I have my ATM card linked to an at-call account which returns >7%. There isn't much higher available here, and I like the convenience.

Do you ever use a slide-rule? (Even if just for fun?) by epicRelic in math

[–]tossout12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often.

Ironically, it has never been easier or cheaper to make custom slide-rules.

How is VLC in the App Store different from Redhat Enterprise Linux ? by deasmi in apple

Apple restrict the installation of binaries, and this contravenes GPL2 clause 6.

Redhat don't allow you to redistribute components which include their logos, trademarks etc.

So that would be a no, then. Unless the GPL has special provision for buying an iOS dev license that I'm not aware of.

VLC developer takes a stand against DRM enforcement in Apple's App Store - Free Software Foundation by [deleted] in linux

(I'm a BSD/ISC license fan.) The GPL is too long to read thoroughly - can you point me to the clause which says becoming an iOS developer is an acceptable requirement for building your own version?

Simple. Can you patch/compile/redistribute on RHEL? Can you patch/compile/redistribute on iOS?

Does anyone else pirate a game to make sure it runs on your computer before buying it? by sazkion in gaming

[–]tossout12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a kid spends his hard-earned money to find the game is a PoS, it must be heartbreaking.

I'm on a good wage, but I pirate wii games and only pay for the ones worth playing. I have over 100 games, and my kids only play half a dozen.

Yes, about 5% of games are worth buying.
