I can be as appalled at the unrepenting jingoism apparent in some of the comments here as the next person but seriously, what do you want them to do? Only post articles that apply to the globe as a whole?
Overzealous nationalism isn't the domain of the US alone. With your apparent lack of understanding of causality, I really don't understand what value you derive from reading this site, apart from a lot of confusion and fear.
I don't think they're so much advocating having old, dead data be kept "alive" alongside more contemporary posts, just caching as much of it as possible for historical referencing later. In many ways, Google search is a versioning system: dead links tend to be removed from living pages, which pushes them further down the ranking.
How many influential works have risen in public perception long past their inception and even death of their creator? How many of those were considered the worst kind of trash at the time of release?
Deleting "unimportant" historical information has always been a revisionist approach...if there's anything we can learn from history, it's that we can learn from history:)
I'm guessing but I'd expect there's little overlap between the videogame console & oscilloscope markets...which means there's very little 'likelihood of confusion' for the intended consumers. It's this aspect which is usually considered when assessing claims of trademark infringement.
Did Canada have to remove local content restrictions for TV as well? Or did you guys actually have the common sense to realise how important having your own culture is?
"In some cases, Microsoft would take part ownership in the young companies using the technology, or royalty payments would be paid to the software giant. Some cases may require a mix of both approaches."
A brilliant explanation of how something becomes "fact" on the Internet.
Funnily enough, your post is a perfect example of this very process, as your judgement of who is 'right' in this situation is seemingly being based on your agreement with an observation of net-behaviour, rather than, say, relevent facts.
That is a badly retarded argument. If you give me permission to kill someone, and I kill him/her, am I not liable?
Like during wartime, you mean?
What I find retarded is how idiots like you get your panties in a knot over 'morally outrageous' situations like, say, university research, when there are actual issues out there being constantly ignored.
I do think the title is ill-considered, because iCon has both the meaning of icon and I Con (you?).
I actually see it as fulfilling the very criticism so many people have levelled against the book, by referring to two of the ways that Jobs is perceived.
What ever happened to that old heuristic about books and covers? Or are we to get morally outraged at every deliberately-ambiguously-titled-to-get-our-attenti on book that's out there?
I'm curious as to how they expect the same source material to remain "immensely funny" after they've read the books, listened to the radio show, watched the original TV mini, ignored the comics etc etc
Is this 21st Century entertainment? "I thought Ford delivered that line with more humour in the original radio play...now it just sounds dull."
If people are seriously choosing Ruby over Python due to this 'issue' with whitespace, then let me just say that as a Python-user, I certainly don't feel I'm missing out on their contributions to the code-base...
Well, the whitespace issue is only one reason, but it does make it difficult to use Python as a templating language[...]
You've made this claim a number of times now and since you're asking someone else to cough up hard date on the comparitive speed of Ruby compared to Python, I'm going to ask you to do the same. Exactly how does the 'whitespace issue' make templating more difficult in Python? (It's certainly never been an issue with any of the templating libs I've tried, such as em & Cheetah)
Ruby is a more flexible language than Python.
While I was initially impressed by Ruby, the main reason I ended up focusing on Python was better libraries & better support for introspection.
In what ways do you find Ruby 'more flexible'?
In the Python vs. Ruby race, I'd put my money on Ruby.
In the Rails vs. Python-web-frameworks race, I'd say you're right. Ruby has languished in near obscurity until the Rails framework established a concrete use for it.
But as for Ruby vs. Python, well, I'm not so confident that I'm representative of the mythical majority to speak for them in saying what will or won't happen over the next few years...
Oh, I get it, because they're all fruits ah hahahaha how clever, thank god someone mentions that every second post otherwise this witticism would've just PASSED ME BY.
Wrongdoers have to be punished, yes, but I fear the ultimate result could be businesses cooling to the idea of open-source if all they ever hear about is how we can't settle these disputes without litigation.
Well, hat might be an issue if we lived in some mythical world where the business community handled these things in a more mature and less litiginous way.:)
I thought they had more balls than to be bullied like this.
It's not so much bullying as wanting to be one of the boys... GWB described Australia as a 'sheriff' in the war on terror, which served only to highlight how far away he was kept from the Aus. public during his visit.
Our detention centres are a fucking travesty. Our foreign policy is situated somewhere in the mid-50s. Howard is scum, pure and simple. He's the sort of politician who describes a 55/45 split as 'overwhelmingly' in his favour.
So yeah, you're not the only one shocked, but you might be the only one surprised.

"Thank you Ted, that was the joke."
Ah, slashdot...where ignorance should never be reason enough not to voice your opinion.
It could've been worse, they could've made Matrix V: For Vendetta instead.
Been suckling the teat of your inheritance long?
Uh, maybe if you and the original poster actually tried a Linux distro from this century you'd discover that there are such distros.

Sounds like it's the plan from the start.

And this, to respond to the GP's point, is exactly the reason why someone has written a biography of him.
People are fascinated by other people, especially the doomed and the successful.

You're right, why do anything when it's easier to just criticise the actions of others from the safety of /.?
Sometimes moronity takes awhile before it becomes evident
And sometimes it shows from the very first post...
You and the RIAA both.
Only to those pedants looking to score points off of someone else.
You know, you could just calmly point out the mistake to someone instead of having to be a Real Dick(tm) about it.
There's the PyWebOff: http://pyre.third-bit.com/pyweb/index.html
"PyWebOff is a compare-and-contrast exercise to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of some of the major Python web application frameworks."
Not all of the frameworks have been assessed yet but it still seems pretty active.

I'm sure I read earlier that the loader is written in VB, which when run then calls the actual emulator.
At a guess, this is probably what they consider to be "radically different" "architecture".
Mmmm, semantic-mangling, the last recourse of the unprincipled leech.

Cheers! Thanks for setting the precedent!
