Like China can modify Red Hat's source code. Now if you said Red Flag I might believe you. I would also believe you if you said China used Red Flag Linux to put presure on Red Hat:)
The point is there is no such recognized condition as antioxidant deficit. So it has no use except the same placebo effect as vitamins for healthy adults. It might even have minor adverse effects, again like we know vitamins do.
So? You don't actually believe that the combined economies of two of the most populous countries on Earth is somehow smaller than that of two countries (North America is the U.S.A and Canada). Do you?
Actually they are not two of the most populous countries on Earth. They are the two most populous contries on Earth. But the U.S.A. economy alone do outstrip the combined economy of these two countries. You second comment however is right on spot, their economy is growing a lot faster and will eventually become the worlds largest economies.
Didn't some high ranking Nazi figure out early in WWII that the Germans simply did not have the access to petroleum they required, and therefore simply could not win the war?
They all did, thats why they did something as silly as attacking Russia and starting a two-front war. They simply needed the russian oil.
Actually this was widely used before the tech-bubble. The idea is that a computer can generate a few parts of a percentage better predictions than most humans. Since the percentage is so low, you let the computer invest huge amounts of money.
Ofcause when the entire market crashes, these machines loose money a lot faster than humans, since no one has tought them to pull out, and because they have to so much money invested.
So while much of the research in this area died suddeny sometime in early 2000, it still proves your theory wrong.
No, I unstood perfectly. I am telling you, you are wrong;)
'YOU' has no implied right to use this software.
According to a common copyright law clause called 'fair use', you always have the right to use items/works you own. Since the software doesnt cost anything you 'own' it after downloading it. (the owner made it available for free, and typically you dont have to sign or click 'I Agree' before downloading open source software => therefore no use restictions).
You do not however, have the right to distribute it, and that is what the license grants you, and what can be revoked.
So, it would still be a pain for Red Hat or IBM to make a patent sue, as they would loose the right to sell/distribute open source software. But for a company that doesnt sell or distribute open source software, it would have little or no consequence.
This License shall terminate automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this License

I think they have tried as much as they can. Laser technology is certainly going to improve but right now this is state of the art.
Perhaps they instead could look at using the heat for something else. (can heat be effectivly turned into propulsion in a jet-fighter, or used as a weapon in itself)
that is why soldiers who have committed war crimes under orders from superiors don't get punished.
Actually they do, this argument came up many times during the Nurenberg processes, and was turned down everytime. It is every person own responsibility to obey the law and international trities. That you are acting under order is never an excuse, even if they are threating your life; in that case it is your duty to rebel.
(Try imaging the same case under common law, someone threatens to kill you if you dont kill someone else. If you did it, you would still be convicted, the one threating you would be guilty of conspiracy to murder and threats on your life, but not the murder.)
Actually gcc-3.2 can do optimized linking and with the new binutils prelinking. This means that start-up times for C++ programs have bin cut down to 10% of old upstart times.
So unless they used to old unstable prelinking hacks in MDK 8.2 MDK 9 is going to feel a lot more responsive
Drug companies hold onto their research because they want to be the one that develops the cure for cancer, so they can sell it to the world.
No, they hold on to it because the research is funded by private charity funds and the government. And because even though they research for someone else' money, they still get to keep the patent. This is how the medical industry works and have worked for decades.
No you're quite a lot of the mark. Why are you even suggesting that development is more expensive than the companies make? That is seriously stupid!
As the top post suggest and like you can read in any of the articles writen on the subject. The price is determined by supply and demand. The same reason intel could reduce the price of Pentium 3 and 4 to a fifth of the originally projected price, when AMD finally gave them proper competion.
Non IT-managers have no idea of what software costs to develop, as such they have no bargaining position and has to pay everything they can afford for the software they need.
All the software companies has to do is sell as expensive as they can while still making sales. Sometimes during heavy competion this price starts to relate to development expenses, but this is very rare! Infact I have yet observe it in the software industry. (As notet above we observed it in the x86 industry where the prices startet to relate to AMD development expenses, but still was way above that Intel spends in R/D per sold processor)

No because they weren't developed by KDE developers... The same reason GNOME is going to fail;-)
I am not even sure there is a single of these statements that is true. Maybe the one about xmms. Most of them however can be explained by preference. But:
GNOME has more users than KDE
So given that KDE has a 60% marketshare of Linux GUI installations, are you saying GNOME has 65%? (hint: they have less than 30%).
Postgres, on the other hand, is very full featured and a joy to work with.
Only on paper. I only have to quote one command: "ANALYZE CLEAN"
We were doing perfomance tests and couldnt understand how the hell postgres could spend several minutes doing look-ups in indexed tables. One developer spend two weeks trying different SQL-tricks, and searching the PostgreSQL manual. Then by chance he tried to run the "ANALYZE" command and it speeded things up very little. Researching a bit further he tried "ANALYZE CLEAN", speeding the operation up from taking 5 minutes to taking 0.4 seconds!
Something is seriously wrong inside Postgres otherwise they wouldnt need this crap!
MySQL should aspire to stay simple. I dont care for transactions, triggers and relational integrity (relational integrity is useless anyway, it is only needed for normal forms).
But subselect, view and decent access control would let MySQL keep to their simplistic roots and still be a powerfull everyday tool.
All material for all the courses I follow at the moment are available on the web.
The reason is I am now a postgraduate student and no books exists that cover the kind of recent research material that we need to learn. Instead we use research articles, and they are always published on the net nowadays.
For the pregraduate studies the dilema is the same, except you have to buy the books at the local bookstore. You can still end up with knowledge without proof.
So how to prove what you know? Just remember to enroll for the exam!
Oh! so universities are not free in your country? Well, that is a completely different issue.

Ehm, they dont use the rate of deposit. Rather they use telltale signs, like results from vulcanoes, certain whether at the time, etc.
So there is no assumption of a constant rate of deposit, just examination the rock to find what time-period it is from.

EULA's are not legally binding. At least not where I live, and even in the US they are surrounded by legal controvercy.
Basically; don't read them, don't care.

It's not like it has been proven, time and time again, to help fight off illness.
And it is not like vitamin pills have been proven time and time again not to work on an average person!
Yes, we know vitamins are essential, but it seems vitamins in pillform are useless for people who doesnt have a vitamin-deficit.
I guess the same holds for antioxidants. You need to be sick with a deficit disorder before taking extra will help you one bit.

where do we want to go with X?
There can only be one answer for that: to the fields of legacy, or nowhere at all!

No, you misunderstood what I said. :)

This is the correct behavior for an upgrade.
No, the correct behavior is to run kconf_update, if root upgrades he should run it for all users.
You are misreading the clause as many others:

Exactly. That is why compared it to the CPU industry, back in 2000 both Intel and Microsoft had margins at 90%+

KDE is completely free. But parts of it are LGPL, especially kdelibs has to be.
