Actually they did. Ebook prices dropped everywhere but Amazon.
Wow. Are you so enamoured with Apple that you have to deny inconvenient facts? From the first paragraph of TFA:
A federal judge on Friday approved a settlement in which Apple could begin paying $400 million to as many as 23 million consumers related to charges that it violated antitrust law by conspiring with publishers to raise e-book prices and thwart efforts by Amazon.
See that? It says "raise ebook prices".
I am constantly amazed by the number of people on/. who appear to support Apple in their quest to make ebooks more expensive for consumers.
2. Sun owes me $1m for each JDK I downloaded back in the day.
To date I haven't received payment.
You are not so naiive as to think that contracts actually apply to big companies when being sued by ordinary people do you? Contracts only work the other way round in the USA.
The owners of this hotel are no doubt becoming familiar with the Streisand effect right now.
OTOH, £36 for a hotel room? What did they expect? I know it's Blackpool, but still, no one should expect much for £36 pounds.
What I see reading that is that the OpenRC was not seriously considered. There are a bunch of claimed requirements that appear to rule out OpenRC, but I don't see those requirements tracked back to any benefits. Perhaps the justification for those requirements is obvious to those who made the decision, but it isn't obvious to me.
Taking the requirements in turn:
* Lack of integration with kernel-level events to properly order startup.
So what? OpenRC has dependency built in and the added improvement of integration with kernel-level events would bring only a very minor improvement.
* No mechanism for process monitoring and restarting beyond inittab.
In my experience, this is solving a non-problem. I don't experience processes dying and needing an immediate re-start without any other action.
* Heavy reliance on shell scripting rather than declarative syntax.
So what?
* A fork and exit with PID file model for daemon startup.
Perhaps we both should look up the word. While we're at it, let's look up Obama's preferred policy, "single payer". Wouldn't it be interesting if the two terms were synonymous.
Perhaps it would be interesting if the two terms were synonymous, but they are not. Had Obama advocated for all healthcare providers being directly employed by the government, all healthcare facilites owned by the government, that would be socialism. But he didn't. There is a difference between the government directly providing medical care and the government paying private companies to provide medical care. One is socialism and the other isn't.
But you don't care. All you care about is that he is left of your own views and any suggestions that he is not socialist don't fit into your ideology, so they can't be true, can they?
but most Democrats in office today would have been considered moderate Republicans even twenty-five years ago.
Yes, the Koch brothers and others have been successful in moving the center of US politics way to the right. The Tea Party is one of the strategies that they have used to achieve this.
Full Disclosure: I am a network ops engineer for Comcast.
Please tell me why (a few years ago), Comcast decided to block my VPN ESP packets. Yes, the VPN established a connection, but the payload was never delivered.
What network reason was there for this? Other people noticed it at the time and I can still see reports of this going on.
Clearly, your claim to transport all packets equally has not always been true and may not be true now.
Serious question. Forget about questions of fairness, step back and look at first principles and evaluate whether the regulations are of value to society. Were these rules ever necessary? If so, why? Do the same reasons apply to Uber and Lyft?
Some are clearly necessary. Others not so much. Unfortunately, the regulations around medallions are often abut revenue for the city, which merely pushes up costs for the taxi drivers. In return, the taxi drivers get a limit on competition.
Had the same problem until I started signing my email with DKIM. Suddenly google and friends were accepting it without problems.
I have good DKIM and SPF, and Google accepts my email, but with a fresh Gmail account, it goes into the spam folder. I know that my DKIM and SPF is good because Google sends me DMARC reports saying that my emails passed.
Regarding the person from yahoo rejecting my email - I can confirm that's not the case. I set up a yahoo account for my self, brand new, and can't email it.
I think that you misunderstand the reply from Yahoo. Yahoo is saying that *someone* flagged emails from your IP address as spam, so now, Yahoo won't accept *any* emails from your IP address.
Question for others: why is Yahoo rejecting the emails with a 4XX code if Yahoo will never accept the emails. Why not a 5XX code? Using a 4XX code forever seems like poor etiquette.
I should add that my domains are set up with spf and dkim records and I get dmarc reports indicating passes. My mail server has correct and matching forward and reverse DNS. My IP addresses do not show up in any reputable blacklists.
For Yahoo, set up DMARC with addresses to get DMARC reports.
I did this for one domain and found that Yahoo (and only Yahoo) was failing on my SPF with "permerr". I tracked this down to an excessive spf record (or perhaps an spf record that exceeded the limit on dns lookups).
Bummer. I was hoping that earlier post about using Comcast as my relay would solve it.
A Comcast residential account can be used to send emails through Comcast's servers with any "from" address (using my Comcast login and smtp auth). I just tried this and it worked. I suggest that you try it with your business account.
Contact Hotmail. Somewhere there is a link to contact them about email delivery.
Hotmail was blocking emails from my VPS, but after I contacted them, they put my IP on a list for "conditional accept" -- which the describe as allowing a limited number of emails to be sent from my IP to hotmail. It's enough for my small family server.
Gmail, on the other hand, tends to put emails from my VPS into spam boxes unless there is a history of the recipient receiving from my server.
I now have a problem with mxlogic. mxlogic blocks my IP address with a 550 code. They did not respond to me contacting them.
Basically, too many big email services use block lists that are not updated with enough frequency. My problems are not caused by nearby IP addresses -- the ISP has put in place a transparent email proxy which analyzes and rejects spam (if no TLS) and limits outgoing email rates (if TLS used).
Er, yes. Did you even read the page you linked to?
There were settlements in 1981 and 1991. What happened was that Apple Corp alleged (multiple times) that Apple Computer violated the settlements.
Try to create a computer hardware brand called Windows, advertise your new Windows machine and tell me how many seconds it lasts until you have Microsoft's lawyers on your ass.
Windows is a bad example. Just look a the history of Lindows/Linspire. Microsoft paid for the name to be changed to Linspire.
And neither Apple (the music company) nor Apple (the computer company) was able to prevent the other from using the name, even after the computer company dove into the music world (though they settled that without a trial)
There was a settlement between the companies about the use fo the name long before Apple Computer went into the music business.
The Keys are a chain of islands with a very different culture from the rest of Florida. They even called themselves the "Conch Republic" at one point during a political stunt.
Rent there, don't buy, unless it is a boat. Rising sea levels could turn your beautiful beachfront property into underwater property. The boat might help you escape.
And if Netflix decided to host their service is Honduras because it was cheap, would US ISPs be required to run trunks across the Gulf of Mexico because you decided you wanted that to have priority?
If there were a functioning market for consumer Internet services, yes. ISPs would be forced to provide adequate bandwidth or risk losing their customer base to a competitor.

There would not have been a problem if Apple had tried to lower the price of ebooks.
Which makes me wonder why they stayed in Blackpool? It's some distance off the direct route. Did they want to see the tower? The illuminations?

Not sure what advantage this brings.

A VPN that had been working, suddenly quit "due to NAT"? No, there was no NAT involved at either end.
Very funny. Or did you not mean it as a joke? Then perhaps you need to look up the word socialist.
Obama doesn't "lean socialist", he just doesn't lean quite so far to the right as many US politicians.

Your argument is undercut by the fact that Comcast refused to install Netflix's content servers inside Comcast's network.
