Now... what exactly does the NDA prevent? If these companies were to submit patches to Android OS that just did things in a different way to avoid a MS patent and mentioned that the changes were to work around patents without mentioning the specific ones they were avoiding, would that be a disclosure of the NDA? I wouldn't think so.
If Microsoft were really evil geniuses the NDA would be between the companies lawyers and their own engineers. Of course, nothing would prevent an engineer from being turned into a "Paralegal" long enough for them to "research" the patents they couldn't disclose to "engineering". At least nothing in my TV style legal mind.
Ok, you seem to be pretty good at getting jobs, which leads to the obvious question: why have you had so many? Are you a contractor? Do you just get bored at jobs after a year or two?
If my toaster is smart enough to realize that the toast is burning, and communicate that fact to another device, it should be capable of not burning the toast in the first place.
No, It shouldn't. If they had a freeBSD kernel, then yes. They have a Mach microkernel based one with elements of FreeBSD 4 something ( Free BSD is currently on 8.2 going on 9 soon). Yes, the common BSD tools and environment are there, but not used in anyway by the fancy Gui. And try upgrading or replacing those. DarwinPorts and Fink both elect to create separate repositories of the same tools. Just as you can call OpenBSD OpenBSD instead of NetBSD, OSX is Sufficiently diverged from FreeBSD to be something completely different: OSX
You really think that googling for an answer is more difficult than submitting a question to slashdot, getting it approved as a story, and then sorting through all of the various answers? I would hope that some one who finds that to be the case, wouldn't have too many questions they needed answered.
Absolutely. I'd listen to it on purpose. What is ugly to some is beautiful to others. I think part of what makes that still beautiful is that the individual notes from a good piano that is apparently in tune as far as I can tell, are distant enough in time to allow me to forget the previous note's relationship to it.
If you really want to make ugly music, use notes generated by different poorly tuned instruments in disrepair and speed it up.
As part of a settlement to the second lawsuit they Apple Corps launched against Apple Inc, after they violated the first settlement.
So yeah, I'd consider that theft. If you steal an apple from the store, and pay for it after being arrested for theft as part of a plea agreement, its still theft in my book.
Yeah, that could be one interpretation of what he's saying and thank you for correcting that line of thought, but there could be another implication that everyone is missing. He could be trying to explain the lack of life elsewhere ( because the fine structure doesn't allow it elsewhere). So yes,we are tuned to the universe, but maybe sentient life can't exist in other areas of the universe with different fine structure constants.
Yeah, Taco would fix it. Sure. Crappy stories are *new* on slashdot. Heck, if he's gone for another month, I wouldn't be surprised if duplicate stories started popping up now that he's departed. Maybe even a story with a typo in it.
The students from the rest of the world also live outside of the united states. Therefore, I think the bill of rights may be detrimental to education. When was the last time any knowledge of the 2nd amendment was useful in the workplace!
If you really want to know why things are the way they are, you have to resort to statistics, rather than your hunches. That forces you to look at the way things really are, rather than the way you think things are. Its really not that bad, sometimes you are right but sometimes you are wrong. No one is perfect. Come on, learn a thing or too! Give Math a try! If its good for all of those non us kids, its good for you too!
You comment blends in everything you dislike into one scenario, which you yourself do not even really believe to be true. The teaching of values you find to be offensive, wrong, or unnecessary, is associated with *higher * test scores and better performing students. Why? Not because those are valuable things to learn, but because those are things that some *involved* parents *want their kids to learn*. And involved parents that want things taught to their students are almost universally associated with higher performing students. Its the children of parents that *don't* want their kids to learn things or simply don't care that we have to worry about.
Source? Wikipedia has them starting about the same time. Netscape did release publicly available versions before opera ( Nov 94 for Netscape vs 96 for opera)
That means there is an implied symmetry that was not mentioned. If you knew that all such objects were oval in shape then a third dimension would be redundant.
For what its worth thy ask for zip codes to do avs verification. Signatures aren't very good proof either, I mean when was the last time anyone checked yours?
Ok, you as an It enterprise guy worry about data & set up time and everything, I get that. But what does the company actually gain by purchasing a tablet? What does it provide that the blackberry phone it connects to does not provide? A larger screen?
No, it was fair to call it the Foleo when it was released. Now, you're just late. Its like deciding to declare the Roman empire to have fallen. Its not false, just not current news.
That is absurd, bordering on racist and misogynist. Its very similar to arguments made against ending slavery in the USA in the middle of the 19 th century.
Of course that doesn't mean that any war is automatically justified if its to free people. A look at St Augustine's principle of a Just war is a good starting point.
But this feature will be encouraging developers to write applications that accept source at run time. If you don't write that into your app, you only have to protect it from malicious code before compilation, in most cases. Which is much, much easier.
Of course there are always other security threats after compilation as well, and those will still be there in addition to the ones this opens up.

No, actually Unix certification only applies to OsX 10.5 (leopard) and OsX 10.6 (snow leopard). The certification applies to each version of an operating system. http://www.opengroup.org/csq/public/search.mhtml?t=&w=apple&sort=bycomponent&display=short&pid=2958 So you cannot call OsX 10.7 (Lion ) Unix. At least not yet.

I'm not sure how well you understand this point. By using a marketing company, they violated their privacy policy.
Yeah, that could be one interpretation of what he's saying and thank you for correcting that line of thought, but there could be another implication that everyone is missing.

Carbonite, obviously. From the summary:
They are the ones that screwed their reputation by violating its privacy policy.

Ok, great! Now USE IT.
My hypothesis:
involved parents == better students

Your Hypothesis:
Students exposed to things you find offensive suffer academically.
Studies?? Data??
