For starcraft, there are established build orders, but after about 12 minutes, you can change anything about your build, and there are usually a few points where you can change your build order based on scouting information. This is less true with mirror matchups, and there are strong recommendations, but there's usually a fair bit of freedom.
Google has computing power to spare. The developer time to convert their h.264 video to Theora would be minuscule. So it doesn't much matter if they have to convert all of Youtube to Theora as a one-time cost.
If, however, a Theora video of reasonable quality requires significantly more space, that's going to be a concern. Bandwidth more than disk space, and client-side bandwidth as much as server-side. Likewise, if Google could realize significant bandwidth reduction by switching to Theora, they probably would.
Chrome would also need to use Cairo for custom controls (pretty much just the tab controls).
I believe you can set window manager hints not to draw a border or titlebar (things like splash screens), though of course the window manager can ignore that. From the screenshots on the Ars Technica link, they simply haven't bothered to do that yet.
Except for sites that detect whether you have Flash installed and post a link to get Flash, only they make assumptions about what OS you're running and only link to the Windows version. Youtube is the only example of this I've seen, though.
Crimson Echoes looked like an NES game -- nothing to compete with any current SquareEnix project. If I were with SquareEnix, I'd be more likely to grant them an official license -- thereby protecting IP and trademarks while getting on better terms with the community.
Not to mention, it would possibly work as advertising and to keep interest in the series until SE possibly creates another Chrono Trigger game.
Train costs: $2.25/day Bus costs: $1.50/day Total: $950/year
A car would cost me around $300/year in gas or less, $1000 in insurance, plus some for maintenance. So it would be less than double my current costs, once I owned the car; and it would give me an extra four or five hours per week.
It's not the storage, it's the bandwidth. 50x50 is about 2k, so if you're only filming for a millisecond, storage isn't an issue -- 2GB is all. But you're not getting that onto a disk in a millisecond; you'd have a hard time getting it onto RAM.
On the other hand, if they're changing from 8 frames to a few hundred or thousand, that should be doable, and it's a huge leap forward.
Hulu is merely owned by the content providers. Even if it's a well-integrated division, the people in charge of that division want it to do well, and better than other divisions. Also, the cable companies are probably quite conservative, so they will wish to keep Hulu on a tight leash. At the same time, Hulu is effectively a well-backed, well-placed tech startup, so they will be relatively liberal, as their owners allow.
So if I try using Firefox on Haiku or ReactOS to watch Hulu, that is also circumventing the DMCA? What if Boxee ran Windows XP and brought up Hulu inside Internet Explorer?
If there's a label on a DVD saying I should only use it with a Sony DVD player and I use one from Fujitsu, does that violate the DMCA?
A lawyer might come up with an argument, but not based on "intended devices".
When I was working IT, we wouldn't give out local admin passwords to anyone, even if they were going out on a business meeting for a few days. If they needed admin rights, they would call us and only then would we give them the local admin account information.
Most of the time, there are age difference requirements for statutory rape. If you're 14, you can have sex with someone who is 13 without issue; but not if you're 17.
Similar restrictions would make sense regarding child pornography. However, that's pretty difficult to regulate or check. If you possess a picture of a 13-year-old and you got it when you were 13, but now you're 40, is that illegal? Can you prove that you got it when you were 13? Are you going to get it notarized?
A BS in evolutionary biology won't get you much of anywhere. A PhD can get you an academic position at a reasonable university and occasional grants. Ecology has some money in it, but not a whole lot, and it's mostly if you have an MS.
A rabbit in the Cambrian. A fossilized dinosaur with a human skeleton in its stomach. Things of this nature are quite contrary to evolution's predictions.
The company should be glad to know of this issue, as well -- a manager like that can give the company a bad reputation, and that makes it harder to hire good people at a reasonable price.
It's also theoretically possible for the compiler to use PGO, if there are safe optimizations that are too slow to use normally. I don't know whether any such optimizations exist.
There are fonts that I use on Linux that look ugly on Windows. There are fonts that I use on Windows that look ugly on Linux. But I prefer Brioso and Droid Sans Mono over Tahoma, so I'll take Linux font rendering any day.
This is reasonable if you have a small number of servers. Here, we've got Galileo, then Demosthenes, followed by Locke, followed by Terra and Setzer, and then we diverged and went with SparklePony. And that's all our servers. It's reasonably easy to keep track of them, especially since we have internal DNS -- you can type in "staging" to get to the staging server, or "build" to get to the build server.
Sean Callanan, a graduate student at Stony Brook University, has created a plugin system for GCC. It's been languishing in a branch for the past year or so.
Many people have wanted this branch to be merged from trunk, but a few people with licensing concerns have blocked it in the past.

Google decided early on a limited set of programming languages to support. C# didn't exist then.

Ironically, this is an argument for using Silverlight -- Moonlight is at a reasonable state and rapidly improving.

IRC is a higher bandwidth mode of communication than bugzilla comments. So it makes sense for Alexandre to ask to continue a discussion on IRC.
As we can plainly see that '-1' is in fact equal and equivalent to itself (without some peculiar paradox of identity), and thusly '-1 && -1 == 1';
Um, '-1 && -1' evaluates to '(-1 != 0) && (-1 != 0)'. This in turn can evaluate to any nonzero value, I believe.

Deus Ex: you shoot someone half dead and hide for a minute. "Huh...guess it's nothing." "Guess I must be imagining things."
Amusing, fun, but not realistic. Still, it supported stealth as well as guns-blazing, so that's worth a lot.
