A while back a state IT Department (I think Massachusetts) decided to only use open-source document formats and talked back and forth with Microsoft. The head of the IT Department (or something similar) privatly asked some of Word's programmers, who said an odf/xml feature would be trivial to add, but MS flatly refused to make a plugin for Office to convert to odf/xml, even though it meant losing the state's patronage.
Microsoft is really determined to strangle open formats.
Before the Voyager got to Uranus and Neptune, Dr. Russ Humphreys proposed that the plants were originally made of water, and made very accurate predictions of their magnetic fields based upon that theory.
Interpretation is half the law. If we didn't infringe on people's rights to bear arms, we'd have private armies springing up wherever we had a captain of industry. Bill Gates or Warren Buffett or the Walton family could buy military grade equipment for "self defense." We as a society have to ask ourselves "Do we want that?"
Yes.
James Madison: "Americans have "the advantage of being armed" -- unlike the citizens of other countries where "the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
Patrick Henry: "The great objective is that every man be armed. . . . Everyone who is able may have a gun."
George Mason: "To disarm the people [is] the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
Samuel Adams: "The Constitution shall never be construed . . . to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."
Alexander Hamilton: "The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
Richard Henry Lee: "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
That's not why. Everything is stored in a couple monolithic files precisely too keep it from being made interoperable with Linux. Would you rather document 50 simple file formats, or 4-5 massive ones?
Having all the eggs in one basket doesn't only mean that it is much more vulnerable to corruption, it also means that it ruins the Linux community's typical strategy of divide-the-workload and conquer.
Net Neutrality is poisoned-pilled in the area of "tiers" and "charging providers".
The proposed regulations are far too complex, which leaves too much room for lawyers. For example: "The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." is brilliant. There is absolutely no wiggle room. The only option people who don't like it have is to simply ignore it, or start saying, "Well, they said this, but the really meant this..."
On second thought, #1 on my list might need some revising to account for the cost of connecting, something like: "the backbone provider may charge the connecting party solely for the cost of connecting." But I'd rather have a good lawyer write that.
When the government artificially raises or lowers the price of something, the havoc created is directly proportional to the distance of the artificial price from the natural one.
The Federal Government is supposed to: 1. Pass and enforce laws 2. Administer Justice 3. Defend the country
Notice the glaring absence of "Regulate Business". If any market regulation is be done, it should be done at the lowest level possible (e.g. state, local).
If your going to make a mobile, just make one. I just want my phone to have calling capability, address book, and maybe a browser. If it's going to be a miniature PC, just call it that.
I am personaly against the current form of net neutrality. I think that government intervetion is almost always bad. The ONLY regulations that should be passed:
1. All backbone providers must allow other providers to connect to them on a naked pipe 2. All providers must use standard protocols 3. Providers may only throttle data/bandwidth based on protocol, not orgin/destination
I believe anything more is harmful to the free market.
I have read a very lengthy (and officially verified) report from a ex-famous hacker of years ago, who had a very different experience than this fellow. He was locked up in low security for a long time with other non-violent criminals, and he was forbidden to use computers during his parole, and for some time after his release. His phone access was also severely restricted.
He highly advised potential young hackers to realize that it isn't any fun when you get caught, and he says that if you ever told ONE person of your hacking, you will be caught eventually. The accusing company simply names a damage sum, and then the hacker is sentenced according to tables which are getting continually stricter.
I have read Hugh Ross's attacks on Humphrey's work, and he simply says that it is wrong, but doesn't bother to say why. Have you actually read the book? I have, and it makes sense to me. (I am not trained in astrophysics, so of course you can say that's moot.)
But that's not the point. The "Geologic Column" doesn't exist. Nowhere. Not even in several large pieces. And there is simply no trace of the millions of transitional fossils that should exist from "in-between" stages of evolution. It's very easy to get bogged down with all kinds of seemingly contradicting evidence in other areas of science, but if one link is broken, evolution is false.
1. A normal link is the kind that happens when you right-drag a file and click "Create Shortcut Here". 2. A symlink are the kind of shortcuts MS Office and OpenOffice use for their programs, that have non-editable, empty Target lines.
Is this right? And if not, can anyone explain those shortcuts without targets?
Caffeine is a powerful drug that affects the central nervous system and causes the realase of adrenaline.
Wikipedia:
Caffeine tolerance develops very quickly, especially among heavy coffee drinkers. Complete tolerance to sleep disruption effects of caffeine develops after consuming 400 mg of caffeine per day for 7 days. Complete tolerance to all subjective effects of caffeine was observed to develop after consuming 300 mg per day for 18 days, and possibly even earlier.[43] Considering that 80% to 90% of American adults consume caffeine daily, and their mean daily caffeine intake exceeds 200 mg/day,[44] it can be surmised that a large fraction of the U.S. adult population is completely tolerant to caffeine. You are simply numb to it's affects.
Scientists are supposed to be open-minded. AiG and TJ do have some credibility. And there are plenty of creationists with credentials, if that's what you want. Here's an example: (from Aig's website)
Dr Humphreys was awarded his Ph.D. in physics from Louisiana State University in 1972, by which time he was a fully convinced creationist. For the next 6 years he worked in the High Voltage Laboratory of General Electric Company, designing and inventing equipment and researching high-voltage phenomena. While there, he received a U.S. patent and one of Industrial Research Magazine's IR-100 awards.
Beginning in 1979 he worked for Sandia National Laboratories (New Mexico) in nuclear physics, geophysics, pulsed-power research, and theoretical atomic and nuclear physics. In 1985, he began working with Sandia's 'Particle Beam Fusion Project', and was co-inventor of special laser-triggered 'Rimfire' high-voltage switches, now coming into wider use.
The last few years at Sandia had seen greater emphasis on theoretical nuclear physics and radiation hydrodynamics in an effort to help produce the world's first lab-scale thermonuclear fusion. Besides gaining another U.S. patent, Dr Humphreys has been given two awards from Sandia, including an Award for Excellence for contributions to light ion-fusion target theory.
Dr Humphreys has retired from Sandia and now works with ICR. He still continues to write for TJ and serves as a resource scientist for AiG to assist with questions and information concerning physics, astronomy and cosmology. Education

