I see what you mean, but "only for observing the Earth's climate" rings a worrisome bell if we will have to trust the data.
Yes, there might well have been a more belligerent outcome...
Yet, tampering with climate data satellites is bad enough, considering the financial implications surrounding it. BTW, does Ron Paul have any hacking skillz?
Why do they pulish their first nail, in the the infamous non-Appple/non-Android mobile phone market coffin?
However fine the N9 was, however fine this new one end up beinf, I guess it is too late. The market share for the software is not there The hardware perspective is not really there any longer.
It is all about the software, or, as it is perceived today, the "apps".
Yet it contains no higher truths really, really interesting or useful for mankind. A secret society for divine powers? Hmm. How non-erudite isn't that?
Asking at Slashdot is probably one of the few places which will give you an even higher number of competitors. Did you really think you were alone in that dream?;)
Don't distribute it on anything but a usb stick. Put it in a small white plastic box, square with rounded corners. Charge $800 for each copy, make an end-user shrink wrap license which forces you to e-sign to activate the video, etc.
That would be the Jobs way, overpriced white commodities.
Oh, but I did eventually liked the iPhone, just not Apple.
Why not nominate the Nobel Peace Prize to the Science Editorial Board. They are correct in that "political maps that seek to advance disputed territorial claims have no place in scientific papers".
Remove tax deductions for churches and charity. Why should churches be exempt when other companies aren't? Apple, just to name one, has more loyal followers than most registered churches. The money stream from "charity" to the needing is spurious and motivated by _any_ whim. Ron Paul needs to shave somewhere else, http://www.ronpaulsalon.com/.
Smack an Apple Fanboi Day would be even relevant. A "Steve Jobs Day"... So pathetic for a... CEO? Come on. His computers sucked and the iPhones were overpriced anyway.
Smack an Apple Fanboi Day would be even relevant, indeed.
In kicking off the Macworld Expo keynote, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled a new Macintosh web browser named Safari. Jobs said the browser was "based on standards", "works with any Web site", has much-improved performance over IE (page-loading speed is "three times faster", JavaScript performs twice as fast and it launches "40% faster" - comparisons to Netscape 7.0 shows similar performance gains on the Macintosh platform). The KDE connection: "[f]or its Web page rendering engine, Safari draws on software from the Konqueror open source project. Weighing in at less than one tenth the size of another open source renderer, Konqueror helps Safari stay lean and responsive." The good news for Konqueror: Apple, which said that it will be "a good open source citizen [and] share[] its enhancements with the Konqueror open source community", has today sent all changes, along with a detailed changelog, to the KHTML developers.
Stallman who made Linux possible. No I won't call it FNU/Linux or whatever.
Stallman who made Steve Jobs mac OS possible... Without the GPL license, and applied in a dual license, a lot of the MacOS show-offs wouldn't have been there... Have you ever hurd of Safari, just to mention one.
Still, Stallman has made is an enormous impact on planet Earth, quite possibly much larger than that of Jobs. Stallman is just the unhurd of version of Jobs, and w/o turtle-neck. The GPL (which has Linux as a subset) made it for a hurd of other free software licenses as well.
Stallman's contributions stand on their own, whether or not correct and/or not politically correct.

Whoever wins the apps, wins the market.
So, sorry Nokia, too late. Again!!!
What do they expect? "Your country is inhabitable"
No this wasn't Arizona from the 50s or from the locals formerly living around Bikini, Madrid, Harrisburg or Chernobyl.
Royal Society, thank you! This is how science management should be done.
Now we have to wait for the other academies to follow their lead.
Or, have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE
Abbreviations are a pain.
The content of the 105 pages is, well, sad. It is by all means like something out of Daniel Brown's or Umberto Eco's books
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Da_Vinci_Code or the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prague_Cemetery
Yet it contains no higher truths really, really interesting or useful for mankind. A secret society for divine powers? Hmm. How non-erudite isn't that?
Still, brilliant decipher work!
Sony Ericsson is probably a minefield. If they launch the combined Sony and Ericsson patent portfolio against MS, the outcome is not obvious.
Why would it even be Linux-related?
Android could be using any OS underneath its layer. Probably even Hurd, even if I don't know how well it would play with theGPLv3.
That is the main weakness of Android as I see it.

Bravo!

Here is the latest article http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20111019223707715
"The trial date in Oracle v. Google, previously set for October 31, has been vacated. No new date has been set. "
So, my guess is that Google awaits the outcome for this trial.
i guess it will increase the risk of potential lawsuits
as there may be more money and people involved
so, if your tv is on in the background, watch out

Create Open3D so that all makers are in.
Now competition is killing itself.
The 3D market is very close to a halt, for movies/gaming.
There really needs to be a larger base that nVidia plying with their own tool. HANDS ON THE BED!
In other news, the greedy condemn Assange.
Formerly Very Large Array?
Why not a British actor?
Flipping pages would be the end of Slashdot.
No way I would flip 150 pages to see all comments.
NO WAY.
That idea must die painfully in a warm place.
"What planet are you from?"
Earth, the only planet possible as far as I know.
"Stallman didn't make Linux possible, BSD did. Are you suggesting no other compilers or debuggers existed?"
Two things. BSD is not a compiler or a debugger. BSD is a license or an OS.
Compare http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php with http://www.gnu.org/gnu/thegnuproject.html
"Safari doesn't use any of Stallman's code, and if LGPL didn't exist (a license Stallman wasn't a fan of), another would have been used."

Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHTML and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit to see how Apple developed into a non-helpful open source citizen.
"Steve Jobs wanted to make a computer for everyone, Stallman couldn't give a damn how difficult they are to use so long they use his license."
Steve Jobs wanted to make money from everyone, Stallman couldn't give a damn how much they charge as long they use the GPL license.
"HURD:0 Apple:Billions" :)
Agreed, on many levels!
"Apple doesn't even use gcc anymore and its days may be numbered."
Don't worry, breath deeply and slowly. Apple will probably survive Jobs demise.
"Stallman who?"
Stallman who made Linux possible. No I won't call it FNU/Linux or whatever.
Stallman who made Steve Jobs mac OS possible... Without the GPL license, and applied in a dual license, a lot of the MacOS show-offs wouldn't have been there... Have you ever hurd of Safari, just to mention one.

Richard Stallman is unfortunate. Being correct but not politically correct is a tough equation.
