Especially considering Opera is a Norwegian company, I was expecting them to give thumbs up to their homebrewed web browser. Opera is pretty awesome, all things considered and the current version is certainly lot more compliant and powerful than IE6.
Things that are "stolen" from M$ usually show up on torrent sites just before the launch of a beta. This being an actual object, it might show up on freecycle lists:-)
I think it was The Pirate Bay that wanted to buy this nation to save their asses from legal hassles they might've faced in other countries. There was some glitch in that deal and it didn't go through as they expected. Or maybe it was some other bittorrent listing site.
I didn't think it was a 'well guarded secret' or anything. Squelching negative reviews of your business and dampening the highly positive reviews of your competitors has been the dominant practice ever since the dawn of two businesses selling similar products.
From the article it seems like Yelp had gathered a reputation of being impartial and fair. It understandable that people's confidence will diminish.
I'm wondering how they would word their EULA. If they claim ownership of the code that's compiled and developed on their servers, that would be a deal breaker for most developers.
People in the US who wanted to watch entire TV episodes on the show's own websites were often out of luck because they provided content for "Windows Only". Hulu has been providing the high quality episodes (picture quality) for non-Windows users. For that reason I think they should stay.
Now what if the vendor makes the cat put a paw-print on a statement that makes them legal owners of everything you own. Out of cat's own free will - of course.
5% of people will wait until Billy gets home from college, at which point he'll grab a free/cheap version through his school and slap it on
From what I know, Billy's college pays such a hefty price for volume licenses that M$ already have their base covered if Billy's granpaw installs a Office 2007 just to look at Powerpoint slides from feel good emails.
The vendors purchase licenses for a specific number of computers. If the vendor uses two licenses for the same machine (Vista & downgrade to XP), I don't see the vendor profiting in any way. What you did was purchase 2 licenses, and the profits are shared by your vendor as well as M$. Its hard to tell how they share those profits.
Do the laws of thermodynamics mean nothing to you? While you are spending billions of dollars in generating artificial sunlight for a dystopian farm, won't you stumble upon a simple truth - "If only you spent a fraction of that money in raising population awareness, you would be reducing the use of a significant amount of resources, thus eliminating the need for such gaudy unsustainable structures.
In order to facilitate the photosynthesis at lower levels of that structure you'll need a source that will provide same amount of light over the entire area as direct sunlight. Even if you have a 100% efficiency, the reflectors and thingummies needed to capture that kind of sunlight would be rather unaffordable in Manhattan.
Wouldn't the method you describe cause a violent reaction from children? The purpose of red button is to shield them from violence, but pulling the plug at the moment of climax is gonna make the kids wilder than ever.

This needs a sticks and stone analogy for us stone age folks ;-)
The ratings were pretty high for Kinky Klingons, but seems like they were cast aside for being less exotic.
I have a tendency to make things up

Your toasting partitions must be terribly fragmented, and you must have tons of redundant and archaic bits of crumb affecting your performance.

....is to change companies.
Its a well known phenomenon is that the company changes you before you have a chance to change companies
Apologies for the unintentional 'In Soviet Russia' nature of the post.
vi & nano - the force runs strong in those two.

Otherwise its a wonderfully implemented idea.

A mandatory LOLCATization of a picture in the article - LOLCAT conversion complete
Good point.

That, or I have no clue what I'm talking about.
A sales representative will contact you following the successful extinguishing of your ass fire for your feedback.
And we'll also send you a coupon for 50% OFF on fire extinguishing the next time your buttocks are on fire.

No moon? Then where does Moonlight come from?
I've noticed that Microsoft usually GTES sued by other, whereas Apple is out To SUE others.
But its got what networks crave, its got electrolytes.
...I enjoy any solution that uses "photonic" anything and "arsenic trisulfide" anything. Cool
Interestingly, it conjured an image in my mind that is a mix of baby-formula and pesticides.
You can have a repeater every 3 inches. Simple.
Ingredients, ingredients, ingredients! I think its time for the software duchy to enforce the Software purity laws (ref: Beer purity law)
