We have little sunlight in the winter, and it's weak (we're further from the sun), and yet in the summer we have oodles of sunlight, and it's strong (closer to the sun).
Well, there was me thinking that it was the sun hitting at an oblique angle, plus the longer path through the atmosphere that caused winter.
While you're enlightening us with your astronomical knowledge, perhaps you can explain how the two hemispheres of the same planet can be at different distances from the sun at the same time, in order that Australia can have its summer when Europe is in the middle of winter?
however, it should be noted that involving test users outside of the development team also comes free with open-source software, since every development release is available to anyone for download.
It's not just numbers of people, it's the right type(s) of people. Users of open-source software, particularly if it's beta/bleeding edge are likely to be tech savvy - including a disproportionate number of other OSS developers. They can work around problems, understand cryptic error messages and generally be less intimidated and irritated than poor ole Grandma sixpack.
If you look at my other posts you'll see that I don't think too favourably about small software companies. I use the term fly-by-night and I think it is valid.
There are so many small software companies that any opinion you have must be based in an insignificant fraction of them and/or a very superficial knowledge of each. Still, never let the facts get in the way of a bit of astroturfing.
If you're a small software company you simply should not "accidently" infringe someone's patent. If you do the algorithm is too obvious.
In which case the original patent shouldn't have been granted.
you should do a patent search and be aware of the happenings in your industry.
What about patents so vague that they could mean anything and apply to everything? What about 'submarine' patents?
You can't compare SEC rules to those concerning the general public. The difference is that when the data comes from a brokerage house, that by definition constitutes 'probable cause'.
It is the ISP's 4th Amendment right to be secure in its documents.
Firstly, they may be the ISP's documents, but if it's customer access logs we're talking about, they'd be about me.
Secondly, even if the constitution says they don't have to hand anything over, there's nothing to stop them doing so voluntarily. That's voluntarily in the *cough* *nudge-wink* sense of the word.
Then why doesn't the conversion work both ways? If you warm up an electric fire, does it act as a dynamo? Fucktard.
The heat content of my hypothetical remains exactly the same.
To compress it, you're doing work. That is converting something (e.g. chemical energy in your muscles if you're using a bike pump). The air has gained, the arm has lost, and you so totally fail it.
I am glad you are so knowledgeable in biochemistry and specifically the brain's neuro transmitters. I wish you could have told that to my great grandfather so my grandfather, father and I wouldn't have had top suffer from his obviously not congenital illness.
It can't have been that serious, or it would have ended three generations back. Unless your great-grandmother, grandmother & mother all had some kind of loony fetish, in which case you must be one heck of a loony.

Took me all of 30 seconds to come up with that.
Retarded, more like.
P.S. to any scripts out there, it's "zubkkvo".

Now don't flame me for being antisemitic; given recent events in London, that seems like a good idea.

In other words, it has bollocks all to do with sunburn, and weg (196564) is a fucktard.
I bet the guy in the article has to beat the girls off with a shitty stick. Really.
LOL, that from an A fucking C! From where I'm looking, you're posting at -1 like all the other Assinine Cretins.
Sorry dude, I own the patent on spelling flames.
Was whoever wrote that either retarded or a script, or am I just tired?
Plus, the distance makes it bloody inconvenient to go round and kick the bastards' teeth in/firebomb their house etc etc.
You like totally fail it.

And unicode can fuck right off too.
