What it really comes down to is investing in a tool to facilitate the robo-gambling, aka Wall Street. The claimed profit of $100m/ year would come from retirement funds of John Does from the Main Street.
From a communique by some island's Ministry of international affairs.
We and all other nations in the world do not recognize the occupation and annexation of our land by the Pacific ocean as legal. We shall maintain out statehood and membership to the UN even though evicted from our land onto a floating reservation. Even though this may last for several millenia, we consider the current situation as temporary only
Or you can just go to Area 51 (in Japan Hiroshima or Nagasaki would probably work), test your GC there, compare with values on Wikipedia, update the values on Wikipedia, and you GC is now up to an international standard.
I bet that a 12y aged bourbon to 1y aged is the same as #95 to #87 gasoline.
Does it matter if the bourbon came from the same barrel or it was blended? Are the fuel stations hiring tasters now?
In OS X Lion the Launchpad will beat the old Spotlight by being able to read your mind and sometimes even launch apps before you realize you want them!
So basically, they're taking a bunch of organizations in countries that probably have a 95% or higher piracy rate, and giving them free licenses.
So it's costing Microsoft essentially squat, but potentially improves human rights in said countries.
Commendable, but not exactly as philanthropic as MS probably wants to come across as....
The kew word is potentially. In reality it does squat, period. The governments can always find other pretexts to raid NGOs. There are other software companies, not just MS, products of which could be pirated too.
Interestingly enough, their page's counter went up about 100k since this morning (ET). In the morning, when I first read the story, the counter was going up tens per second.
Yeah! To fight dupes I compute CRC checksum for each file and store it (and only it) on my back up drive. That method removes dupes almost automatically and there is a side effect of a huge compression ratio too. I have been downloading the high def videos from Internet for quite a while now and with my compression method I have used less than 10 percent of 1GB flash drive! I strongly recommend this method to everyone!

Where is PronFS when we desperately need one?

And counting...
Nice advertisement for the green lantern.

If an FDR can survive that, it can survive damn near anything.
But can it survive millennia under water?

But do you get sick with viruses transported by airplanes from all over the world?
plutonium, cesium.... nonsense. The real news here is that dihydrogen monoxide was found on the floor of the plant!
Why didn't they try to play pi in reverse? I tell you, its beginning is beautiful.
Do you have faith in Traffic collision avoidance system?
what you came from is so fat that its attraction force becomes repelling due to overflow.
I do not think that revealing that your mother's maiden name was Jones on Slashdot was much better.
You mean they'd be breathing Plaid?
Isn't it what lungs crave?
I thought that Windows could go to 640 cores, which as I heard ought to be enough for anybody.

Maybe if we had a lower income-gap, better paying jobs, and opportunity for people this wouldn't be such a problem?
Alternatively we could legalize recycling of the broadband cables. A slogan: "Let's put it to a better use!"
Remember prohibition never worked in any war on anything. I am not an expert, but does anyone know any medicinal use of the broadband copper?
Of course that all depends on how broad is contraband of the broadband copper.
Who gives a spin about Romania?

No. It is easier to convert 16bit into binary than decimal system.

Russia owns it, Russia operates it, and Russia has a lot of men with guns who will kill you if you get too inquisitive about it.
May be they are expecting inquisition.
