Yahoo WAS a bad citizen in this case, and was slammed accordingly. Under US law, this result seems foolish and foreign, but we in the US do not get to impose our constitution on France -- a place brutally savaged by the Nazis. France applied its own law as against its own corporate citizen and its parent, a citizen that faced pretty bad and ugly facts in its own defense, using traditional notions of extraterritoriality.
But yahoo.fr DID ban those sales. Yahoo.fr is the French subsidiary. That wasn't good enough for the French court, they insisted that Yahoo.com (which was the US version) ban them too. That's what got everyone hot and bothered.
What's next, letting Saudi Arabia determine what is and isn't acceptable in the way of female pictures?
No doubt that the symmetry between Maxwell's equations and Einstein's equations is stark, but does this also mean that they are equivalent in meaning and applicability?
If superstring theory is correct, then they've been known to be equivalent since the 1920s. The Kaluza-Klein equations show that in a 5-dimensional space-time (4xspace + 1xtime) or higher, Einstein's equations and Maxwell's equations both come out. See Kaku's Hyperspace for more info.
Shit, i is one of the most used letters in English or any other Roman Script based language for that matter. For that reason, all my loops are indexed by ii, jj, kk
I tend to use "j", for that reason but in vim, there's always \<i\> to look for the solo letter "i".
There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped,or turned back, for their private benefit. -- The Judge in "Life-Line"
My understanding is that the spark is considered "Creation", and that that's where the work comes in. Remember, Hashem did the WORK of CREATION in 6 days and on the seventh day he rested. So (in my imperfect understanding), creation is forbidden.
Oh, and observant Jews don't cook on Shabbat, either.
A better example would be CML2. It was pretty close to ready. ESR just needed to fix some bugs and make the interface closer to what we've been using for years. Did he? No, he spent all his time adding stuff like autoconfig that nobody would use anyway and flaming up a storm. He completely ignored the grievous xconfig bugs and performance issues. The design of his CML2 language was weird and needlessly complex. Using Python was motivated more by language advocacy rather than design decision. Linus was correct to deny him.
Does this mean we don't get the kernel configuration adventure game?

I think he was using it as an example.
Just imagine your "existence" depending on the date of your last Slashdot posting...
/. every day?
You mean it doesn't? Crap, I didn't have to check
Make sure it mails out the encryption key to your
Norwegian history database!
the "convenient, accessible self-destruct device". But do they have the murder device with the "unnecessarily slow dipping mechanism"?
Hell, it's been over 20 years. I could be wrong. But I could have sworn that there was a DELETE/ERASE key that made a lace column.
Didn't know how to insert, but I seem to recall a "ERASE" key, which punched all 12 rows. (If you did a whole card of them, you had a lace card).
How about this:
$JOB KP=26
I believe that Villaneuva's letter to Microsoft does that rather nicely.
Slashdot.org has not been non-profit for a very long time
/. start making a profit? :-P
When did
To be honest, I think the Sklyarov case is bogus, too. But....
They had a (somewhat ersatz) physical presence in the US (through their E-Commerce server), and sold product in the US.
If the Guardian is not charging for content, has no physical presence (even an ersatz one), then the cases are different.
That said, FREE DMITRY!
For a start (just to give you the idea) turn the fibbonacci series into a loop.
long n1 = 1;
long n2 = 1;
printf("%d\n",1);
while (1)
{
long tmp = n2;
n2 += n1;
n1 = tmp;
printf("%ld\n",n1);
}
I like the slogan on that page. I think it should go on T-Shirts.
We're the RIAA. Shut up and listen!
They were originally from Iowa, then they moved to SD (South Dakota), then they moved to SD (San Diego).
Hey, come on. Remember, Gateway's original ads ran... "COMPUTERS FROM IOWA??????"

See this Heinlein quote.
The author was Heinlein, the story was Life-Line.

Great. Now we've given them an idea.
One of us had better patent this quick, so we can sue anyone who tries it!
The former monopoly provider, Deutsche Telekom, is forced to rent even end-user lines to competitors at discount (mainly self-cost) prices,
Because the courts just threw out that that part ot the Telecom Reform Act of 96.
Stop downloading the MP3z, primarily (ISOz are bad, too, but that practice doesn't seem to have caught on *quite* as much .. yet).
So, when I downloaded my ISOs of Mandrake 8.2, I'm doing something illegal?
You're right. My bad. The correct moderation should have been:
-1, LAME joke.
