Flixster's gonna get sued for trademark violation, using the ISP logos the way they do. I can't imagine an email provider who says "we'll never ask for your password over the phone" being OK with this use of their trademark.
Yes. When Jews cross the dateline, we don'tknow what day it is anymore, much to the consternation of those of us who may need to travel to Japan or Hawaii.
You can't expect your boss to be truthful if you're not. We expect more from the people given positions of power and responsibility than we do from the burger flipper... There are certain skills and character traits required to be a manager, that are a unique qualification to be a manager. Such traits include organization skills, communication skills, the ability to see a bigger picture, and the like. Honesty is not unique to being a manager -- it's a trait required to function any capacity in society.
I doubt that the results would be any better if you surveyed a the general public to find out whether they told the truth or lied. Honesty is an important that's sorely lacking in our society, one that we each need to indepenantly work to develop. When you take your 13 year-old child to an amusement park, do you say to him "you look 12" and use that to get a discounted children's rate? Do you lie your way out of parking tickets? Honesty is a trait that everyone needs to develop. You can't expect your boss to be truthful if you're not.
I'd be pretty surprised if you couldn't find a Mac app to check for wellformedness without being connected to the net. After all, xmlstarlet can do it on UNIX systems from the commandline.
Spreadsheet 2000 is certainly a different concept in the realm of spreadsheets
Looks like a very innovative alternative to traditional spreadsheets. Unfortunately it appears not to scale.... The whole idea of SS2000 was to dramatically simplify the construction of simple spreadsheets. Unfortunately while it likely met that goal, the same features made more complex spreadsheets extremely difficult to work with. For instance, trying to debug a complex formula in Excel simply requires the user to click on the cell and read the formula. The same task in SS2000 may be extremely difficult, the formula filling several pages, or alternately being built several layers deep (compounds of compounds) so that there is no single view of the formula.
Kudos to the folks who worked on it though for being brave enough to try something different.
I was aware of that, so I carefully worded my post to not imply that it was any better or worse.
I've often wondered if there is a "Unix way" to do spreadsheets--that is, a way to put data in a plain text file and then do analysis on it. The answer is to useyourfavoriteprogramminglanguage.
They should all be able to do graphs by Talking to gnuplot.
It's a matter of ease and exclusivity. With Google, they still advertise 3 or 4 other services on each results page, in addition to their own (and in addition to whatever the highest ranked result pages naturally are). It's no easier to use Google's offering (1 click to get there) than it is to use a competitor's offering (also 1 click to get there).
With Microsoft's monopoly, they preloaded the web browser into the operating system. Any program that needed a web browser was configured to automatically choose Internet Explorer first, and you were running Internet Explorer anyway because it was integrated into your file manager. Getting any other browser required more effort, and the result was less integrated than Microsoft's own offering.
Strangely enough, Google doesn't advertise their calculator features when you search for "calculator" -- that's something that's integrated right into their search box, so it's a slightly more comparable case to Microsoft (but still not very similar).
The whole process took 10 minutes from walking in the front door to walking out again. I didn't have to show ID. I can see the utility of computerized systems for giving independence to disabled voters, but I don't understand the mad rush to implement it for the general populace.
Why do we all need to vote on the same day? Why do we need to congregate at designated areas? I can do my banking securely online, why not vote? Why not have online voting?
Because the day we have online voting is the day I come to your house, put a gun to your head and demand you vote for George W Bush. At least at the polling place, there are poll workers to ensure that no guns make it in, and no reliable reciept makes it out.
Have a look at Three Ballot Voting. Now, there are severalcritiques of Three Ballot voting out (I just found them, so I haven't read them) which may turn to point out that three ballot voting isn't a good idea, but the main point is that the paper is simple enough that someone can read it and understand the principles at play in an election.
These days, you can patent anything. Linux probably violates some of Microsoft's patents -- but they're probably stupid patents that will be overturned by a court.
I think I may be better off, never having been taught explicitly what to trust on the internet. I think you have to develop a feel for a number of different factors, including how much expertise you have in the subject matter already, who publishes the page (and what their goal is), what *YOUR* goal is, and what you're risking if you use untrustworthy, incorrect, or malicious information.
BitTorrent does not (and should not) mean "I'm hiding something illegal here". It was first designed to deal with massive slashdotting of RedHat's mirrors (and other phenomena like that) when new RedHat releases came out. Likewise, I would expect the Java GPL announcement to generate quite a flash crowd of people who want the source code.
Hopefully they'll all have something to contribute to getting the source compiling.
He broke the law. The law doesn't pronounce you innocent because you have good intentions, and the prosecutor won't have leniency. His best hope is to convince the jury that he shouldn't go to jail because he had good intentions, but the prosecutors will probably do a better job of convincing the jury that he should.
If I were on the jury, and the facts pointed to convicting him, I'd have to vote to convict, despite his good intentions.
Notwithstanding what the FSF says about dynamic linking, I'm sure that as cases come up in court, courts will work out a fair solution for dynamic linking that may take in other factors such as how many different libraries implement the same interface (i.e. whether one could plausibly say that their code is not linked specifically against the GPL'ed code.)
Incorrect. No part of the Nvidia driver is licensed under the GPL (see/usr/share/doc/nvidia-*/copyright on a Debian distribution). The Linux kernel is licensed under the GPL, but Linus does not consider all binary-only kernel modules to be derived works (only some of them). See http://kerneltrap.org/node/1735.
Thus, our graphics drivers don't appear to be GPL violations.
Apple UNIX will overtake Linux at the expense of whose market share? Windows? or Linux?
And have they figured out how to count Linux installations yet? (A very hard problem since you can just download Linux off the internet for free, so there are many more ways to get it)

That doesn't mean it's not expensive to litigate.

This can only be taught by experience.

Linux developers everywhere will start searching, so that they can present her alive to police so Hans can get on with his life.

But Amiga wasn't first. The Mac "Bomb" preceded it, and was notoriously useless for troubleshooting.
