I don't think his claim on the 5th for the documents will stand. They aren't his testimony and thus aren't protected under the 5th. If pressed, he could get obstruction of justice for it.

Can you effectively teach a class with that many students? That's a ridiculously high number.

I don't agree. From your link, RMS says: "As far as we know, all existing released free software source code would qualify as open source." This is clearly saying that all free software is a subset of open source. Thus, open source does not eschew software freedom. Please explain the disconnect.

I'm with you, AC. A guy at work is one of those who is proud of himself for not owning a TV, and constantly yaps about how it rots your brain. He then goes and plays video games for 8 hours each night, by himself, online, with only his cats for company.

Good point. By using the semicolon before "and (3)" the authors of the law didn't forget the comma before "or distribution"; they simply didn't intend to separate packing and distribution. Or, so it's reasonable to argue.

Rebuttal: Only for stuff they owned or is now available as open source. The stuff I am most proud of is owned by a medical company and I can't show it to you. However, I would certainly be willing to talk you through it without showing you the code.

I'd extend this to be more specific: the prosecution's real job is to WIN the case. By this I mean that they will block as much evidence as possible from the defense, because it helps them win. They will do whatever they can to stack the jury in their favor (not to get a truly balanced jury). It's not about proving guilt or, God forbid, finding the truth.

The answer was basically in TFA:

They're swiping at the cloud revenue, not the Windows/SQL product licensing revenue.

I have a friend from Sweden, who though he doesn't actually write in Swedish, sometimes the translator will translate his comment "morning" to "morningwood." It's neither him nor I who does this, but the crowdsourcing of the translator knowledge. So, the more that it relies on crowdsourcing of translations, the more odd things happen.

I wonder if it will convert "Morning!" to "Morningwood!" like the Microsoft text translator.

No it wasn't, but AC empowers people to let their inner dick shine through.

More importantly, I wouldn't say that the 32GB model is 8x slower, but that the 128/256GB models are 8x faster. The article makes it seem like those getting less memory are screwed, which isn't the case. You just get the performance improvements of a better, parallel write architecture if you get the model with more memory.

It's in the Oxford dictionary, run by the English. Seriously, though, you couldn't even be bothered to look it up before commenting?

Why is this troll given insightful +5? The Pats aren't even in the TOP HALF of the league for cheating.

No, I specifically said federal income tax. Correct, Idaho can't do that, and neither can Ireland do what they did. A "higher" authority (U.S. Gov / EU) then steps in to correct the situation. There's nothing retroactive about this. Apple simply isn't following the law, incorrectly thinking that Ireland/Idaho has the authority to give them a discount. But, they can still be held accountable despite being ignorant of the law. Anyway, that's the EU side and obviously the courts will make the final decision whether Ireland can do what they did (my take is no).
