But I'm not distributing my script to anyone. I am only using it.
The GPL by design obligates one to release the source ONLY when you distribute the code. Use of the code does not obligate you to distribute under the GPL.
Two ways to look at this. One you are letting people use GPL software, but don't want release the code. You could claim this is like distributing it as you are given direct access to the program. This might be a licensing hole.
Second is you are providing a service using GPL software. You are explicitly not distributing the software, you are just using it internally to provide a service. You shouldn't have to distribute it.
There are at least those two interpretations.
I understand the first, but I agree with the second more. Just because I let you view documents from a GPL web server doesn't mean I should have to give you the source.
Lap dancing houses will probably use house chips, similar to casinos. The biggest problem will be tipping buskers and similar things. I think coins are going to be around for a while yet.
Yes because they'll love turning over a cut of their "extra" money to the house.
First off you assume people will be able to comprehend, I doubt that people are dumb. Don't belive me, listen to a daytime talk show.
Second a computer will mark your answer, so it must be able to comprehend the answer you put in, you have to give a precise and exact answer (likely), which means its a simple question, and a computer might be able to answer it.
Sorry, the space program didn't bring us everything that came after the wheel. I'm not saying that there hasn't been much innovation or research, but it isn't ALL NASA.
Plastic was invented in the 1860's Fully Synthetic in the early 1900's Microwave ovens were "invented" in the 40's Batteries were invented back in the 1600's
If Congress gave NASA $2 billion, that would be more then 10 billion less then their current budget of 12-15 billion annually over the last few years, not including the plan to double it.
I think that the space program should continue as it is, they will be a bit more careful, hopefully this won't happen that much more. Realistically manned Space travel is dangerous, but there are thousands of people who would qualify, and who take the chances to keep going despite the risks.
People dying today is more important then cold temperature velcro performance. It is more important to the average voter, politician and to me.
How dare you harrass the slashdot crowd with sarcasm.
Judging by the replys so far, most didn't.
The problem isn't the lobbyists, it is that Joe Sixpack doesn't vote, and doesn't vote on issues or performance. Campaigns win on flash, and advertising, people who give money, also hire lobbyists. To win an election you have to please them. More money = win the campaign.
I think it is good, very straightforward for the cars & trucks.
It demonstrates the product for you, and builds excitement over it. It's an interactive way to learn about the product, and it is something you WANT to do. I don't want to watch TV ads or read billboards. But I do want to drive sports cars.
The current opt out list is optional. They follow it anyway. Making it legally binding doesn't harm the reputable companies, only those that ignore it now.
What do they want? an Opt In list?
I don't want charity or political organizations calling me either, why can't we get rid of them?
Information Technology, managing and supplying information to those who need it. This is a critical piece of infrastructure, and taking care of infrastructure is a good career.
It is annoying to be mistaken for another task, particularly when you've worked quite hard to get where you are.
But lose the elitist attitude, it isn't helping anyone. We have swarms of people who maintain our systems, from police to plumbers, farmers to store clerks and drivers. It is a busy world with many tasks that need to be done, don't get down on those who choose to do something else, you probaly couldn't do your job without them.
This is why schools get reputations. In Ontario it is rather well known by the Universities which schools inflate and which don't.
I went to a school that didn't inflate, I got in well below the cut off for my program.
This crap only hurts the good students. That being said, there are WAY too many whiners in post secondary education. They don't work, they don't try, they just complain when things don't work out.
We really don't know much, we have ideas how things work, we have some models. For very simple things they work.
We know how people act individually, and yet we can't extrapolate the behavior of entire societies from this.
That is blantantly wrong, anyone a year or two into a psychology program knows how clueless we are to how people think and act.
The thing that makes our models useful is that they are simple enough for us to work with, and the error of incomplete modelling is small.
Engineers constantly assume objects to be rigid, or a simple beam, and constant mechanical properties. This makes it possible to predict the performance of an item within a certain window.
How is this any different then burning a CD. 500-700 megs in 1.5-2 minutes. nearly 10 tiumes the size in about 10 times the time. This isn't unreasonable.
No, the Prime Minister is elected by the MP's, generally you'd elect the same leader you had during the election.
You don't lose your seat if you piss off your party leaders, at most you lose any appointments, or even kicked out of the party, but you still remain an MP with a vote, and you can represent your constituents.
The ONLY way a law will pass in Canada is if a majority if MP's vote FOR it. Do you know how your MP voted?
And cancel helicopters they are gonna buy now anyway.
Yawn, everyone lies to get elected.
Harris said he'd do many things people wouldn't like, and ignore special interest groups. Judging by the protests, people weren't happy about that either.
Minivans do not have the towing capacity of a comparable SUV. Minivans tend to handle better, have more cargo volume, get better gas mileage, and are more safe.
AWD is available for many minivans, there are also SUVs with only 2WD.
Then the ISP will knowingly be providing a service for the purpose of sending spam. Which would make them a party to sending the spam for commercial gain (premium service) and some jurisidiction somewhere would hit them under anti spam laws.
Laws are social/economic solutions. When we take your money away and put you in jail, that would be attacking you on the social & economic level
So long as the ISP's mail server actually does properly relay the mail for you and doesn't do anything else out of spec, there's nothing (much) wrong with them forcing you to use it.
Big if, and that is why I run my own outgoing mailserver too. Their mailservers suck, they require authentication for outgoing email, and they require I use their email address.
Much easier to setup an out only mailserver, and ignore their crap.

I think the nice tihng about Access is that it lets you have SQLish access to a file.
It is self contained, no server, just the application.
There are many simple databases I would like to make, but having to play with some SQLd is annoying.
Each card can hold a ~$100.
Once you crack the system you can refill $100 at a time, it is like printing money.
Who cares how much you did spend, if you have a printing press.
Can this be applied to anonymous voting?

You are permitted to watch the house of commons, in the very same room. Not many countries permit this.
You're aren't allowed to be a disturbance. Protest outside where nobody can hear you.
And cancel helicopters they are gonna buy now anyway.
Yawn, everyone lies to get elected.
Harris said he'd do many things people wouldn't like, and ignore special interest groups.
Judging by the protests, people weren't happy about that either.
Each riding (electoral area) elects 1 representative to the federal government, each elected person is a Member of Parliment (MP).
The political party with the most seats is the governing party, the second most is the opposition.
The other parties don't have official titles.
From the ruling party (generally) all the departments/minitries are run by an MP, the opposition gets their critic for each.
Then they get in a big room, and argue with each other.
That is the house of commons.
Minivans do not have the towing capacity of a comparable SUV.
Minivans tend to handle better, have more cargo volume, get better gas mileage, and are more safe.
AWD is available for many minivans, there are also SUVs with only 2WD.
They disabled access to a their work (the other parts of the board).
You are circumventing this technical access method to gain access to their work.
Pretty straightforward to me.
But it is still a dumb law.
Then the ISP will knowingly be providing a service for the purpose of sending spam.
Which would make them a party to sending the spam for commercial gain (premium service) and some jurisidiction somewhere would hit them under anti spam laws.

No, the stock market is a simple system.
People post shares of a company, you can buy them, or you can sell your own.
The companies you buy are the possibly complex parts, and if you don't have an idea how they work and will make you money, don't buy.
