The absolute and callous disregard for their health and safety at the time is shocking; I suppose the same kind of thing happened to British, French, Russian and Chinese troops in similar circumstances.
In Soviet Russia, health and safety disregards you.
I know that other have sacrificed for OSS. That is why it is truly free to me. I appreciate that, but I don't have to make any personal sacrifices to obtain it if I want (except for maybe some bandwidth). If I want to give back I can, but it's not required. OSS is the only thing in life with "no strings attached".
Free as in "I don't have to sacrifice anything of my own to obtain this software." I was always told that nothing in life was free, but I stopped believing that claim when I learned of OSS.
Whoa dude! I don't hate American companies. I was just saying that American companies own most of the IT patents, which is why it does not benefit a foreign country to go along with our copyright system.
What he said:
'If you don't want to create jobs or intellectual property, then there is a tendency to develop open source"
What he meant:
'If you don't want to create jobs for Microsoft or pays fees to owners of most intellectual property (American companies), then there is a tendency to develop open source."
it isn't a tax, more like a mandatory TV subscription
and let me take the opportunity to thank all of you Britons for pay this fee to keep the BBC around. As an American, I trust the BBC news more than any organization; especially for news about American.
Also I love fun comedies like The Office. Jolly good show!
No one here gives a rat. Most people that wanted an mp3 player on slashdot either bought an iPod or some other player for an informed reason. Sony is hoping these things will sell to adults (that's how they get around not supporting MP3's) that having jumped on the digital music boat.
Sony is banking on their assumption that iPod's are the "hip" device for the youth while the walkman will capture an ignored market share that was waiting for a familiar name before making an investment.
Their assumption is flawed because a lot of the first group gives technical advice to the second. I know that if anyone in my little world makes noises about buying one of these things, my browser will be pointing them to www.ipod.com before they can say "but I'm comfortable with Sony."
If he has, there are serious ethical and professional barriers that he has crossed. I follow the field of vision rescue rather carefully and have not heard of these efforts.
Your first sentence is why he went out of his way to avoid publishing in medical journals or what not. Thanks for judging him though. He's just trying to help people. Many doctors are working on fringe treatments, yet not all report their findings. My father also has been able to correct mild hyperopia using an excimer laser for over 7 years! The so called "leaders" in the field are consticted by too much FDA red tape.
My father is an ophthalmologist. He has transplanted full eyes, but his transplant patients can only see lights and shapes (which is still remarkable). When I asked him how long it will take for someone to successfully transplant an eye, he told me that it will happen when surgery becomes more precise through technology. As it is right now, no doctor in the world probably has enough natural talent to attach an optical nerve perfectly. It's just too complicated of a process.
Many Justice Department computer systems, especially at the FBI, are considered outdated. The FBI is spending nearly $600 million to modernize its antiquated systems.
How will the FBI put all that old information on these new systems then?

Very Dave Barry of you.
I bet you he has over 5 billion in real estate- or as economic majors put it "The only MF thing that doesn't depreciate."

Someone needs a nap.
It's ironic that the richest man in the world will be taken down by the only thing in life that is truly free (as in beer).
While increasing your value as a person. Good trade off.
In 10 years he will be eating out of a dumpster Maybe a platinum dumpster filled with caviar. Tens of billions don't disappear that easily.

What's worse, a stern-dotting or a ./ing?
Or put it on a pen drive. That's what I do, it works without a hitch. Also that way I can use the same bookmarks/pluggins at work.
I care more about a web content war. Like when is there going to be an open source initiative to put Flash out of business?
As soon as most of the people on the web have broadband, such content will be king.
Telemarketer Hell? Thats probably hotter than jay walker's hell but cooler than spamer's hell.

Who cares if the recorder is cheap if the dual layer blanks cost over $5 (in 100 packs).
Me too. First Result.
Keep telling that to yourself and maybe one day you'll forget the truth.
Asking for investment advice on Slashdot? What is this, 1999?
