I'm pretty sure he doesn't make the bulk of his money from the label. Pretty much everything I've ever read indicates the money comes from touring and merchandise. That to expect little from the label except as a means to get the record places people will buy it and advertising. Money, if you don't end up in debt to them doesn't amount to much by comparison but having a record in the store is hugely important to getting people to your shows.
I think the issue is that closed binary only products use the code, may even make some modifications, but still have to tell people there be BSD shit in there. - You can do what you want with it.
Basically they have done little with the license change except to deceive people about the nature of the code which is BSD. GPL'ing the code does little other than deny the work and reputation of the authors. Now depending on which directory you download from you do not have the same rights to the same code, which *is* stupid.
The whole issue basically amounts to Linux developers telling BSD developers "Hey! FUCK YOU" and the BSD camp is saying "Wow, those guys are assholes." And they're right. They could have had the code, shit they were "welcome* to it, but they had to take it one step further and claim it was their code and that you aren't allowed to do the things that they were allowed to do. Now we have GPL apologists chiming in with you should have known betters, and all I can think is "Wow, those guys are assholes".
To think of the tizzy that "locking up" gpl code in proprietary devices stirred up and then this... Some people just don't give a shit about other people.
Maybe because they didn't know exactly what they were going to do years ago.
Gamers are fickle. If you talk about something that excited you in a brain storming session the other night, even off the record, you may as well write it in stone. Because as far as the gaming populous is concerned you goddamned promised. Even if you don't say anything but an editor makes a hypothesis about your game frequently that has become the "lore" as it were. It gets repeated, the part about conjecture is lost, a thousand blogs/adwords dispensers quote each other without checking (or citing or caring really) the source and pretty soon you goddamned promised that it would be in.
God help you if you actually do say something and then change it later. It used to be that developers would talk in depth about projects, now all we get are screen shots, background, and stories about office drama. I can't blame them really.
Upgrade to 1GB of RAM (2GB on Intel) and you won't see it anymore. (usually.)

