Comparing an internet stream to a purchase seems unfair.
I'd be interested in seeing how an internet stream compares to a radio broadcast. Given that a radio broadcast hits a huge but mostly uncountable (or difficult to accurately count) audience I would expect a single stream to be a small fraction of even the cost of playing a single song on the radio.
While this is indeed a silly move it does mean that nobody in Pakistan will be taking my development contracts... of course this also means there will likely be an influx of developers into surrounding countries.
Except that multitouch has been around a long time, since the early 90s.
Just because Apple was the first to put it in the phone, and even arguably did it the best shouldn't make it patentable. Just because you have the best or most popular version of something doesn't mean you thought of it first.
I don't think that's the argument. Direct Linux support is going to be very unlikely anywhere, but using open standards should be common in universities and the difference is between "do you support" and "is it possible to use".
As for the whole "noone allows linux on their work desktops", people used to say this about macs too (outside design), now almost 1/2 of my office uses them. Not just coders/designers either.
"I, and more than a few others, don't really have any interest in grouping in WoW"
Then you aren't actually interested in WoW. I left almost 2 years ago, but unless things have really changed Blizzard has never said the game was intended to be for people who want to play alone.
I use Evolution on a daily basis at work for my gmail, Domino-via-IMAP, and Exchange ( not 2007 ). About once a week I need to run a tiny script to restart evolution and reset the exhange connector. Other then that I haven't had any issues with it, and it was updated (Ubuntu repos) last week so at least a little dev is still going on.
Of course I might just be lucky, but it seems to work fine for me.
Agreed, My wife recently had her credit card # stolen, along with her full name and address (though the latter is in the phone book and is hardly stealing)
Credit card company reversed all charges, no questions asked, I'm annoyed that they and the police refused to attempt to catch the thieves but still, no issues with the credit,,, until they started opening cell phone accounts using JUST the name and address, not even requiring the credit card # which I think it total BS.
I did receive some of the bills from different accounts that had been opened up, some of which contained repeated calls to the same landline in residential Montreal. Police still refuse to do anything, but I didn't really expect any help from them.
Rule #1 if any ID materials get stolen call and get a fraud alert on your credit reports immediately and save yourself a world of trouble.
How about using a tiered OpenID system Where you can have multiple levels of accounts?
Right now I use one set of username/pwds for my banking and sensitive accounts. I'm very careful about what machines I use this info on and who I give it to. A second username/pwd pair for stuff like./, gmail, last.fm etc... which I use for sites that I frequent and would rather not have someone else access using my name. Finally a third for smaller forums and stuff that I could really care less about.
I would like to be able to tie them together in a way that let me use a higher-tier account to reset the pwd of the lower tier accounts but not vice-versa or across a tier.
It's still an "all your eggs in one basket" approach, but it's a slightly more secure basket.
I though the two-face seen at the end was really well done in term of suspense as well. I wouldn't have believed it from most Hollywood films, but I seriously thought it was possible that he was going to shoot that little boy in the head.
Have a look at Hudson as a possible replacement for CruiseControl there too. I found it quite a bit easier to use and we have deployed rather large projects using it. It's also Free.
Why do all the processors have to be the same? why not have a x-core processor for the smaller tasks that are easily parallizable and have a high-cycle processor for the ones that aren't? Same might be done for cache requirements?
If they are looking for accessible popular science books, I think Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything" should be included even if just as a primer for the heavier stuff.
Though the earth sciences sections might be a bit lengthier then most would appreciate the book on whole was excellent, and for anyone who does a lot of travelling the audiobook is read by someone with a reasonably lively voice.
I think the point is that if you compromise a user (non-root) account you can create a script that if they click ( hmm, what's this Doom 3 shortcut?) would be able to execute your commands as root.
The idea being that not everyone is a root user FOR A REASON./n
What happens if you "can't find it"?
They would obviously charge you for a new one, but could they really gouge you on the one you were forced to replace?
Remember when ppl would complain when asked to RTFM?
now it's "I don't want to click the updater, or do a simple google search!"
The biggest boon to Linux in the past 5 years is the support coming out of forums IMO.

After these 2 trip into their lifeboats. I'd love to see some life breathed into this great company.

Typed at work on my Ubuntu-running Laptop.
O'Reilly publishes the Subversion book, and it's also available free online (and as a full PDF)

This might be an interesting avenue.

I like Eclipse, and can't build Flash apps using it.
Well, Flexbuilder (Adobe's big RIA flash toolset) is an Eclipse plugin. It's not free, but the sdk is, and you can get AS3 syntax highlighters.
And if you're a big Java guy, there is even a very functional Maven mojo for flex.
hehe, appropriately flame-bait
nice work on whomever modded that

I thought you couldn't patent a game?
couldn't they just rename-it, change some of the images to remove the copyright issues, then release it again?
I would expect that would put a bullet in this supposed POS Hasbro version.
Isn't it illegal to inquire about the physical health of prospective employees?
I'm pretty sure it is here in Canada to prevent discrimination, just like job applications can't inquire about your age/race/gender...
Of course I could be mistaken
Especially the Norwegian Blue. Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
Wouldn't that be his "outbox"?

I really don't think the Joker wanted to end his game with the Batman, it seemed like he was having too much fun.

Unfortunately that is not entirely the case. the SDK and low level function at least appear to be propriatry. http://code.google.com/android/terms.html
