Have not used dating sites for a while, but anyway: with online dating, what matters most is photos and the stuff a person writes about him/herself in a free form. Also, it is stupid not to try to contact a person you like if he or she happened to reject 82.5 percent of people with your criteria.
Most likely this is a troll, but just in case it's not:
1) You should always research license issues before commencing work. 2) GPL does not require you to publish changes that you do not distribute outside of your company. 3) Ext2 has an offline defragmenter. Its successor ext3, which is most widely used now, does not require defragmentation in practice. 4) Token Ring is supported in Linux, search Google. 5) The gcc compiler has a GPL exception that allows you to compile proprietary software with it.
"Bandwith" apparentl;y is much like "rights" It's made up as we go along. Second, the only people who think they can take all of a shared resource (tragedy of the commons) are the same who failed remedial physics.
Tell me who exactly produces and allocates those resources? Right, ISPs do that. They're not like a common pasture or water body, they have an owner who manages them, so your tragedy of commons analogy is pure bullshit. It's perfectly within the capabilities of ISP to share AND PROMISE less resources from the beginning and do what they advertise. But they prefer false advertising.
Or the right customers but that's not politically correct in a finite world with infinite rights.
Yes, customers acquired through false advertising are not right customers. The ISP in question try to target a larger audience than they actually can handle without breaking their promises. This is a problem with their business model.
It also says that continued use is acceptance of those terms. I hope you're typing your reply over dial-up?
Why, I have a good ISP that doesn't advertise what it can't deliver. Also, where I live, I suppose that behavior like the one Comcast exhibits could lead to license withdrawal.
If they have promised and sold some bandwidth to a customer, the customer is not a "hog" if he/she takes all available bandwidth. And tragedy of commons doesn't apply here: the simple solution is to sell less bandwidth or have fewer customers. Also, I guess at least some ISP contracts are written so that an ISP can unilaterally change the provisions of an existing contract whenever it wants. If this is the case, an ISP can just alter its contract terms to provide lower bandwidth. But resetting uploads is a no-no.
Have you actually tried to open the PDF files with "Proposed dispositions" that the page links to? You cannot, because they are password protected. No one knows what these dispositions are, and even if they exist at all. We only have to believe the words of this so called "expert" and have no way to check them.
And who says that pushing CD's is the only way of making money from music? In the old days, recordings were primarily a promo stunt for getting people to the gigs. And it were at the gigs that the musicians made their bucks.
It's still that way here in Russia - because of the "piracy". But musicians have learned to live with it.
If by virtue of bitching - for example, about "leveling the playing field" - the underdog persuades some higher-rank entity to punish the, err, overdog, it means the underdog wins. Period. Only the ends matter here, not the means. Therefore it's rather funny that you should use the words like "deserve" and "should" - The Underdog's Words - as opposed to The Winner's Words like "be" and "do."
I tried to download some PDF files with "Proposed Dispositions" from that site (specifically, CZ-0014.pdf and CZ-0039.pdf), but in fact they do not appear to be PDF files.
It's sad to recognize myself in it and realize the truth of what TFA says when I'm 29, and changing something that is close to core of my personality is much more difficult... Motivation is the real driver of success, and I'm a person that lacks it almost completely.

AFAIK it's not about the compiler per se, but about the libgcc library.

I think that should be smth. like Ad Corporatum.
You never know until you listen to it.

Well, in fact I agree with you wholeheartedly. I was sorta mocking the AC.

This holds true only for lowercase letters. Uppercase Russian "U" is different from "Y" - namely, it looks exactly like lowercase "y", only larger.
Russian is my native language.
Well, if you don't buy Matlab and its toolboxes, you'll have plenty of money left for penis enlargement and Rolex purchase.
There is - "Rossiya-matushka"

That was me.
Prominent Russian bloggers are already leaving LJ - or at least opening their blogs elsewhere (greatestjournal, blogspot etc.)
Putin is doing wonders for the economy.
Yeah, sure, buddy. Putin has this miraculous ability to drive oil prices up.
Note that in Russia itself, ethnic hatred to various Caucasian ethnicities (Azeri, Georgian, Armenian, Dagestani etc.) is very common...
The media you speak of is not the federal media which matter. The attention they receive is unbalanced.

They definitely forgot to mention The Ugly. At least for The Gimp.
While you might have some valid points, Russians are perfectly capable to decide what they need without your preaching.
Kids have this nasty habit to eat multiple times every day. So there.
Hush, hush, I just gave Redmond folks a nice argument for the anti-trust people, and now you're destroying it all!
