The simple solution to this problem is using GPL code in your prototype. Then management won't let you ship until you've replaced it with something else =)
I don't think copy protection has any legal status in most countries. I don't know of any besides the U.S, but there are probably some.
Think of the DeCSS case in Norway -- Jon Johansen never shared any copyrighted content (a mathematical algorithm can't be copyrighted), so he was never convicted of anything. Also, guessing how content on a disk you _own_ might be interpreted, is thankfully still legal in most countries.
Well, socialism would probably mean high taxes, because you would need to fund healthcare, education and other services. But that doesn't mean that any use of tax money is socialism.
I suspect that because of the individualist, permissive society, very vocal asshats get more media attention. And big companies don't want to get yelled at by vocal asshats.
Currently, I create simple web sites at work, mostly using wordpress.
I've developed a couple of plugins to implement funcitonality that clients want. Now I'm gonna spend a couple of hours of my spare time to clean out some assumptions from the code, and then I'm gonna release the plugins to the general public. My employer sees the benefit of open source, and understands that by making the plugins publically available (instead of GPL to our clients only), improvements might dribble back.
So, in a sense, I get paid to work on open source software.
I'm not sure you're missing anything -- but that's beside the point. What the russian regulators are saying, is "you already own x% of online russian advertising. Y% is too much - that would make you a monopoly. You can't buy company Z."
A few MB extra code will cause cache misses, and thus slowdowns.
That doesnt mean that there isn't some configuration problem with Ubuntu software, though.
Also, there exists a lot of experience in making sure that small pieces of paper don't dissapear or get added. Ask some casino workers to organize ballot countings =)
Not sure whether to laugh or to cry.
I always kinda assumed that US citizens paid significantly lower taxes than we do here in scandinavia, I mean, since you get no job security, no real unemployment benefits and no real healthcare. But you still pay 35%? And the republican nominee still has a significant percentage of the votes? I think I'll go back to bed.
As Doug said, Oslo contains three simple things: a visual tool helps building models, a new textual DSL language helps defining models, and a relational repository that stores models.
I live in Oslo, and I've never seen or heard of either of these:o
Too true.
In elementary shool (or rather, my local equivalient) i remeber the teacher scolding me for using equations to solve some problem, rather than the method that was in the book.
I don't remeber the problem, but I remeber figuring out the correct equation and getting the correct result myself, and then having the teacher get mad:(
While _this_ is true (:P ), a c# major can occur in other pitches too. Most obviously in F# (as a dominant, or V if you're into that whole thing) - 6 sharps, but also as a DD (cue bra jokes) or II+ in H major - 5 sharps.
You're right in that I wouldnt pronounce it E sharp. I can pretty much guarantee you that I would pronounce it E-is, which is what the german notation tradition calls E sharp =) -- the E pronounced like the first e in the english "here"
More common than actually jotting down a E# will be jotting down a Cb, in Ab minor for example -- Cb is enharmonic to B.
(Sidenote -- i've never performed a piece with a E# in it myself, but I have performed pieces with both Cb and F## - in german tradition called fisis (enharmonic do G) (the double-sharp sign has no ascii paralell, and I'm not gonna hunt down the unicode point, since most fonts probably won't display it anyway).

First, IANAL.

Well, you don't lose anything by handing it over, unless you were planning to dual-license.
Lord, we thank thee for flashblock.
All payloads x with md5(x) = md5(a) are possibly = a. A computer really can't do much better than that.
You don't read random blogs, but comment on stories about papers published in said blog.
Yay.
You name variables after them in illustrations of poorly thought out algorithms?

( a -> b does not imply that b -> a)

Giving money away to private corporations has nothing at all to do with socialism.
The story would perhaps have been different if you had used any other software packages?
If there should be a processing fee, then that fee should be paid by the accused if the content is found to be infringing.
If routines grow with conditionals for extra functionality, cache misses will occur.

Well, the problem arises when they notice you scraping and block you from accessing anything at all.

That was what I was about to say. This might be a convenient way of using one-time pads =)

Well, if you don't, they won't have any reason to storm the prison =)
Shaving cream along with a razor can easily remove visible and very real inches from a man's penis :(
