Oh, you mean like how GM buys Cummins engines, Monroe shocks, Lear Seats, Goodyear tires, etc. made to their specifications from suppliers, and then pays people to assemble them for them?
Even if there do turn out to be "extenuating circumstances," Diginotar should be out of business. They haven't announced that they've issued a compromised cert. One might argue that hiding the error is worse than making it in the first place.
Now run those experiments, comparing CO2 levels of 300 ppm and 400 ppm, instead of 400 ppm and 1,000,000 ppm, and tell us how much of a difference you measure/see.
No, it's not. Verizon can throttle the top 5% of bandwidth consumers, but there's no "5 GB" cap. Poke around, and you'll find people who have used 40+ GB in a month.
The UK is a completely different market. It's much more compact, much more population dense, and has much less rural area. The costs of providing wireless service are much less than in the US (except for possibly "metro only" providers).
It's more like claiming copyright on the individual words one used to write a creative story.
Computer languages should not be copyrightable, because copyright requires that the work be fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Just as individual words can be taken from one work and rearranged to create a wholly separate, noninfringing one, so too should computer language grammar, syntax, keywords, etc. be available for others to reuse.
If Oracle claims copyright over individual Java language elements, regardless of how they are arranged, is their next step to claim they own the copyright to any program written in Java?
Now, this is a bit different than the trouble Microsoft got in when they used their embrace, extend, and exterminate strategy with Java. As I understand that, MS had a license, and used code from Sun's implementation of the Java language, it was not a clean room implementation based on the formal language definition (APIs).
If you've even been to the US, it's obviously only to one of the very large cities, which BTW, also have the most restrictive firearm laws (NYC, Chicago, the whole state of CA).
And you're right, they don't have barred windows or doors in the UK, and everyone leaves their doors unlocked.
The UK itself, disagrees: "The full title of this country is 'the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'"
The riots did spread to Wales, but are not considered an international incident because of it.
The original post still referred to riots in 3 countries regardless of the ambiguous nature of the UK being a country made up of the countries of England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland. Those are not "countries" as the term is used outside the UK (such as on the US based slashdot), but rather political subdivisions of the country of the UK, as they all have representation in the UK Cabinet.
Murder is only one form of violence, pointing to homicide statistics is not an accurate measure of violence.
No matter though, as your own source gives homicide rates of 5.4 for "Europe" in 2004, compared to 5.5 for the US. Your definition of "substantial" is unusual.
More specific to the exact claim, Mexico (11) and Brazil (27) are examples of two western countries with significantly higher homicide rates than the US.
an article which discusses "the six [sic] layers..."
I understand that IP protocols predate the 7 layer ISO/OSI model, but that's what everything is mapped to in modern terms.
The article seems even more confused, when it reverses the layers, claiming that "at layers five and six, where Ethernet and other data-link protocols such as PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) communicate..."
What are they teaching at GA Tech? This is networking 101.
"I'm seriously astounded that the php development community doesn't have acceptance testing around this sort of thing."
Two things.
1) The problem was found and announced by "the php development community," and presumably found by them, too (admittedly, not prior to release). 2) Why aren't you involved in acceptance testing, if you see a problem with how it's being done?

"Pizza companies don't make their own cars"
They don't?
Yep. Cue the green cheese jokes...
I think you're ascribing way too much competency to a government bureaucracy.
Enough to fill your bit bucket.
"why else would you hack kernel.org?"
1337 points.
I thought I made an error once, but I was mistaken.
"We'll adopt open standards over my dead body"
So, you're expecting Apple to adopt open standards soon?
Even if there do turn out to be "extenuating circumstances," Diginotar should be out of business. They haven't announced that they've issued a compromised cert. One might argue that hiding the error is worse than making it in the first place.
FTA:
" Given the iPhad's dominant market position, "
I wonder who slipped that in there?
"Carbon is the most common element around."
No, in the universe, that would be hydrogen. Carbon is 4th in abundance. It's much farther down the list if you just consider the earth.
"You know how December is colder than July? That's climate."
No, that's seasons. And, BTW, in the southern hemisphere, July is colder than December.
Now run those experiments, comparing CO2 levels of 300 ppm and 400 ppm, instead of 400 ppm and 1,000,000 ppm, and tell us how much of a difference you measure/see.
"Mexico and Brazil would not be included as a "western country" for this definition."
You have some research to do.
No, it's not. Verizon can throttle the top 5% of bandwidth consumers, but there's no "5 GB" cap. Poke around, and you'll find people who have used 40+ GB in a month.
What Sony really needs are emotion sensing executives.

If you think the UK, France, and Greece are a single country, and 3=1, then US schools are very much better than your's.

It's hard to understand, isn't it?
