1) Release some code under GPL 2) Say GPL is good in certain cases 3) Tell CEOs that MS supports GPL, but realizes it is not good for operating systems or office suites 4) Keep the profitible part of the business in tact 5) Profit!
So you are sent to jail for not paying, but let out of jail if you can't pay. Some would say they can just donate all their money to charity, but the court would seize that money.
What would they do if I got a hold of the cash and literally burnt it? Would I avoid jail?
We've been gravitating to a democracy, which is causing the problems. However, back-in-the-day, and still a little bit today, the States voted for Senators and Presidents and not the people. The only democratic thing about our Federal government was the House of Representatives.
How can you treat the two differently? Whether it is a company or a person, both entities are looking to violate or actually violating something. If you can't treat individuals special or you introduce a loophole for companies to farm out their violations to individuals...actually quite similar to this instance.
Also, what does cracking the encryption have to do with copyright? Cracking it doesn't mean you watched/streamed any channels. Also, to what TV channels does Dish actually own a copyright? How can they enforce someone else's copyright?
The issue isn't data. It is power. Should excess power be used for TV or for something that has more value. By value, I don't necessarily mean scientific value, but even entertainment value.
Well, that's the point of the parent post. Android is designed for G1-like system resources and the parent is running it on the latest quad-core CPU. Of course it is going to have out-of-this-world performance. It is just very lightweight and lacks most of the features that a standard distribution provide by default.
It will be quite useful for us consultants that have our personal cell phone, Consulting company phone, and usually even a client phone (for long term projects). It is like having 3 email addresses and checking them all at once through an email client.
In addition to that, you can treat your voice mail like email and listen the voice mail only if necessary. This is much quicker for those of us with Blackberries and the like.
Price them out vs. their competition and they are pretty darned competitive for a big government bureaucracy... though it is hard to compare them directly since the USPS will not guarantee a delivery date.
It's pretty easy to be competitive when you are subsidized $3.8 billion. That is over $1000 per man, woman, and child.
I knew this, I just chose to leave it off as it is public global geek knowledge. I didn't realize my PI's wouldn't show up though.
I ended it that you would never really ever get there. Which is true unless you jump to the end. To do that, you have to claim that all bugs are now features. Likewise, you can't get to the end of PI, but typing out all the decimals. You need to jump to the symbol for PI and assume it is done.
I said nothing about median or average income. Americans make more money than anyone else. This is a capitalist country. Of course a poor or uneducated person would be better off somewhere else with a plethora of social benefits. Let them move as there are others that will step in for the opportunity to work their way up. It is natural selection. Imagine if we actively tried to prevent evolution from happening... You may call me "insincere", but those that don't "teach a man to fish" are insincere.
Secondary education is getting expensive because school loans are so freakin' cheap. General Rule: if you subsidize something, you get more of it. When you can get a 2% student loan, you will get more students. This has placed an increase in demand on our relatively steady supply of secondary education causing prices to go up and/or quality to go down. Without the central-government, the prices wouldn't be nearly as high and schools not nearly as packed. Is it a good idea in the end to level the playing field for the young? Yes. But you still have to blame cheap loans by the central-government for the expense, whether justified or not.
You actually think government isn't involved in health care outside of Medicare and Medicaid? Ask any doctor why the prices are so high. And don't forget that employer-managed health insurance (separation of doctor/patient) exists because of government and that big business lobbies big government to cut out competition. Side note: bigger government will only benefit big business and if you think otherwise, it is naive.
This was brought up in the article. It is a great way to do it if you are only adding bug fixes (like in the case of TeX). The goal of TeX is to be bug-free just like the goal of the version is to be Ï. You can keep getting closer and closer and never really get there.
The author of the article states that he doesn't know why we are on StarOffice 9 yet OpenOffice 3, when they are the same suite. Let me help.
StarDivision created StarOffice. They eventually sold StarOffice to Sun. When Sun released StarOffice 5.2, they open sourced it. This created OpenOffice. OpenOffice then had trademark issues and changed it's name to OpenOffice.org.
OOo released 1. Sun rebranded it as StarOffice 6. OOo released 1.1. Sun rebranded it as StarOffice 7. OOo released 2. Sun rebranded it as StarOffice 8. OOo released 3. Sun rebranded it as StarOffice 9.
By "rebranded", I mean they added some stuff with addition to rebranding.
This is similar to Apache Tomcat and IBM WebSphere and JBoss, except in this case the rebranding adds far more to the base product.
I live in America and I've been to Italy. I can tell you that if the US is a 2nd-world country then Italy is third-world country.
You act like healthcare sucks here. If you have a plan, it is the best in the world. Most Americans (like 85%) have a health plan. Of the ones that don't, a third make over $50k and choose not to get a plan and a third already qualify for government coverage but never bothered to pursue it.
Wages are higher here than anywhere else. You just need to work for it.
My guess is that you benefit far more from your government than you pay in...and that is why you find America repulsive. You might only benefit a little bit.
Education (and health care and wages for that matter) are all suffering from central-government control. We still have the best higher-education in the world. That won't last if we keep doing what we are doing, but where will you find a better secondary education?
Slashdot Mirror
That was my impression of the summary. What a stupid comment for an Executive to make.
Is the penalty really stiffer if you kill someone using a gun instead of a knife? Or you rip out their heart with your bare hands?

It will be followed by the release of web app: Google Suicide

The member organizations of the RIAA and MPAA literally owns or owns the rights to the copyright for the material.
Dish "leases" the right to distribute channels and never has and never will own the content (except their own channels, like Comcast Sports).

Democracy is not a suitable way to form government, that is why the US is not a democracy

They can generate the extra electricity with exercise;
Add more solar panels;
Or just have a nice little PBNR on board
So you are telling me we landed on the moon and didn't bring back any cheese?
Luckily they bring the ladies along; that eliminates the need for the Internet and TV.

First part is great.
As for the second part, why would I want to ditch caller ID?

My bad, $12 per man, woman, and child. Which would come to over 50 cents per stamp instead of 44.

But this is the US and Russia and you are talking about capitalism.
