By supporting and contributing to Open Source, they become part of that community, so yes they have returned the favor to at least them selves.
The community are not just the individuals. It is everybody and everything that contributes. They have the ability to use anything from Open Source. If they desire to do so or not is up to them, not to the community.
So the question is not if the community has given anything, but if IBM has taken anything and I would say yes. They are using code that is written by others.
We could go back to the "pre-9/11" screenings IF we made sure that every plane had a flight deck door that was secured against anyone in the passenger section getting through it for long enough for the pilot to make an emergency landing.
Imagine that we go back to pre-9/11 security and we DON'T put in those doors. Now imagine a bunch of terrerist pulling a boxcutter and slising the troath of one of the hostesses. Do you think that a) People hope that by letting them go quietly go to the cockpit they will survive or b) People jump on everybody whith something that looks like a weapen and beat him to death, including probably the airmarshal with a gun?
Yes, a blocked door would be nice, but it is not needed.
How about giving people choices instead of punitive measures for not being "environmentally responsible".
WQe tried that for a few years and brought us in the mess we are now. Had we started with this 'punishment' 50 years ago, things would not be as bad as they are now.
This whole thing is not initiated by the companies. It is initiated by the government who made it into a law. The companies did not want it. Also you can not use standard bags for your trash. What the companies did was market it as if it was their idea.
Is it going to save the planet? No. There is no one solution. There are just many small ones.
And if by "being green" they can make an extra buck, it is even better, because then "being green" will be much faster accepted. One does not exclude the other.
Let us look at that dent of 200.000EUR. I now pay 0.10EUR for a bag instead of getting one for free. The bag is a higher quality, so more expensive then the ones they gave away. Let us assume they make 0.05EUR on it (and I doubt it is that much). When my 10 cent bag is broken, I go to the store and get a new one FOR FREE. So they have 10 cents cost for the two bags and 10 cent income (not profit, income).
This is obviously not going to save the world, just like all the things you do won't. It needs ALL to be done and this is just one more thing that can be done.
Carbon neutrality or disguised corporate greed? You choose.
I choose not to choose. I choose life.
Seriously though, why can it not be both?
Nature wins, because of less plastic or paper bags. Supermarkets win, because of less money for bags to give away.
The fact that you do not take time to plan ahead and/or always have a bag with you is up to you to change. The problem is not that the new system does not anything good (for you) the problem is you not willing to do anything good.
In other words: If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
Yes and the other party will not stop pointing out how the Democrats increased taxes (to pay for it all) and people will buy into it electing Republican again in 4 years who then will continue to rape your rights and take your money. (Democrats and Republicans can be easily changed above)
As long as people do not start voting for an alternative, there will be no alternative. If you say that voting for an alternative will not work, please repair your democratic system before you try to export it.
if I choose to make myself available via a cellphone, it's not fair on my callers if I force them to pay for my choice in using a cellphone.
In all European countries it is clear that you are calling a cellphone. It is still the caller that can decide whether he wants to call and pay or not.
It is as if I pay a minimum in stamps and you are forced to pay the rest, no matter what I send you. Interested in a few pounds of paper advertisement?
I would seperate the content. First there is the MySQL part. Export it on a daily basis (or more often). You can export it as a whole or only those parts that you desire. Make a php page for each thing you desire to download and protect it however you like. Then point lynx to it to download the file.
The content is another matter. To update my sites I use sitecopy What I do is make the site localy and when I am ready, I run sitecopy and it will upload the site. As I do incremetial backups localy, I do have the previous version there. If this is not an option, it should not be too hard to use sitebackup to, uh, backup the site.
Put all this in a script and crontab should do the rest.

So now Germany is outsourcing to the USofA? Why don't I hear Americans compalin over that?
The price for correcting the Editors is being moderated as a troll, apparently.
It sounds less sexy then Maps used to show location
Yes it is. It can produce kidneys at a rate of about 1 every 9 months.

Tricking to reproduce? Humans have been done this for ages.
They do, but that is unrelated to the price of rice.

Dear editor,
You use the word hacking, but I don't think it means what you think it means.
On all other laces I would let it slide by, but this is /. and yes I blame the editor, because (s)he should, uh, edit the stories.
And also wait for 5/10/15/20/30 postings and randomize them, so there won't be any F!rst P0st

Anybody have some MAC addresses from the RIAA? That way people can use those in some semi-random rotating system and they can sue themselves.
After all if the IP can be linked to the MAC, the MAC can be linked to the user, so anybody with that MAC will be guilty.
Wish I had modpoints.
We have no bags at the supermarkets anymore, unless you buy them. So almost everybody has bags or boxes that will last much longer.
Environment and such, ya know. Other countries do the same, I believe.
One can NEVER have enough beer.
I never knew that "The Postman" was a documentary.

Many hosting providers do not have this option and not even sftp. :-/
So that makes that you are stuck with FTP or need to change hosting provider, which is also not always an option.
I would say the same for that as well. WTF where they thinking to allow this?
