I hope so, but I'm not optimistic. Look at what happened to cable prices. I think a lot of people that still have cable are paying upwards of $100 a month. I'm baffled why anyone would spend that much to watch TV, but the cable companies manage to convince some people to pay that much. I think if cable companies can extract that much- the individual streaming services might be hoping to get a significant chunk of that cash from the cord cutters.

Microsoft. Like IBM has nearly disappeared after decades pioneering... Microsoft has very little left. It never had much, and noticeably less if you throw out all the useless, senseless crap. If there remains any good karma in the universe, microsoft will die.

I could... but then I would pay double income tax. I got my US citizenship a few years ago before learning that the US is the only country in the world that collects income tax from citizens who emigrate. If I moved back to Europe I'd pay my income taxes there and then my US income taxes on top of that. Would have to be a huge pay raise to cover the double taxation.

I think you missed his point. If the investment is ours, the return should be ours. The school's return is in the form of tuition and prestige (leading towards more tuition), the students return is a valuable and marketable education, and the professor's return is continued employment and the opportunity to publish.

Obviously if it's a private university, or the work is entirely funded by non-government funds, then there is no issue with privatizing the results.

1st the political articles with the inane partisan bickering, and now I can't come to /. for compassion and understanding?

the Hell, indeed!

first they would have to admit that those countries exist, that its possible we can learn from them, and that this isn't the first time these problems have ever been encountered in the history of humanity.

Cryptocurrency maybe not yet; but they're already a social network. Not everyone uses them as one, but they are very much setup as one. Incorporating cryptocurrency isn't a far stretch. Especially since they're already handling money and have their own form of currency in the form of "badges" and "Stickers" already. (obviously not the same thing- but they've been dabbling in the speculating with those things for a while).

Yes, it automatically uploads nudes to the 'appropriate' website. Yes, it also works on kids. Don't worry though, grandma won't see them unless she is into the wierd stuff. This is after all an internet ready device.

The damned credit agencies can't even get my address right. I've ran 3 agency checks several times over the last few years, and found multiple errors, and yet the government wants to rely on these jackasses? They should be sued into oblivion for not getting their shit straight. I'm currently fighting with one of them over a phony bill from MCI...yes, MCI. I had used them at an old address that I moved away from back in '02, and yet MCI posted that I owe them about $50 as of 2013...eleven years after I no longer had an account with them. I could easily pay off MCI, but am fighting it on principle.

My CNC software runs on MS-DOS you insensitive clod!

it's what ive said before: "he was a law abiding owner....until he wasn't."

And by the same logic, I shouldn't be supporting Firefox at all vs Chrome and Safari .

I bet the compositing code in Firefox on Windows is a mess of #ifdefs and different backends to cope with different versions of DirectX and rendering APIs. Also the same for theming support. And video / audio support. Also the same for font / canvas rendering. And for UAC / permissions work. And anything to do with the installer.

That probably amounts to a lot of noise and different code paths that somebody has to maintain and impedes refactoring and modernisation. That's reason enough to consider dropping it.

If you were one of those competitors it's not clear who you might sue... The government of Luxembourg negotiated the deal, but they could argue that they reasonably believed to be to legal and point to similar deals in Ireland as evidence. Amazon would probably argue that it's not their job to understand the finer points of tax law when offered a deal by a government, which is of course bullshit because you can bet their accountants were the ones who suggested it.
