If you don't mind my asking, what's scheduling Chromium's processes or the other processes like the X server then?

PC has been accepted as meaning "an x86 personal computer generally running dos or one of its successors" for roughly 30 years now. Bitch all you want, but you're not going to change things.

Google's actions look a lot like dumping. It's probably only a matter of time before a judge tells us one way or another.

Nothing wrong w/ having a monopoly. You only run afoul of antitrust laws when you abuse it. Is Google classified as a monopoly yet? I dunno, but if they're not they're approaching it.

That non-competitive SPARC stuff recently trounced IBM and HP in performance/dollar, performance/watt and performance/rack. I'd hate to see what you define as competitive.

So is their job to prevent monopolies or prevent commanding influences?

But who granted that pass? It certainly wasn't the small caribbean nation.

If it is apparent that Oracle is dragging their feet on development AND their is a significant desire for a more capable database then yes a fork will happen. Either that or people will flock to alternatives. The biggest thing that bothers me about this objection is the fact that Oracle and MySQL aren't competitors. This is like someone raising a stink about Caterpillar acquiring the company that makes my riding lawnmower. Sure they both make tractors, but they're not really aimed at the same markets.

You do to. EU contries can not declare copyrights null and void without small changes like pulling out of the WTO and nullifying the Berne Convention.

Actually they're multinational companies, and Oracle stands to lose a fair chunk of change if they can't do business in EU countries. Not that I agree with this retarded group's findings. The whole "Can't sustain development without being able to sell proprietary licenses" is bunk. Plenty of opensource projects thrive without being able to sell proprietary licenses. Linux springs to mind.

Neither do the newspapers for the most part. When I read the paper, everything is mostly AP stories.

Stupid law. I would wager that more accidents are caused from people paying attention to the conversation on their phones than from the physical act of holding the phone. Allowing hands-free operation does very little to solve the root of the problem.

I thought the poster was pretty clear. Not everyone is anxious to return to the dumb terminal days, and apparently the poster is one of those people.

You can add the skilled trades that require licensing electrician, plumber, etc.

The money is decent, especially if you're willing to travel. You do have to keep your skillset up to date in order to keep your license. From what I can tell there's quite a bit of fraud involved though, especially in home health and rehabs, so CYOA.
