...oh, shit. It wasn't an Amiga game. My bad.

Ah-heh-hem. Excuse me. I have to do this.

A-MIIIIIIIEEE-GAAAAAA

except please don't copy iMessage's "feature" where it tells you the message is delivered but the recipient never gets it.

I agree. This is one of the better/most-on-topic things I've seen on /. for quite a while. :)

No. A mutually agreed upon price is fine too. It just has to be agreed upon before the trip. Don't be so knee-jerky.

But things can go into the public domain after a time, which is what the post was referring to.

Well, I forgot to add that your Mickey Mouse Protection Act doesn't even apply here anyway. Unfortunately determining the details of what is/isn't public domain is still difficult: http://www.digitalnz.org/make-...

but none of that means that it's a myth.

Project Gutenburg would be a counter-proof.

Well, in NZ the drivers have to have both a passenger license, and a private hire license, which is more than a taxi driver needs. The main issue is that you can either be paid by the hour, agreed before-hand, or you charge using a licensed meter. Uber does neither.

> Then users will slowly realize that the Google's search results are not trustworthy and they will move away from Google as the search engine. The market will correct itself.

And that's why we need people questioning what they're doing, so that people have more information available to determine whether they should trust Google or not.

Its the same here in Melbourne with taxi licenses and newsagent licenses. To sell newspapers you needed to front up with 200 kAUD for the license. Unfortunately the newsagent licenses are worth next to nothing now and a lot of people got burned.

SpaceX are trying to do this with a barely throttlable ascent engine pushing a very light first stage. It can't hover before landing because thrust is too high. It has to steer by rotating the entire vehicle, which puts tight constraints on the landing timeline. I doubt that reliable landings can be achieved with this configuration. They may get one in 4. Something like that.

I mentioned the +/- zero thing in another comment elsewhere in this tree, actually! So we're all on board there.

It's not really that signless infinity is a contender for 'consensus' inasmuch as number systems which use signless infinity have utilities different from systems that have signed infinities, just like integer math continues to exist despite the 'improvements' of fractions and decimals.

Same reply: Python is not fully functional, and so list constructors like that cannot be counted upon to work elegantly in all situations. This is a completely normal thing common to basically every imperative language, and it's just something you have to accept—and write a special-purpose function for.
