I was thinking this too. Just have a "virtual tablet" which contains the app or apps. It would possibly even act as a promotion for the actual tablet. It could actually even be quite cool (not that I am ever going to buy a windows phone/tablet)
Arguably corporations already have this data so all you need to do is have a law that mandates a retention policy. I still don't like it but it's definitely an improvement (of miniscule proportions)
More evident? Don't get me wrong, they could well be but historically, I don't think abuses of power have ever been more evident than under the current administration. Handbaskets come to mind.
Clearly has to be a machine code timing loop. Pick the CPU of your choice but
LOAD register, x DEC register JUMPIFNOTZERO -1 (or -2 or other value depending how things are wired).
Some processors will combine the DEC and JUMP commands, some will perform the loop as a jump over a hard-goto if the test *is* zero but doing nothing for a fixed amount of time is needed on all but fancy-pants CPUs with their multitasking and stuff.
Many airplanes already have phones built into the seat you can swipe a credit card in to make calls. With this in mind, on what basis do you propose that they ban the use of cell phones.
(Not that I'm an advocate, just pointing out a flaw in the logic).
OTOH, one of the nice things about VLC is the lack of plugins. At least I've never had to hunt them down. I'm not sure some of the older avi codecs can even be installed (if you can even find them) on modern Windows.
Slashdot Mirror
at the end of 1984 it was shown everything was under surveilance as well, to a further degree than they imagined.
Wait, I though you were saying that we shouldn't assume we already passed it.
The federal government would get involved if they felt like it

Nostalgia comments aren't as good as they used to be.
Just under Washington DC.
First they came for...
I'm looking to exit Android because it's only a matter of time before you have to have a G+ account to use it.
I'm also looking to exit Voice for the same reason. Anyone know any good alternatives?
There ain't no such thing as a free Linux?
But now it's ironic.
And Google.

They just need to Photoshop out the curved part of the P
Tell me, when you are out with your knives and haven't been arrested for carrying them, did you have them out, waving them at people?
It's not just the NSA. IRS has also shown up on the abuse radar recently.

"If you like your unconstitutional spy agency, you can keep it"
I think that's the one promise he could actually keep.
I have a few but not in a hurry to get them working. If I ever am, I'll probably just fire up a 32 bit virtual machine and transcode the videos.

Maybe. But once calls are allowed, it's possible that the carriers would rejig their towers to catch them (or add extra towers to do so).
This is the government. They hired a subcontractor to write an application to count them. It was to within two significant figures by version 3.0.

So much straw...

In what way did they have a monopoly? Genuinely interested.
Or y'know, just come out with more efficient bulbs that actually have attributes that people want.
