Here here: A valid proof of the hypothesis that the current copyright system KILLS innovation. Would be worth a try using Mr. Eno's music at public places. But we'll never see it, because it is too expensive. Yes, even just playing music costs money. And I'm sure playing it at a public place counts as a performance, just like playing a legally bought DVD or Blue Ray in a hotel lobby or a prison is a crime. It's even a crime if the movie in question is not "Benjamin Button".
In Germany, there is the GEMA organization. It collects royalties for PLAYING music. If you have a shop and you play music from a legally bought CD, you still have to pay royalties to the GEMA.
It's the best scientific hypothesis available, other models fail to explain substantial data. Also, expect more of this in the future, because there is not that much more capital in this ecology fad to be made.
Pro Tip: Grab this and checkout the episodes about earth history and climate (cambric explosion, KT-boundary, etc). Learn about chemistry and how stuff works (it's easy nowadays) and know that even trap volcanoes need to be active for thousands of years to cause a what one would call substantial climate change.
Give me 300,000 $ venture capital and 4 months time. It's not that much to ask.
I will deliver a bootable installer medium (cdrom, usb, whatever) that let's you choose your options from gnome3/ kde4 down to tailored desktop systems like the one I set up for me.
It will be easier to use than any current windows, linux or bsd installer available (mac os excluded, because it has the privilege to be only used on selected hardware). Tailored systems for everyone, on cheap hardware.
All it needs is a GUI. Seriously, the code is there: custom os, custom kernel. As I said, all it needs is a GUI.
I don't think it's lighter than XFCE, just because of nautilus. Looks rather right at it's position in your list.
What I recommend when you want lightweight but powerful: Don't use a graphical login manager, boot to console and use startx (run it from.profile if you want) with an.xinitrc like this
conky &
xfce4-session
For a network manager use wicd with the curses frontend, this way you also have wifi in console mode. My desktop idles at ca. 80 MB of memory usage, and I have all the rest of my 1 GB RAM for applications. Funny thing is, I'm mostly doing 3D stuff using clutter/ cogl via jhbuild. If I need auto mounting, I just start thunar before plugging in any devices. My processor is a centrino 1.7 Mhz.
Just so you know, it's source code, yes, but most of it does not even compile. I'm not explaining it, others have done that already. Just google Apple Open Source Analysis and the like. If your search query ends with "and the like. If your search query ends with", go shoot yourself in the foot.
Gimme more of this! I mean, we all know what side will always have the moral and technical advantage. And the other side can only lose in the long run. It seems it really did enter another stage. And you're right, it's all just script kiddies. But if script kiddies can take down such websites in a blink of an eye, well, hail the script kiddies.
My point, that's Windows-admin slang. Best one so far:
Having them [GUIs] on server means you have access to much better bandwidth and your programs can run 24/7, [...]
I think it means that it's good to have a server that runs the same GUI application than your tiny admin notebook and so you can VNC with it and thus it appears to you that you have more bandwidth and CPU at your disposal. Like tunneling something to a machine with more power.
Thing is, because of architecture, Windows systems capable of running a GUI have to run processes and consume resources even if the GUI is not used or even "started". Quotes, because there is no such thing as "starting" the GUI on Windows like there is on Unix (startx). It takes up less resources when not "started", but it takes up resources, mostly services running, even if not in that state.
Same setup as a remote web admin UI. Or remote X. Or VNC to any operating system. But claiming that windows servers with GUI have more bandwidth because of that is ridiculous.
I don't think anyone is saying that Google shouldn't be held responsible.
Well then...
Just that it's probably not Google trying to be evil, but some random employee breaking the law.
I think Responsibility does not mean what you think it means.
Otherwise, your argument is non existent. Also, to be "held responsible" means nothing. Either they are responsible or not. Being "held responsible" just means someone thinks they should.
As noted in the release notes, FreeBSD 9.0 includes Clang/LLVM, the goal is to be rid of all GPL dependencies by version 10.0
While an honorable aim from their point of view, it strikes me as quite odd seeing one open source project coding a lot just to avoid using another open source project.
BTW, if it weren't for the viral GPL, we'd have no commercial open source worth speaking of. Seriously, without a serious and commercial operating system licensed under the GPL, the world would be a world with open source filling the niche that shareware once lived in. We'd be pretty much left with the 3 business models concerning software: Microsoft's, IBM's and Apple's.
Life on land came after the Cambrium explosion, 650 million years ago. And while it is somewhat sure that at around 3.5Ga there were oceans, it is also certain that the oldest fossils found are not the first living organisms on earth. The origin of them, as the majority of current theories conclude, began at least around 4.1Ga, probably 4.4Ga. And in the Hadean there were definitely no oceans, a surface temperature of about 1600C. This is an area of very recent debate, and whatever future evidence may suggest, it is not only probable but proven that microorganisms need neither liquid water nor a temperature in the comfort zone, these organisms can be found today. My point is that the actual question is: Could live evolve under extreme circumstances or could it just exist? And I'm saying is that current evidence suggests that yes, indeed, it can evolve under extreme circumstances.
Also, all our fossils are of DNA type organisms, while it is clear that it's predecessor was a replicator based on some other mechanism which we know nothing about. As we do about 99% of all current microorganisms (only 1% can exist in a pure culture). And with stuff like horizontal gene transfer or occurrence of viral DNA in the human genome only recently discovered I think the matter is far from settled.
Live on earth started evolving 3.9 billion years ago. No oxygen, no oceans, just trap volcanos all over the place, everything floating on liquid rock and metal. And yet, somehow...
I call that livable conditions on an otherwise unlivable planet. And these organisms didn't do or change very much for more than 3 billion years, while the planet was changing dramatically. They even survived the oxygen crisis and adapted to it. All long before multicellular organisms evolved. Most disturbing fact is that some of these organisms are still around after 4.4 billion years and dramatic environmental changes, mostly unchanged. Not to mention spores that can be revived after 250 million years and turn into bacteria.
This is the current state of microbiology on the matter of life and it's origin. Even statistically, it is inevitable that a rocky planet with a surface temperature of 400C contains regions with temperatures between 0 and 100 somewhere, if you think liquid water is necessary for the process.
We too would have the ability to go into orbit conveniently if we had never progressed beyond rockets.
That about sums up your non-argument. Well I too could have grown the cow myself but I preferred to buy the steak at the butcher.
And if you think Russia is ruled by corruption and mafia control as you put it, you have no clue. Russia is ruled by chaos, real money and a government trying to be strong. It's true, you can bribe your way avoiding speeding tickets or into getting business contracts. But good luck bribing any politician that has any say in governing the country or one of it's regions. One of the richest persons on this planet rots not in a prison, but in a penal camp. He didn't even pose any real threat to Putin and the government, it was just to make a point and eating his companies and resources.
And still, carrying persons and stuff up to and down from the ISS without any fatal failure since the US stopped the shuttle. Even though you call them second world.

Spot on. Problem is, the current ad model involves shitloads of middlemen and they won't give up their cash flow.
the reason people love web apps is because they don't fuck up your computer.
Get an operating system then.
All you need is to accidentally the whole copyright system.

Just wait until they discover global warming on this exoplanet, then it miraculously becomes science.
And in 3 years from now every western government will treat everything as it would terrorism.
