I don't believe that's correct. You need to stop infringing the copyright - that means either obey the terms of the license or stop distributing (and deal with the consequences of the limited distribution you already made).

I hope this doesn't help the bogus 'GPL is dangerous, an outside contractor can make you reveal your code' meme to spread.

I always heard that the imperial system was 'intuitive' because it allowed lots of ways of packing things. If you have 12 items, then you can make a 4 x 3 box of them and it is almost square. You could also do 2x6 (they pack eggs that way).

You could split the between imperial and metric and switch to a consistent base 12. You'd get all the nice features of a consistent system, and you'd still have nice packing for the supermarket. "Honey, I broke an egg. Now there are only B left."

I would recommend base 16, but noone ever uses that.

Or someone could prove it doesn't happen in their kernel...

Online news has been stuck in a prisoner's dilemma situation (from their POV). If everyone charged for news, then they'd be OK. When only some people charge for news, those that charge lose their audience. That drives the system to the equilibrium of noone charging for news. From the consumer's POV this is a good thing.

Because Murdoch owns so much of the news, he might be able to break out of the current poor (for newspaper publishers) equilibrium. Of course, if he can do so then he's pretty much demonstrated that he has enough of a monopoly that market power isn't working. There would be evidence for an anti-trust case against him.

The other problem with all this is that it assumes that the problem newspapers are having with revenue is caused by the cannibalisation of the print editions by the online editions. I understand, although I cannot provide evidence, that the real problem is that the classified market has gone away. The newspapers lunch got eaten by eBay and Craigslist, not cannibalised by their own online offerings. And if this is true, then raising prices for consumers might increase revenue, but it wont return it to where it was.

TiniWiki also does this. I haven't done a detailed comparison with the one in the article, but I last time I looked TinyWiki was pretty good. They had two advantages over some other similar products: a) they had more of Wikipedia, not just a cut-down or old selection, and b) they could do incremental updates.

I prefer ClickToFlash to many of the other flash blockers for safari:

http://github.com/rentzsch/clicktoflash/tree/master

Many safari plugins use InputManager hacks to patch safari. That can be dangerous, and I don't have the time to really check which ones are safe and which ones aren't.

In contrast, I believe that ClickToFlash is just another web plugin (the same as flash itself). It is used instead of the normal flash plugin. It displays a plain grey box. When clicked on, that grey box loads the normal flash plugin. The result is a flash blocker that works in safari using standard APIs.

Just to clarify, MarkvW said the "Parent article" is a full of gross misstatements. I assume MarkvW is referring to Bill Snyder's "Parent article" (the first link in the summary and referencing Lawyer Jonathan Moskin's coments), not rewt66's "Parent post" of his knowledge of the case (which matches my memory of the case).

I don't think Snyder's article is full of "GROSS misstatements". I think it is full of the sort of ordinary misstatements you get when a well meaning journalist is reporting on something they don't really get. It is full of false balance, and it leaves out some important details stating things like "The facts in the case are somewhat muddled". I suspect Snyder's understanding is more muddled than the facts, but I think he did an OK (but not good) job.

It looks vaguely android-esque. The clock looks the same, but there isn't a little tabby thing on the bottom of the screen - except there is a little tabby thing on one side.

Is it Android? Or is cloned from the Android UI? Or is it just parallel evolution?

Samsung has announced using Android for other phones.

It seems to me that part of the issue here is that you're trying to form a single ranking of all the papers/journals, and there might not be one. Netflix doesn't try to form a single ranking of all movies, they try to find the ones that a particular individual will like - a personalised definition of good.

This allows the crackpots to have their own definition of 'good', and there is nothing wrong with that.

For individual researchers this approach would probably work very well. Funding bodies would need to specify more constraints than just that they want "good research" to get a useful answer. Figuring out what those extra constraints 'should' be is an interesting question.
