Don't think so. The Bible is very much filled with elitist protection clauses and teachings (the Israelites were led out of Egypt by a contender for kingship--Thutmose). Jesus, most likely hanging with the Iscari (bible time terrorists opposed to roman rule) telling people to pay Caesar taxes? I don't buy it. To my interpretation there is no basis for a hell fire doctrine in the Bible. It was the interpretation of the church which successfully twisted the writings to promote control of the masses by an elite cadre.
Sophisticated investors have ways of finding this sort of thing out.
No need for all this sophistication, the WSJ called the L&H "clients" and found that L&H had no business with them. Therefore, they placed a phone call and found that L&H was lying about revenue. Could Dragon have called them? Yes, but they were paying Golman to do it for them. I think all that is left is to rule on the law, the facts look pretty clear.
Come for the stories, stay for the pedantry. You guys are confusing me. Distributing someone else's work without their permission is wrong. There, 11 words. No matter how much you feel separated from them it is still wrong. It is just that MOST people are not content creators and therefore have no understanding or common ground from which to base their judgments. Our awesome system still serves to protect the minority from the majority who wishes to vote themselves access to another's work. Damn, that argument doesn't hold water does it? Crap! Well, just because we have an out of control welfare state doesn't mean we should start letting people pilfer movies and music too.
Uh....the geeks are the ones who maintain the pages. Heaven help us all if non-geeks start editing Wikipedia. I saw an example of this once where someone edited an article on a saint declaring that he was a "pussy." I was cracking up in class, but this is what you get when non-geeks start feeling like Wikipedia is accessible.
No they will not. They will ask their tech support/tech friend who will tell them to download Firefox or Chrome. They will download it in 1 minute and be on their way.
Wrong. It is not a problem with open standards it is a problem with IE9 not being configured properly. Hardly anyone in IT these days knows anything about IE browsers. They are basically ignored. Default config for IE9 doesn't render a lot of sites properly. Hell, I've had numerous problems using it on Microsoft's site! The built in backward compatibility so you didn't have to languish with shitty old browsers.
Yeah, if they're using IE6 they'll get malware and be shutdown by a drive-by before even getting to your site, so nothing really lost there. IE 7 and 8 will be dead quicker than you think.
Dude, your internet connection is worse than mine. Don blame the cloud for your shit connection. I've been using shitty squirrel mail forever and it works fine--although it is clunky. I have all my mail no matter what device I'm on. I can see that if you never leave your mom's basement a desktop client would be peachy.
Thank you AC with nothing valuable to add. Had you provided an insightful comment maybe then AC would have been a sensible choice. But since nothing of value was added you are obviously trying to hide for reasons other than to protect your personal privacy. Your post gave me that feeling I get when I see an old laptop that has covers missing and has been stripped of its hard-drive and RAM.
Just freakin use Google for shit's sake. This crap is really going too far. On/. people act like Google is up their ass, when in fact they keep little relevant personal data. Besides, who gives a rat's ass what data they have. They only have what you give them!
The Dig/Bury model favours quick, cheap laughs at the expense of thoughtful debate.
I find that if something on reddit takes me longer than ten seconds to digest I just click away. This is not my normal mode of operation btw, but the nature of the site leads me to this behavior.
I used it for the first time two days ago and thought, "this is worse than reddit," of which I'm a new user as well. I checked them out because/. is dying. Also breezed through 4chan for once, what a shit hole. Since then I've been looking for a decent community that aggregates real news. No luck. Thinking of building my own. Nonetheless, we are certainly at an impasse.
You don't need it. I've been using Windows 8 for less than a day and I do not miss the cluttered start menu--I've been using windows for 20 years. I use the Toolbar Address option to quick search on the desktop and it launches everything I need instantly. The new tiles interface is just a cleaner copy of the best android interfaces and it is welcome. Regular users are going to eat this up. I supplied my social network and Exchange accounts and it integrated all of them cleanly into the interface. It took me less time to learn the Windows 8 interface than it did to get comfortable with Windows7! From all of the/. comment as of late I thought for sure I was going to hate windows8, but there is nothing to hate. A cleaner, well designed interface for windows. I bought a Xoom with Android 3 some time ago and fell in love with the easy to use, clean interface and multitasking, Microsoft just took the best from that. After using the Xoom I knew I wanted the same interface on a desktop and it materialized. Best interface available, good stuff.
and his reason for switching " they have the best commercial desktop OS, and I really liked the idea of a good commercial Unix OS." So, obviousness he not anywhere near a representation of the market.
I know a government organization that dumped all of their three year old Dells (they're in the basement) and filled the entire office with new Macs. The iPad frenzy set this off, and someone with the power to buy all this shit got the Apple bug and now everyone is carrying iPads and working on iMacs. For no reason other than they wanted them--trendy. They cost the tax payers more, it costs more to support them, and the replacement cycle is probably going to be shorter. Straight up consumerist infection of government.
Just shows you how important it is. We try to make it out like this Higgs whatchyamacallit is a big deal when really it is not. If it were anything of substance then it would be easy to explain, everyone would get it, and the utopia of the damn god particle would set in. But as it stands, none of this happened.

Dude, that is a solid article, I don't care WHO wrote it.

The posts on /. are starting to look like the headlines on rense.com
Uh...I think his suggestion is easier to maintain. Let's see, change in one place or two hundred? Gotta think about this.....

No kidding.....I cam in to post, "Who's writing this shit?" Anonymous Reader my ass. This is garbage. The whole post is garbage.
That is way too much work.
Where do I apply for one of these Attaché jobs? Sounds like fun!

Your quote is spot on:

Please point to the great content because I think I'm doing it wrong.