Depends a lot on your situation.
Even with many many gigabytes of ram there are many situations where Apples applications (or the os) just sit there and do nothing (or spinning that pinwheel like they've nothing better to do) and you wonder if they crashed or what... Often enough, no. They're just doing the wrong or stupid thing and it eventually recovers. How often you see it depends a lot on your usage pattern.
None of these (near as I can tell) have anything to do with the scheduler. Just shoddy code and bad decisions.
Umm, someone just took a video editing program, and replaced the Apple with Nokia. People on Slashdot AND Digg seem to not be picking up on this yet.
It's clearly a poke at Nokia saying, "They are simply going to rip off Apple after the iPhone, and we think they'd go this far". Come on people! Apple DID file a handful of patents on this. The tag line at the end was good though. Good for a laugh.
But I can't release it just yet (employer makes 100% of income from Open Source; employer hates Open Source). Psst... Might want to keep that to yourself around these parts.
So of course I went spelunking who your employer might be... No luck, but I got a new sig.
Thank you for that. And thank you for not running with the usual muslims are a bunch of murdering psychopath zombies line that has made up most of this thread.
Windows puts much more emphasis on the desktop and audio playback has been much smoother. This comes at a cost, of course, as the article says. This is a simple trade-off between interactivity (for desktop) and throughput (for server).
So why is it that Win XP never had this problem on slower hardware? Nor Win2K, ME, 98SE, 98, 95...
When are you going to learn...
It is so much more important to sound authoritative than it is to actually BE authoritative.
If you fuck with the formula the whole goddamned system from your house to the Whitehouse falls appart. You get mired down in truth, facts. It is a disgusting mess.
Look O'Riley you have your own goddamned show at Fox why do you have to show up and comment in a thread you were specifically excluded from?...very funny. shame you posted anonymously.
So basically the first strip has been banned on context? That because the ideas are presented as satire they're offensive? I mean I understand the sensitivity. That having a corner stone of your religion trotted out and warped into an amusing caricature would be infuriating... But maybe you should review your dogma for things you weren't comfortable with in the first place before buying in.
It ain't like he's drawing pictures of Mohammed with bombs in his turban.
Oh my. Well, I guess I can see why the newspapers are nervous after the Danish cartoon thing with Muhammad a while back. Still, the Danes seem to have more backbone than the American newspapers, especially since Muhammad isn't depicted or even mentioned in the strip. Berkley Breathed is usually a bit more clever. My money is on biting, accurate and funny.
This is usually made better by the hyper sensitivity of the target.
A million astrophysicists cried out in pain! -"Where are they John, where are they!?" *"They.... they are gone Bill, GONE!" By "astrophysicists" you mean "evangelical christians"?*
*substitute whatever spaghetti monster bullshit you like.
This is again an example of how a company should deal with their customers. Thank you Google. I started to write a reply about how I thought they were exceedingly generous and whatnot even overly so because no one else would have done this.
But they screwed up and tried to fuck with their (small) customer base first. Early adopters if you will, left out in the cold because they decided not to stand behind their product. A minor scam since you can still get your money back, but a scam just the same. Not a good idea when you're trying get financial and shopping services off the ground at the same time.
It's a good apology, even magnanimous. It's also insurance.
I did. I though it was a place holder or something. Though it directs you to the games individual sites there is no information on those sites about a Macintosh version.
No press release, not even a news item. Certainly no client to download.
Near as I can tell, if you bought these games and have been rebooting to play them on a windows partition waiting for EA to finally come through... You're screwed. you'll have to buy the game again if you want to play the thing in OS X.
Well, that's happens when someone takes the time to actually answer a question in an easy to understand and comprehensive way with links to more information if the reader desires it. To be fair, depending on the topic, you are as likely to be modded -1 Troll for the same effort.
Ha! This is true, but is irrelevant to yours or my dirty ass. I do not refuse to wipe simply because the toilet paper's orientation does not square with my world view. Nor I do not bother my host with such triviality. Time is short and the issue is so small.
And just in case you didn't know (I was certainly pushing the realm of the obscure), the remark stems from countless letters to Dear Abby, Miss Manners etc. on the subject of hiding the tail (behind) or easy access (in front). The usual response (and my reason for using the analogy) being that concern over such a trivial mater belies a much more serious personality problem. Time spent worrying about the matter denies attention to much more serious issues.
Quickly and easily? That's crap, and you know it. Quickly and easily would be for the iPhone to update over the air, like the T-Mobile Sidekick does. Having to connect the device to a PC running iTunes isn't "quick" or "easy".
It is, if you have a PC or mac??? I found it quick and easy. OTA might be a little nicer, but given that I sync once a day or so for calendar updates and other refreshes, it's easy enough. Moreover, AT&T can't reliably deliver weather updates and barely gets web pages over it's network. A 7+ MB (or more in the case of Windows Mobile phones) is just not a workable method. Never mind the updates which require nuking all of the data on the phone (typical for WM patches). God help you if your battery goes dead in the process. Sure it would be nice, but when you've been eating shit sandwiches all of your life and someone hands you white bread with cheese and mayonnaise you don't hassle them for not grilling it for you.
Bullshit. Mac OS X is fundamentally unchanged from when Tiger came out two years ago.
Illusion! All those security updates, with patches to sshd and the like - they were all figments! He does have a point though, Apple patches some things because they must to save face. There are a lot (LOT) of gratuitous reproducible bugs, bad behaviors, and performance issues that have never been fixed. Almost none of which are documented on Apple's site. It is one of the area's Microsoft has really out-shined Apple.
You have no idea how patching works in IT. We don't necessarily WANT users to have "all the patches applied", at least not right away. IT needs to control patch delivery to limit compatibility issues. Or do you believe that patches never break anything?
More sand-holing. How sad. Learn to deal, you have seven days before everyone is patched, figure it out if something doesn't work - but then again, since you can't install your own software anyway what exactly would break again?? Since you aren't doing the updates why are you taking support calls for the thing? Point them to Apple. True that.
Windows Mobile 6 devices can be patched over the air, and patch delivery can be managed with a variety of third-party tools. Great, so once MS publishes a patch and it works it's way through the OEM's system (if ever it does) and possibly the additional step/question of the carrier deciding they need to distribute it... you can patch over the air. Who cares, insisting on over the air patching implies an urgency that just does not exist. The argument over a cable is tantamount to arguing over which side of the roll should the toilet paper hang. It does not matter. Just go plug the fucker in.
I got to the part about $15,000 to $17,000 U.S. PLUS 100-200 dollars a month in fees.
You can buy a, very fuel efficient compact import for a third less. Frankly, that thing makes a Kia look cool. Any savings in fuel are utterly obliterated by the cost of leasing the battery and "fees". I want an electric as much as anyone else, but that's a lot of cash to lay out. I'm sure they'll sell some to people who just want an electric car, but novelty isn't going to drive an industry.
I hope they're around long enough to drive down some costs and improve their product.
The whole bit about pushing electricity back into the grid... I don't know what battery efficiency is these days, but from what I remember you'll _spend_ about 60% more for the privilege. No thanks.
It's not even a mission statement. It's a cute quip that got bandied about and became an "informal corporate motto".
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Access to the 700 mhz spectrum is key to their ends. If they do not acquire it either outright or by leasing it from a third party, they will have failed in a major way. The argument for the rule change is insurance against that failure.

from Berkeley or the papers, what is there to discuss except conspiracy theories and baseless accusations.
I guess it's still news... even if it's a little under cooked.
Anyone have any facts. Not Fox news or Bill O'Riley brand facts but real information?

Why should they pay when they can ignore it and make her go through the extra steps to actually get the cash? Is there any penalty for failing to pay?
If you really want to pick nits... Challenger didn't fail, the shit to which it was strapped failed.
