(3) I don't consider water under MY ground to be public property. *I* was the one who spent $5000 to drill a well into the ground and tap the reservoir, therefore the well belongs to me.
That works very well until I, who lives upstream from you, decide to dump all my perfectly biodegradable human waste into the water supply which drains down into your well. Or even less dramatic I buy a big chunk of land and cap off your water supply because I decided to open a bottling plant. Now you're both out of water and now you have to pay ME for the privilege of drinking it JUST because I happened to buy the property upstream from you. Basically what I'm saying is that your viewpoint is shortsighted.
Simple. In Java I'd use JPA to get the objects I want and use maybe XStream to convert the class to XML. I'm not going to take the time to look up the appropriate API calls at the moment, but I believe it's somewhere in the range of 2-3 lines of code to accomplish this feat.
The following is an excerpt from the GPL:
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program.
The GPL explicitly permits the user license to RUN the software. Therefore it's an EULA. This idea of there being a difference between agreeing with a license and abiding by a license is just silly semantics.
The most convincing argument for a conspiracy to me was the guy who did the math and basically showed that the floors below the impact provided practically zero resistance to the fall because the top of the building accelerated as if it were in free fall. You can fairly simply do the time calculations yourself by analyzing any of a dozen videos of the collapse and looking up how tall the building was. This would lead a conspiracy theorist to believe that the lower floors were 'detonated'. If they were largely intact (which they should have been) then the pancaking effect would've slowed the fall quite a bit.
Really? I thought it was pretty common knowledge. A quick search for '9/11 molten metal' on youtube returned quite a few results. I didn't bother to watch them all to find a 'particularly good' one, but there's lots to see if you're interested.
You had me right up until that last paragraph, then I realized you're just a shill. I mean seriously, I could write some REALLY shitty software for linux that eats up all your resources unnecessarily and bogs down the system. How is that Canonical's or Redhat's fault? Similarly, the reason your linux drivers work so well is that linux hasn't had the ginormous revamp that the win32 kernel just underwent. Hardware vendors needed to make significant changes to their drivers and thought they'd get by with shoddy (probably outsourced) effort.

To be fair, they just circulated a particle in one direction. The next test, I believe, will be to accelerate a particle in the other direction. Then they'll do some in each direction simulataneously... and then finally they'll actually try some collisions. It's the collisions which will (supposedly) destroy the planet. But to answer your question, no they will not learn.
My bank offers the ability/convenience of utilizing your card and pin while at the teller, but it's not a requirement. I'd wager your bank is the same way. There's no way a bank is denying you access to your money simply because you lost your ATM card.
Everyone needs to stop getting so worked up over the bank password thing wrt bankers messing with your stuff. Any teller can bring up your account and process transactions for you just based on your name. All you have to do is show your driver's license. There's nothing (except logs/audits) from stopping a bank teller from just making transactions for you without you ever entering the building. Your password and ID don't protect you from the bank, they protect you from other people.
We pay markedly above market rates for developers and have a very good corporate culture with paid training we're practically begged to take. The market I'm in is driven by a small group of very big hitters in the defense industry. Most people try to get in there, get their clearance, and bounce around between the defense contractors for the rest of their career. Taking a job outside of the defense industry means letting their clearance (and practically guaranteed job any time they want one) to expire. Any other ideas you have?
I would never do what you suggest. We have a hard enough time finding developers who are proficient in one language, much less two or more. I guess it depends on where your heart is. If your heart's in the technology you do whatever is the best option right now. If your heart's in the business, you do the best to maintain your sustainability moving forward.
Who are you to judge whether an electronic component is salvageable? Maybe the processor on that video card is good but the memory is bad? Maybe I can make use of that. Maybe I can pull those capacitors off that dead motherboard and use them for something else. Remember, we're talking about places where uneducated labor is practically free. Training someone to pull electronics components off of circuit boards isn't that hard.
Well, these countries have to tax someone. By taxing 'luxury' goods like cell phones and computers they're taxing the 'rich' and not taxing the starving masses. Makes sense to me.
Actually there's a lot of oil pipeline static regarding Afghanistan. I'm not saying that's why we went there, but just because you don't have oil in your country doesn't mean we don't want to pipe oil through it.
Let's see, the odds of getting mugged on the drive from my bank to Best Buy are approximately one in a billion. The odds of having my identity stolen with regular/liberal use of credit/debit cards is about 100%. And let's be honest, only a fraction of a percent of purchases are over the $1k mark.
Or you could.. ya know.. discover that there's vulnerabilities inherent in the system and just use cash instead. Using cards (even debit) causes price inflation. Cash is king.
Since there's about a bazillion or so hosting companies out there which charge a fee for hosting business websites, and many of those are the storefronts for said companies... I don't see why you think it'd be so much different to use cloud computing for other (or similar) business tasks.

A single person can live off $20k a year in many many rural areas in the country.

Some of the 'bad' things happen by design. Others happen by them not caring. Very little occurs due to incompetence.

It's funny because if you replace CoS with a popular American religion, your post still works.

Seems like them billing you for something you didn't purchase could be twisted into mail fraud.
While I agree with you in principle, not all nations have the same copyright laws.

I haven't watch the evolution of javascript over the years, so I can't say why it didn't go this way in the beginning.
Because java applets sucked.

Not particularly when you consider most people don't do any updates or configuration of their home Windows PC either.
