Writing is a valuable skill. If all writing implements and the knowledge of how to use them were free, that would require that everyone who reads a book be a professional scribe because there's no incentive for one who writes books for others to read in exchange for currency. Instead everyone who needs (or wants) to read a book has to write it themselves, or hope they know someone who has for some unrelated reason written something that provides the same information.
That is why writing implements and the knowledge of how to use them will never and should not be free.
... the country has 2 separate electrical grids, one for eastern Japan and one for western Japan, working at different frequencies, so even if western Japan has spare capacity, and I bet that they have, they couldn't do anything to help to meet demand from the other half of the country...
That's a non-issue.
(You really think the Japanese don't know what a frequency changer is?)
...CMake accomplishes the same stuff, including most parameters you need, in a much cleaner way....
We also grew rather weary of maintaining multiple (and sometimes radically different) sets of configure and build scripts for different platforms and compilers and dealing with the resultant platform- and compiler-specific bugs. (Look at the zoo that inhabits the BUILD directory of the 5.1 and earlier trees to see what I mean.) Not much fun having to stop everything to deal with those when you're trying to get release builds out the door.
CMake lets us handle most if not all of those issues transparently.
It's also worth mentioning that CMake is Open Source.
You either don't live in America, or the trend you notice is the result of living in a college town...
Bzzzzt -- wrong. You're either quite young or have a short memory.
I grew up in the US, where, during the 1970s and 80s, at least, it was commonplace for radio stations to have a "Album of the Week" show were they'd play an entire album without interruption so people could record it. I remember hearing the DJs say things like, "Don't forget, coming up in about an hour, we'll be playing 'Houses of the Holy', the new album from Led Zeppelin, on this week's edition of 'Instant Rock Classics'... Won't be in the stores for another week or so, but you can catch the whole thing right here at FMnnn, tonight... Don't miss it, man, 'cause this one's definitely a keeper! That's at 10:05PM, right here on WXXX, so there's still time for you to run over to the O-Mart and grab yourself a couple of blank cassettes... Back after this...".
Business is much simpler to start and to operate and to succeed in when you are in China than if you are in USA.
The process of receiving a bullet in the back of the head for economic crimes like fraud, embezzlement, and tax evasion is also *much* simpler in China than it is in the US.
I've been using SUSE Linux as my primary OS/distro for nearly 6 years, and not once during that time have I ever installed Mono. Seems to work quite well even so.
If you fail to renew or return on time (including returning the aforementioned recalled books) you can easilly end up with fines that are way more than the book is worth.
Wrong.
At every public library I've ever used (including 3 where my mother served as the director in the 70s/80s/90s), the maximum fine has been limited to the replacement cost of the book (generally, publisher's list price plus a few dollars for S&H).
Slashdot Mirror
Like @sun.com mail addresses, just for starters.
Those were decommissioned about a year ago.
(Oddly enough, my @mysql.com address still works.)
Try explaining to AT&T why your "mobile browser" is suddenly Firefox (which isn't available on smartphones)
Are you sure about that? My Samsung Galaxy S seems to think differently...
(To be fair, I find that FF's a bit of a pig on that platform; most of the time, I use Opera instead.)
Since you can't possibly prove or disprove it... open end.
Wrong.
Creationism is not falsifiable. Therefore, it cannot be considered a scientific theory. And *that's* the end of it.
"Anonymous Reader writes..." + any citation of Florian Mueller = no need to read any further.
'Nuff said.

Congratulations. You've just defined the Streisand Effect.
After all, as John F. Kennedy said in 1968: ...
And at which séance did this take place?
I'm thinking JFK didn't say much at all in '68, considering that he'd been dead for five years already. :)
(Perhaps you meant Bobby?)
Your perception of what a library is and does may well be obsolete.
Fortunately, libraries are not constrained by your perceptions.

Denmark uses the Euro.
I have a Danish 50-crown note, acquired last month in Copenhagen and now sitting on my desk, that says you're wrong.

Scalpers ensure tickets are allocated efficiently, i.e. to those with the greatest demand.
You're confusing "demand" (the desire for a thing) with "resources" (the ability to pay for it).
I bring a parachute with me on every flight and it will save my life more than a blow-up preserver or overhead oxygen dispensor ever would.
...when you get blown out the window doing close to the speed of sound, 5 or 6 miles above the ocean.
Yeah, right.
This is just evidence that he doesnt know what he is talking about. Nerds certainly dont fuck up kilobytes vs megabytes.. not even casually.
And he's done it more than once -- just check his posting history.
Think of the SD card as a DIMM.
Removing a DIMM or replacing it with a different one does not per or in se brick the machine or hose my data.
So... Thanks but no, I'd rather not.
The Nazis were impatient, is all. Their admirers watched, and learned.

Yep, sounds like pretty lax regulation to me.
Anyhow... You were saying...?
Dear AC,
Please STFU and quit embarrassing yourself.
Love,
One of many SUSE users who have no problems installing apps from .debs if they really feel like it.

You've some interesting issues with words, friend.
Fortunately, professional help is available for this sort of thing.
Man, I really dig the far-out way you spell "hydrogen".
Window Maker is still around, and supported by numerous distros.

Your logic is flawed.
Concern for caregivers/families != lack of concern for the patients.
