Amouth, this problem is solvable. Call your local police department or road service, ask for stop-light records for these particular stop lights and it should show information as to how long the yellow was before they installed the cameras and how long it was after. if they shortened the yellow after the camera installation you can take them to court for reckless endangerment (or whatever the legal term is). Also, there're rules to how long the yellow light has to be depending on the road conditions, speed limit, etc. If the light is shorter than it's supposed to be according to these specifications you can drag the city's ass in court as well.
I see nothing wrong with non-interventinist foreign-policy. How are we going to help those people in Darfur? With taxpayer money. And the moral dilemma here is this: do taxpayers agree to have their money spent in this manner? Obviously the answer would be "No". Ron Paul offers a very beautiful solution (nothing appalling). He says: if people in the US would like to get together and volunteer and pay help the Darfur cause - so be it. But don't get people's resources against their will to use for policy you think is morally right but not necessarily everybody else. Dr. Paul voted against the gold medal for Rosa Parks as well. Do you know what he offered? He offered for all in Congress to chip in $100 and buy a medal. Needless to say, his wish did not come true. This example tells you a lot about "generosity" and "volunteerism" when it comes to spending someone else's money.
When they tell me they'll put copyright tax on my hard driver or my SD card then I'm going to fight. In 5 years CD's will be obsolete. Then they can charge tax - my ass.
>For those that didn't RTFA, the comparison to terrorists didn't come from the MPAA guy.
>>JPB: These are aging industries run by aging men, and they're up against 17-year-olds who have turned themselves into electronic Hezbollah because they resent the content industry for its proprietary practices. And I don't have a question about who's going to win that one eventually.
>I'm generally a Barlow fan, but that's some of the most poorestly chosen words in the history of language. Just what the MPAA, RIAA, et al. and their paid governement servants need, a little more help getting the little guy who just wants a backup copy of a movie sent to Gitmo.
This was not a comparison. It was an epithet. Crack open a dictionary.
I disagree with you on the "poorestly chosen words" statement. I must say Barlow, very well put!
Stop being silly and trying to interpret what Barlow said. He said it very clearly and he said it the way it is.
... and it's not going to be Apache. Just my prediction.
Fine, let's see how long Microsoft can throw money at hosting companies and what not to promote their shit. Let's just see who can bleed longer - Microsoft and their big fat bank account or the Apache Project and all people around it who contribute and are not affected even a bit my Microsoft's moves. Most people who contribute to Apache don't even follow netcraft's stats - it really doesn't matter to them. All they care about is the technology - not "how to kill Microsoft" - which - obviously - happens to be MS's strategy against Apache.
I actually think Microsoft's strategy as despicable as it can be is pretty good to gain a market share. The question is - how long will it last?... Just wait until the next IIS exploit comes around and infects all those IIS-crap sites. Then I'll laugh my ass out.
Huh,
I bet they asked him for a long time to do the interview - he just ignored them. I would imagine publicity is nonsense to Linus and this is what such interview would create
remember - this article is in the "business" section of cnn.com. those people out there always think there must be a leader one-and-only monarch that runs everything and has the knife and the bread. that's their mentality. when Linus tells them he's just one of us, OSS developers, they are like "WHAT? This is impossible!". They just don't get it. That's all. They think the world they live in is the world everybody else lives in and everything follows the same principles.
For the most part the interviewer sounded like an ingorant moron who thought s/he was interviewing Bill Gates or Larry Elisson.
yeah, it's sad that they'll think working for a game company is cooler than working for whatever else industy.
I am in the porn industry - so what? a job is a job. same shit everywhere.
Roumen.
P.S. the only sad thing I see is working for Microsoft and/or on a Microsoft-based platform.
here's a party that puts forward ideas I would go and vote for with a smile on my face. A party that would bring back the excitement of voting and actually making a difference.
I am tired of the party that caters to the lazy (read: the US Democratic Party) and the party that caters to the rich (read: the US Republican Party)
AFAICR Microshaft told the justice dept they couldn't separate the OS from the browser when they were pretty close to getting their ass split.
Now all of a sudden this seems to be possible.
I don't think this is the way to cheap internet. Look at South Korea - they have one of the cheapest and fastest internet connections in the whole world. The result was achieved with creating fierce competition among providers, not rigging the internet the way the bells want.
I don't see anything wrong with zealotry, especially when it's for a good cause like open source software. Please bring a point and don't waste bytes.
Roumen.
P.S. BTW, your sig is stupid.
If I had a boss who was going to such extremes to keep me away from an editor for no logical reason I would pack up my shit and leave. Such weird behavior is definitely disturbing to me and in this great job market I wouldn't think twice about staying away from weirdos like him/her.

This is like the stupidest law of the month.

Yeah, time to get out of Bank of America. Fucking bastards. I am closing my checking account today!

Hmmm, companies pay court expenses - not tax payers.
what does Google have to do with all that?

Read the article you moron! the guy suggests copyright expires in 5 (five) years. The person you are quoting didn't read it either.
I disagree. I think 5 (five) years is just enough to cash in on a song/movie. Few will wait five years for a single so they can get it for free.
yeah, that just comes to show you the ppl who wrote this article are fucking morons! They don't know squat about tech.
AFAICR Microshaft told the justice dept they couldn't separate the OS from the browser when they were pretty close to getting their ass split. Now all of a sudden this seems to be possible.
Symantec, this is what you get when you write software for Windows. HAHAHAHA!! Suckers!

That's pretty funny!

just install vim in your home directory and you'll be set!