Dr Humphreys has published some 20 papers in secular scientific journals, as well as many creationist technical papers. He is also the author of Starlight and Time, in which he proposes a model that the universe may only be thousands of years old even though light from distant stars appears to have taken billions of years to reach Earth. He is also author of Evidences for a Young World (available as a tract), and this is also the title of a video featuring Dr Humphreys. http://www.icr.org/research/index/research_physci_ humphreys/

There, now we can all agree! Since we're all fixing the "4 digits" and ">" parts, let me do it in GML: if StringLength(userid) <= 4 { F***With(user)=0; } And userid isn't a string, but GML doesn't have $ signs for string anyway! Thbbbbpt.

I find it pretty pathetic that a TV show made it to a Slashdot article. Free advertising, anyone?

What's wrong with paying another company to carry only your products? Is it considered anti-competitive?
But whatever the case, it shows that Intel doesn't trust their product enough to expose it to the free market.
The knee-jerk reaction is obviously to sue and see what happens.
So we all just wait until a network sues, then see what happens.
But - the bad PR would kill his credibility, and cause people distrust third party patches even more.
That's not why. Everything is stored in a couple monolithic files precisely too keep it from being made interoperable with Linux. Would you rather document 50 simple file formats, or 4-5 massive ones?

I'd leave that up to ICAAN, with these additional rules:
1. The protocol must be open source.
2. Usage or modification of the protocol must not be restricted by patents or copyright.
If your going to make a mobile, just make one. I just want my phone to have calling capability, address book, and maybe a browser. If it's going to be a miniature PC, just call it that.

It was a browser standards issue...it didn't work the same for everyone a few versions ago, now it is fairly consistant.
Competition stimulates new developments? Good, good. Just capitalism at work.
But the question is: who get's busted?
