The French parlament are in fact discussing this, the proposed french law is called "Droit d'Auteur et aux Droits Voisins dans la Société de l'Information" (DADVSI)
"...for Information Society"? Don't they work for Peace And Love, Inc?
Maybe the guy is a supergenius and is allowed to answer like that, but his answers just rubbed me the wrong way. The interview seemed to be of the form:
Q: Serious question?
A: That depends on what the meaning of the word "question" is. That's the question, whether 'tis nobler... And speaking of "depends", did you know that 3% of old people in Korea wear Depends? Short, informationless answer.:(
I was hoping for something more thoughtful and substantial rather than flippant stream-of-consciousness.
The average Joe who finds / steals any of our external drives (which has never happened thankfully) would be hard pressed to even figure out the filesystem (Ext3).
Ahh... that explains why I couldn't mount those drives I just stole from you. Thanks for the tip!
Anyways, with that in mind, what exactly does the author mean by "Trojan Horse"?
In the context of the article, it means that software developers will sneak unapproved open source onto their own machines and projects, and then point to their own beneficial use of open source as an example of why open source should be used further in the organization. Analogy to the Greeks fooling the Trojans into accepting into their city a big, hollow, wooden horse as a gift, when the horse was filled with Greek soldiers.
Regardless of what the article says, did anyone notice the kewl "font size up/down" buttons to make the article text personally suited to your very own set of eyes?

If you have ever read any of Rice's work, you would quickly realize that little to nothing in here is from her.
I know what you mean... Rice would have written something like "The United States and the European Union of Gay Vampires have long worked together toward the goal of global access to the international blood supply."
I think the unmanned aerial vehicle might be doable for that cost. I mean, the hard bit is the AI. Other than that you've just got a model aeroplane being controlled internally rather than be someone on the ground with a transmitter.
Sure, but knowing NASA, you'll probably end up with something like this in the rules:
10.4.2.3.1 - Payloads.
10.4.2.3.1.1 - Size of Payloads.
Payloads may be no smaller than a cube one meter by one meter by one meter.
10.4.2.3.1.2 - Weight of Payloads.
Payloads may be no lighter than 300 (three hundred) kilograms.
My advice to prospective employers: Go for someone who is trainable, not someone who is fully trained up. That way, you don't pay for a fully trained person who can answer your every question, but you pay (less) for someone who is eager to learn.
This would put enormous pressure on the price of Apple's own computers -- something the company is naturally keen to avoid.
This is one case where I would gladly pay more for a box, because the hardware has been certified by Apple. I'm sure Apple is concerned that their O/S work correctly, rather than hope that it will run on any old shitbox.
Don't buy the "CD" to begin with, write to the artist and Sony telling them why.
Yeah, I can see it now:
Dear Artist,
rant, rant, whine, piss, moan!
Sincerely Yours,
Vera N Gree
Dear Ms Gree,
Sounds of clanking leg-irons
Sincerely Yours,
Artist
Dear Sony,
rant, rant, whine, piss, moan! So there!
Sincerely Yours,
Vera N Gree
Dear Ms Gree,
Thank you for getting in touch with Sony. We value you as a customer. In response to your request, please accept these coupons for free Sony DRM'd CD's. Now get back in your couch and watch TV like a good consumer.
