Now, I don't have any stake in maintaining the status quo. If someone comes up with a better cosmological theory, more power to them.
You seem to dismiss the current best theory because you think it resembles a myth, but you seem to totally ignore the math and observations behind it. Big Bang Theory is supported by a lot of observations and mathematics, and your dismissal is based on a gut feeling.
I'm going to continue thinking that the big bang is the current best cosmological model.
The link in the article should have been dynamically randomized, so the domain parkers would all think they were the first to come up with the idea of registering the random domain name linked to by Slashdot, and register lots of nonsensical names. I read somewhere that domain tasting might get discontinued soon...
Huh? I never heard of the site before, but I tested it today, and the videos load just fine with mplayer-plugin, which is a rather general plugin for playing all kinds of media files. No need for specialized plugins.
The video quality is quite nice, actually. A lot better than Youtube's.
The Player of Games features an alien civilization with three sexes, such that each child has three parents (that's two more than the average American!)
The Discovery of Heaven
[ Book ]
[ Movie ] has it the other way around. Good movie, heaven't yet read the book, but it's supposed to be good.
It is probably because the baby talk is grammatically simpler, which gives the child a better chance of understanding that, which then enables it to understand more complex grammar.
Same reason we don't teach gradeschool kids about complex differential equations, but start them on simple arithmetic.
How would you get the source of a closed source program? It is more likely that GPL code is embedded in closed source programs, after all, who will find it?
YPL requires that any modifications to the ZCS source code files that you redistribute outside of your organization be published for all in source code form. YPL also requires the preservation of all copyright and attribution notices within modified versions of the ZCS Open Source Edition.
which seems similar to the GPL. But do read it, and google for it, to find out if there are any surprises in store for you.
No, he means that your clone will owe you $150,000 per cell in statutory damages, making him basically your slave, and the slavery is an affront to human dignity. Unless the clone is not Catholic, then it's okay.
There is no law that says you can't bundle products, it's Microsoft's punishment for abusing its monopoly position.
I agree, Netscape 4 was pretty unstable, but MSIE has had so many terrible security holes, I'd rather take a browser crash now and then over constant virus infections.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
I hardly ever use the numeric keypad to move units around in Civ IV. Right-clicking on their destination works much better for me. I'm not saying that the way I play it is the only good way, it is probably possible to play it almost completely by keyboard, but I find the mouse controls very convenient.
Of course, the older Civs used the numeric keypad extensively to move units around, and the mouse could only be used to move units in an awkward way, if at all.
Thanks for modding me redundant, but when I posted, I those other Clacks posts were not visible. If they were, I would have figured out all by myself that my post would be redundant.

It is an inappropriate Use of Weapons...
Excuse me? When was the last time RMS threatened to kill you for using closed source software? Or did you imply his chemical weapons capabilities?*

So they pay corporate taxes in Nevada, where there are no corporate taxes, and they pay their employees in Washington, where there is no income tax?
It would be fun if everyone started parasitising like that...
If Microsoft put their own code in GPL software, have they not given permission for it? They are the ones who are authorized to do so, after all.
But I also read that Microsoft doesn't toch GPL software because it is afraid of possible liability.
You have it backwards too.

But a GPL library is not very useful in a proprietary application, so you'll have to get the library under a proprietary licence, which costs money.

They aren't monopolies, and aren't being punished for abusing monopolies.

Okay, that wasn't the best post ever. But Troll?
Anyway, the plane crash is one of the milder disasters in Sim City, so it would be teaching the kids that place crashes don't do much damage.
Actually, I think it wouldn't remind most of those kids of anything.
Yeah, it's the perfect opportunity to teach kids that plane crashes are bad, mkay?

You could store it as a big stack of DVDs, but how about a few 500-1000GB hard drives?
I bet they also had advertisements by DoubleClack!

Those are the clacks! Did they have c-commerce back then, too? And clacksites?
That is exactly what the AC was saying...
Sounds like just the sort of thing that would happen Against A Dark Background...
