Assuming Linus undertakes the gargantuan effort to relicense Linux under the GPLv3, that is. And even then, as long as they comply with v2, nothing can revoke their license to use, modify, or distribute the current code base.
Really, why not make a license that I don't need to be a lawyer to understand?
A license that is easy to understand is not the purpose of the GPL. The purpose of the GPL is to uphold the principles of Free Software.
If you want a license that's easy to understand, use another one, like BSD or MIT. Personally, I think that the FSF has demonstrated the ability to translate the here-represented complex ideas into valid legalese.
Something about having AIs with child-like curiosity (and voices to match---well, at least in the original audio, not so much in the dub (however, despite my being a sub snob, I will admit that the dub is acceptable to watch)) in high-performance, well-armed machines really does it for me.
To make a OS as robust as windows without things like this happening is hard to imagine honestly.
"Robust" is not an adjective I would ascribe to Windows.
If Macs were what windows is today, the story would be the complete opposite I assure you. You see the SAME thing in popular games as well. The most hacked games are the biggest and best, not because it is easier, but there are far more people attempting to exploit the system.
Homogeneity is weakness. Stop being so damn homogeneous (x86, Windows, the most popular software, etc.), and start being more diverse (POWER, SPARC; Linux, *BSD; good but not most popular software; etc.); otherwise, you're just bringing this upon yourselves.
I know that the herd mentality still affects humans' decisions, but please do try to balance your cognitive biases out.
My question, then, is whether the Chinese truly have the ambition to initiate an economic "war" which may lead to conventional or nuclear war, and if so, how suddenly will the effects manifest? We know that they have the means and the will to defend themselves on all such fronts, but do they plan on starting something with no direct provocation?
The answer to that is critical. If they do not plan to reign economic chaos on the world unless we do something brash, then continued gentle pressure is acceptable. If they do have such plans, then World War III is inevitable, with the ETA varying with how quickly someone in power figures it out.
The failed product demo at this week's International Consumer Electronics Show was hardly an auspicious start for the HD DVD camp in what's promising to be a nasty format war similar to the Betamax/VHS video tape battle,
the aforementioned similarities end there, for no consumer has any prospect of winning, as long as DRM remains manditory and not advisory.
That they have introduced many new characters and attempted to create a complex plot isn't the problem, but an effect of the problem. The problem is that translating the successful 2D gameplay to 3D is still proving very difficult for Sega.
I disagree that the non-gameplay extras necessarily spoil the games. But then again, I'm just a fanboy; how can I possibly fairly critique the effect of characters and plot on games?
If your condition is acute, or if you ever need to change medicines, you're going to want to step down from your dosage when you want to stop taking them; dropping these medicines cold turkey is not recommended for a very good reason. I don't remember how it felt with the Lexapro, but when I forget or otherwise decline to take my Wellbutrin and Strattera, I feel like shit---and there really isn't any other way to describe it.
In what way is your average speed your exact speed?
By applying the mean value theorem from calculus, one can guarantee that at some point c between two other points a and b, one travels with with the same instantaneous velocity at c as the overall average velocity from a to b. Hence, if the average is greater than the limit, one necessarily has disobeyed the posted regulations at some point in time.
Several assumptions need to be made, but I think that they are reasonable ones.
It is by no means sufficient that the law should recognize the principle of private property and freedom of contract; much depends on the precise definition of the right of property as applied to different things. The systematic study of the forms of legal institutions which will make the competitive system work efficiently has been sadly neglected; and strong arguments can be advanced that serious shortcomings here, particularly with regard to the law of corporations and of patents, not only have made the competition work much less effectively than it might have done but have even led to the destruction of competition in many spheres.
-- F. A. Hayek, co-recipient of the 1974 Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, The Road to Serfdom, 1944
I think if you look close enough, you'll see that patents have been criticized for a while.

Could just as easily be a credit or ATM card. I mean, everybody will want to get in on the act, so why not credit companies and banks?

Damn my timestamp format!
By less than a second, even.

Allow me to give you a suggestion:
Stop buying the very top of the line!
I picked up a Geforce 7800GT for a little over $300. There surely exists an ATI card at about the same price-value point.

Creepy.

I don't know, why don't you ask this on LKML, right now?

I think that you have your causality mixed up.

Cleverness vs. clarity has clear merit when it comes to software engineering. But with the software's name? That's a waste of energy.

And if you're anything like me, you'll never want to take it without food. I guarantee, that's the quickest way to puke up nothing but stomach acid.
I'm not claiming that the automated assignment of tickets is flawless; I'm saying that the theory is beyond reproach.

Not very circumspect, I see.
