The US system isn't fair because the better-funded legal team will simply have an advantage due to the unavoidable expenses in analyzing law and collecting evidence.
What are these unavoidable expenses? Are any of them not self imposed by the legal industry?
While new battery technology is very important in our current time, the sheer number of duplicate stories and borderline advertisement/marketing stories on Slashdot about these new batteries, WITH a combines lithium FUD scare at the same time no less, sours these stories.
Seconded. Does anyone else remember when Slashdot stories linked to journals and essays rather than blogs and press releases? Hopefully the click-through counts reflect the/. reader's ability to avoid anything with "blog" or "gadget" or perhaps these days even "google" in the URL.
I have to disagree with 1. Granted it's not like a BASIC derivative, but other languages also use very similar syntax. My team deals with both daily, and the differences are significant.
I was actually thinking of JavaFX when I wrote 2...
3: Fair enough. I've met folks who can render a few rows from a DB into HTML via PHP and call themselves developers... Then they ask me how to submit a form, put data in a session... and worse, they don't ask about security, the architecture, etc...
Re 4, JavaScript at the OS level has already happened thanks to Windows Scripting and JScript, and of course we've had OS scripting for a very long time... AREXX, AppleScript, bat, sh, etc. The trick is to sandbox it appropriately (which often doesn't happen, and that's where the exploits come from...).
5: True enough, and debugging someone else's code is much more difficult that writing it in the first place.
Wait, since when is there a difference? I consider myself a developer, but my applications are only available on the web..
The difference is really understanding the technologies you're using, the context you're using them in, and effective ways to use them. I didn't get the impression that the OP necessarily had that understanding.
If I've got Javascript on the front end, and say Java working the back end... How much more Java can I get? I'm a developer and I can't think of anything MORE front then the front end...
If you're talking about Taking Javascript and making it more integrated with the actual web page display, AJAX already handles most of that. We don't need Javascript to become like PHP, where you're using PHP to write your HTML inside of your PHP script tag inside of an HTML body.
1) JavaScript is not Java,despite the name. 2) You can get lots more Java if that's what you want. 3) Are you a developer, or a guy who makes web apps? 4) The OS desktop is MORE front than the front end of your web app running inside a browser. 5) PHP (and JSP among others) doesn't have to be written like that.
So, if someone just happened to guess that if he filed the key blank a certain way, the door would be open, which of course indicates he is entitled to enter. Useful logic.
It's not about entitlement to enter, it's about not taking reasonable precautions to prevent entry.
Why does it have such an ancient and shitty graphics card? The GeForce FX series were terrible in their day and not worth the gold in their circuits today.
It's got Quadro FX graphics hardware, not GeForce FX. No, they aren't particularly similar, despite the name.
No. They would be crazy to use this scheduler anyway since it won't scale to their 4096 cpu machines. The only way is to rewrite it to work that way, or to have more than one scheduler in the kernel. I don't want to do the former, and mainline doesn't want to do the latter. Besides, apparently I'm a bad maintainer, which makes sense since for some reason I seem to want to have a career, a life, raise a family with kids and have hobbies, all of which have nothing to do with linux.
Which is not to say that it might not find it's way into the Ubuntu Desktop mainline patchset, for example. Sure it might not make sense for the mainline kernel, but it surely makes sense for a user focused distro like Ubuntu - they already have patched base and server kernels, so why not a genuine desktop targeted kernel?
Anyone who uses Slackware regularly understands much more about Linux than your average debian / ubuntu user, and is certainly not going to be burned by the "complexity" of a package management system. This is because much of the configuration is manual.
It's often quoted... if you use Ubuntu, you'll learn Ubuntu. If you use Slackware, you'll learn Linux.
I've been using Slackware since '96, and I continue to use it in various capacities today. Installing Slackware and playing with it, writing programs for it, was seriously the best thing I ever did for my knowledge of computers and for Unix environments. I have skills that far surpass any of my co-workers or friends, and have often been the only one that could sort out issues with any sort of Unix environment.
However , i doesn't favor developers or companies ( who are forced to share their work for free ).
Only if you're deriving your work from other GPLed work. If it's entirely your own work, you're 100% free to keep the code closed-source and/or use whatever license you see fit.
I'm so sick of hearing people crying about how they can build on another's work at no cost, but then have to reciprocate. Either call the friggin whaambulance, or STFU and code it all yourself.

Clearly it will need to be many, many cats.
Every time you do a search, Google kills a kitten. (Or not, depending on the result)
A submarine comparison seems more apt (but they have the advantage that they can pull oxygen and water out of their environment).
And food, to some degree, although I don't know if they do that regularly...
(At least in a country where the government is still concerned with public opinion.)
Don't confuse public opinion (eg publicised in the media) with the opinion of the public (eg what people say and think in private).
Maybe I should start spending my time with something a little more engaging!
If you find that something, please let us know.

No. It will be used clinically for people who have muscle growth problems. For athletes, it will remain a banned substance.
So, as a non-athlete, where can I buy some?

But there are obviously more similarities between Java and Javascript then say Javascript and C#.
List some of them.

So are they an entertainment delivery company or an ISP? Do you want to buy content or connectivity?

I know nothing about these two subjects. Dark Energy? Planet searching? Bahhh, it is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
A grue? Pfft. I'd be more worried about Vin Diesel.
Mono.
I notice that Barnes & Noble too wants users to type www.barnesandnoble.com instead of bn.com
That's because they didn't want to risk being associated with BanniNation (bN).
Water beats rock every time.
So you're saying we should be making our CDs out of water?

2. Couldn't this say $40,000,000 USD (FORTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) *places pinky finger at corner of mouth* to be more dramatic?
Fixed that for you ;-)
If it does more than wget, doesn't that mean it already has too many features?
Perhaps it should simply accept the piped output from wget and render that into the user's graphical context of choice (fb, x11, etc).

The true purpose of Slackware? Smugness.
A corporation has one goal, by law: make money for the shareholders.
And one goal in practice: make money for the directors. ;-)
Pain killers like the kind your brain gives you when you get laid would work better. Seriously, go have some meaningless sex - it WILL help.
