The Bible has many contradictions. There are two *different* Creation stories, right off the bat!
But you know what? People still consider it the "infallible Word of God" and believe that there are no mistakes in the Bible. They base their whole religious view based on this faith. They try to live their lives according to the book's teachings.
You think your little contradiction means anything?
No, the entire point of the GPL is to prevent others from modifying your code and then distributing it without also providing those modifications.
Your car is BSD licensed (so to speak). You have the whole thing in its entirety and can do to it what you wish. You can add 5hp by placing the appropriate stickers on the windows, you can increase traction by adding a large spoiler, you can even improve your gasoline consumption by putting additives in the tank. What's more, you can sell it later without having to divulge what you've improved on the car.
When the AVG Free forced upgrade came out, I went in search of another antivirus software product and picked Avira too, but it also seems to enjoy popping up useless dialog boxes, more so than even AVG ever did.
Is there a good AV software package that is free and up to date and doesn't suck ass?
I tried to sign up for jobs that would generate an at-home income with what seemed like respectable sites, however these sites led to massive amounts of spam.
The best solutions don't come from engineers sitting around brainstorming. It's almost exclusively domain-specific knowledge that only practitioners have that makes good systems good. Lyons needed account tracking software for their tea and bakery business, and it's likely that there was simply no idea at IBM or any other "computer" shop that such a need existed.
Engineers are pretty much replaceable cogs in software development. It's the people who have real world needs that require real world solutions that bring these things into existence.
When we produce a huge rocket, the news reports it as for space exploration. When China builds one, it's reported to be for threatening their neighbors.
You mention that a football with a tracking device needs to withstand being kicked. However the position of a football being kicked only matters when it is punted to the opposing team or when it is kicked for a field goal. Since the uprights make the latter situation simple to determine, the only real situation that the position of a kicked football matters is when a punt is returned near the sidelines. Luckily, a punt is not nearly as punishing on a football as a place kick, so a tracking device would no doubt be able to survive a punt.
Having exact positioning on a football in play is a huge help since refs are notoriously inaccurate, especially in the red zone when inches determine whether the football crosses the plane or falls short. But then again, griping about the refs is one of the aspects of the game.
I know it's hard to believe, but there was a time when we actually used floppy diskettes to copy files from one computer to another. It's difficult to imagine what life must have been like before Google and Twitter, but we managed in our own small way.
While you probably don't agree with most of his stances on the myriad issues, his position on global warming is spot on. Even if all the hullaballoo surrounding whether humans are the primary cause of global climate change or not, if we take actions now to stem wholesale dumping of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, whether it turns out that we have a huge impact on the global ecosystem or not, at least the world we leave behind will be cleaner and more hospitable for our children and future generations.
With new data pointing to a possible solar cause to global climate change, it does not change the fact that sucking up all the available fuels and dumping CO2 into the atomsphere is making the world a worse place to live.
Hopefully we can make the right changes whether or not the science backs us up.
Amusing is sending those of us who actually RTFA to the LAST page of a 4 page article. This article is the straight man in a comedy duo, only without the funny man. That's sort of amusing in an ironic way.
Just think, without copy protection, we wouldn't have been able to distribute our viruses so easily. With all these kids trying to download cracks from any site that offered them, our bits have gone far and wide.
If you need to take a large set of tools with you, get dedicated hardcase luggage with foam cutouts for each item. Is that what you mean by "Emergency Repair Kit"?
Is it possible to ship the hardware you need to the site a few days before you arrive?
Can you learn to pack so that you don't ruin one set of stuff with another set of stuff?
No private company should be so entrenched in society that it would be impossible to survive without the service they provide. If I can't get a job without a Google Health "badge", then something somewhere has gone horribly wrong.
This is already a big problem with credit companies becoming so pervasive. It's also bad enough that private companies are leading the American military around by the nose. But that pales in comparison to the actual, direct, and personal limits imposed by something like the system the article is talking about.
Water cooling is great for the bleeding edge enthusiast, but it's hardly an option for the workaday computer users. Laptops certainly could stand to use some better heat dissipation, and if water cooling through 50nm tubes is possible here, how long until it is both cost effective and size-effective for people who aren't interested in hardware for its own sake to see this type of thing offered to us, the average computer user?
And is stacking the chips better than laying them flat and in a strip (like Pentium M)?

Gimme a fucking break, Taco.

The only reason he wants healthy people in Africa is so that he can make money locking them into paying for Windows.
Invest a few million to ensure the good health of the population, reap a few billion in licensing fees. It's no more difficult than that.

Gimme a break.
I download movies for free.
I download music for free.
I download porn for free.
I download operating systems for free.
I download software for free.
Why shouldn't I expect antivirus software to be free as well?

Idiot.
WinCE. Pity about the name, though.

Engineers don't make that much money. Get a business degree.
