Also, this is not a contract. Clicking 'I agree' is not a legal way to sign a contract and it is not legal to unilaterally add conditions once a deal is done (once you gave them money, they can't force more conditions on you). They know this, this is why they call it a license. However, a license cannot only grant you rights, it cannot remove them from you.
Obama only seems socialist if you ignore the 700 billion dollar bailout we handed to businesses - easily the largest act of socialism ever in US history
That's not socialist at all, in socialism we get to share the profits too.
I'd love if we created "The People's Olympics" where we draw at random who is going to participate. If the people in your country are more fit than the others, you have more chances to collect medals. No proxy to do all the competition for you.
We just have to draw lots of names to account for people who won't come.
Imagine being the idiot that used their full 20:23 length digitally remastered copy of "Yes, The Revealing Science of God", who's on dialup, and has to enter their password in order to change it.
Only to realize that it is rejected because the player he used changed a tag in the file which resulted in a different MD5 hash.
It's not automatic but yes. Everything that is commited is merely zipped and stashed away (which yields good performance) until you manually go a git gc.
The reason, I believe is that an operation that takes an instant could take a few seconds if it were to always repack. Using git, you get the habit of typing git gc at the command line when idle just like you get the habit of ctrl-s (or your editor's equivalent) all the time when you are idle when typing something.
The mistake was having more than one TLD. There should be.int (international / internet, your pick) and country 2 letters TLD which each country can subdivide as it wishes and grant to whoever it wishes. That way if it's important for some country that com really is for commercial, they can enforce it.
According to many people here, we are criminals. I consider this nonsense. A bunch of us in the neighborhood run open wi-fi access points as an act of friendliness toward each other and visitors. The wi-fi part of the spectrum is officially supposed to be open and usable by anyone, just like the public road system. Considering us criminals seems anti-social and obstructionist in the extreme
Agreed. If consumption by other parties is a problem, then throttling people using your router to a level acceptable to you is the answer. Oh and it's okay from time to time to use imagemagick on picture people sharing your bandwith request.
And the router owner pays extra for downloading a certain amount of GBs per month. The analogy holds. No wait, this is Slashdot... Does anyone have a car analogy?
I always thought that holodecks probably weren't used to talk to historical figures and characters from novels written in the 20th century. Cleaning the holodeck must be the suckiest job on the Enterprise.
I'm more scared of them supporting ODF than I am of OOXML. How do we know they aren't going to try to do what they successfully did to Netscape. They could easily add a bunch of their own stuff into ODF so that nothing but Office would be able to read the ODF files Office puts out.
How would they do that? OpenOffice reads any format they come up with, modified ODF would be no exception. Beside, the only way ODF would benefit them is to have a format that is required by some agencies (including many government). If they add proprietary extensions, they lose that sole benefit.
There's one big catch to this: the town isn't 100% wind powered. Instead, it produces more energy from wind power than it uses each year. Wind speed changes, and people use different amounts of electricity at different times, so a significant part of the town's electricity will still come from conventional generation through the grid.
Here in Quebec (the biggest electricity producer in North America), we can't cope with the demand on December 24 and buy electricity from the US. During the summer we sell electricity to them when they can't cope with cooling their homes.
There's no practical way to store electricity so we all have to take electricity from places with lesser demand when we meet peek uses. This is no different with wind power.
I showed my girlfriend how to do basic tasks and she picked the rest. Is there really new users which are not geeks and have no one to help them start? Most people wouldn't dare switching if they didn't have someone near to help them.
There is only two things that bugged my girlfriend: No photoshop (solved now, thanks to Google paying codeweavers so they make it work under wine) and she don't really get package management.
Overall, she prefers Linux because she can easily customize how KDE looks (she's an art student after all).

What makes you believe that Python's OO is sketchy?

Hence, EULAs are bogus.

So what if it excites a pedophile? Was the child harmed by the photograph taking? Does he or she even knows that someone wanked to that picture?
As long as no one is harmed by the taking of the picture, no censorship should be done, doing otherwise is punishing thoughtcrimes.
As in United States? That's not even a name, that's a description. Imagine that Canada decided to name itself the United Provinces...
As a rule of thumb, you can assume that the "friendlier" the prefix a country attach to itself, the more despotic it is.

Walmart does not have them in store but it's in the web catalog. Or used to at least, I didn't check since the initial announcement.

Once repacked, git is the most space-efficient.
My girlfriend wants to install Linux (Kubuntu) on her friend's computer to stop it from getting hosed and she is an art student. Not very tricky.
What about qooxdoo?
The data is encrypted before it leaves your computer. It doesn't matter who they give it to, it is only readable with your passphrase.

Better question: Does your system save time or money? No? Why don't you just use paper ballots.
Photoshop CS2 installs perfectly under Wine and they are working on CS3.
Quebec, computer science in college.

It was funny to have exams with SEX written in all caps all over
I've mostly seen OS in real usage because lets face it, who uses French for computing?
The best part is that the abbreviation is SEX. It's not even a joke.
