There's no reason (IMHO) not to expose the LVM API to the filesystem layer of course, allowing the filesystem to make these determinations intelligently as ZFS dos.
I love ridiculous logic statements that ignore the philosophy of the arguers.
If you believe the GPL is a necessary angle on software licensing to preserve freedom, then yes. If you do not and instead believe that BSD-style freedom is enough for anyone, then of course it is not. There is no answer without considering the point of view of the reader.
Even we simple earthlings did it with our space-faring satellites and the Mars rover. I'm pretty sure nobody in another galaxy will notice any of our spacecraft for a few thousand years though.
Let's see, Burnout and Super Stardust appear to only have one save game, whereas Armored Core, Oblivion, Devil May Cry, TimeShift, and many others all appear to have multiple saves on my system under my profile. Other games like Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Dirt have multiple save files for their vehicle customization and time attack saves.
Its a personal value-judgement obviously, between decoding semi-random background radiation noise that may or may not contain anything intelligent and attempting to learn how something we know happens actually occurs and solving known problems with that knowledge.
And not enough emphasis is placed on how important good judges are to the system. There are some great judges out there (like cops) and some bad ones (ditto). Unfortunately, it would seem some judges value their jobs more than justice.
The presumption of innocence is upon the entirety of society. I'm sick and tired of people assuming that someone who got arrested was guilty of anything. I understand a police officer who pulls over a speeder for speeding presuming guilt, but the driver gets their day in court if they want it because the police officer is NOT a judge and doesn't have the right to act like one and ascribe guilt, only to lay charges.
Of course, sending out their pricing under NDA with client-specific random differences in the pricing would allow them to know instantly which customer revealed the data.
Nobody outside retail reveals pricing. Pricing is almost always secret, from first class flights for executives to building materials to software.
Ever noticed that websites have "call for quote" instead of a price on enterprise goods? They want their sales people involved and they want to quote you a price based on your size and volume.
This is not Walmart marketing, this is very low volume sales in comparison.
DNS wasn't designed to be a CA and shouldn't be a CA. This is a technical problem with a technical solution and using DNSSEC on the TLDs in place of regular certs is not it.
Circuit boards in general are made with toxic processes and often contain toxic chemicals in trace amounts.
I'm pretty sure the recycling of game console boards is just as bad as computers, meaning that it is a problem, but nowhere near as many game console boards are sold as PC motherboards making the issue barely worth discussing (about 70 million PCs were sold in the US in 2007, not including servers and laptops whereas just a few million game consoles were sold).
Why do you need to alter photos for the media? If you want an altered photo of the general on the DoD's website, that's fine by me. But the AP doesn't want to be distributing fabrications of any type, and there's no reason not to just send in a REAL photo of the general.
It occurs to me that it would be nice if Firefox/IE exposed your local cookie data to third party applications through some sort of generalized API call.
I'm sure its not that hard... but neither is SOCKS support and getting third party apps to support it is still a pain:).
How about you try getting the local school council to allow porn stars to present their job descriptions at highschools before anyone's legally old enough to be one the way the military does?
Sounds crazy, until you think about the military putting thoughts into kids' heads before they're even old enough to join.
Firstly, cops and lawyers are not supposed to presume innocence.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions but the law of the land is that everyone IS innocent until proven guilty, no matter those individuals' opinions and as such, they need to keep those opinions to themselves and do their jobs. If they're biased and can't do so, they need to recluse themselves from the case and let justice be done by someone with a clear mind.
You missed the point entirely; he has nothing against paying for support, its the fact that the supported version of the software ISN'T under the GPL and not OSI compliant. He wants to use OSI certified software AND pay for support for it.
As someone else pointed out, USB can do all of the things the Apple dock connector can do and more. There's plenty of bandwidth and standards already in place. Pin density isn't an issue at all in a serial interface, just look at SAS.
If you felt like being super-intelligent, you could give the music player dual mini USB jacks, for supplementary power on a second jack if necessary. My PSP, my Tomtom GPS and my camera all charge automatically off USB and are powered by it when plugged in as a USB device.
I've played with some nice USB devices that expose themselves as multiple simultaneous devices with two-way communication, its very possible.
Point being, Apple isn't interested in helping accessories or vehicles interoperate with other devices, they're interested in licensing their trademarks to hardware developers to support their now-ubiquitous device.
My GM vehicle is going to be driven into the ground, probably for 10 years, like my last two GM vehicles.
I debated only fuel economy, so vehicle quality is not at issue here for me, and even at the widest disparity in fuel economy, I would save only about $1000 a year in gas driving a Prius, and since I already stated that I paid $17,000 for my car (in Canadian dollars), I'll let you work out how many years that is in price difference.
PS, I love the Tesla -- that's not a Hybrid at all, and a very nicely designed car -- but only if you live in an area whose electricity isn't generated by dirty means in the first place.
Remember, hydro wire power distribution is wasteful; a lot of power goes to heat (minimized by the use of step-up and step-down transformers on longer stretches of hydro lines). Burning coal to fuel electric cars is hardly an improvement, but hopefully power generation gets cleaner with time.
You completely ignored my point, namely that Adobe could have hypothetically ignored all your upstream patches, and while you could tell everyone on Slashdot about your personal success making 64 bit Flash work for you, they'd all have to recompile the sources they got from Adobe after patching against your diff files. Not only that, but others who make patches against your patch would also have to distribute those, until Adobe decided to incorporate them, if ever.
And if your patches ended up doing things Adobe didn't approve of for one reason or another, and never got applied, why do you believe we'd all be happy with retrofitting those patches every time we wanted to install Flash on a computer?
And yes, stuff like this happens -- look up the number of patch-merged distributions for qmail for example until Dan Bernstein clarified the status of the source code. He made it available under almost exactly the terms you give above, and the result was a complete mish-mash of random patches distributed all over the Internet and a few attempts to merge them (and eventually net-qmail).
People who don't understand the belief in Free Software shouldn't believe that the subtleties of things like the GPL or BSD licenses were arrived at by accident -- rather they're designed to preserve freedom for those using the software.
Yes, I have, and usually its self-evident based on the arguments given.
Just look at some of the anti-religious comments made on Slashdot (or most of them) -- they're knee-jerk unthought rationalizations with no real personal freedom of thought reflected at all but rather an application of anti-superstition group-think.
Slashdot Mirror
What you meant to say was "Hans had inter-personal social issues which evolved into violent inter-personal social issues."
That said, I've often found anti-social people can make excellent programmers.
Now go away! :-)

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen an x86 cell phone or PDA yet, and I know a huge number of people who use those to run applications.
Or maybe you're just short-sighted.

They'd better be able to pretend they wanted it to work when they get sued :-)

As an ISP, BT does not "own" the data it transmits over its wires, any more than UPS owns the packages they're transporting between people.
The rest of your argument is then ridiculous.
