AC/DC were so smart, never to release their songs on the radio, as singles, or in movie soundtracks. By demanding "whole album or nothing" they really proved their point on this whole issue.

$24 more in parts? Perhaps. But so what?

However, what about differences in costs around engineering, part yields, manufacturing time, etc.?

Stories like this are meaningless. The headline should read: "Some guy guesses some numbers."

The copyright on a non-protected derivative work automatically reverts to the original copyright holder. In this case, if I transcribe the dialogue to a movie, the dialogue still clearly belongs to whoever owns the copyright on the movie. If they license Netflix to use the dialogue as subtitles, then Netflix are within their rights to take it from transcriptions done without license.

Oh come on. Both articles you link to are full of nothing but conjecture and opinion, and both are about the same accident. Plus, anecdotal evidence tells us nothing. What I want to know is: how many accidents on average do Google autonomous cars have per mile, and how does that relate to the average for human-driven cars?

Software technical support, technical account management. Non-development semi-technical work in the software industry.

Seriously, how is this news? The article title is clearly an opinion. Just because your Kool-Ade is opensource doesn't make groupthink healthy.

In my experience, people get personally hurt when they are told that they don't need equipment as good as another department. It's one thing not to hand it out in the first place, but I can never imagine an employer taking away part of someone's working environment and equipment. It's a slap in the face. It's also disruptive to productivity-- Once someone is used to their setup, changing it at all can waste their time, especially taking away equipment they are used to as part of their daily process.

I'm aiming to have 200 million customers in four years too. And I'm about a likely to get them as Ubuntu is to meet their goal.

I may be wrong, but I think this one is backwards compatible with the last one. It basically adds all of the other connections to mini-DVI, doesn't it?

Interesting memory you have there. Because mine clearly includes a first wave of USB devices that were ALL "bondi blue" to go with the first generation iMac. By the time the PC manuacturers came on board, a lot of accessories already existed thanks to a market Apple created. The commodity PC market-- sorry, WinTel world-- may have benefited from "free" USB on Intel motherboards, but it didn't hurt that Apple made sure devices already existed for those ports.

Is it actually "reverse engineering" if you scrape the data off the ROM? It sounds like the phrase "reverse engineering" is just being used to avoid a DMCA attack.

Verizon offers DSL in far more areas than FiOS. I suspect the results would be more meaningful if their two products were separated.

That's only done with pronounced acronyms. They would write "Aids" but also write "H.I.V."

States are not provinces. They are states. The 50 members of the United States are geopolitically equivalent to the four members of the United Kingdom. I imagine a lot of people can find Scotland on a map.

Sure, this vastly increased sales-- the artist's direct sales of the trade paperback on his own Etsy. We have no sense at all of the scale of impact on overall sales. In effect, this was just the best opportunity he had had to drive traffic to his own site. Would this have even shown up as a blip in total overall sales? Did Amazon see a similar peak?
