I don't see any explanation of how the ruling will kill the GPL in the article, just a lot of hyperbole. Reading it a second time, maybe the author is just taking a lot of logical jumps that I cannot understand. Can anyone give me a re

Yup, I'm aware of that but also know that the situation is very dependent on where you live (prefectures, cities, etc.) which is why I want to see numbers and actual studies rather than a hollow criticism. The differences in cultures i

FYI, to own a car in Japan, you must have a legal verified parking spot that you own. For most people, that probably means land in the same area as your home. So even without a garage, they should still be able to install an outlet on their

I'd like to read exactly what those critics say because I'm curious to see if they are accounting for the difference in driving culture between the US and Japan. Specifically, in Japan: 1. Owning a car in Japan is no where near as

You won't because you're making it even easier on the defense. Trying to optimize for that spot would screw up the positioning for everyone else on your team. The defending team would have it easy because you've essentially k

Production lines can be moved to other factories at great cost, but the labor is replaceable. Convincing your entire US living (mostly citizens) engineering staff to live/work outside the US would be much harder. You can have them tele

Question, does Apple employ any engineers that are not US citizens? Or are telecommute workers living in other countries? If so and they were one of the key engineers, what would happen if they refused? What type of international laws would

Incorrect. It's free because Google pays for it by: - tracking users both on YouTube and outside of it - then using the collected data to sell more targeted ads If it were just ads, then far fewer people would care about watching them
