This is not a problem caused by Amazon.. it's a problem with the outdated tax laws in the US
If you buy a song from iTunes do you pay sales tax or use tax on it ? It has not physically moved, it was purchased from a website, hosted in one place, downloaded from a website hosted elsewhere, bought from a company with presence in various states and who has headquarters in another, who do you owe tax to ?..or perhaps you could wake up to the fact that you are one country and have uniform tax laws...?
Android was designed as a smartphone OS - It is very specifically not designed to work on large screens, and is very specifically designed to work well on small ones...
So it not having a nice friendly interface on a tablet is not surprising at all...
The advantage Apple has is that iOS is a scaled down full desktop OS designed for a mini-tablet that is also a phone, not an OS re-designed for a phone that has been scaled up to use on a tablet...
The two most effective things that have been done for airport security
1) Locked door to the cockpit, so any terrorist has no access and cannot hijack the plane
2) Bomb-proof luggage compartments, so any bomb they do manage to sneak on board is ineffective
Both of which do not affect the passengers at all....
The last problem is a suicide bomber on board who tries to blow up the plane, or kill the passengers - an air marshal will not be able to stop this...in fact almost all the security theatre at airports does little to stop this...it just makes it more difficult
US company sues Taiwanese company over software patents that do not apply outside the USA ?
These are not specific to Android or ChromeOS ("Linux") but apply to any mobile OS - e.g. the same ones were used against Motorola
When are companies going to produce a US model and a non-US model and charge the software patent for only the US model to show how much all this is costing...
Depends what you mean by Desktop Linux - If you mean at home or on your own PC then it isn't...
If you mean (as I think they mean) on the Business desktop - Then normally 2 people in each company make the choice and they choose the simpler option which is what they have already and they know works (for certain values of 'works') - the vast majority of people in business never have an option...
The calculus in Principia is as you say is Geometrical, this is not as he originally formed it, in other papers he used it in the form he originally formulated it...
The diagrams are the standard simple geometrical diagrams as used at the time
He was writing for the educated man, not the common people, the only common language they had was Latin, English was not widespread...
Galileo was writing for the common man of italy and so wrote in their language
The maxim of security is that if you have physical access to the hardware then all security is pointless
This is why you are always kept one (or more) steps away from the actual hardware in secure systems
If you can secure clean boot the system then you have physical access and you can manually verify the system so this is unnecessary, if you can't then it is not reliable
Since this relies of flaws in the silicon - it is surely really easy to accidentally change the error profile of a device so it is no longer recognised...
This is the flaw in facial recognition as well, to make it so that it does not report false negatives it is easier to fool as well
Can I remake this video with the names changed around....It makes more sense that way
Familiar Interface : Yes OOO has that.. Office 2010 does not Malformatted documents : Yes OOO to 2010 does that, whereas 2010 to OOO does not Interoperability : OOO loads more formats the Office 2010 Expensive support : a) what support is needed for either, b) both seem equally expensive to me etc...
He wrote the Principia in geometrical terms mostly without diagrams for the same reason he wrote it in Latin
That's how people wrote and read science in those days, he actually worked most of it out using calculus (which he invented for that purpose) and then rewrote it in geometrical terms in Latin so other people could understand it
Just because someone gives good advice that works, it does not mean they believe some weird reason why, and it does not mean they will also give you very bad advice....
The MD after someone's name is not just a title, it means they have studied what works and know how to apply it, and they are accountable if they mess up, and so you can be confident that barring human error will give you good medical advice...
A chiropractor has none of this...they will probably mostly give you non-dangerous advice simply because they care and want you to recommend them....but I would not trust them myself
They usually will live in one extended family in one place for hundreds of years... and once established will put up with people and their buildings etc..
So I suspect the Badgers have been there longer than people...
Slashdot Mirror
Stephen Fry and Douglas Adams were great friends and one of them was the second to own an Apple Mac in the UK ....
Both were/are very knowledgeable about most techie things, especially Apple related (they are biased towards all things Apple...)

Android is a mobile phone OS that runs partly on Linux, partly on Dalvik (Java)
Linux works fine on Tablets - Android does not ...
Music Copyright - Rich global companies making huge profits off other people work, some long dead
This - Running a (very small) company based largely on other peoples work
No don't see any comparison here ...

If you have this display nearer to your eye then you normally hold an iPhone4 then yes you might be able to see the difference, otherwise you can't
So this might be for display glasses for virtual reality?
the iPhone is around the maximum people can see at handheld device distance
Very good quality monitors need to be >300dpi to be about this limit
Most people view Normal TV on a small screen several feet away and unless they buy a big screen TV they cannot see the difference
Even HDTV is relatively low res on a big screen TV .... unless you sit back from it ....
Well pay some taxes in this country and we'll see .... we could do with the money
Your new "traditional" (i.e. Real) might also have spotted this and cured you
A chiropractor can be effective, and can be harmless but you have no guarantee, they could do you harm and you have no comeback except to sue them...
A proper doctor can be obnoxious, ineffective and miss things (they are human) you did the right thing in changing your doctor
Bad summary ....(Surprise)
Always on/Suspend mode already covers this and this has nothing to do with Spin/Quantum computing
Non-volatile logic could be built now with conventional electronics (it would be slower in use so it isn't)
This is not the major advantage of quantum computing .....and don't hold your breath the lead time on this is more than indicated here ...

Sharepoint ....what exactly is this doing on a small business server ?
Not multisite - And why are clients trying to integrate with a companies sharepoint server...?
It's just providing webservices and acting as a document repository ..... this can be done much better with other systems ..?

OOO opens All MS-Office documents - in my experience correctly, even corrupt ones that MS-Office won't open
MS-Office cannot always correctly open documents formatted by older version of MS-Office....
So rather than 10 crashes because people fell asleep...
We have 20 crashes because rather than stopping for a coffee and a rest people relied on this and crashed when the alarm went off ...
If you are driving tired you are an accident waiting to happen .. falling asleep is just the worst case

Another solution looking for a problem ....
Can this be emulated - Yes
Since this relies of flaws in the silicon - it is surely really easy to accidentally change the error profile of a device so it is no longer recognised ...
This is the flaw in facial recognition as well, to make it so that it does not report false negatives it is easier to fool as well
It's simple hardened cockpit and instructions to not open the door, ever...and any hijacker is powerless
Not a United 93 ... the plane would land safely ...

They knew of many elements, many of which they had identified as basic (a few they got wrong) but they had no system to put them in ....
The Periodic Table was the first system that worked and made predictions (Missing elements)
