If your employees live in a stimulating and satisfying environment, where they are allowed to use powerful tools, which are pleasant to work with and allow them to write their code as a work of art, they'll be more productive, which is good for the bottom line. And satisfied employees will stay longer at your company too, which will save training costs for the new replacements (which might leave just as quickly...). Yes, art can save money too.
Actually, this "mobile judges" proposal seems much worse than any trial-by-jury could be. Even assuming that the judge is knowledgeable about the law and the facts, and not corrupt, do you really believe that he will be able to give a well thought out sentence from the top of his motorbike seat in just 2 minutes?
As has been pointed out elsewhere, there are things that can't be prevented. Such as a hacked client that "helps" the player to aim. How are you gonna detect that?
The switch back to dailyght saving time in spring already accounts for 1 hour/year . Indeed, mainframes don't store the time in GMT, and the only way to avoid major confusion is to switch them off during the one hour in spring that is double... Or maybe, because that hour really doesn't exist, they just didn't take it into account in their calculation? Or is this "five nines" realiability only for places which don't have daylight savings time?
Or at least that was the case with E*Trade and Red Hat. It can't be government imposed, because the VA Linux IPO was open to the world. If you are foreign though, don't worry: just make up an US address, and there you go!
The Rowenta Surfline iRon existed years before the iMac, so shouldn't Apple rather pay some license fees to Rowenta? And btw, looked from closeby, the iMac is butt ugly.
ABC owned by Disney could be a good thing. At least, then nobody can accuse them of delibarately showing too much of Jon's T-shirt... Or the huge A0-size poster on the back wall... Or the writing on one of the monitors...
> How secret could it be if several million people get it beamed to their TV's with the evening news?
Yeah, but the DVD CCA might then claim it was too tiny to read. So make sure that it's displayed in some huge letters, and have the whole code scroll by slowly. If somebody asks, pretend it's just a screensaver.
Or, you could actually use NT's "marquee" screensaver to pull it of (well, that would be one thing NT would be useful for;-) )
How come that all those lame "The DVD CCA was right all along, the CSS crack is only for pir8ting" are always posted by Anonymous Cowards? Is the MPAA really too stupid to set up a bunch of throwaway Slashdot accounts.
Or are these anon cowards actually pro DeCSS and only want to make it appear as if the MPAA is posting those comments? Conspiracies... Conspiracies
This should keep most sharks, and especially those from Weil, Gotshal & Manges out of your mirror list. If you really want to do it well, grab a list of Class C addresses, and then run a pattern matching program to get a list of likely lawyers offices worldwide, and shut them all out using REMOTE_ADDR.
newsgroup. So, L. Ron is not really "beloved" there. Rather to the contrary: the regulars of the newsgroup were in a years lasting war against Church of Scientology, where the CoS tried every possible trick to disrupt the newsgroup, and the newsgroup developped ever more ingenious countermeasures. Not using those countermeasures would basically have meant giving up the group entirely.
... methinks you are making a strawman argument here. The original poster was complaining that animals had to suffer in order to develop a product that is meant for entertainment only.
This is an entirely different story than medical research. Many people oppose experiments on animals if they are for making cosmetics or other irrelevant articles, but they do agree that animal experiments are occasionnally necessary for medical research.
...was not just a paltry $400. No, at current valuations it's more like 100K. And people were litterally falling over each other last summer to get it. So, your hypothetical example already has happened, and the vast majority of people who could decided to take the money.
...you can chose not to invest in a risky company such as Microsoft. If Microsoft turns sour, it's you, the fundmanager, who screwed your own customers. It's not MSFT's ennemies nor MSFT's competitors faults. After all, by now it should be public knowledge that MSFT isn't loved by everybody, and astute fund manager should take that fact into account in their risk calculations.
> The UK government meanwhile is busy saying "well all that money we spent was obviously worth it -- because we cured all the problems and nothing happened"...
Lucky you. Around my place, they are saying: "All that money has been wasted for nothing. As you see there was no Y2K problem after all. It was surely those damn Y2K consultancies wanting to make a quick buck".
Strangely enough, nobody thought that maybe all this money was spent to fix the problem, and that that was why there was none...

Aren't these just standard boilerplate "no warranty disclaimers" terms that we find in all licenses, even VB (...err... especially VB).

An ugly piece is neither a work of art nor a masterpiece of craft.

errr... not really

Btw, why didn't anybody mention Disney yet today?

1st hit too. Probably google does these on purpose...
...after all, you didn't say whether those options will be put or call. Hehe.

Well, technically, due to the loss that this caused to them, methinks they'll get their tax writeoff...

Wouldn't it be easyer if they just posted an account number where we could wire funds to? And it would probably be quicker than sending a check too.
