No, actually, it's one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard in a very long time - can you imagine trying to run a company like Microsoft as a couple hundred thousand "sole traders"?
Yeah, who does that punk Torvalds think he is? Oh wait, you were talking about running a company, not producing software.
Clemson is a land grant college in a small town, hence MooCow. The "GO COCKS!" was, I suspect, contributed by a student/alumnus/alumna of The University of South Carolina, Clemson's archrival and home of the Fighting Gamecocks. As an alumnus of South Carolina, I'll kick in an extra GO COCKS!!
f you leave a newspaper (hey, remember them?) lying around in your house and a visitor reads it, they'll be liable for the sales tax on not just that paper, but for a subscription to the newspaper.
Are newspaper purchases subject to sales tax? I never get charged for it.
Epistemology is the study of knowledge, including how we can justify (or reject) our beliefs.
By your response, I take it that by bias you mean confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is when we seek evidence that supports our beliefs and ignore/suppress evidence that doesn't. The OP might be doing that, but I prefer to believe (at least initially) that he is honest.
One of Arthur Clarke's early and best stories is a cautionary tale on the hazards of introducing newly developed weapons in wartime.
It seemed to work for the Americans. Also, a century after the American Revolution, the British were outgunned by Boer farmers at Majuba Hill. Perhaps the British were too conservative.
I don't believe it was a machine gun, but a breech-loading rifle (by Patrick Ferguson). Had it been mass produced, the British would have wiped the Americans of the face of the map. Indeed, Ferguson had such a rifle during the Battle of Brandywine, when an American officer rode into easy range. Ferguson spared him because of his majestic calmness. Some historians have claimed that the officer was Washington himself. If Ferguson had killed Washington that day, we would have Her Majesty's likeness on our money.
Although my understanding is that the British Army itself rejected Ferguson's idea.
with the resulting Amendment from Hell, the 14th, in the 1800s killed off that option entirely when "social science" sunk its fangs into the body politc in the 1900s.
And what does the 14th Amendment prohibit?
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
It also prohibits states from repaying Confederate war bonds.
So someone could actually use a laptop for hosting a crucial web site, but you wouldn't "consider" it to be production ready without actual testing. Hmm . . .

Welcome to Slashdot, Professor Tanenbaum.
More like have one of her hands replaced with a hook, one of her legs replaced with a peg, and being restricted to the utterance "Arrgh".
Wouldn't the previous November have been in 1999? Or was the article from 2001?
Or represent the RIAA.
But what if the original reasons, while supportive of your conclusion, are not themselves conclusive?

So neither police nor juries matter in the enforcement of drug laws? Also, the laws against cocaine are biased against blacks (crack versus noncrack).

I wrote my dissertation in TeX. Could I have submitted the DVI files over IE? This was in 1992, I don't know if pdftex was available then.
What parts of MSN don't work with Opera? Hotmail seems fine.
But what if a woman is not pregnant? Her eggs are inside (are already made), whereas men produce sperm in a more exposed region.
The racial makeup of our prison population may say more about our drug laws and their enforcement than about the prisoners themselves.
So all attempts at (epistemological) justification are biased? How would you justify such a claim?
And what kind of bias?
I don't if he meant "simulation", but a simulation of justification makes sense (something appears to be justification even though it is not).
The only vagueness I see is in your claim that the 14th Amendment destroys federalism.
I guess Tom Cruise will try to leave a briefcase bomb in Wikipedia's headquarters.

Where would FOSS be without GCC?
MS Office got the nod not for its components, but for how they worked together.
