If you have a program handling big amounts of data, in a kind of random fashion, then GC is completely irrelevant. Malloc and free, or new/delete have the same overhead. And then again you still see people do stuff like: if (ptr != NULL) {
delete ptr;
ptr = NULL; }
And then come and claim a GC is slower...
Sorry, from 100 C++ programmers there is probably 1 who can write a program that beats Java's garbage collector. I rather have 100 Java programmers where 99 don't need to care about memory, and 1 who takes care for the hard cases.
"Although the Berne Convention states that the copyright law of the country where copyright is claimed shall be applied, Article 7(8) states that "unless the legislation of that country otherwise provides, the term shall not exceed the term fixed in the country of origin of the work",[7]".
Notice that "the country where copyright is claimed" is contrasted with "the country of origin", which is to say that they are explicitly not the same country. Parsed correctly, that sentence means that the law in the country where the violation was alleged to have occurred applies by default unless the rules in the country of origin are more lax. And that means that the laws of Germany apply for the works in question. No ida why you disagree.
Plutonium should be handled with care but let's be honest about just how lethal it might be. As a heavy metal is it about 4 times as dangerous as mercury.
As a nuclear/radioactive material it is the deadliest on the planet. Hm... not sure about Polonium... we could again make a google / link war:D
No idea why you pick the stupid links instead of the interesting one.
Sorry, no idea what you are talking about. The difficulty to move your files from an Android device to an iOS device is exactly the same as opposite direction.
A kid in america can deccide if it uses heroine or cocaine. A peasent in south america can not decide not to take a farm job, first they may kill him for not tskkng the job and secondly his kids will starvve if he does not take the job.
No idea why your mind is so fucked up that you don't know how retarded your drug policy is (and how retarded your south america 'monroe doctrine' was. Letting the CIA destroy every legaly elected government and leaving the land for the war lords and drug barons, now you ccomplain they sell drugs to your kids. Learned something? No...)
Actually plutonium is not only radioactive but highly toxic.
The 50 : 50 lethal dose is in the milli gram range... and it does not take 30 years to die from it. Plutonium is wandering into the bone marrow... leukemia etc. will happen quite quickly.
The deal is this: for "20 years" (or whatever) you are granted a monopoly on the reproduction of your works. In the USA. In Europe it is 70 years after the authors death, varies a bit by country, though.
The deal is this: for "20 years" (or whatever) you are granted a monopoly on the reproduction of your works. The government will spend time, money, and effort, to the extent of imprisoning or even killing violators of your monopoly, during that term. Again, in the USA. Not so in Europe. Unless it is one of the new DMCA bullshit.
Well, the distance is 450km by train, by car it is longer.
Americans will also drive at or above 70 mph, so the trip would only take 4 hours instead of 5:30. There are to many speed limits for that, use a route planner if you don't believe me. There is no direct "free way" connection, you have to deroute far to the north or far to the south.
That doesn't really tell me whether road or rail transportation is better Well, there are many things to consider. E.g. just a few month ago EU banished roaming fees for mobile phones and mobile internet. Before that it was super inconvenient to drive with a car into Paris because of lack of navigation utilities (no internet)... of course you can prepare, especially if you have a competent co-driver, or preload maps etc. (but then you still have only the map and no navigation)
Of course we discourage car usage. First of all we want to save fuel, secondly we don't want the pollution in towns, thirdly we have public transport, so people should use it, or it is pointless.
So now we only have the problem of parking... basically every spot in Paris is a pay to park place. If you park in a hotel you pay extra $15 per night for your car.
For many city to city travel in Europe it simply makes no sense to take a car. Except you have special circumstances.
You've got it backwards. Why do you think you should be able to control a published work just because you created it? Because it is a natural thing. If you buy cloth and make a shirt it is your shirt. If I buy paper and write it is my book. Why should publishing the book give anyone the right to make a copy? Make a movie from it?
So you got it backward:D
I certainly see nothing wrong with exploiting authors, so long as they have a choice. And I think exploiting other humans and not letting them participate on your success of exploitation is a crime.
Because he has a master degree in law and says so!
I prefer the european model:D Not only because I'm european but because it makes more sense and gives more power to the creators, and less to the evil companies:D
No, the money comes in because the WORKERS produce new pieces of work After my recipes.
Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about, Neither have you.
because once you write the book and publish it, you get to sit on your fat ass and write nothing else while the checks come pouring in. First of all: there is noting wrong with that. That is how it goes for successful authors. Secondly: for every successful author are 1000 who don't make it.
You don't do anything of value after the book is done that justifies 120+ years of making money off of it existing. Of course you do. You entertain your readers. What the fuck is the difference between you buying a $10 book were the author is dead since 50 years versus a book that is hyped in the news? None! Either you like the book or you don't.
Meanwhile, the guy in the restaurant example is cooking food, ordering items, stocking, cleaning the facilities, paying employees, and generally participating in the local economy and society every single day. That is the author, too. He pays the bills of all the publishing infrastructure that is distributing his books. And if he does it himself he is paying the fees of Kobo, Amazon or iTunes etc. and either puts his books into the formats to publish on those sites or he pays one to do it for him.
Copyright is more like land. Land you have and you lease out. You have obviously no problem with rich land owners ripping off the people who farm it. But an author is the bad evil?
The land owner gives his lands to his heirs... The copyright owner may not...
Get a damn clue. There is a reason why we invented copyright 250 years ago (or more precisely when Albrecht Dürrer walked to the Emporer and demanded protection for his works... around 1500).
You... yes you as a person... are just a greedy bastard who never really thought those topics over.
My work is my work. And I demand that I have full control about it as long as I live, and then we can talk how long it is after my death. 20 year proposals are just utter nonsense.

