrates with samba, MTAs, FTP servers, and proxies to make sure that the Windows machines that use the services provided by the Linux ones can't participate in a bot-net, either infecting or getting infected.
Well, it is fun. At least the fisrt time you do it, more yet if you're doing it with by a custom exploit. The fun evades quite fast, but when you have thousands of people sharing a server, you'll always have a few wanting to cheat, and those will disrupt things for everybody else.
Now, anti-cheating technology simply does not work. One'd better design the game to not be cheatable or make cheating non-annoying. Both wold solve the problem and avoid the money sink that is protecting the game from the computer it is running on.

"do we want our lightbulbs to perfectly mimic natural daylight ?"
Yep.
"Isn't it possibly useful for our brain to differentiate between day and night, even in well-lit environments, and regulate our biological cycles accordingly ?"
Our brains differentiate between day and night by the darkness/brightness of our environment. Making it lit with light of a different tonnality just stresses you.
And, by the way, ther is no space between the sentence and the question mark.
Oh, no. The "economic times" are uncertain because people are trying hard to measure the "economic energies". If they were trying to measure the "times" directly, they'd be way more certain (but of course, would have no idea of the "energies").
I got that message once, because I was using Konqueror (I had flash installed, the same version it requested). The site just made the old test "is it IE? is it Firefox? No I don't support it". It worked on Iceweasel, but I used it just for testing, since I don't want to use a stupidly coded site.
"Producing good products that people actually want is expensive..."
Doesn't need to be. Of course, ensuring that software has a small number of bugs is expensive, but that is not the only aspect of quality, most of it comes, from vision and planning. Bugfixing can't save a bad product.
Slashdot Mirror
In a sense, yes. Stores closed, people stooped working... That is probably the same sense that collapse was used by the GP
Yep. Multiply that by the entire population of your country. Flu spreads very well, it is nothing like most other disiases.

Assuming you can enforce intelectual property overseas, that'd have some potential.
The problem is that reality doesn't agree very well with that assumption.

No need to check, that is not theoretically possible with any reaction that doesn't involve anti-matter.

There is no hipocrisy on cheer as MS got slammed by the same tool they created (or loobied toward the creation) in order to slam the small guys.
If there is any hipocrisy anywhere here it is within MS, by violating a software patent.
By pretty soon you mean some 20 quarters away (5 years).
Of course, I don't want them disrupting everything all around all this time, but MS is quite a hard bully to defeat.

At least on Linux, it doesn't exist for Flash.
