Ugh, why would want to mirror the css? That page is nearly impossible to read all the way through without getting a headache, for me at least. There's a reason pages have margins...
It's almost strange to earn money writing open source.
No, it's not. Linus, RMS, AC, BP, among many others have been getting paid to write free software for years.
Part of the stigma associated with OSS is that since it's associated with "volunteers," it is considered hobby level. Lots of people get paid to work on OSS, and ever increasing large software companies (e.g. IBM and Apple) have staff members working exclusively on OSS.
Too bad they haven't really figured out how to make it sound more human. I read an article a few (maybe 5) years ago that suggested that it didn't sound right because there was no breathing, as with human speech.
That would be cool, but I'm waiting for the heavy breathing version;)
If the GPL is invalid, I'm not sure that's what it *would* revert to.
I would imagine that since the code is copyrighted by individual developers, and the license that they granted you is no longer valid, that you would no longer have it under license and would have to destroy it.
That guy should be lucky that nobody used his website to kill people.
A major point is that none of the bomb making instructions were on his website. He simply provided links to other websites that provided the instructions. Those other websites are still up, and there are many other sources for this same information.
As a part time university teacher I found out when one student was giving me trouble that he had been giving others trouble as well. I was not told of the trouble because...
So what? This is a university, where the students are adults (at least legally.) If a high school student has behavior problems, it falls on all of his teachers to correct it.
The reason was the boss said that even though she said yes, her body language said no.
Oh yeah, but with that short skirt, she was just asking for it...
Wrong. You are still guaranteed freedom of speech on private property. However, you do not have a right to be on private property, so they can kick you off if they don't like what you are saying.
From article 6: This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land;
A private institution cannot restrict the rights granted in the Constitution. That's why there are lawsuits when someone's civil rights are violated.
... was leaning toward a switch to Linux, the upstart computer operating system whose open-source code is continually improved by volunteer programmers worldwide.
How many big contracts have to be won by Linux companies before the papers realize that it's been around for a dozen years? Or that not everybody working on OSS is a volunteer?
people are using technology for what it was inteded to do!
At the heart of Google's caching dilemma lies a thorny legal problem involving a core Web technology: When is it acceptable to copy someone else's Web page, even temporarily?
When your server and pages say it's alright (or don't say that it's not alright.) The standards for the web are very clear on this, but non techie companies (and some judges) don't seem to get this.
This reminds me of the issues of "deep linking" that everybody was suing over a couple of years ago. That's exactly what the web was designed to do, but these johnny-come-lately companies put sites up, and expect people to stop using the technology for what it was designed for.
The Pentagon should only be arranging the delivery of mail, which would include the absentee ballots. Once an online voting method is in general use, they should provide access to the online voting system. The Pentagon should not be involved in the collection of votes, or implementation of said system.
WTF is the Pentagon doing running a voting program? I could see DARPA being involved, maybe, but the Pentagon? The only involvement the military should have in an election is to give servicemembers time off to vote.
But only if Company A patents a particular method for compressing music. If Company A gets a patent covering all music compression (which the patent office has been granting), then companies B..Z are SOL.
The patent office is out of control. It used to be that you had to have a physical object to patent (or at least it's blueprints,) but you couldn't patent an idea (e.g. the Ace comb has a patent, but they couldn't patent the process of combing hair.) The idea of putting a patent on a method is ridiculous. What if Henry Ford had a patent for "a method of transportion using a combustible engine," or if someone else patented "a method for securing one's belongings using a device on hinges with a lock attached to one's house?"

Submittor ain't no word I ever heared about.

Christ, are all you people retarded? Did you even bother to look at who posted that article (the guy who started this site?)
Stop responding to a troll that wasn't even a troll, but a not so subtle attempt at humor.
I don't think that you can get insulin out of a body by flogging.

makeashorterlink.com ? I think I'll start a competing site: thisismucheasiertotypethantheoriginial.com.

Dude, you obviously have a hardware defect on the Linux box. No software can fix a broken hard drive.
I hope you are getting paid by the hour...
Actually Madonna's record company is owned by AOL/Time Warner.
