You would need a 5th axis to do the 3D millwork efficiently which makes setup a little more complex. The cost of $5k probably includes CAD/CAM design time as well.
Under the GPLv2, in a simplified nutshell, you do whateverinthell you want with the code and then make your changes available for everyone else. The GPL *is* a legal binding contract and whether Oracle (or anyone else) likes it or not, they can't take back what has already been released nor can they prosecute someone for monkeying with GPL'd code which has already been released.

When I am warming the car up in the winter, I hook the tail-pipe up to the dryer vent. The warm exhaust comes in through the laundry room and rises up to the second level bedrooms. It does make our clothes smell a little bit, but warms the house up nicely after an hour or so.
I can guarantee you, there were no (real) Scientists involved in this "UFO" hypothesis. No scientist worth his salt is going to jump to a claim like that based on evidence that looks like a sawn-off tree trunk in a flooded marsh. Until physical samples are taken from it, it's all vapor.
1) Hire 150 people from the unemployment line 2) Purchase 150 white jumpsuits, boots and hardhats off Ebay 3) Purchase 150 rolls of Downy (The Quicker Picker Upper) 4) Announce clean-up effort to media who roll the vans 5) CNN is ablaze for a week with pics of clean-up efforts and dirty paper towel 6) Next week, all is forgotten 7) Split the $94M three ways with other vampires running the corporation
If this goes anything like Monsanto, when the patented genes end up being transferred via procreation the derived works will belong to the patent holder. If you're a huge pharmaceutical corporate behemoth, this is great way to farm organ transplants on the cheap.
The real issue at hand here is that the earth's environment is changing into a less hospitable space for humans and we don't know for certain how to change that. There are many, many, many systems at work which are affecting the global climate and venting heat into space is only a small portion of one system.
The REASON we have too much heat is at the core issue. If the production and retention of CO2, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and other greenhouse gasses (GHG) is not curbed, it will not matter how much heat is lost or retained because the systems producing the GHGs are still in place.
TFA is focusing on the flame when the candle is the problem. Besides that, even without seeing any numbers, I would bet our GHG production has already exceeded the rate at which the heat it produces is lost to space. (were making more heat than what can be vented to space anyway)
What's the difference if G+ (or Facebook, or Twitter, or ???) knows my real name or not?
It's very simple. The right to someone's privacy should be their own decision, not based on a decision of some monopolistic conglomerate. Big Business is getting waaaaayyy too much leverage in areas of politics, patents, civil liberties, environmental damage, consumer health risk and legal system influence (aka: bribery). If people don't start pushing back collectively, there isn't much hope of freedom for the future.
1) because it's new
2) because it's prettier
3) because it's thinner (see #2)
4) because mine sucks (see #1)
Nobody ever upgrades because:
1) The hardware guys cut radiation emittance by 35% in the new model
2) The dot pitch has been embiggened. I can actually see a whole page of email now
3) On screen keyboard keys have gotten 15% bigger. I can now type easier.
4) Devs have added support for IMAPS now so I can use my home mail server
5) The new model uses 12% less electricity now so it's better for the environment
Several reasons why Antivirus is a fail:
1) 0-day. Your AV will never pick it up
2) polymorphism - if the virus sig changes, you're hosed
3) People think: "Since I have AV, I can't get infected"
4) People think: "AV didn't find anything wrong, so I must be clean"
5) When AV doesn't work, people assume it's broken
Antivirus has evolved into a "solution" when it's clearly not capable. How many infected windows installs have you found where Norton took a head-shot, or some kind of AV *was* installed at one time but got smoked?
What's needed: OSs need to plug their holes. Browsers could be fixed so it doesn't hand off malicious content to system executables. The OS itself should be trimmed down so not everyone is running SMB/RPC (or other commonly exploited services) by default. Executables which handle web contect could be sandboxed and run by a lower privilege user (this can be done in Unix, so why not windows?). Why do these things not happen?
AV is great when it works but it's proving not to be enough.
Definitely puts Oracle in an difficult position but does the current owner of a company assume the liability of "word-of-mouth" statements by a former owner? What's more, are they actually a legal binding agreement? I like Oracle about as much as I like Microsoft and Apple, but it seems to me that what it comes down to is Google would need to produce an actual legal document signed by Sun to make anything matter out of this.

if so, i would find it interesting to see how the united states addressed the false positive issue.
Nooooooooo...

I think you are confused with another United States. The US exports just about everything it can get it's hands on (including fish) http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2009/tables/09s1267.xls
...and that means extravagance should not be bounded, espeicailly in the oil-rich middle east (or Texas).

Not sure where you're coming from with that. (the bulk of) Java was open sourced in 2008:
"Dionysius, God of Wine and Leaf brings news that Sun Microsystems will be removing the
last restrictions on Java to make it completely open source."

That said, I have no idea what Oracle's beef is with google other than classic microsoft paid-for rape-and-pillage of the US legal system. I do know many,many of Oracles claims have been thrown out:

The way the $96M will break down:
1) Hire 150 people from the unemployment line
2) Purchase 150 white jumpsuits, boots and hardhats off Ebay
3) Purchase 150 rolls of Downy (The Quicker Picker Upper)
4) Announce clean-up effort to media who roll the vans
5) CNN is ablaze for a week with pics of clean-up efforts and dirty paper towel
6) Next week, all is forgotten
7) Split the $94M three ways with other vampires running the corporation
I keep clicking the "Click on a planet to start" button but nothing happens
Although it would be hard to distinguish if that's a reference to Foxconn employees or Apple fans.

they still have $120.00 keyboards and $90.00 rats they can sell.
As long as you don't have a floppy disk ;)

Would have been more fitting... Followed by Open Wallet.
Paypal has never been hacked in 10+ years
Although I agree with your post almost in it's entirety, this should be changed to Paypal has never *reported* being hacked in 10+ years
Most companies will only report a breach if it's not possible to avoid public knowledge of it.

And FB requires you to use your real name as well.
Huh? I haven't used facebook lately but the last time I did this wasn't a requirement.