In Europe we have no "public domain".
And in Europe we have no "the company who pays the author takes it all".
Your views on copyright is clouded by the retarded US copyright where a company like disney can exploit your stupid laws.
In Europe the laws are to protect the creators.
In USA the laws are to protect the exploiters.
I live in Germany ;D
We have the same dope as in Amsterdam.

No ida why you disagree.
Actually no,
because as a dentist you have a guaranteed income.
As an eBook writer not.
However I never heard that you can do a dentist course in an evening course.
In Europe they usually are not.
Why would they? That was the original question.
If you milk your cows 5:00 UTC and 17:00 UTC, you do that regardless of ordinary or DST at exact those times.
No,
why should I?
If you can not point out a single one, you have not read that one as well.
I know how the internet works, you obviously not.
The FCC has no means to shut off internet outside of the USA ... and they never would do it inside.

Exactly. That is why I said: I doubt someone banished launches in Europe, but I'm to lazy to google that as it is kinda irrelevant ;D
ESA and others launch from French Guiana. http://www.arianespace.com/spa...
Kourou, where the space port is, is 5 degrees north, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Which part of: it is a work in german language written by german authors did you not get so far? ...
It can't be in US "public domain"
Well,

And I think exploiting other humans and not letting them participate on your success of exploitation is a crime.
It's just in ones mind that you think that property is some sort of natural right as opposed to the product of common consensus backed up with force.
Because he has a master degree in law and says so!
I prefer the european model :D Not only because I'm european but because it makes more sense and gives more power to the creators, and less to the evil companies :D
Yeah, but that means likely you have to do more than just having a concrete pipe with neon lights.
And which of the many links shows how the FCC ruins the internet in Germany, or in Thailand or the connection between those two?
We are not talking about percent math.
We talked about: the planet has 8billion people.
1,7billion iOS phones gor sold.
Probably only 50% of those 8B have a smart phone, so that makes 4B smart phones and 1.7billion are Apples.
So: a market share of 12% makes no sense. No one is throwing iPhones so quick away that the market share would be so super low.
No,
the money comes in because the WORKERS produce new pieces of work
After my recipes.
Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about,
Neither have you.
