I have had a femur destroyed by a car driver. Of course this is not considered an act of violence -- simply that I (as a pedestrian or cyclist) got in the way of a car. I was in the "right" -- the driver received a charge of "careless driving". Nearly killed me and I still use a cane after three years.
I don't operate a motor vehicle; I don't even have a driving license.
My take on this? Cars *must* be completely automated. I do not trust drivers. My other "attitudes" to the car society? Inner-city speed limits set to STRICTLY 30 to 40 kilometers/hour.
No seatbelts or airbags allowed as "safety devices" -- these certainly do not help with cars killing pedestrians and allow the car operators to be mre reckless.
On car-only highways, I would certainly allow unlimited speeds -- I don't even care about "drinking and driving" on those highways.
In cities and shared paths? I really want automated cars.
The last time I looked, Microsoft Office did not come with Visio. Last time I was forced to use Microsoft Office, I had to get the IT department to order and install Visio (and Microsoft Project). LibreOffice can edit Visio material directly.
However, LibreOffice can also bring in (import) Dia material, which is my preferred "Visio-like" tool. I also use Xfig. LibreOffice can revise Visio material, such that I can exchange with a Visio user.
As to "Outlook", my preference has been Evolution (for a long time). For notes, I use Evolution, Zim, Xournal and Gnome notes.
I am not sure what "the inevitable reply" is. The software I use meets my needs. May not meet your needs, but then, you are not me. Are you trying to sell me on Microsoft Office? That is very likely a non-starter: Microsoft Office would need to be able to accept Dia drawings.
Um, yes it can.. It can also do 3D -- most of the Aspire Ones, anyway... The line started with the Intel 945GSE Express. Later, some used ATI Radeon 4225.
The AAO D270 has an Atom N2600 (or N2800)- with Intel GMA 3600/3650 (PowerVR SGX 545), and that one doesn't do Linux 3D.
So, for use with Linux, avoid the D270 (use a D257), and 3d and compositing will work just fine.
Interesting. It doesn't compare, because it has not been released yet...
The Tesla S spanks the competition in luxury sedan market. All the comforts of a full-size sedan and the performance... of a $60k street racer (or a much more expensive car). Tesla seems to build the best car they can.
And why wouldn't the Tesla 3 duplicate this feat? Simply be the best $35k car yet made? You don't know that, and I don't, either.
The cost of the car is the combination of the purchase price, and the price of fuel, maintenance over the life of the car.
The "average American" spends $3,000 per year on gas. That is $30,000 over ten years. Tesla supercharger stations are free. And, electricity is cheaper than gas.
That Tesla will never need an oil change. Interestingly, ignoring the recommended maintenance does NOT void your Tesla warrantee.
In the Apollo timeframe, a "supercomputer" would be a CDC 6600 (1964).
3 MFLOPS and up to 10 million instructions per second, 60 bit word size, 262144 words of main memory (~3 million 6 bit characters) -- yes, your smartphone is more powerful. This was STILL the most powerful mainframe in 1969.
I have a tablet computer. Using Fedora on it. Mostly all right. Some frustrating bits. The dpi setting is dead wrong. Would have been a simple fix in the "old" init system. I would have simply added dpi correction before the X server came up.
Now, I am *just* an old-time Unix user. And, I do have other things to do... So, I posted a question to Fedora support. The response? Um... zero.
Sure, it's in the init.... somewhere. I really don't want to "learn" a new init system. Why should I want to? So, I applied corrections to my most-used applications instead.
Pulseaudio? works fine, sure. Except that the last time I tried it with something other than Gnome, my xbell no longer sounded.
So, use Gnome. Gnome needs systemd.
So, use systemd.
I am sure my dpi issues will be sorted. Hopefully before I retire this tablet - but I doubt it.
The best thing about systemd? It does start processes and reaps. On Fedora, it respects "service" and "chkconfig"
The logs are larger, which concerns me -- this is a SSD based tablet. All of the logging in my programs was broken by it. It only took 2 days to fix.
You are comparing CP/M-80 with Apple DOS? Remembering that CP/M-80 was available, um, 3 years before the Apple computer?
CP/M-80 was portable, with instructions on how to add a BIOS and relocate the OS -- didn't this take until Apple DOS 3.2? Oh, a separate BIOS was never done so the only computer it would work on was the Apple ][?
And, it was somehow CP/M-80s fault that Microsoft used it as a model?
I simply cannot charge $1.21 per hour for my time as an employee. Indeed, I would have to contract at that rate. But, of course, I still need credentials. How can I pay for post-secondary at that rate? I can't.
I need to immigrate to India. And, go to college in India to make this work. But, I *still* cannot compete, not being Indian (ref Infosys).
Google would have to detect queries with certain specified characteristics and NOT display certain relevant results
So, the comlaint would have to specify WHAT (the page), and WHY (the search criteria). Of course, that is in context of the search criteria of today.
This would have to work for FUTURE queries as well. And, future query mechanisms. To stay within the spirit of this law, the only reliable solution is to remove the page from the index. After all, this is supposed to allow "forgetting" the information. Google has no control of the source -- in this case, this is the BBC. Google is responding to a "right to forget". And, yes, the page is forgotten. That would be the spirit of this law. If the BBC has an issue with that, they should take it up with the EU.
An association is outdated if the information itself isn't? The association is the result of a search -- Google doesn't store all possible associations!
Hulu is a consortium that OWNs the copyright to the material. Are you missing this point for some reason?
If the consortium members have "licensed" away their OWN rights -- would be shortsighted of them.
As to your supposed "GAS" (golden age of streaming). Um. You do realize that broadband is better in a lot of other non-US places, right?
I personally don't care. Hey, I like "Bones" and it is available on Netflix. Happy enough to give them my money. And, it's commercial-free. If Hulu doesn't want my viewership (I live in Canada, and we do have Ford, Apple, and Coke here, too), I'll be happy to give my custom to Netflix. Suck it.
But, tell LG about it, ok (for example)? I mean, it COMES with a HULU app. That is completely useless to me. I don't even know HOW TO REMOVE THAT SUCKER. Even though LG is forced to produce Bilingual packaging for my region, they do not bother to remove features that CANNOT be used. Is this an attempt by a Korean company to somehow make me envy USAians? Or is is this ADVERTISING BY FUCKING HULU. So, it doesn't work. About the only thing ADVERTISING HULU and then not making it available will do is encourage me to use something like a VPS just to sneak a peak at (whatever the hell it is that I'm missing). Again, SUCK IT.
HULU - FOAD.

