Fitness centers operate similarly, they have numbers on how many times each member comes per week, and based on that (and other parameters) they price access to the center.
Now, imagine you buy a year membership card.
Then you start showing up each morning, and again in the evening.
Then the fitness center comes to you and says: "You can come here, but we are going to lock all the doors when you show up, because you are using up to much resources and thus denying them to our other members.
At least where I went to school, we were tought a thing, then that it didn't apply to all cases, we were encouraged to find other ways to solve things.
I even learned that common sense is often wrong.
The key point is that schools should teach people how to filter out bullshit, and scientific critical thinking is the only way to go. And there is absolutely nothing scientific about the "intelligent design" theory.
The $5 is supposed to be a symbolic gesture, saying "you were right, we were wrong" to those who "who had purchased the game and been offended.".
It's supposed to be a "emotional closure" for those offended. It is not intended to be a meaningful sum of money you can do anything interesting with. It's symbolic.
If it would be, for example, $1000 USD, then you would have people coming from left and right, with fake receipts claiming the "compensation fee", for emotions they never had.
The reason that so many people aren't claiming their 5 dollars is probably because they never had any feeling of beeing offended by hot coffie.
Come on, seriously, what boy/man would be "offended" by seeing computer characters having sex, after installing a patch do see just that ?
"Net Neutrality", referes to "social" freedoms. That is, the "net" should not have deliberately build in social restrictions on it's use, that are beyond your control.
This guy, Richard Bennett, is referring to "technical" freedoms when he says that protocols such as UDP has way more "freedom" than TCP.
Couldn't they just ask the real-time developers to kindly find a real-time kernel to work on? Why try to make a non-preemptible kernel preemptible for the sake of real-time, if it affects non-real-time performance?
Running a non-real-time kernel, is like asking Eddie the shipboard computer for tea.
If you ever want to put the linux kernet into anything other than your standard IT server, a airplane, a missile or any weapons system for example, it is going to HAVE to be real-time-kernel.
The prouct that wins in a competitive open market is rarely ever the product a human would 'feel' was best. Often they would 'feel' it was an inferior product.
As much effort as you seem to have put into your post, the OS market simply isn't a "competitive open market".
Unlike hamburgers which you choose as a example, people don't go around shopping for an OS, over 95% of people buy a computer and the OS comes bundled with it.
The OS market is what economists call a "lemon market", that is, the seller knows much more about the product than the buyer.
Buyers try to look for "signals" about the quality of the product, such as word-of-mouth, price, reviews and advertising, but the feature of "lemon markets" still holds, which is that the "lemons" get sold first.
The trick is to use the "header_checks" and "body_checks" to look for signs of the email having being sent out from your email server in the first place.
people will choose the software they feel suits their needs best. shockingly it's not always going to be linux.
You are right, but the keyword is "feel"..
If I spend a million dollars in publicity where I suggest product X is, not only, superior to product Y, but also that everybody is going for product 'X'.
It would be normal for you to "feel" that product 'X' suits you best, even though it doesn't.
Well, most of this is accurate, except that they are all right, i.e. what DeAngelo, Mystery and Style are teaching is not mutually exclusive.
If you look deeper you realise that they are all teaching a different side of the "ball", but you have to have it complete so that it all works.
The only one I would recommend against is Stephane. Not that he doesn't get laid like a pornstar, but he simply can't teach.
I subscribed to DeAngelo's Interview series (and also downloaded heaps from emule), and after a few months, I just realised the "big picture", not that I have mastered it yet, nor that I intend to (Way to much work and time).
The assumption in C&F is not that women are your enemy, think "Tease to please", you have to convey high status, positive view on life and generally being a funny guy top be around. Well, actually you have to *be* that guy. Because just like you said, women will figure it out in a few seconds if you are just putting on a mask.
I haven't listened a lot to the guy yet, but I think "Carlos Xuma" with his "Alpha life" is a guy who I would recommend.
Why should you or anyone opt out? If they can't give you the bandwidth they promise you in your contract - they shouldn't have advertised it as such in the first place.
Oh, they give you the bandwidth all right. It's a properly working connection mechanism that isn't working.
What Comcast is doing is like a telephone company promising you free telephone calls, and then faking a busy tone when you try to use the service.
It wasn't an anti-satellite missile. It was an anti-missile missile, and it only worked because of the decayed orbit of the satellite. This missile would not be able to touch a "working" satellite.
Did you know the Eiffel Tower is going to be dismantled ?
I can sell it to you cheap, and you can sell it to scrap metal and make a fortune !!
The difference is, that the "Chuck Norris facts" is a fansite, he owns "the trademark" and he can "tolerate" that his name is being used by his fans.
It's a totally different story when someone turns out a book/movie which exploits his name, then it's no longer a fan based material, and I totally agree with him in suing the bastard.
Slashdot Mirror
In Soviet Russia .
You watch Facebook ..
Oh, wait ... WTF !!?!?
If the newspapers liftet both story and pictures from the blog, then that's a clear case of "for profit" copyright infringment.
Just because you find a story and pictures on a blog doesn't mean that they are public domain !
And she got a 20 inch penis ..

Do you think there would be any outrage ?

It's $5

It depends on two factors:
1. What are you protecting
and
2. Against whoom.
When you know the answer to those two questions, you will know the answer to your initial question,
This guy, Richard Bennett, is referring to "technical" freedoms when he says that protocols such as UDP has way more "freedom" than TCP.
The music mafia now only has to inject a few semi-child-porn images into a group or forum and the ISPs will block access to it.
Also, if you want to get rid of some political speech, use the same approach.
Soemtimes people just don't think.

Well, you open up your computer to find that the hard drive has been removed ..
And the rest of the PC interior has been carefully cleaned.

You can call "Mysticism" whatever you want, but at the end of the day, all he has to support his views are his personal feelings.

Sorry, but that only works if she already has a interest in the guy.
In the human mating ritual, female->male interest has to come first.
If you display interest first, she just owns you as a slave.

If you want legal advice, get a lawyer.
And money, don't forget the money.
First they ignore us.
Then they laugh at us.
Then they fight us.
Then we win.
Unfortunately for Balmer, the world just continues laughing at him.
Are you serious? The reason why you don't shoot people is that you don't want to go to prison?
Welcome to /. we have no empathy, we are the army of one.
