Historically (including not so long ago) it has been legal to treat cheat certain classes of people (by breaking contracts), deprive them of their liberty, torture and kill them.
Would you apply these measures to slow down your competition just a tad?
Intellectual property laws are being used to steal said property, not just to defend it. In my view, using the laws in this way is unethical, and enforcing a patent on something you did not invent fits the description.
The old russian model springs to mind, where certain kinds of criminals where rewarded with extended action-oriented vacations in beautiful Siberia. Canada has large expanses of very simular real estate.
Oh they won't be so blunt about it. You will try to find out, and Google search, Googlepedia and the rest will show you a picture of a wonderful and diverse world that everyone experiences.
Of course its better to not have any of your illegal stuff in any kind of writing to begin with. On the other hand, laws are made retroactively, there could be regime change, or other unpleasentness.
They tell you the part of the screen you are not looking at is darkened ? How would you know ?
This is like the BS story about the refigerator lights going out when you close the door, don't belive it until you have done the research.
An approach like Wikipedia will arrive at a collection of definitions, explanations, theories etc. which are acceptable to a consensus of the community. It certainly allows for listing af alternatives, even "some crackpots think that...". But this is not where you look for radical innovation.
Of course, some people will eventually consider it The Truth(tm).
Accoding to the german version, a speaker (a guy talking, not an audio device) says that "in the future" train stations will be covered, at least those where the ICE trains stop (as opposed to just drive through). Currently only their "DB Lounges" are served by WLAN.
You misunderstand. I am not as dumb as I look, (even though it's called in-band, not in-line signalling), and I am not looking for sympathy, not from NeoSkandranon nor from google.
I am simply saying that the query is interpreted partly as a keyword ("weather"), and partly as data ("east podunk"). This however is not know a-priori to the user. This makes it harder to construct queries. I would prefer to specify myself what is a keyword, or syntax, and what is plain uninterpreted data.
And no, google is not in a position to tell me what I am looking for. I can think about that myself, thank you.
Actually, I suspect that google is using the same technique here as for their advertisements. All that is missing is the identification of their weather service.
Filtering "harmful" content, for example from the results of search engines, prevents people from even determining that someone else is saying "harmful" things.
Take the voluntary restrictions in Germany - it's historically understandable that glorifying Nazis is against some laws there, as is denying their crimes. But in my view, filtering search results so that a private person cannot find out that this is going on is a big problem.
I don't like the method of well-meaning interference with a search. When you enter "weather east podunk, NY" they first give you the current weather - with very little knowledge that this is what you are looking for. It's just as likely you are looking for historical climate data, or your friend Karl Weather living in Podunk.
This clutters up search results, and adds another kind of meaning to the search words. It has all the disadvantages of in-band signalling, and the signalling isn't even defined for the user.
The users have paid a fee so they can send and recieve data packets. It should not be the carrier's business what the users put in those packets, nor how they interpret the content.
Of course the provider should not have to support illegal activities (terrorism, fraud, spam, you name it). But speach between consenting adults is not an illegal activity.

Or suffering from caffeine and sugar withdrawal. In fact, this could be a scheme to put the softdrink companies out of business.

when global warming takes over, all you people will come crawling to Canada, begging for shade and fresh water, hehe :P
There are more providers as well, smaller ones, some of them only wireless. But you have to look for them.

Yes, as long as you are in the USA, and as long as the constitution stays that way.

for debugging, ddd works ok on top of gdb
Write whitepapers and similar documentation with LaTeX, it looks more believable. It looks better, and makes indexing easier.

For some reason, the Canadian Center for Inland Waterways is crawling my pages. I should send a bill to my government every month.
Parent is correct, look up "functional programming".
Companies would behave nicer towards their employess if employess quit bad jobs more readily.

No, customizing a special-purpose supercomputer system is not the same as writing a desktop application. And yes, I know what I'm talking about.

I'm sure this gentlemen acquired enough ethics at Microsoft, so this will not be an issue.
Yes, it is indeed quite difficult to design a pretty box.
because you are not one of the editors buddies ?
