That's not how fair use works - using an entire piece would never fall under fair use, under any definition or description I've read. Also, references to the group cannot be stripped out if they're part of the licensing conditions, even under the BSD license.
The submitter should trust that paper authors will cite properly if they've used the software to obtain scientifically relevant results. Any paper that doesn't cite the software used is pretty useless anyway, the reader won't know where they got the relevant result from. Here's an example of existing practice in this area by a software author. I would say your supervisor is being impractical if they insist on doing more than that, a cite clause would probably put off a lot of users and packagers.
If this is truly your notion of the easiest way something can be done, then you are woefully out of touch with user expectations. Try to imagine the average computer user trying to figure out how to gain root privileges so that they can edit a file in/etc, just to connect to a wireless access point, and then their response when you cheerfully explain to them that they'll have to do this every time they want to connect to a new wireless access point, e.g. in a coffee shop.
This is exactly the problem with this challenge, there's no reason why anyone would participate. Anyone in the (forensic) data recovery business would probably prefer to keep quiet about what it takes to destroy data anyway, lest people make their lives more difficult.
Third, having used a z520 for a long time. The only crippled features I can think of are the permanently enabled camera noise, an inability to send applications to other users from the games and applications folders (the copy in the "other" folder that was used to install a given app can be propagated just fine), and the standard SIM lock that any mainstream cell phone has.
Your opinion is completely obsolete with today's selection of source code management systems. Distributed change control systems allow developers to commit frequently, and ensure that every commit actually does compile. I would be mildly disgusted to work with developers that commit changes that don't compile. See the list of points in this page for an explanation of what I think is the proper way to structure one's commits.
In that case, you were logging in response to a specific problem, and it wouldn't have taking a log line every 2-5 lines of other code in order to achieve what you wanted. If code needs to log that often, it's probably lacking in proper use of abstraction.
The latex workflow isn't actually that hard for me, if I recall (I always forget in between reports). The pdflatex command goes straight from.tex to.pdf, and comes with the added bonus of being able to add PDF internal hyperlinks to the document simply by adding "\usepackage{hyperref}" somewhere in the boilerplate. Of course, like latex, sometimes you have to run it more than once (which I think is wrong, but I don't want to bother to fix it), but it's acceptable enough that I don't feel the need to write a makefile. I've never needed to submit latex source to a publication, maybe that's when the "fun" starts.
I can have LaTeX installed on my Linux box, including all sorts of crazy extras, with less than one uninterrupted minute of effort. It obviously takes a few minutes to download and install, but I don't have to pay attention after getting the ball rolling. I don't know about other "Linux hackers", but I, for one, don't enjoy wasting my time on chores like software installation.
I'm interested to see if this thread reveals any credible alternatives to LaTeX, but in the meantime, there's Getting to Grips With Latex, and the more available Wikibooks copy, for those who need to get it done in LaTeX.
Yes, but those people are ignorant, because in 2008, you can get superior alternatives for free. I couldn't see myself ever using Windows as my main OS (or at all, if I can help it) again, and it was only 3 years ago when I tried Linux out for the first time.
Shipping an obsolete OS is what killed Palm. I stopped caring about them in 2005 when I realized that they were never going to ship any hardware with Palm OS 6. I don't know whether Palm OS 6 would have generated more success than Palm OS 5, but lo and behold, it's 2008, and they're still shipping an OS that lacks multitasking support and dates back to 2002. It's no surprise, then, that they are failing in an industry that is rife with competition from more modern software.
I realize that, but since the parent went ahead and suggested several commercial runtime memory checkers, I wanted to tack on a couple of free ones for any readers that haven't heard of them.
Talking about "logical well-designed code" is very vague, and doesn't convey any useful information. I can suggest two ways to minimize bugs: make your interfaces hard to misuse (i.e. see this and this), and use testing to make sure that your interfaces work as advertised.
There's also valgrind, for Linux users, and mudflap, for gcc users. I haven't tried mudflap yet, but valgrind is a very good runtime memory checker, and mudflap claims to do similar things.
The lock-in comes from having to convince everyone you know to switch from Skype to something else. That being said, nobody in the thread has confirmed that Skype can be used to do videoconferencing. It has only been confirmed that it can be used to do video chat between Windows and Linux, which can be done instead using Ekiga Windows Messenger, using the SIP protocol (believe it or not).

DDR3 RAM Explained
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
The author of this article seems to think that since 1.5V is 17% less than 1.8, the power savings are 17%. Granted, the saving is more like 31% if the memory has the same resistance, since power usage is proportional to the square of the voltage, but it's not worth reading an article from someone who doesn't know such basic knowledge that is so relevant to the topic being written about.
You misunderstood the agreement as it was reported. They can't keep vendors from buying Linux, but they can reduce the incentive for them to do that by making Windows cheaper. In addition to that though, they're going to impose their definition of ULPC on vendors who want to take advantage of the discounts on Windows XP. If the first part of the agreement (cheaper Windows XP) doesn't work for them, then the second part will be useless, since vendors will simply use Linux on whatever hardware they sell, whether or not it fits MS's definition of ULPC. Unfortunately, it's probably going to work, leaving Microsoft with the ability to dictate the maximum power of subnotebook hardware for as long as they still have a monopoly.
I'm no expert on this stuff, but it seems that you don't what what it means to be out of phase. If your system is producing an AC voltage at the same frequency and amplitude as the grid, but 180 degrees out of phase, it will cancel out the grid signal, which can only cause Terrible Things to happen. Keeping the signals in phase is definitely a must if you are going to tie the inverter and the grid together. The fact that the inverter produces the same frequency and amplitude, since this is what appliances expect, does not automatically cause the two signals to be in phase.
Finding the clip of them saying something is hard in realtime, though I guess if the questions are prepared beforehand, then the clip can also be found beforehand. There's a Daily Show where a clip is actually played showing that happening to Mitt Romney during an interview, it was fun to watch.
Well, I was joking, but I agree with you there. I think it's sort of a taboo topic that people don't seriously think about enough, because selective breeding sort of implies the coercion of people to breed with partners they wouldn't have necessarily chosen on their own. Plus, any deliberate actions would have to be coordinated over a long term, and there's the complicated issue of deciding how to select people to be bred. I'm also guessing that there would be a bunch of people who would decry any effort as unethical because people are "playing God". I saw a sperm bank mentioned in a documentary about 10 years ago that advertised its sperm to only come from general overacheivers before, which is sort of a very short term form of eugenics.

I'm not sure what the sw option is, couldn't find it in any of the expected manpages, so you may want to just use defaults instead.

For anything not present in the standard library, these are the next place to check. They're freely usable in commercial projects.

I would assume that he sold some of the stock before it went down the tubes, unless he's just stupid.

There won't be any extra dough for them to pocket, since the closure of the loophole will eliminate large-scale tasting.
Thus begins the process that served as the premise for Idiocracy.
