But if I let the work fall into public domain $EVIL_CORPORATION* could use it to advertise their new product.
Umm... so fucking what? You think the Brothers Grimm ever wanted to see their stories turned into this crap?. Or Michelangelo wanted his painting on the Sistine Chapel used as a base for all kinds of stupid stuff?
The point of creating art is to contribute to culture, not to control who sees what in your art, or uses it for whatever purpose. Copyright gives you an opportunity to profit immediately after the creation of it, and after that, it goes to the public domain, for the public to use however they see fit, because that's how culture is created. Your own works are based on many, many hundreds of other people's work... what gives you the right to control how others use your work if you already use so much culture without attribution or paying someone? If you don't get that, you have no business calling yourself an artist.
I wonder how they'd count me... I have two AP's, one is encrypted for my use, the other is unencrypted and rate limited on a separate VLAN as a community service (mostly 'cuz I wanted to mess with VLAN's).
My point is that they will work eventually, and will see the speed benefit from the improved javascript performance, rather than your extensions making Firefox run like a Pinto towing a ton and a half of scrap iron.
While you watched your ass, the kid was 15. Teenagers aren't allowed to drive because they don't have the best of judgment most of the time... should we allow this kid to be strung up on trumped-up felonies because he wasn't as aware of his personal safety yet still tried to do the right thing?
The kid had access to the network. There were obviously places on it that he WAS allowed to access, because his network login let him in. How can you be convicted of trespassing if there's no "No Trespassing" sign, and no indication until you're there that you shouldn't be there?
How can you tell that a network folder is "locked" except by trying to access it, though? Just check the permissions of everything? He was probably browsing through the network, and found the data. I know that schools and businesses often keep other data that you're supposed to access on a network, so it's not unreasonable to expect someone to be, you know, browsing the network.
I'd use the bad analogy of trying the door of a store that says "closed" and finding it unlocked. After figuring out who the store belonged to, he left and notified the "owner". And now he's being thrown under the bus for it.
Autism rates might also be up because people are now looking for it. Hell, it was only in the 1940's that it was even starting to be defined. It wasn't until the late 60's that it became a separate condition.
But then again, ADHD rates are on the rise, too... that's gotta be caused by vaccines too, right? And asthma? Couldn't be anything environmental other than vaccines.
There is no evidence or research to back up your claim. There is correlation, and that's about it.
When mars is between 36 and 250 million miles from Earth at any given time, and light speed is 11,176,943 miles per minute, that gives you an average lag of 3 to 22 minutes or so? That's nothing! Any REAL gamer can deal with that.
It doesn't when you aren't raised to be cognizant of the repercussions of your actions.
It never ceases to amaze me how entitled and amoral many kids are, being so protected from any kind of failure or problems by their parents, being told constantly that they're perfect, they can do no wrong, and nothing is ever their fault.
I'd bet almost all of it is the effect of the scheduler. The benchmarks all show single tasks taking longer, but that's not taking into account multi-process performance. Is the desktop still responsive now even with a high-intensity background task running? I'd take that over the task finishing 5% faster any day.
Just because people are buying it doesn't mean they want it. I have co-workers here who needed to use Office 2K7 due to getting docx attachments and needing to use spreadsheets with more than 65K rows, and they all despise it. Before anyone comments, no, we're not using Excel as a replacement for a database... we work with data. It's what we do. We know what we're doing, it's just easier to use Excel than massive tab-separated text files.
Get Super Mario Brothers from the virtual console on the Wii... you click "start" and within a few seconds you're at the same choice screen. And even better, it saves your state! There's a LOT more data loaded with games any more. Many times those studio logos are masking a much larger load into memory of textures, setting up the engine, etc.
The NES had 2KB of RAM. Cartridges were what, 1MB or so, tops? The Wii has 88MB of RAM just by itself.... it takes time to load that stuff from an optical disc into the proper places in the RAM.
I'm not saying I don't want my games to load faster, or that I don't think the health and safety warnings should be able to be skipped. I just understand why games loaded off of optical discs take a long damn time to get going.
I'd think the Wii would be a better idea. It's got many more games that are multiplayer on the same console, as well as games that are designed for shorter session play. A 10-15 minute game of Mario Kart or Wii Sports bowling or whatever with your co-workers is easy to do, whereas you can't do that with most PS3/360 games as far as I know.
But overall, I agree with your suggestion... a single break space that isn't in the workstation is the best idea, and it'd cost a lot less overall.
If you advocate asking for facts and logic to back up opinions, why do you still think ID is a good thing to teach? It has no grounding in anything scientific at all. You're obviously incapable of proper scientific thought processes, and children are even less so, which is all the more reason to not present false dichotomies and unsupportable conjecture to them in science classrooms.
Teach things that are verifiable facts, that are accepted scientific theories backed up with said facts and observations. Until "intelligent" design meets those criteria (don't kid yourself, it doesn't), it has no business being in any classroom other than a theology classroom.
The only "fun" stuff they rip out are the targeting computers and weapons controls and some of the military comms gear. You know, things civilians really shouldn't have anyway.
Because that would make sense and make his old book irrelevant, you jackass. Let him have his dreams... that book about the invisible man in the sky is obviously the only thing keeping him from becoming a completely amoral mass murderer.
So, we should give Holocaust deniers, and the faked moon landing theorists the same chance to teach their "information" to our kids as we do what actually happened? After all, it's only fair to let everyone have a voice, on all sides of any issue.
Because companies don't want their competitors to know how much money they're saving by doing things one way or another.
Really, if you were able to save $1 million a year in operational costs, and keep your prices at that of what your competitors are, would you REALLY want to tell them how to lower their operational costs? I'd rather not, and keep the extra profit inside the company. Or even just lower my prices just a little bit, so I cut them out of the market, but still profit quite nicely.
There are lots of reasons not to tell. Not that that's the best thing for everyone, but it makes a lot of sense as a business C?O
That's why our company sells our software for less than we could get otherwise to get clients that we can reference.

Those extensions are written with Javascript and XUL. If Javascript is sped up, the extensions should also benefit.
Only if they're in large groups.

It's trekkers, damnit! Stop oppressing us!
PS- I'm not actually a fan. I only like William Shatner's more recent work ;)

There's no way to keep someone out if you have to give them both the key and the lock?
The point is that it's not like a locked door because you can't keep the key secret. By definition you HAVE to give out the key.

We know what we're doing, it's just easier to use Excel than massive tab-separated text files.
If it wasn't for co-workers switching to Office 2K7, I wouldn't have upgraded either.
So that's at least one of the Linux downloads.
