Why god, why, does the sensor have to be buried in rubber and resin so your investment wears out with the soles of your $200 shoes (euros hurt). Oh wait... I just answered my question to god.:)
Whatever they change, they will never remove my biggest problem with DRM: I will never pay for anything that has a habit of disappearing when they turn off their DRM server.
If we let ISP's vilify a minority as an excuse for their aging copper-wire infrastructure, instead of forcing them to upgrade it to European/Asian standards, then their greed with stifle and choke the last growth market the USA has: intellectual property.
Good luck selling your movies and music online if downloading is strictly rationed.
I was starting to wonder what could be cobbled together from all the, perfectly functional, yet slightly outdated/unwanted parts that must be floating around warehouses in Asia.
My EEE PC serves me perfectly well. It's really an eye-opener how much you can do with systems that appear "limited" at first glance.
Personally I'd have a another close look at my simulation before passing judgment over all the stars in the universe and concluding that we're "special".
It's not particularly difficult to make video cross-platform compatible. Unless you outsource your web development to the lowest bidder and indirectly to incompetent developers.
Why aren't they held to the section 508 rules for accessibility?
It's your managers responsibility, not yours. He can do whatever he wants with your idea, because he paid you for it. You might consider working for an employer that is less corrupt.
It took "innovations" like Firefox to finally get the monolithic Microsoft of its collective ass and FINALY update their aging browser after letting it hold back the internet for about half a decade.
Microsoft many years ago, bet that the trend of increasing complexity, speed and size would continue exponentially. They did not foresee that the current trend is to make things more compact and specialized.
If you have nothing to hide, then surely you don't mind giving up your privacy to government agencies and private corporations with whom you have not trust-relationship whatsoever.
As a European who keeps up with politics I am shocked to read about this, massive sell-out of my privacy, here first. As far as I know, there has not even been a debate about this!
Since using soft-drugs and downloading music is legal here, I can only imagine what would happen to tourists who visit the USA lured by the favourable dollar only to end up jailed in no-man's land for breaking US laws retroactively from Europe.
- Scientists noticed that species adapt to their environment.
- Religious people noticed life was pretty complicated and concluded that god must have done it.
And you think these two things are equal? I assume you are of unshakable faith, so even debating this is an exercise in futility.
Because blind faith from a holy book does NOT lead to rational thinking. Faith is not science. You cannot "argue" faith. You can only "have" faith. Any conclusion from faith will be "God did it, because our book says so.". This is extremely dangerous reasoning.
If the future of the US economy is to be based on intellectual property, then is doesn't bode well to teach the next generation to believe in fairy-tales. It's easy to sell science to the rest of the world, because it is of practical use. It's impossible to sell your faith to a world which already has plenty of bullshit superstitions.

If someone calls you a witch there, you get lynched... I'd say a brain-scan is at least a step in the right direction.

Those bureaucrats are quite obviously too incompetent to protect us against "terrorism". Who's going to protect us against the bureaucrats?
This is all fine and dandy, but I'd much rather have a pizza over powered by solar cells. =)
So what this gentleman is proposing is that we scrap client-side functionality and go back to dumb terminals?

I don't think Fox news is particularly "fair and balanced", why don't they start with that before planning to censor the internet again.
Why is the range so important if you have to tether the darn thing to actually steer it places?
They should feel right at home in that police state. They might even take that experience back home to have Americans prosecuted like dissidents.
Instead of trying to save the arctic they are fighting over the oil underneath it, even before the ice has melted.

Seriously. Never make a troll's monologue a dialogue. It's your site, so use your ban-hammer. You will never convince them with words anyway.

"Re-use" here means shipping it off to a third world country and dumping it there for three euros and a banana.
Leaders maybe... But we sure as hell didn't get to vote for any of the European Parliament. They're not democratically elected.
