When you have to zap through the channels and see half commercials everywhere just to find 1 hour of television worth to watch, timeshifting to the programs you like but then not being able (or less being able) to avoid commercials, it might just be worth it.
I just hope that they will make donations, or really buy the support in such a way that it reaches the developers. They are what keeps the system going.
If a product is so good that it needs only minimal support, a direct donation to the organization or individual which develops this product would be the nice and probably the sane thing to do. They are saving big bucks with the use of OSS (whatever TCO studies says, I see the saving big time around me), so lets hope they are wise enough to give some back (20% would be a nice figure (-:)
The Japanese have the weirdest social deseases of the world because of the current social structure. Having a robotic girlfriend will not turn too many heads I guess.
Ok, the west scores pretty good with social desease too, but they are a lot less tech oriented than the Japanese, so if you live with your robotic friend in the west, it will make you a complete social outcast for sure.
Is a world were everybody can have superpowers hard to design and control? Everybody who plays long enough and survives is able to start interacting with this world in such a way that it can become disruptive to other players.
Google will most likely just change it terms of use, so that next time the advertiser will be sued instead of them.
The small print text adds in newspapers with the same kind of expressions do not get the newspaper sued. Probably Google should talk with the Sun or something for their terms of use.
I think the research misses some points: How do these companies think they will add the OSS community?
How do they think they will be supported? (Yes, lame question, I know how OSS support model works, but still, a company manager thinks in terms of support contracts)
To take their business elsewhere, that way cutting the income of USPTO by so much, that they would not be able to keep providing their services. To prevent that from happening, they came to the conclusion that it is best for everybody, including those people using non standard named browsers (The standard names being: IE, Internet Exlorer). Luckily MS is not a monopoly, so it is just about keeping the internal revenue stream at a sufficient level by providing the services to the companies which desperately need this to be able to be competitive in nowadays america and the big bad global market filled with (software) pirates.
Hey, just get an onboard set for everything! No worries anymore, and no need for extra cooling either, plus a framerate at 640x480 which is quite acceptable!
Hey, not every gamer is a good gamer and needs all those graphics. In the end, just one is the best, let him/her have the high graphics. 640x480 is enough for the rest!
And still Doom3 is so dark, that 1x1 is a good resolution too, at least you have a framerate which is high, and a slightly in darkness changing pixel.
I like my big car (NOT SUV, I still make 3 times as many MPG as an SUV). I do not like the small cars since I do not fit behind the wheel of many of them (Long legs) and I feel less safe in them (there is less to be bend to pieces in an accident before I am squashed myself).
The MPG for a Prius is certainly not staggering though, and to say that you get a higher MPG when you add batteries is wrong too, your MPG stays the same, you just use another source. (It would be the same to say that my car gets about 70MPG when I am pushing it to the gas station since I have run out of gas. The car is moving, so you can calculate the MPG (-:
I would welcome a $6.000 converter kit for my car. It could be really interesting. I spend about $2500 to $3000 on fuel a year. If that can be cut back to half, then the kit will earn itself back in about 4 years. Not bad
Performs at 25% overclocking with dnetc-rc5-72 as CPU test as a 7Ghz pentium 4 (Benchmark done on 3.06Ghz pentium 4 and AMD 3500+). So is this pentium 4 really so fast at 7Ghz, or does it just show the gap?
That just has to do with the market. In the start when the automobile was introduced, a person had to walk in front of it with a bell to warn for the danger. Since with computers there is still this risk, so a sysadmin has to run around and warn everybody of dangers in the use of computers, people just can not let go of the car analogy.
Imperial gallons, hum, let me adjust my stardestroyer while I am at it. Anyway: I guessed gallon to litre number. A bit on the high side, I better not go into trading (-:
They actually say that OpenOffice and opensource has lower TCO if the rest converts to it too. The conversion costs are what drives up the cost to MS level. Nice detail (-:
That is way above the $3. It only affects driving a little for a short period of time (like 0.3% for a year in mileage, 0.15% in the long run). People do start buying more efficient cars.
I see the point. Can you answer one more question for me: In the Netherlands where I live, the biggest problem in getting some opencourseware of the ground, is cooperation. In word and on paper the schools and universities cooperate, in reality schools really do not cooperate, and actually even pretty much lack a system for knowledge development, and universities have to compete for students, but still cooperate. The Netherlands is really to small to be able to write the books together anyway, so they are thereby forced to use foreign (mostly english) books, or print printed by the university themselves (bad 20 to 30 year old copies with handmade graphics, some handwritten or typed notes for the corrections, etc).
My question to you is: Do the universities and schools where you live want to cooperate so they can bypass the publishers? Because if that cooperation factor is missing, then there is not a lot of chance to bypass the publishers even for the smallest work.
Information Technology Management means you want to control the techies, but are to lazy/not smart enough (all math and stuff, OOOOO)/not willing/too smart (let other people do the hard work), but certainly not that you can program. I have worked with enough of these grads to know that in general they are a disaster, and then try to tell you how to do your work. My average reaction: Go and do a real study please, and do not come back after you finish it .

Does this then mean that apple just gets the patent overturned or that they themselves will get the new patent.
In the first case: Nice, in the second case: who cares.

Don't worry RIAA, one day it will be as you thought it was, and that online piracy will be bigger than the offline version.
Hey, somebody has to comfort them!

Don't say that I already made mistakes in my little post which w3schools could have prevented (-:

A lot of other CSS sources are already being quoted now, better start bookmarking this /. article then.
No anti-aliassing available then. Doom3 will look like doom1 that way
So does the mouse work??

And yet this is standard operating procedure with online casinos. The big casinos just follow suit.

1 gallon=~4.5 ltr
1 ltr=Euro 1.4= $1.6
1 gallon in the Netherlands=$7.2

slapd is the one I am talking about (-:, active directory is miles of ahead of that in way of user interface and how it is used.
