Not necessarily. Blogs update more frequently than static sites, by and large; if Google+Yahoo+MSN bots think that it's a dynamic site of some sort (presumably they have a variety of clues to determine one way or another) then they will scan it for updates more frequently.
If your works are derived from other open-source GPL'ed projects, the most you can do is to effectively provide the company you work for with a license to use your contributions and modifications to that code however they so please. However, if this is a derivative work which they intend to distribute, then it must still be licensed under the GPL unless the original authors and contributors authorize you to use it in a non-GPL manner. All of them.
Assuming that to be the case, advise your company that it is not within your power to release them from these restrictions of the GPL, and instruct them to contact IBM+etc for any permission they seek in that regard.
I think this is a fair summary. But really, Microsoft, I see you listed. Is Windows more secure? Is Windows more scalable? I mean, they know as well as we do about the possibilities of it splitting into multiple varieties, but aside from that...
Apparently there are even bigger problems than that involved. The summary says that this isn't the US, and that there are "human rights concerns" which I would suspect go above and beyond the concerns of any one person, particularly if the police are acting to restrict those human rights.
If that's the case, then impeding the investigation could well be the least of your worries.
Seriously, people need to start pushing the idea of the Creative Commons licenses to webcomic artists out there. My own comic (link above) is CC-BY-NC-SA. I figure that this sort of license is a whole lot better than me trying to come up with my own sans lawyer, and the 'noncommercial' bit would preclude most of the stuff you would be worried about (people printing your comic in books in an unauthorized manner, or sticking up your comic with ads on some site you don't want them to...)
And if you're really concerned with artistic integrity, there's a No-Derivatives version last I checked.
I'm sorry, but I didn't really like Spaceballs. Somehow, those little cracks about "We're all assholes, sir!" just weren't funny enough for me. I'll grant them the combination-on-my-luggage joke, but the rest of it was just weak. Perhaps the drooling reviews of its fanboys had me expecting something more.
Now, Young Frankenstein, on the other hand, was sheer genius. I found the dichotomy somewhat startling.
You can get away with a LOT of what would otherwise be considered "copyright infringement" in your creative works if you can construe it as parody... particularly if it's not a for-profit enterprise and doesn't have a negative impact on the commercial value of the original work.
Still, telling it to the court won't be particularly fun. =(
You're looking for Ourmedia "an open-source initiative devoted to creating, sharing and storing works of personal media", who have partnered with the Internet Archive to host a Ton of Stuff Like That. Unfortunately, they're Not Officially Launched Yet. (I can send you login information if you request it via email or something, but I'm not supposed to post it anywhere or anything).
And their launch date has already slipped over half a year... ah well, here's hoping they'll launch Real Soon Now (tm).
I first saw network over home powerline products quite some time ago (probably not at these speeds, however). I seem to recall the usual issues about dirty power, the fridge kicking in, et cetera et cetera. Does this deal with those any better?
What I always wondered is who gets the royalty taxes on blank media, anyway? The government collects them, obviously, but who do they give it to? Is there a list somewhere? Is there a form that I can use to sign up for my cut of this tax if I'm in the entertainment business? Where does the money go?
How many people used LaserDiscs or had LaserDisc players at the height of their popularty? How many people have used DVDs and DVD players? Or have a DVD drive in their computer?
They may be going the way of VHS or casette tapes (or at worst 8-tracks), but they're not going the way of LaserDisc any time soon.
This is simple economics; economists would refer to this as 'price discrimination'. The basic idea is to charge everybody as much as they're willing to pay for it. Now, they can't interview you beforehand and ask 'how much are you willing to pay' like that and get a valid answer and hope to sell it to you at that price, so they do this instead. Some people are obviously willing to pay $$$$$ for a new computer game. Some aren't. So, they keep a good sky-high price for a month or two, and then drop the price down gradually so the next set of people who want it are willing to get it, until it ends up in the $5 bargain bin.
I'm applying for IBM's Extreme Blue internship this summer (gotten past the first two interviews, hope to take the IPATO test tomorrow or something). If you've done something notable for an open source project of some sort, you get major props towards them accepting you.
It all depends on the point of the chat room. Chat rooms for general chat seldom display quality. Chat rooms about a particular topic may fare better, and chat rooms for a specific purpose are usually pretty danged good. I know the Wikipedia developers use a channel on Freenode to coordinate, and there is really no equivalent paradigm which would serve quite as well.
Upon termination of the algorithm, the 8-dimensional complex vector stored in the register must be somehow read off from the qubit register by a quantum measurement. However, by the laws of quantum mechanics, that measurement will yield a random 3 bit string (and it will destroy the stored state as well). This random string can be used in computing the value of a function because (by design) the probability distribution of the measured output bitstring is skewed in favor of the correct value of the function. By repeated runs of the quantum computer and measurement of the output, the correct value can be determined, to a high probability, by majority polling of the outputs. See quantum circuit for a more precise formulation. In brief, quantum computations are probabilistic.
Antimatter particles are like regular matter particles, but with opposite charges. If there's no charge on the particle, it's impossible to have an antiparticle. (Elementary particles, that is. Protons and neutrons are, of course, composite particles.)
Photons (light) do not possess charge. The photon has no antiparticle (or, you could say, it is its own antiparticle). It is a 'real neutral particle', with zero spin, electromagnetic charge, weak charge and strong charge.
Not that I'm unsympathetic to his cause (*wave the EA-is-Evil flag*), but the link seems to say that the reason he's not getting this overtime is because he's classified as a "creative employee" by the law. Programmers are easily just as much a 'creative employee' as the artists, in my opinion. As such, it is the law which is stupid and ought to be criticized.
Slashdot Mirror
And no, I don't count Slashdot's friends/foes bit as a "social network site".

This is why we have a page describing how polls are evil.

In France or otherwise.

Xanga, particularly all those groups who are pro-anorexia.
