But what exactly about them shows a "lack of compassion"? Because they'd ban animal testing? That's not a choice I'd agree with, but it has legitimate moral arguments.
How about assaulting people over their choice of clothing? Controlling something through fear... oh yeah, it's a terrorist organization. Wow... compassion what?
You NEVER own anything in a socialist state. That's why you get these whacked out rulings in countries like this, they have no real sense of ownership.
Who are you to say I can't sell something I bought on a public market? I don't recall agreeing to that when buying my overpriced coach crap. I own it, I can do what I want with it.
An American capitalist society is not compatible with a socialist mess like France. We should unplug them from OUR internet and let them enjoy their perfume and surrendering.
Sun contributed 312 million Euro's worth of FOSS which amounts to over 51000 person months. This was 44% of all corporate contributions to FOSS. That's why I bought 50 shares of "JAVA". It's 10$ and it's a good company overall.
Pushing nuclear energy has relatively very little do with our dependence on gasoline via crude oil. You are ignorant. It is OK, I'll explain why.
It's all energy demand. Oil is just energy. If you increase the supply of energy using nuclear options you decrease the Oil costs. The market will adjust and people will switch to the cheaper forms of energy. Some people will use electric cars, they will switch to electric heat which will decrease diesel demand.
Decreased diesel demand = lower COST OF GOODS since out distributions systems in the USA all use diesel. Gas will also go down in cost since the demand will be lower as Gas is a more refined version of diesel.
Not only will fuel costs go down but the cost of goods will go down for ALL Americans. This solution helps the poor a LOT since they are most challenged by the cost of living.
100% agree There hasn't been a true to form communist government yet. They're all dictatorships claiming to be communist to keep the stupid people happy.
Great Idea in theory, "lets block all this bad stuff", OK now please define the rules...
Government: It has to block child porn. Me: OK, how do we define child porn? Government: An adult and a child in sexual acts. Me: Right, how do we flag that to block it? Government: *frusterated* You block it! Me: We need to define a process or this won't work. Government: We'll make a list then. Me: So your going to scour the internets for child Porn and add it to this list. Nothing automatic? Government: Yes Me: So what venues will you block, HTTP, SSH, FTP, Torrent, MQ, Skype? Government: All of those things. Me: You can't decrypt HTTPS or SSH traffic, how do you know it's child porn? Government: Because we know those servers have porn since some guy flagged it. Me: You've heard of dynamic IP's right? Government: *MAD* DO WHAT WE SAY OR WE KILL THE BUNNY. Me: Um.... do it.
With Javascript running for longer periods of time, a runtime-optimizing JIT seems to make a lot of sense. So does doing nothing, in light of the fact you'll soon have quad and octal core notebooks.
I've never had javascript degrade by web experience in Firefox running on proper hardware (dual core 2 year old junk).
Seems like a lot of effort to keep old junk viable.
Because people don't store random garbage on their drives. "Oh yeah, that's just a 50GB bitmap file that got corrupted and I never bothered deleting it". Come on. That's why you need multiple true crypt volumes with small sizes.
Or, how about a big pagefile.sys on c:\ while the real one is on D?:-)
Why in the holy fuck would you ever turn on automatic updates on a production server?
Don't you have a test enviroment? We have a server administration team that will roll out 0 day exploit patches to production servers. We use tivoli and our own MS patching server(SMS) to control these updates and packages.
I have 2 test environment for all of my systems, a test and a qual environment.
Perhaps it's out server admin team who is to blame for this. All I know is that my windows applications are a PIA.
You ARE aware that you just pissed off everyone in France, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Spain... and let me not start about the eastern half of Europe which has some really funny specks and dots above, below and inside letters as well. GWB pissed all of these countries off already by going into Iraq. What's a little more anger from the old AXIS of evil really going to do anyways?:-)
I run 2 applications for a major retailer. One runs on AIX (and has some linux nodes), the other runs on MS Server 2003.
I've never been paged at 4AM because my Linux/AIX boxes rebooted in the middle of a major data aggregation job because of an automatic update.
In fact my AIX / linux boxes all have uptimes of over 700 days, except one of my new servers which has been up 200 days.
The windows server is relatively stable, besides the occasional freeze up(like 2-3 times a year it hardlocks). The real PIA is the updates rebooting them all the time.
I was thinking back to when I used HP's UMPC 2133 which has a similar resolution (iirc). It was running vista, and no matter how much I tweaked it, it was practically unreadable. Why HP would choose to run XP on a low end slower than death VIA chip is beyond me.
The ASUS eeePC is currently selling like hotcakes, and the price range is currently in the neighborhood of 400-500$. Your argument has been around for quite a while ("I can get a full featured laptop for the same money"). The problem is this laptop isn't a regular laptop, but a new category of devices. Something you can carry easily, light, and robust. Dell isn't foolish, after the success of the eeePC, the HP mini-note and new devices coming from MSI, they want to make sure of their presence in that growing market. I Concur, I just bought a 20g for $550 because it's small and BADASS. I'm replacing my cellphone with it and data card + vonage IP phone. Why both with a smell phone anymore?

"Hippies with money" is an oxymoron.
Really? I'm pretty sure I went to college with a number of Hippies with HUGE trust funds.
The all powerful hippie lobby. Yes, it is all powerful.
It's expensive to be a hippy, you need a trust fund and a MAC.
Because Big Oil doesn't like Big Sun.
Hippies with money don't care about the poor trying to get by with high heating oil/energy costs.
They only care about some rare breed of bird that's almost extinct since it likes to eat plastic bags.
I find the lack of humanity in PETA and other hippie groups appalling.
So consumer prices of products requiring the use of these elements are getting pushed up from multiple directions.
Look to the past for the simple answers.
Use nuclear power and slaves.
My verizon contract is up this month, forget renewing. Forget it all, I'm going 50$ a month wifi card, EEEPC and Skype. They can keep their minutes.
I agree, scaremongering to the max.
How about the simplest solution... open more fricken mines. Problem solved. The hippies closed all the strip mines, we'll just need more -- who cares?

I for one, WILL buy these. Then I can read them on my EEEPC, my cell phone, whatever.
I didn't buy music until I could buy Mp3s off Amazon. Now I buy 2-5 albums a month.
I don't buy ebooks since they are such a PIA. Now I WILL be able to buy.
Good move!
I scored a 1280 on my SAT's and had to pay more to go to college than students who scored 900's because I'm not a minority.
Where is the justice? Same effect.

Looks like I paid top dollar for old tech.
All well, it still looks cool.

That file needs to be hidden in plain sight.

SNES had metal marines, way better :-)
