Interesting. From the same document:
There's just a few simple rules here:
(1) don't call people d*ckheads (at least not in public)
(2) learn how to apologize when you forgot rule (1)
Perhaps those at the top should lead by example?
You might think forced free tethering is awesome.
Here's the actual effect it has had - everyone gets to pay more for data since everyone has to be able to tether. The new mandatory shared data plans are more expensive than older piecemeal plans. WHat about people that didn't want to pay for tethering? Too bad.
Or maybe this will happen instead...
Users will be able to use the data they're paying for, regardless of what device is consuming it. People who don't use much data will opt for cheaper capped plans that only offer as much data as they need.
Are you suggesting is that it's more expensive for my carrier if I consume 1MB of data on a tethered laptop than if I consume the same on a phone-based browser? Or that people who don't use all the data they're paying for should be subsidising those who do?
Actually, this could be good.
If I fail exams and have to repeat a year or two, I don't have to pay extra for those years?
I bet that occurs far more often than people finishing early.
Note: I don't support government intervention often, but the overall good of everybody is tied into our technological devices today in the same way that it once was in a fair market for automobiles.
I would have thought that the concept of patents and copyright are instances of government intervention. The government creates the legislation that grants temporary(!) monopolies to holders of these patents.
Lack of government intervention would mean that no such monopolies could be enforced.
Ah, but you're using logic. That's not how the law works.
It still wasn't an automatic install. You could uncheck the box and it wouldn't install. By definition, an automatic install is an install that happens no matter what you do.
That's a strange interpretation of "automatic". There's nothing in the definition of the word "automatic" that says you can't do something in advance to prevent the event from happening.
How does this effect servers?
I don't believe that it causes any servers to come into existence.
I know you're having a laugh, but that sums up my experience of help from the Linux community - technically correct, but obviously doesn't help the poor guy.
Sorry, I meant "Wikileaks isn't an **American** organisation"...
I should ease off on the beer.
They obtained those documents illegally
Illegal where? You know Wikileaks isn't an illegal organisation, right?\
Or am I wrong to be sitting here drinking a bottle of beer, because it's illegal in some other country?
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
800x600? Pah, anything less than 1280x800 just isn't worth it for reading
Depends on what books you have, I suppose. My books have words rather than pictures, and I find the 600x800 screen of my eReader very good.
1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1.
