I have carried my Nook through airport scanners lots of times. No problem whatsoever. This is unlikely to have anything to do with the e-ink display. It is obviously some other "feature" of the Kindle (just like the "kill switch.")
"I'm not sure what your project is designed to do, so I don't have an opinion about how it stands regarding the GPL. However, I've talked with our lawyer about one specific issue that you raised: that of using simple material from header files.
Someone recently made the claim that including a header file always makes a derivative work.
That's not the FSF's view. Our view is that just using structure definitions, typedefs, enumeration constants, macros with simple bodies, etc., is NOT enough to make a derivative work. It would take a substantial amount of code (coming from inline functions or macros with substantial bodies) to do that."
You don't use kernel headers to write user-mode programs. You use kernel headers to write kernel modules. User-mode programs generally use the C runtime library to communicate with the kernel, and the C runtime library in Linux is licensed under the LGPL. Otherwise, each and every program running under Linux would be GPLed. Tell Oracle to Open-Source their main db. Good luck...
"jurassic park: the little girl going "it's a unix system, i know this"... and then she's flying over computer files, or something. huh?"
The SGI Unix machines of that time, which it was, had such a file manager. X existed already at that point, and there were several file managers from different computer manufacturers, even with animation. Of course, these were commercial-grade machines, you wouldn't have them at home. We had such a machine in the CS lab.
The Kindle format is not standard. Nobody but Amazon uses it. This deal, while a good start, leaves out a large market, all the people who use other readers. Unless they offer these books in ePub format, it is a big fail.
Actually, what I've now read on Apple users forums even they are furious. They expected a real fix and they get what, a rubber band you put around the phone? That looks so slick and awesome.
"it's helpful to mention during the interview that you're there to work, not talk."
So, when is your employer going under? Unlike in college, where you are not supposed to collaborate, in a company, you are required to. Whenever I saw a project failing, it was because of a lack of collaboration, a lack of talking. And even seemingly gossiping around the watercooler is helpful in the big picture of things. Oh, and good managers know that. If you have a manager who discourages that, go find another employer because the company is doomed.
Instead of a license for users, there should be a license to write an OS. Nobody at Microsoft would qualify, judging by the POSes they have released since the 1980s.
Wipe out the disk completely, and reinstall Windows. If you want to do an analysis later, make an image of the disk before wiping it. Run the image in an isolated network, where you can watch what's going on on the wire, but you are not causing harm to other computers.
This is just proof that in any lawsuit, the only people to always win are the lawyers. Here, we have two law firms getting money from Wells Fargo. And if they continue with this kind of stupidity, Wells Fargo may need another bailout...
Indeed. It is the algorithms that matter. A programming language is just a tool to implement the algorithms. You don't go to college to learn how to use a hammer. You go to college to learn how to build things, using different tools, including, but not limited to a hammer.

I was @LAX, and saw the fly-overs and the landing there. Great crowd.

I've pulled the complaint from PACER and uploaded it to docstoc:

How about using the RECAP Firefox plugin , so that it would get uploaded automatically to the Internet Archive?
Forgive the A/C post. Can you toss up a link to that http ad stream, I'd never heard of it.

As usual, Florian Mueller shows he's a troll.

Oh look, it's a Snuggie...
This thing's only been out for a month!! at least give them some time to do their own testing, which they did!
In good companies, testing is done BEFORE a product is released...
Many distributions moved on to Dovecot
And I'm probably a nerd since I actually understand it ;-)

At least you have a prerelease of Android 2.2 already. The Nexus One for AT&T doesn't have it yet...
Frankly, EU and European countries take privacy a lot more seriously, for historical reasons too.
Hmm, have you ever heard of the GEZ in Germany??? They are worse than anything in the US.

Others have done the same thing 6 years back.

Indeed. That has been known for as long as Kingston exists.
They used to have good quality control, though. Apparently not any longer.

That's why I'll won't buy a Kindle. I pre-ordered a Nook, and should get it soon.
They didn't pay anything for x.com. They were x.com originally.

You learn about bubble sort just so you can understand how terrible it is (and how much better quicksort is).
Actually, you learn when Quicksort is better. In the worst case, quicksort is actually as bad as bubble sort.

I canceled my Compuserve account the day AOL bought them. I would never have anything to do with AOL.
