Reading this article I tried to find Nabokov's novel by searching for "lolita" on google. Considering the number of results this definitely looks like a popular novel but how come isn't Nabokov Book the first result?
It solely depends on the game reglementation. The game world is sovereign and belongs to the mmporg creators thus they can enforce any law they wish on it.
I am saying this programs are sexist and damageable to women image. They make women feel like second class citizen in OSS. In the end they might have the opposite effect of what they are trying to achieve.
They're free to do as they want. The GPL can be used by anyone, they don't have to "join" anything.
If I were a girl I would be more offended by an unnatural "Welcome, we don't act this way naturally but you're a girl so we'll try and be nice" attitude than a few stupid jokes.
Women are less skilled, less talented and thus should be helped and encouraged to participate in FOSS... But if they are maybe it's not a good idea to do thay... And if they're not then why the need for affirmative action?
The government is not legitimate because it can use force on its citizens without a binding contract. Yes democracy is a lesser evil compared to monarchy for exemple. No government or a minimalist government is even better. If the government kept to law enforcement for exemple, democracy wouldn't be so much of an issue. No government IS a system, it's called anarchy, and it does NOT mean cahos. No, the EU wants a standard compatible with smb, that's different. If people are unhappy with smb being MS only they'll switch to a closs platform solution that doesn't need to be smb compatible.
There can be regulation in a capitalistic free market society of course. It's just that it comes in the form of contracts.
The democracy doesn't bring a legitimate government, it just focuses on who has the power - namely the majority of the people. Any kind of power is possible in a democracy, it does not rule out absolutism or totalitarism at all. What really matters are: what are the limits of the power? And yes a democracy is more likely to bring up a government with limited powers than any other system. Samba would have an easier job if reverse engineer was completly, it is in Europe but not in the US where this interdiction is enforced by the governments and NOT by contract. Second an open standard instead of smb has its competitve advantages. If Microsoft is being bundled with computers that's too bad for us geeks but we shouldn't blame the goverment. There are vendors who sell without an OS, even with linux sometimes. Use those!
Well it depends. I am French and libertarian (a pretty rare specimem nowadays) , that is "libertarien" in French, since Liberal mostly lost his meaning. Extreme leftist or anarcho-communist would be "Libertaire". Europe has no "marketplace" to offer. What contract Microsoft and the European citizens bind into is none of their concern! And no they can't do as they please. Here's an example you might understand. July wants to date Mike the nerdy kid. Mike wants to date July. Brad is a big bully. So according to you Mike is free to 1) give is lunchbox to Brad every day so he can date July without being beaten up 2) not date July Would you say he can do as he pleases?
First: I concede I don't know about the first point. Second: ANY government is illegitimate.
Microsoft doesn't hold a coercive monopoly. I am a happy linux user. Microsoft never forced me to use Windows. Besides conmpetition forces them to enhance themselves to remain a "monopoly". The real value of windows is the Windows API. It provided a platform where developers could program with confidence that it would run the same for all the users. The day the same can be said about Desktop Linux its adoption will be very fast. And yes I believe this will happen.
The big difference is Enron used deception, they violated the contract they had with there shareholders. There are no legitimacy concerns when a contract is broken.
First, I think they are right by saying the specifications are unclear. That would be my "mainstream" objection/q. Second, any government power is illegitimate. The EU harms both its citizens and Microsoft by standing in between.
It's a kind of weird situation:
you wanted Futurama to be back
the audience wanted Futurama to be back
Yet there is a finite number of TV channels and 24hours per day... so even a profitable show can be voted of screen it there are some more profitable shows... You did consider a DVD release which I think is still on track, but should the opportunity have arisen, would you have considered:
- airing on the internet
- not being financed by a classical production company but by creating a "Futurama production" company and selling shares of that company to different investors to finance the episode creation, wages, sodas etc.
Exactly that's why most of the successes in open source are in tech related tools... however some developpers are interested in developping for popular projects, this creates a more need base effort that is currently driving the development of linux for desktop.. bounties are definitely going to become very hot in the next years.
It's about freedom, and yes it's about liberalism. Although it might be clear for most people I'd like to stress that the threat to open source software is not capitalism but corporatism, and the state. They're responsible for patents, the DMCA etc. Now the kind of pressure found in a market economy completly apply to open source. Developpers will migrate from one project to another as interest and popularity shifts etc. There is an evolutionnary process very similar to the one found between businesses in market economy, only it is much faster and smoother due to the conditions guaranteeing freedom. Indeed capitalism could learn from open source.
Well in France what they do is spend a lot of taxpayer money for education and then they use those same taxes to make sure brains get out of the country as fast as possible. Beats me.
Yeah it's just like done. There is a last hope to block it but the probability is extremely small... Of course a new government could cancel it but it's not going to happen anytime soon. Anyway people in France don't give a shit about this law, save geeks, they are to busy riotting in the street againt the evil liberalism.
Yeah I'm French and depressed about our politics.
Oh right they have this misunderstanding but you are much more intelligent and you don't... so they will systematically undervaluate stock that focus on long term investments right? well invest in those stocks and you'll become extremlely rich. Oh wait other people might also be doing this... oh I'm informed this brings back the stock to it's fair value... it's called arbitrage.

Install linux and buy crossover office if they really need some apps.

Every discrimination is stupid.
A good translation would be
Que je sois le premier a declarer:
J'accueil pour ma part a bras ouverts nos seigneurs et maitres robotiques.
and it's really a concern!
Seriously is this even a surprise?

Ya but Santa Clause is real right .. !? You have me worried here.
Capitalism is liberalism's economic system.
Mostly (*), but the converse is not true.
(*) it depends wether you include property in liberalism, there are anarcho-syndicalist or left-libertarians that do not
