My paint brush is just a stupid, hairy, paint-sucking stick that sits on the pallet. I am the one that gives it life, not the other way around. Whatever canvas I use doesn't really affect my life at all- I just use the thing.
Just like the hedge trimmers I bought last weekend- I went to the store, bought some, and used them. It wasn't a decision that would affect my life- just those few moments as I trimmed the bushes.
My whole point is...don't confuse a brush with real life. Real life is about people, love, adventure, relationships, hardships and successes.
Brushes are about painting fences and naked women.
Au contraire, it is officially ("Judge Jackson issued his findings of fact on November 5, 1999 that Microsoft's dominance of the personal computer operating systems market constituted a monopoly.").
I had heard that this ruling was about to "expire." So we won't be able to call them a Monopoly anymore. We can still use "convicted monopolist" though probably...
Of course, this is based on hearsay, any info would be appreciated...
Bloat? Opera with BitTorrent is a smaller download than Firefox, and BT downloads in Opera work exactly like HTTP or FTP downloads (there is no UI clutter).
That must mean that Firefox is the "Libraries of Congress" of program bloat? Anything less bloated than Firefox is not bloated?
"Either you're with bloat in the browser world or you aren't. Which is it?"
I'm for making it easier and more convenient to do stuff online. I hope Firefox gets a built in BT client too.
Ahhhhhh....I understand, you are pro-bloat, you could have just said that up front...
And as far as getting references to the 10 commandments removed -- it ain't just the atheists. Don't forget about those who follow paths other than the Abrahamic religions. Even many Christians and Jews agree that the 10 commandments ought not to be displayed.
Why would you post a list of "laws" you are not legally required to follow in a house of secular law?
Hmm... What do you call it when you are warned that your coffee is dangerously hot by the state safety officials but you decide to go ahead and do it anyway because it allows you to squeeze out more juice per grind?
Since I started posting my little songs up on the net I have contacted by BMI.. I am going to join, but only because they can help me if an artist took something i have written and recorded it/ changed it. etc and proffited without compensation or permision from me..
You should be very careful with your contract terms. If you sign away your copy-rights you may not be allowed to license your own music how you see fit. Hence you may not be able to post your little songs on the net anymore.
If all you need is a lawyer to defend your own copyrights you should just retain your own counsel when an issue arises.
Personally, while I consume my fair share (of porn), I'm still only primarily interested in it from an academic perspective, as resources of human sexuality in online space.
Id hazard a guess that for 99% of the people who take advantage of the 'free software' movement do so precisely because its zero purchase cost, not because it gives them freedom of code.
Perhaps, but how many do it so as to be free of proprietary systems? With MS for example you never know when critical software will be end-of-lifed. When the source is Free you don't have to worry about this. This is a direct consequence of the ideal instead of the price.
But you've never had the right to copyright infringement.
Actually (in the US at least) you do have the right to copyright infringement. Though only in very special circumstances. This can include personal backups etc. though it is only useful as a defense on a case by case basis.
I don't think Bush can mess up the SCOTUS any more than it is already. Please don't forget that it was the left leaning justices who gave your local officials the right to take your property if they deem it to be in the public interest. And I believe most local public officals can be easily purchased by a WalMart looking for a new home.
What a pointless partisan attack. Don't you forget the the one resigning is one of the people who wrote the most scathing rebuttals.
The interesting point for me is the US companies who participate in helping the Chinese government censor their internet (ie Microsoft,Google, Cisco Systems). I understand there is heaps of money to be made, but I question the integrity of their decision. IMO ethically it is *wrong*, but does that mean these companies can be faulted?
There we go, all fixed. You can't just leave them off the list to try and increase knee-jerk-ism by listing MS. Lets try and be honest with our application of business ethics.
Copyright was not meant to protect consumers. It was meant to protect the rights of the guy who wrote the material. It is to protect the right of the supplier.
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
Let me repeat that since people seem unable to grasp it so often: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts...
Promoting the arts is the goal, protecting the rights is the mechanism!
So what Sophos is saying is that buying a new PC and connecting it to the internet to access Windows Update is too dangerous. By the time the average PC/Windows users connects to Windows Update, they have a 50% chance of being compromised.
No, actually, if you buy a new PC and connect it to the internet the firewall is turned on by default. You would have to manually turn off the firewall to be considered an unprotected Windows system.
Unless you buy your system from someone who is still installing pre SP2 Windows I guess...
The main flaw in your argument is that math is constant, while language evolves. This is completely natural and more importantly, desirous. Rigid adherence to outdated grammatical constructs can only hinder communication. A perfect example would be the adoption of "google" as a verb; would you prefer to say "navigate to google's site and use it to search for widgets" or "google widgets"
Well, maybe some time in the future "should of" will be correct, but right now it's incorrect-ness (heh) is a constant.
The first ninja scroll comes to mind as well as Ghost in the Shell. Cowboy Bebop was fantastic in so many ways. I did like Gundam and yes, even Gundam Wing was SPECTACULAR IMHO. The constant struggles over the validity of war were great in Wing. I also really liked Akira...
I mean it was great 10 years ago when I first started watching anime,
Of course, it helps that all the titles you listed were made in the 80's. There is good anime coming out, but like all forms of art you need to sort through the crap.
My suggestions: Paranioa Agent is likely the best series I have seen in a long time, made by the guy who did Perfect Blue which was the first psychological-thriller anime I have ever seen.
Also good is the series Gantz, though it has that wierd sexually repressed sense of humor people have been complaining about.
This hostility is so boring and extremely old fashioned and reactionary.
I have seen exactly the same thing in the 70s when developers were complaining about procedural code, and wanted to keep their 'GOTO's. {etc)
Maybe it is because all of these things actually did slow the systems down. But then hardware increases made it less noticeable?

Eclipse 3.1 Released
·
· Score: 1
How can you have never have heard of Eclipse? As any developer you should always be evaluating the best tools. Guess what a 'java ide' google search returns as it's number 1 result?
That is of course, if he wanted to use an IDE in the first place. I personally HATE them and avoid them like the plague. Give me a simple editor with syntax/keyword highlighting at the most. That is a completely personal preference however, but not following every IDE on the planet (or even the most popular) says NOTHING about experiece or coding skills.

Um, wow. You actually believe that "people in Iraq", i.e., normal citizens of Iraq, have anything whatsoever to do with this?
True, but how many of their relatives can one kill before they get involved?
The war we fought against Germany and Japan brought us 50 years of peace.
Yeah, 'cause WWII was the last war the US was involved in...

Good art communicates that which cannot be said.
So a book of poems or prose can never be good art?
Nice semantic riposte (not being snide, really).
Of course, the beauty of poetry would be that it says what can be said and also says what can't be said.
I am not so sure it is the calculator's fault the user doesn't understand significant digits.
If you put 10 digits in you can get 10 digits out accurately. (very simplified....)

Under the new law it will also be illegal to manufacture a computer keyboard with the forward slash '/' key.
Phew! I was scared there a minute but then I rememberd that I code in Python.
