Perhaps the goats have been too busy bending over and pulling their behinds apart.

A company like Luxco, maker of Everclear, can benefit from economies of scale by scaling up production volumes of its products. But in order to do that, the company has to try to be everything to everyone.

Because the alternative to violence in Israel could involve seeking a work visa in another country.

Any idea on how to crate an alternative to Microsoft's Xbox business unit with "principles and freedom"? Historically, there haven't been a lot of major studio video games released as free software from day one.

Indians. Hmmm... So does this mean Microsoft is giving up IIS and switching to Apache?

That's the problem: the lane doesn't get green lights. Oncoming traffic gets left turn arrow after left turn arrow, which last the whole phase.

For one thing, how would the child go about convincing the parent to buy the certificate? For another, once the child turns 18, how does the parent transfer his or her interest in the developer account to the child? Or is the parent supposed to take the apps down from the App Store, forfeit the remaining months of iOS Developer Program membership, and have the child buy a new certificate and put it up as a brand new app?

I too use walk buttons where available. But the intersections with which I've had the most problems have no marked crosswalk, no pedestrian signal, and no walk button.

That'd be correct. I live a few states east of you.

This is the stop sign maneuver, also used at a flashing red signal or a right turn at a steady red signal. At a stop sign, I make sure to slow enough to put weight on my foot before proceeding.

I too keep track of how many cycles have elapsed, and I report problematic intersections to the city's hotline once I do arrive. But in the 35 states without a dead red statute, even waiting an hour isn't good enough for the letter of the law. Until about a week ago, it was 36; Indiana's dead red statute took effect on July 1 of this year. Before that, there was one intersection on my way to work where I often had to wait over five cycles for some SUV to pull up behind my bicycle. Oncoming traffic kept getting green left turn arrows while I got an eight-minute steady red in the straight lane. I reported that one to the city and the state, which kept pointing fingers at each other.

Treating a red light as a stop sign works unless there happens to be a police car parked in a nearby parking lot.

So if the whole PC gaming industry or the whole graphic design industry paints itself into a corner, how are end users supposed to not compromise?

I'm a cyclist, and I follow the rules of traffic to the extent that I can. But the metal rims of my bicycle don't have enough surface area to consistently trigger the vehicle-sensing induction loops at intersections. At some intersections in my home town, I've seen even a bicycle and a motorcycle put together fail to trip it. So in the 35 states that haven't passed dead red laws, I don't understand how to follow the law against crossing the street at a red light, other than by not traveling at all.

How would someone go about fixing an operating system whose biggest problem is that it can't run many of the proprietary applications on which he relies? There are plenty of applications for Windows that aren't ported to any *BSD.

If by "donations" you include donations of one's time, yes. Some homeless shelters expect those people who are able to perform some sort of work to do so.

I think someone might not be aware of the loanword "auteur".

The "auteurs" in the featured article had already worked in the industry for a long time. Is there an analogous article about auteurs who have broken into the industry without having worked for a well-known video game studio?
