The fact that dozens of people have responded with the information I was asking for is proof that it should.
Are you worried about your favourite site getting 'cluttered' with articles which you personally have no interest in?
That was going to be my other question - how can you be sued for making a file available (as opposed to downloading it illegally).
If I leave my MP3 collection on an unsecure FTP site - can I be sued for that? What specific law am I breaking?
What if I leave my car door unlocked so someone can steal my CDs?
It's hard to under-emphasize just how huge a change that is.
This literally means it's difficult to describe this change to make it sound less important than it actually is.
I believe you mean the opposite, that it's hard to over-emphasise (ie: make it sound more important than it is; because it's so important)
oh no. no. 'Insightful'? How you disappoint me Slashdot.
I thought it was CO2 from our SUV's and coal fired plants causing glaciers to melt. Now it's fresh water?
RTFS. The release of fresh water was affected by thinning of the ice - which was (arguably) caused by the CO2.
don't let that stop all of you from blaming climate change and global warming on your own... you know, because the scientists are right, even when they never said it.
Scientists ARE saying that Global Warming is causing the Arctic Ice to thin (which is affecting the fresh water). Please moderators, don't label comments 'insightful' when they can't even follow the discussion this far.
I don't think you should discount the marginal cost of infrastructure to support that many people streaming online video content, engaging in interactive graded exercises and submitting questions. No, I'm not saying it's anywhere near the cost of supporting that many people in-real-life; which is why we're not comparing it to the marginal gain of one student's university tuition fees.
Say you'd have x people who are willing to pay $y - does x*y cover the ongoing hosting/content development/web development costs? It might do, but the fact that one participant was willing to pay $100 for the course is nigh on irrelevant.
I would of happily paid $100 for the ai class, and the class had over 100 000 people in it, that's $10 000 000
I love how you state this as though $100 is the average amount the 100,000 people who took his free course would be willing to pay.
You do realise how unlikely that assumption is to be anywhere even near correct, don't you?
I wonder if Bing's increasing market share is due in any way to their increasingly maddening lock-up of IE's search behaviour in Windows 7.
I helped my father-in-law get a new Dell machine up and running over the Christmas break and was seriously astonished at how many steps are required now to make Google the default search agent in IE rather than Bing. A novice user has effectively no chance to avoid using Bing.
I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been more backlash against it, but I guess this shit is less likely to fly outside USA.
the really funny/sad part is that many of the same people here who will condemn Oracle for capitalizing on Java are the very people who sadly shook their heads that Sun *wasn't* able to leverage it commercially.
I set up one of these for my mother-in-law over Christmas. The #1 use she had for it would be video-calling her grandkids on Skype. Guess what? No native Skype app exists for Playbook. There are crappy browser-based IM sites that enable it to chat on the Skype network, but no way to get Skype Video to work on it.
It seems RIM don't even have enough momentum behind the PB to make it worth Skype's while to make this possible.
I believe the problem here is the durability of the materials; (much) heavier loads and resistance to environmental factors (this walkway is in a Mall) would be much more expensive to withstand.

ok.. but you know autocomplete wouldn't provide a non-existent word..
testimount
, given that's not even a word.
Quite small, yes. It's another $30K to a guy who can afford $7.7M worth of AAPL
sorry, AAPL share at $593
The dividend is $2.60, per one APPL share at $565.
I don't trade stocks, but is this really a significant payout to shareholders?
would you pay negative dollars (amortized over time) to help reduce pollution?
how many joules does your house use?
how much do you pay for electricity?
I see; that does make sense.
Thanks for responding

You're analogy is incorrect.
Am I?? How insulting!

erm... source?
Why are people commenting on this story as though it made a case for Anthropogenic (human-caused) Global Warming?
It doesn't.
you're so cool and jaded!
Agree. TFS dismisses emulation options, but really how much of a quantum leap would it be not to have to run Parallells?
Your reply is "I personally am happy with my OS"?
Uh.. we're really happy for you (I guess) but miss the point much?
I believe the problem here is the durability of the materials; (much) heavier loads and resistance to environmental factors (this walkway is in a Mall) would be much more expensive to withstand.
It's a common turn of phrase by which the writer means the comparison is meaningless due to the extreme difference in magnitude.
/. audience for replying.
If this was a troll rather than just extreme pedantry, my apologies to the rest of the
