From what I remember from class, if they don't enforce their "Scrolls"-Trademark, they are in danger of losing it. If they don't enforce "Scrolls", even if they lose the lawsuit, someone could use "elder scrolls" and say "they didn't enforce scrolls and elder is just another word".
So they have to enforce everything because if they start to allow something, they are in danger of losing their trademark for good.
And now, since they said "scrolls" is ours and the court says "no, Notch can keep scrolls, but you made your claim known", no one can come and refer to this lawsuit as "scrolls was ok to be used, because Bethesda didn't enforce".
But for html5 replacing flash in these parts we do need DOM-Bindings for Bytecode now more than ever. It would be so great to write code in a language of my choice and compile it to Browser-Bytecode with DOM-Bindings. This would make it possible to deliver more proprietary code without making browser-plugins or something similar.
Yeah, nobody should be surprised by this. They sell trust and if they no longer have any trust to sell, they go bankrupt. It's not like you could import trust for a dime a dozen from China.
we made a brighter future for our children. That alone should be reason enough to fight for renewable energy sources and a world without nuclear reactors. I mean, c'mon.
We 64bit users have been denied official 64bit Flash exploits. We had to rely on the experimental exploit-support or the 32bit exploits. I've been waiting very long for this and I am glad, Adobe lives up to its promise, to release security holes for 64bit Linux in the same reliable manner they did for 32bit Linux and Windows. Thank you.
Seriously, the screenshot in TFA looks like GNOME3.
And that was what the GNOME-ppl said: "we're making a system that works on desktop and portable" and you guys rant about the new interface. Now KDE makes one for portables that looks like GNOME3 and I sure as hell know who's going to praise it.
Will we ever be able to try those concepts out before judging them?
Everybody seems to be thinking about only upgrading the CPU but keeping the board. Today you find yourself more often in a situation the other way around. I recently bought myself a AMD3 Board with 16GB RAM and a Hexacore Processor. I've had my X2 5000+ for some years. I think I'd like to upgrade my board in two years to support more recent features, but my CPU will be plenty for years (even for gaming, the GPU usually gives you the ZANG!, my 5000+ was enough to play most games). So I will have the chance to buy modern boards still supporting my CPU and when I decide to change that, I can upgrade that.
Very nice.
If Wi-fi interferes with the board systems, doesn't this (more importantly) mean, that the board systems interfere with the wi-fi? What am I supposed to do during a long flight? Angry-Birds instead of CounterStrike? I don't think so.
"Mail delivered to these accounts will count as delivered to the recipient"
Yeah, well, not true. Actually, you start counting three days after the technical delivery. Check your mail reguarily and gain three days. Check your analog mailbox not often enough (people in my house check their boxes once a week) and you will miss deadlines as well.
When you elect a conservative party which makes a coallition-government with the lobbyist party (the FDP - "free democrats" are actually just that), you get exactly that.
A goernment which is susceptible to this kind of corporate influence.
And they don't even have to justify their actions. They don't have to give the actual numbers. Transparency in government my a**. I didn't vote for them.
He kinda wrote, that he would not do math papers
"As long as it doesn't require me to do any math or video-documented animal husbandry, I will write anything."
Can't they just make it a library?
I mean, I would not buy an eBook for the same money as a paperback-edition. I cannot give this eBook to my kids, when I die, I do not see it in my bookshelf but more importantly (and Cory Doctorow, I believe, said this before Randall Munroe), I cannot burn it.
I would use an eBook-reader if it was a way of accessing my local library. I pay my annual fees and I can rent two books at a time for two weeks (which I can extend) and if I don't "give it back" in time, I have to pay late fees. They also have to print my daily newspaper on trees.
But I love my bookshelf and I hate going to the library. It is sad, that we have the technology to fix this, just not the business-model.
Since JavaScript isn't defined at all, it would be a bad thing, to define a bytecode for browsers that every language could compile to?! And since when does Java have DOM-Bindings to directly manipulate a html page and register event handlers (and so on) as JavaScript does?
What we really need are DOM-Bindings for Bytecode. So you can use every language you want that is capable of compiling to bytecode and send it to a browser. This would make it easier for the developer and bytecode is easier and faster for the browser to execute.
JavaScript should become a legacy system since I think we are slowly at the point that JS-parsing and executing can no longer be optimized. We're getting there so that you can only throw hardware at the "problem".
Take a deep sip of this feeling. The knowledge that we, slashdot, slashdotted Google. We will one day fondly look back at these heroic memories and tell this story proudly to our kids and grandkids.
And even if they do not believe us, when they say "grandpa, stop beeing silly", we will know it was true.
Or to quote someone a little more famous than me:
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words,
CmdrTaco, Anonymous Coward,
Scuttlemonkey and Jeff Bates,
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Slashdot's Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he to-day that clicks this link with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That clicked with us upon Slashdot's day.

does this explain the missing mass in the universe or did we allready account for what we found? Hundreds of 'em within a 40ly radius?!
I am a traditionalist and traditionally superheroes have been white or green. Let's keep it that way, shall we?!

This one? No.
Even Darth Vader had to build an own death-one.

You don't believe how much porn I've been downloading lately.

Oh, you already did?!

Just add debian testing to your sources.list
Or if you are really curious how it feel when your userland changes on a daily basis, add debian unstable...

Ok, he did not kind of write it. He wrote it.
