Sorry, but Open != Detailed Documentation any more than Closed does. See Mark Russinovich's blog for way too much detail about the Windows kernel and ecosystem.
I'd also argue the MSDN site is far more comprehensive and easy to use (if they'd stop pratting about with the colours and layout every other week) than any single source of linux docs (if there even is one)
MS do seem to realise that you can't write docs assuming the reader knows what the doc is about, unlike most OSS documentation that assumes way to much knowledge.

These IBM pages are very useful and a commendable activity and a good read for any one interested in *nix, or operating systems. But these are the exception rather than the general rule.

Agreed, its the only one that stays in the background, doesn't bother the user unless there's a problem.

Doesn't seem to need to many resources either.

Urm why block it? If its illegal, then get a court order and take it down. Arrest those responsible etc etc.
If its not illegal then it must be legal and then also be fine for public consumption.

But as people have pointed out numerous times, the governments don't want to block illegal content, they want to control access to legal content.

The UK had a similar responce after a large pedophilla case, I thought at the time I don't want you to block it, I want you to delete the content then find the scum and hang'em. In fact pedophilla is one of the few types of content that has fairly consistent global laws, and should be easy to prosecute for.

It does seem a rather ott response from the boss.
Our's tried a similar thing, but was slightly more reasonable and said one ear only...ie so you could still respond. luckily that seems to have been dropped now.

I would suggest you find out if there is an underlying reason, maybe he's had complaints of people ignoring the phones or something.

As many have already said, AP and Reuters provide the source of the news, and far far to many 'newspapers' just republish it.

People like content, which Murdoch seems to forget about his own site, WSJ was good and people pay for it because it was more than just AP reprints, it was decent articles...similar to the BBC they tend to start with a summary and then add value by adding more detail.

It's like the difference between Engadget and AnandTech, Engadget will tell you Intel have launched i7 and some bullet points. Anandtech will have a 10 page analysis. I read both, but would only ever consider paying for Anandtech, knowing that I could get the same info as the Engadget from hundreds of other sites.

Newspapers need to reposition themselves, either go back to geographical seperation, or hirer proper journalists that can write proper stories, there will be less news per paper, but should better information, that I can't get elsewhere.

I do agree with the looting, you kill some badass baddy and get a single healing potion. Where did their armour and weapon go? Doesn't always have to be special, just represent what they were holding.

I also think its been dumbed down a bit, possibly for the console generation (or console tech limitations). Very simple stats and skill trees, no mage loosing powers in armour stuff, no needing to learn spells or stupid identify crap.

But I also played it for 23 hours over the release weekend...so maybe that's more telling:)

Easily the best cost ratio for a multiroom. Esp now that you've got more client devices to pick from. So your main room can have a high end Transporter, your bedroom can have the new radio, the kitchen the boombox, or you can get the touch if you've already got speakers in the room. The Duet also provides a housewide wifi remote for easy browsing.

All devices can sync to each other, or in any combination of devices. Software is powerful and can be run from a large number of NAS devices, so you don't even need your main PC on.

Well I'd hope that any half IT literate lawyer would look at the following:

And argue that 'use and run' is impossible without 'copying' it to memory, and so Apple couldn't have classed a memory copy as a unauthorised copy when they wrote the EULA. Otherwise their EULA would have specifically stated 2 copies!

Pen and Paper? seems best.

But to stay relevant:

A scanner? a handheld one would probly do.

A A6 graphics tablet?

Or the expensive option, one of those digital pens? that stores your scribbles in the memory for transfering later?

Cept when Data Protection laws/policy are properly enforced!

Just had these come from high ups through to our dev team, they say 'no prod data in test', however they offer no alternatives or budget to overcome the massive limitation they've just placed upon us.
So in order to keep functioning the rules will be the subject a few poor jokes, and then ignored.

"Shouldn't Palm at least be checking to see if the apps are malware?" maybe if they had infinite time and money.
A better solution would be to let us do it, the public will be better and quicker at judging apps than any offical body. All Palm need to do is provide a decent robust feedback system, and a support process for cases where the app causes damage.

The original problem with Android was the HTC hardware. It was severly lacking esp when compared to the iPhone, Pre and Symbian S60 devices. Slow processors with not enough memory, same as their Windows Mobile phones.

Take the Hero, good build quality, fancy and polished GUI, but not enough memory to use those 7 'desktops' with the widgets that they advertise!

I think Android really needs a Arm Cortex 8 based phone with a decent amount of RAM.

The death of cursive can also be attributed to what we are writing. Modern business is full of acronyms, trademarked names derived from various languages, code, formula's etc.

Anybody tried writing pseudo code in cursive?? Imagine reading AnandTech in cursive? It would be a complete mess.

Also who do most people write to? Myself its 100% to myself, as notes.

The core of the problem highlighted by this fiasco is not that a company can take away what you paid for in good faith. It's that a company that has a business model around distributing copyrighted works can't even work out who owns the copyrights!

I mean wtf?
How the hell can the media/entertainment companies go after the public for copyright infringement when they themselves don't have a clue who owns what.

This is issue that the governments need to sort, simplify the ownership of copyright and force any owners to keep acurate records (available to all) about what copyrights they own. Ideally also scrap one piece of work being under multiple copyrights for stupid things like geographic region, and the practise of altering/remarketting a public domain work just so you can claim copyright on the 'new' version.

You forgot to mention that:
You've saved more people than Ghandi, Jesus, USA and the UNSC. You have saved millions more than you killed. You have built hundreds of ecological perfect cities that house thousands. You have helped evolve the human race from primates to space travellers. You have prevented the Earth from being destroyed by aliens, asteroids, gods and your evil twin brother. More than a few times you saved the entire solar system, and once you even saved the entire universe from destruction. You've built roller-coasters, hospitals and entire transport networks. You've read more about ancient history, engineering and advanced physics than anybody. You're worshipped by millions and your choices directly improve the lives of trillions.