Prostitution is illegal? In the USA, I guess. And, not all over the USA, either. And, not where I live, either.
So, not that obvious.
Still, Renting some electronics? Recording a TV show? Acting as an agent for someone? Putting all of these together? Is the connection you are attempting with prostitution that it is considered a crime to provide pleasure for money?
What a strange thing! I guess I am allowed to time-shift broadcast TV, and I am allowed to space-shift broadcast TV. I can rent an antenna, and I can rent a VCR (PVR).
I cannot retransmit (time or space shifted or not) a broadcast to other parties (which is the difference here CATV rebroadcast to all CATV clients).
Now I have to read the arguments! About the only thing left is having an agent do the time or space shifting for me! And, of course, I can't really figure out is why the AGENT is in court for this. If my neighbour asks me to rent her some roofspace and rent her an antenna AND a VCR and then asks me to record a TV show... for which I may charge a bit for the service. And the TV network comes after someone, why would that be me? I would be inclined to laugh.
I think my lawyer would have a good laugh too. We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram.
I guess I am not allowed to sell my labour freely in the USA. Now I REALLY have to follow this. I am personally guilty of renting antennas, and PVR (equivalent) to provide people with recordings. I never pressed a "record" button -- my customer went on-line to a web page and selected the recording themselves (using MythTV 10 years ago). I would deliver the recorded program(s) via disk drives or flash drives.
After all, if I have multiple tuners and I am not using them all, why CAN'T I RENT THEM OUT.
The only problem would have been an event like the "Superbowl" where I would have needed to have ALL my tuners capturing the same content. Instead of being efficient, you know, and sharing... Because WHERE the bits come from is important in Copyright law. See http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry...
As long as Aereo uses an antenna and receiver PER USER, the bits should be the right colour. And subject to the users rights. Including time and space shifting. Aereo wouldn't be rebroadcasting. IF Aereo IS IN THE WRONG then the question is why. As far as I can tell, they are not even being an agent for the user. They are simply renting an antenna and receiver. The actual Copyright material is NOT being shared, from Aereo's perspective. And yes, cloud storage would be at risk. For example, I quite enjoy using Kobo. I may purchase a book from Kobo WHICH IS Copyrighted. Of course. I then download to my reading device. The bits have the right colour at Kobo's end, and they have the right colour at my end. I should be able to do with those bits ANYTHING that Copyright law permits me to. And I do. There is no DRM in OTA broadcast, and typically there is DRM in Kobo electronic books. If *I* turn around and share the book, Kobo wouldn't be legally liable. The author would come after me for that. So why is Aereo being attacked here?
If the bits are simply coloured "copyrighted" and it IS authorized to the user, what else should Aereo do? Simply, Kobo is selling access to authorized bits as well, and would be AT THE SAME RISK. And, it goes deeper. Since Copyright is automatically assigned on creation, you would have NO IDEA what is ok to look at, here or touch.
Yes, I am in violent agreement with you. I think that this is such an important point that I wanted to (re) emphasize it. You know the drill: tell them what you're going to tell them; tell them; tell them what you've told them...

"Acer Aspire One can't do ... compositing".
Um, yes it can.. It can also do 3D -- most of the Aspire Ones, anyway... The line started with the Intel 945GSE Express. Later, some used ATI Radeon 4225.
The AAO D270 has an Atom N2600 (or N2800)- with Intel GMA 3600/3650 (PowerVR SGX 545), and that one doesn't do Linux 3D.

From the post I replied to:
"If you want the Linux eco-system to be accepted start by getting rid of Stallman..."
Stallman doesn't have much to do with Linux anymore. Yes, Redhat had a lot to do with egcs, and gcc is the primary compiler.
But my reply still stands.
I think the post I was replying to was... um... lacking critical arguments.
Interesting. It doesn't compare, because it has not been released yet...

First, what does Stallman have to do with Linux?
Second, what (damned) drivers do you think need writing?
Thirdly, what laptop required 5 hours of "Googling" to get sound work?
Fourthly, what alternative to systemd would you like to see?
What was your point?

Just something to think about.
What is an "illegal download", allo? That would be child porn, and "hate speech" in my jurisdiction.

3 MFLOPS and up to 10 million instructions per second, 60 bit word size, 262144 words of main memory (~3 million 6 bit characters) -- yes, your smartphone is more powerful. This was STILL the most powerful mainframe in 1969.
The init system launches the X server. I guess because /etc/inittab has instructions on setting "targets" for systemd.
What "sneak"?
Electric drive systems are usually rated by power (in Watts). The motor is usually 90% efficient.
Common power limits in various jurisdictions are 250W, 500W and 1000W.
For your reference, 500W is around 1/2 horsepower (0.68). That is enough to propel a rider at 20mph. However, getting to that speed costs power.
Yes, most ebikes are made in China. At the end of 2013, an estimated 181 million ebikes were on in use in China, with sales of 37 million units.
