Its closed source. If there were an open source alternative that had as much market share as PDF that would be one thing. But PDF has nearly (if not completely) 100% market share for documents that are used in the manner PDFs are.
This all reminds me of the old story of the NASA which invested millions to develop a ballpen that can write in zero-gravity... well the russians solved the issue by using a pencil.
Wouldn't the lead crumbling and breaking off be a hazard in zero gravity? Did the Russians also collect loose sand and just throw it around when they reached space?
You're close. It's a parody of another signature about Wikipedia. It was something like "Wikipedia: The irrational belief that a group of trolls can produce an unbiased encyclopedia."
Not only can they sell their rights to a wide variety of companies
Which I clearly said.
they can also easily choose not to see their rights
I'll assume you mean sell. And that has what to do with sueing or trying to broker a deal with Google? My point is Google won't deal with individual content creators, and they won't be able to sue Google successfully. You instead talk about what content creators can do without respect to Google. Talk about off-topic.
It appears artists.... will have the choice when digging into Google's pockets either through a business deal or lawsuit. Which will they pick?
The first time an individual sues Google over YouTube content or makes a business deal for YouTube content, I want someone to e-mail me. My e-mail is John@TheLysts.com (yeah bots, pick my e-mail up. It's all over the place. I use Gmail so you're no problem for me). I say this because I doubt very much any individual content creator will be able to broker a deal with Google without going through a proxy. The fact the slashdot summary says artists will have a choice is just ridiculous. Artists have a choice of what company they sell their rights to. They don't have a choice about sueing Google or making deals with Google (except for future ones who can factor that in when selecting what company to go with).
They probably have the lawyers on retainer, so they pay the lawyers regardless of if they're sitting around twiddling their thumbs or scaring private citizens into coughing up money. They most likely cut back on the lawsuits whenever they need the lawyers for more legitimate purposes.
I suppose you laugh at people who think eyeTunes is spelt iTunes, right? They must be illiterate as well, right? Perhaps they really do think the body part known as the eye is spelt i.
Slashdot Mirror
Now, now. Don't talk to yourself.
It's bird shit, who cares?
Wouldn't enough of it end up reducing the effectiveness of the panels?
What's so horrible about PDF exactly?

Then does the 7.5 years include the cost of setting up the Windfarm?
The article didnt say anything about its physical size.
Did you specify its virtual size to differentiate it from the solar panels' virtual size?
I'm actually worried about a hostile takeover from sun. With Google being so reliant upon sun for their energy, they won't have any defence.
Does that include hiring someone to scrape off the bird shit from the cells?
They also have no DRM
Not all e-books have DRM. Only some do.
e-books don't fall apart.

How do you tag stories?
If they were worried about people having the information, they wouldn't release it in the first place.
And yet such people can still access the information they need to see if the firefighters are... already in their neighbourhood?
Aren't they illegal?
As I said, e-mail me the first time someone successfully does this.

In my defence I did say probably. I of course have no idea one way or another. But logic does suggest they do.

I don't drool on my shirt all day either.
You would though if you owned a shirt.
URI '/' only
I don't get it.
They don't, I checked. Several times.
buy one for you, X for the starving children in Uganda
Somehow I'd prefer to just give the starving children in Uganda food then a computer.
