The yellow tinge is due to incandescent lights, not the "color" of the sun - while the sun's peak is in the yellow range (and therefore technically a "yellow" star), it's a lot less visibly yellow than typical incandescent light bulbs. Check out http://www.phys.ufl.edu/~avery/course/3400/light/b lackbody_color.gif (note the fluorescent one shown is, as far as i can tell, a normal one, not a "true white" one. But still, which one is closer to sunlight? Even with the odd "spikes"
Secret of marketing: Nobody identifies with the butt of a marketing campaign, including the "PC" character in these commercial.
Except it's John Hodgman, who is awesome. And anyone who watches the daily show is probably to some degree or another in their intended target audience.
Regardless (should have mentioned this in my original reply, since I did find it), your link does not have any mention of the Microsoft Community License. The MCL does not have the restriction on commercial use to which the FSF objects, the term "non-commercial" does not even appear in it at all. It is, at first glance, apparently non-GPL-compatible due to a patent clause, but that doesn't make it non-free - several licenses at http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#G PLIncompatibleLicenses (such as the Apache license) are non-gpl-compatible for similar reasons.
There are plenty of OSI-approved licenses that can't be mixed with each other. See GPL-Incompatible, Free Software Licenses for a list of such licenses that can't be mixed with the GPL (and thus with the linux kernel. the GPL v3 will likely also be incompatible with the GPL v2, for programs that explicitly pick a version, in at least one direction)
or why the OSI can't even just spontaneously review licenses even without someone's request.
I'll field this one.
You see, impersonal entities like "the OSI" lack a certain important quality known as sapience (though commenly mistakenly called sentience - it also lacks that, but that's rather beside the point) - without which, it's incapable of making decisions on its own without the help of an individual or group of individuals that do have that quality. In the OSI's case, as with many others, that group is called a board of directors.
On the other hand the FSF has shown what they're thinking about it.
Funny that the anchor you linked to is "non-free documentation licenses", given that the gnu "free documentation license" doesn't itself pass the DFSG, on which the OSD was based.
The "variation in quality and interchangeability" of C has less to do with the fact that it's based on a standard than the fact that the standard in question doesn't fully specify anything worth doing.
When you log into a remote computer and run an X client, it connects to your computer
And that's why X is completely inadequate for remotely helping a user with a problem. He's saying it would be nice to be able to log in in a vnc-like manner but have _your_ mouse pointer in one place, and the user's mouse pointer in another place.
I bet he's used to that and just doesn't like the idea of being charged extra for _his_ calls, i.e. those made from his landline to someone else's cell phone.
Of course google closes accounts with no investigation - the money train is showing no signs of slowing down anyway, and this lets them keep it all to themselves.

Well, there's still conversion waste - clearly the solution is to start heating our houses with nuclear energy.
In terms of oil not burned, or greenhouse gases not exhausted into the atmosphere, one bulb is equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads."
Sounds more like 110 million bulbs are equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads.
You have learned how to edit a wiki, and therefore we trust you with wikipedia.
Sad? maybe.
True? yes.
All the better that they built it without any annoying gizmos.
innerHTML is an annoying gizmo. And there was absolutely no reason for them to use it.

But he's the first foreign-born CEO of this _particular_ japanese company. Which... isn't quite as impressive, I must admit.
The "bump keys" shown looked like they could easily be filed _down_ from, not necessarily a blank, but even an existing normal key.

If the reporting limit is set to 55 (after all, that's a safe speed - some places), does that mean it won't report them when going 55 in a 20mph zone?

Eh - regardless, enough people use the term "teenagers" to refer to 13 through 18, or even 12 through 18, that it's not worth nitpicking.
Eventually, justice prevails (possibly after a couple appeals and a lot of money), you get your stuff back, and you aren't convicted of anything.
"You get your stuff back" doesn't follow from anything else you've said here.

Plus, the profits from the ads are paying for _everything_ else.

And what's the cost of bandwidth compared to cpu cycles?
So you believe that it's possible to agree to a contract you can't see?
Remember, you don't need to sign, in ink, to have a binding contract.
No, but you do have to gain something. Even if you do sign it in ink, it's not a contract without that.
Im writting dhis coment frrom Firefox 2, it actualy underscorres everithing it doesnt recognice.
I take it you're testing it out?
But still... some rights in the constitution only apply to citizens. Those described in the first amendment are not among them.
