Seriously, when was the last time you saw a hardcover for only $18? These days, regular old paperbacks get pretty close to $18, and the big ones can break $30.
Can anyone see the LIGHT in here? Just go on repeat that hypnotizing mantra "work work work work work work work..." and you might end up losing signt of any other purpose, calling or destiny humanity may yet have, and become just a pawn in some evil overlord's idea of a chess game.
They haven't made a humiliating climbdown. Nothing's changed. They haven't revealed the infringing patents. They haven't indemnified anyone. They've just said they won't sue now.
To me this sounds like the kid on the playground who tells everyone he has $really_cool_toy, but won't let anyone see it because he's afraid it will get lost. Before long, everyone realizes he was just looking for attention.
I'm sure the change in the distribution model can be dealt with. CentOS doesn't seem to be driving RedHat out of business. Of course, there may be a rather uncomfortable adjustment period (kinda like the current state of the music and film industries). Perhaps that will a good time to step out of the work force for a bit and get a master's degree.
IP-related stuff too -- a typical employment contract has the employer claiming rights to all work the employee does unless it's done without company resources and doesn't relate to company business.
Either Blockbuster/Netflix have advertising contracts with spyware companies (and I don't much want to do business with them), or they have no obligation to pay for any of these spyware-generated ads (and they aren't being forced to pay anything).
Don't like it? Don't steal files. Cry "but I've not been proven guilty" all you want, but the XXaa won't be sending takedown notices of your dissertation and research papers without you having baited them into it.
I think you're a bit too trusting if you'll assume all accusations to be factual.
If they don't, YOU (a person provably interested) should talk to the administration about it.
I am not "provably interested" until I get one of these emails myself. Since I no longer live on campus, that's not going to happen.
Does it really cost $100-$1000 to update a routing table?
No, of course it doesn't. This goes right up there with my U's $100 "administrative fee" they charge for forwarding you an email complaining about file sharing.
1. IIRC, yes, these fields are optional. Actually, I'm pretty sure the only required fields are those that have to do with location. Your contact info doesn't go on your profile -- you exchange it through private messages.
2. They aren't necessarily landlords. Roommates.com splits profiles into "I have a room" and "I'm looking for a room." Those in category two might be landlords, but they are often renters looking to fill a vacancy in their rented house or set up a sublease.
Whether or not it's irrational really depends on the units you use. I could define a unit called the Lkj such that the charge on an electron is 1 Lkj. This doesn't work so well for the ratio of circumference to diamater, since that's unitless.
Personally, I use Customer Service Support as a last resort because it's highly unlikely they'll come up with anything I couldn't have figured out for myself, and going through two hours with front-line support before getting to someone who actually has knowledge beyond the standard script is a huge hassle.
Replacing them all at the beginning of your term and telling them to focus on prosecuting specific types of cases (e.g. illegal immigration) are both standard operating procedure. Telling them to go after political rivals is not, nor is firing them for refusing to do so.
US workers just need to understand that employers do pay more for higher quality.
The situation we're seeing here is caused by just the opposite effect: upper management is looking to cut short-term costs. They're not willing to pay for the quality they want, so they're asking Congress to let them get cheaper foreign workers.
I'd say the problem is that US employers need to understand that they need to pay more to get higher quality. The other thing they have to learn is that if there aren't any new junior workers hired now, then by 2020, there won't be anyone to hire but junior workers.
The Dems have certainly had their corruptions (hello, Mayor Daley), but I've never seen them resort to ANYTHING as underhanded as what Republicans do on a regular basis.
Might that be related to the fact that Chicago is Democrat vs. Democrat, while most election are Democrat vs. Republican?
No, no, you haven't caught up with the Bush administration interpretation of the 4th amendment: all it says is that you can't do anything unreasonable, and to get a warrant you need proper probable cause; it does not actually say you need the warrant to do the search.

That sounds like a challenge. Hope nobody in NY agrees with me...
And get their permission to distribute it under the GPL, since their the ones with rights to it.
The common solution to this dilemma is to limit yourself to software development that meets the requirements for retaining the rights yourself.

It probably looks something like this.
Yes, the person in question was a friend of mine.

Somewhere (don't remember where, so maybe take this with a grain of salt) I saw some numbers for it: reporters are liberal, editors are conservative.

Yeah, everyone knows the Justice Department was meant to be a campaign organization for the party running the executive.
