Damn it! I told you not to go around giving out our release process! That's company-proprietary information! *throws chair* You're fired! I'm gonna fscking KILL blindd0t!
Disks? Huh. You kids and your newfangled "disks". Why, in my day, we had paper tape. Except we were too poor to have a tape puncher, so we had to use a pencil! And we were too poor to own a pencil sharpener, so when the pencil broke, we had to use our teeth!
What he's saying is that although Microsoft will be distributing the JQuery framework as-is, they may decide to use it in a closed-source product, with custom changes that don't get sent upstream. I'm not saying that Microsoft will do that, because I'm not in a position to speak for them, but it would definitely not be outside of their usual MO. Furthermore, parents point is that there is nothing in the MIT license that prevents them from doing this. Whether you agree with the philosophy of the MIT license or not is out of scope and off-topic.
How about if Bush's campaign chair in Florida weren't put in charge of that states recount? How about if George W. Bush's corrupt brother Jeb weren't the governor of that state? How about if that lying cheating sonofabitch didn't steal the election?
Go ahead, Republicans, use your mod point! Strike me down! I will only grow more powerful!
Most MP3 players that can double as USB storage devices support Linux OOTB without modification. Very few players support OGG, although I have a Meizu Miniplayer SL (aka 'M6SL') that does.
I've seen the 4GB model for as low $50 recently, though $80 is far more typical. It comes in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB.
Well, nobody said it will be good for _you_. You're just supposed to believe that it'll be good for the economy -- in the same way, say, telemarketing calls or companies selling your private data are -- and saves the company some money, and _of_ _course_ they'll pass the savings on to you, the consumer.
Psssst. Hey, buddy. I've got 10 copies of Duke Nuke 'Em Forever. Wanna buy any?
Is it right to make his wife suffer for his antics? The fine and his obvious financial distress would probably mean that her medical treatment would suffer. Sure- she doesn't have to stay married to him, but most people would admit that this kind of loyalty deserves to be rewarded- in other ways than painful, long, often-humiliating death.
Look, here's the way I see it: she married him. I mean, she has to know, and has had to know for a long time that the guy is an asshat. And, despite knowing that he's an asshat, she stayed with him.
And if she doesn't know, then it's obvious that she's either very stupid or mentally derranged.
So, unless any part of that last sentence is true, then the fact of the matter is that it is her own damned fault and whatever happens to her is the consequence of poor choices. And, if, OTOH, she is either mentally incompetent or mentally handicapped, there are government programs that help with that.;)
What you fail to realize is that Zymergy very likely just invested in what will very soon become a collector's item. If they stop making them, there will be only what exists in their warehouse space now. He'll probably be able to resell that thing for at least twice, maybe even 3 times what he paid for it.
Jack Thompson, among other things, submitted porn to the courts, accused multiple judges of bribery in open court and public filings, violated numerous ethical rules regarding practice without a license, good character, etc. He falsely represented himself as being the lawyer for criminal victims, profited off their suffering, and then lied in court about it. He accused other lawyers of just as bad offenses, without a shred of evidence. On a more personal level, I can confirm that years ago, he physically broke into at least one lawyer's office to drop of papers and "scare" them (I know the lawyer personally).
The only real question that remains is why is that he only got permanent disbarrment and a $43K fine? And by that I mean, why didn't they string this man up a 50 foot pole by his genitals while publicly flogging him and simultaneously scratching their nails on a chalkboard mere inches from his head?
Actually, aside from the VWs horrible electrical system (which I agree with you, there), VWs have one advantage over their American counterparts: if you do the diligent and careful maintenance you describe, your VW will just keep going, as opposed to the American cars that are built on the philosophy of 'planned obsolescence.' American cars are built to be disposable.
Why do people give Ford grief about some ancient car they drove in college? If you want to compare Toyota to Ford by lumping in cars from the 1950s, then lump in Toyota's cars from the 1950s. I'll bet they made pieces of crap back then, too.
YMMV. The truck I drive most often is a 4-cylinder manual transmission Ford Ranger with almost 150,000 miles on it. Runs like a top, and I've never had to do more than the usual maintenance on it (oil changes, brakes, tires, etc.)
YMMV. The vehicle I drive to work, because its good on gas and I don't mind getting into a collision with it, is my 4-cylinder manual transmission Ford Ranger with almost 150,000 miles on it. Runs like a top and I've never had to do anything more than the usual required maintenance.
As I said above, BMW 1-series is price-competitive with mid-range Toyotas, and VW is price-competitive across the board. McDonald's is not popular because of its pricing -- their pricing is actually the same or higher than most of its competition.

Oh, wait...you meant something else, didn't you?
Surely there are enough nerds on slashdot to figure these out. Or are we not as smart as we say we are?

And? Do you want a cookie for pointing that out, or do you actually have a point?

Same thing. Different pair of liars. Vote for the one you dislike the least.
Sad, but true.
We need instant run-off-voting. Voting should never about the 'lesser of two asshats'.

I dunno, but Thompson is from Florida. There are people down here that still practice things like Voodoo and Santeria.

Ford is just a joke at this point.
