You're either a neutral service provider (e.g. Telephone, internet, hosting, etc. ) Or you're an editor. Having it both ways is a problem. You can't have the protections of the first if you behave like the latter. (i.e.) If you're going to edit or restrict, then you're responsible for ALL content hosted, and should be able to be sued directly.

It's not free. It's payed for by taxes. So even though the parents don't get an education bill each month. They still get a property tax bill, and an income tax bill, and a sales tax on every purchase.

I would say that they really can't operate cars either. I imagine these car users going through a mental checklist: Merge on to ramp Watch for incoming traffic Oh crap should I speed up or slow down, I don't remember. *phew* managed to merge with only causing a small traffic jam. Immediately cut off traffic while proceeding to the left most lane, and travelling 10 mph below the speed limit. *starts raining* SLAM ON BRAKES!

Novell Bringing .Net Developers To Apple iPad 315

Posted by timothy on Friday January 29, 2010 @10:50PM from the odd-confluence dept.

GMGruman writes "Paul Krill reports that Apple's new iPad could be easier to write apps for, thanks to Novell's MonoTouch development platform, which helps .Net developers create code for the iPad and fully comply with Apple's licensing requirements — without having to use Apple's preferred Objective-C. This news falls on the footsteps of news that Citrix will release an iPad app that lets users run Windows sessions on the iPad. These two developments bolster an argument that the iPad could eventually displace the netbook."

I'd be satisfied to review the algorithms used for the climate model. But neither they nor the data have been made available. Sorry, you're the troll. Show me the evidence, and I'll change my mind.

I'm not making the claim that global temperatures are stable. I'm not making the claim that global temperatures are rising due to natural causes I'm not making the claim that Global temperatures are rising due to man, but it will have beneficial effects. I'm not making the claim that Global temperatures are rising due to man, and will cause global catastrophe but all proposed solutions will fail. I'm saying, the claims your making are bunk because you have no evidence.

This is only a value-added subset of the Hadley data. That was "peer-reviewed" by scientists "approved" by Hadley CRU. Which means that it's worthless.

You can't prove a negative. It is the responsibility of the scientists to prove it IS happening. The "deniers" have been asking the CRU for reproducible data. They were stonewalled until FOIA request were made. Then the answer was no we destroyed it when we moved buildings. There is no data, and the models are not reproducible. Therefore

Take for example two small companies (Alpha and Beta) of similar size both offering similar services in a community. Alpha has made an effort to be compliant in their licensing, the Beta has not. Since Beta has not spent the time and money to comply with licensing, it is able to provide it's services at lesser cost than Alpha. Alpha loses customers to Beta. It's not just BSA and Microsoft that loses out on such a scenario.
