Unfortunately, the people that networks are paid to sell commercials to are assumed to be Philistines by marketing forces... and they are, largely, correct. If you think of advertising as a means of spreading information (which at its heart it is) you'll see how much more effective it is to say "Buy my product" five times with some glamour about the payment plan than to make an ad that details exactly what's good about what you're selling. The most glaring instance is in pharmaceutical ads, they just show a happy couple who were presumably in some sort of crisis but are now saved thanks to "the purple pill."
So in short, what YOU'D like, while it may be what's best on the whole, is not what's best for the bottom line.
That only really matters if the community (or someone in it) bothers to document it. It's just as aggravating to be without usable documentation no matter what OS you're using. The fact that there is a time-intensive fix doesn't help much when you just want some new drivers to work consistently.
First of all that's in Exodus, so it's an instruction to the Jews. Christ apparently had, I don't know, overriding jurisdiction or something, made new rules for Christians. Well actually, made new rules for Jews, and the Jews who followed them became known as Christians, since they couldn't bear to stay in the synagogues.
More importantly though, blindly following the text would go against his beliefs as he spelled them out, which include: 1) not blindly following the text.
More importantly though, this is NOT a religious discussion; at least, it shouldn't be until we all have the discussion "should the government enforce morality," among others. Or "why is it against YOUR morals for SOMEONE ELSE to do research?" I honestly don't understand some of these things.
It's actually proven by the fundamental theorem of calculus (well one of them): a particle going from point A to point B will at some time be traveling at its average speed. I would like to know why the judges felt this was not compelling evidence, because my calculus teacher's father apparently received tickets in this manner. Then he wizened up... he went twenty over the speed limit still, he just parked at a rest stop before exiting, or so she claims.
Ritalin Cures Next Picasso
WORCESTER, MA--Area 7-year-old Douglas Castellano's unbridled energy and creativity are no longer a problem thanks to Ritalin, doctors for the child announced Friday. "After years of failed attempts to stop Douglas' uncontrollable bouts of self-expression, we have finally found success with Ritalin," Dr. Irwin Schraeger said. "For the first time in his life, Douglas can actually sit down and not think about lots of things at once." Castellano's parents reported that the cured child no longer tries to draw on everything in sight, calming down enough to show an interest in television.
It's obvious that the judge is using his judicial power to circumvent the copy protection of SCO's choice (obscurity), in clear violation of the DMCA, Constitution, Magna Carta, Ten Commandments, and certain cave paintings said to explain SCO's clear legal foundation for its position on copyright issues.
The problem is that time DOES matter, as another response to this pointed out. Also, IF there is a hole in GPL Mark I, how many businesses are going to rush to embrace GPL Mark II? And how can linux be re-released under a new license without the explicit consent of the owners of the various copyrights of all the code?
Sounds suspiciously like a tract defaming evolution, and I find the resemblance unbecoming. You're obviously infringing on Jack T. Chick's copyright on straw-man jokes.
The point about the open-source software licensing is that he knows the terms of licenses and the legal consequences of violating them. It could have been any liscensing topic and the same comment could have been made.
Also, you don't put in 32 digits now; you put in a maximum of 12 digits in the form of 4 3-digit base-10 numbers (0-255). A 128-bit address could be expressed as 4 5-digit base-10 numbers (0-65535), a total of 20 digits. Still a significant increase but not four-fold or anything similar.
Someone correct me if I did the math wrong.
That's one of the problems with this: Microsoft might make their operating systems only work with their proprietary, disruptive, copywrite-protecting BIOS.
I can only imagine that backlashing, as an operating system that DOESN'T monitor all the files you save (probably macintosh, but quite a few linux!) would appeal to everyone.
My stance is: they have the right to do this, and they have the ability to do this, but the marketplace, if enlightened to the dangers, won't allow them to succeed with it.
Aka "optimism" or "stupidity," depending on your mood.

I doubt that 98% of the world has demonstrated any amount of reasonability. Certainly not in America.

You're not doing it right, you're supposed to sign the post with your political nemesis's name. Tried and true slashdot humor :(

On a pile of dirty money.
