I can canonically say this does not happen. Within three days of buying my 1st iPhone, I had it replaced at the Apple store seven (yes, seven!) times, for bad pixels, and every time they simply grabbed a replacement phone from the back, popped the SIM out of the defective unit, slid it into the new phone and activated at the computer thay had at the counter.
This is in Canada, on Rogers.
Yeah, go ahead and download the stolen copy.
Here's a simple breakdown:
If the book is in print, then it and it's content are a product you can buy from it's manufacturer... and you should do so.
If the book is not in it print, then the used book itself is a historical artifact, while it's contents are historical information. Historical information should be freely available to the public, so, if you're just after the information, there's nothing morally gray about downloading the digital version. If you want the actual physical artifact, the used book, you should buy that, and not steal it. But when the book is out of print, it's purely a matter of preference, not morality, whether you choose that you want the artifact or the information.
It seems very likely that with the SDK, producing an application allowing the use of the built in camera to decipher barcodes would be entirely feasible. Not that I'm saying that the iPhone would solve his problem, but it would still be a neat application.
Hey, this is trailing a little off topic, but I'm about to do just that with my home server - move from a 2 disk mirrored md array to a 4 disk raid-5 array, and was unaware that there was any special method to ease the transition the way you'd suggest. Can you point me at an article that would provide more information on this? It'd definitely be a lot easier then having to back up the entire contents of the array.
The point is that if the girl carrying the books would have reacted any differently to a female who'd attempted to help her with the door*, then her reaction was inappropriate. Regardless of any life experiences she may have had, her reaction was sexist and uncalled for. No possible (or impossible but theoretically describable) life experience could make this action non-sexist.
This is not to say that her life experiences do not have value, it is to say that the value of her life experience (whatever that may be) and the appropriateness (is that a word) of her choice of reaction are in no way connected.
* Before anyone jumps on my saying 'how do you know she wouldn't have said the same thing to a female who'd helped her, well, the rather gender specific nature of the words in her reaction leaves me to believe she would have taken a third option. If you honestly, seriously, believe she would have reacted identically, keeping in mind that reacting identically requires her refer to the female assisting her as an 'overbearing man', then I cannot argue with you.
Because 99.99% of human knowledge is absolutely and completely uninteresting and devoid of value to all but perhaps one or two people. The useless information would drown out the useful information to the point that the useful information would be nearly unfindable.
Doesn't sound like you've used many certified/'proper' UNIXes. Taking the time to go through the system and replace the built in tools with more powerful GNU replacements has traditionally been a large part of the 'UNIX experience'.
You may have a point about it being easier to install Ubuntu on a random untested piece of hardware than OS X, but. on the opposite end of the spectrum, installing Mac OS X on a Macbook Pro (made for use with OS X) takes fewer clicks and requires less dialog pages be clicked through than installing Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 1420 N (made for use with Ubuntu)).
That only speaks about doing it that way from the beginning - i.e., doing things properly from the beginning. It says nothing about releasing the code retroactively as a way of undoing past infringement - and as such, normal laws apply - meaning the past is the past, and if you infringed in the past, ceasing to infringe in the present and on into the future (by releasing the code) does not in any way change the fact that you are still liable for the previous violation - it still happened.
Secondly, the second paragraph you quote doesn't require they distribute the compiler. In fact, it specifically excludes the all componentes of the compiler in the latter half of the paragraph.
Okay, two questions. First, where in the GPL does it say that you have to release the source? Second, EVEN IF IT DID say you had to release the source, which it categorically DOES NOT, explain what legal fact would make it true that they'd need to provide the supporting compilers, etc?
Yeah, they're making a Mac version too. It's OpenGL. If there's a Linux version, they'll port it from the Mac version - you know, the one that uses OpenGL on a Unix-like (well, officially Unix now) operating system. Porting it from the Windows version would just be dumb.
Hey, I'm what they call a nerd. You may have heard of us. One popular nerdish past time (among some nerds, at least) is sitting at home all day, stealing data.
Curious, how does the second part of that actually work? Let's say, hypothetically, I was a German citizen with dual citezenship in, let's say, oh, I don't know, Australia. Let's say that I left Germany 10 years ago, and have been living in Australia since, until, one day, I'm arrested for shoplifting. Will I be charged for the crime by both the Australian and German governments? What if the Australian court finds me not guilty, will I be extradited back to Germany to stand trial again there?

Quicksort in 2 lines of Haskell: qsort [] = [] qsort (x:xs) = qsort (filter (= x) xs) Impossible?

'If they completely replaced the Kernel, nothing would work.'
I think you just guessed the killer feature of Windows 7.
The mechanical turk most certainly solves a practical problem if you need to defraud someone.
Am I the only one who first read this is 'Millions in Middle East Lose Interest', and was hopeful for a moment about the future?

Why does this surprise you? Macs are generally cheaper from a hardware standoint. It's one of the main things they're known for.
Yes. That's ~exactly and exclusively~ what more (giga)hertz means: it's faster.
Now, what it doesn't say anything about is whether it's higher performance.

In 2007, sadly, calling voters either 'capable of putting any class in their place' or 'the ruling class' would be a lie.
This name was considered, but the acronym PoP was already taken by Python on Planes.

I think you made a typo. You typed 'SP2' when what you meant was 'SP1a'.

"And more to your point, you have a right to know what the government spends but not necessarily how much everyone working for them makes."
Unless there's a law on the books specifically stating that you have that right... and oh, look, there it is.
