I'm actually a conservative-leaning person. I can't get enough of The Colbert Report. It sure is a lot of fun. And the bias is so obvious that you can see through it, which makes it good journalism to an extent. The show even manages to cover both sides of an issue in the process a lot of times.
Great - jam the GPS on your own cell phone and get in a near-fatal accident. Or worse, pull over to help someone in said situation, and you keep them from being able to get 911 to respond quickly to their location.
Or maybe they should just require you to be rescued if the helicopters are called out. No, you can't stay after you're told you asked something stupid, they must pick you up and take you out of the park.

But even that uninstall tool won't get 100% of it removed.
There's a reason for that. You're overloading operators. Parentheses already have a meaning in algebra. No point confusing it by giving them a double meaning. A square box is at least a distinct symbol.
A lousy computer chip manufacturer if it only uses unsigned ints. I guess that's how they balance the budget in the U.S. Department of Defense. As long as the computer can't see negative numbers, they don't exist!
Would be hilarious if an actual future concert attendee shows up in court to defend themselves against a crime they don't intend to commit. They must somehow be counting on summary judgment against nobody for a not-yet-committed crime.
And it's not like they're likely to have even modified BusyBox, and so they really were just lazy - not protecting company secrets that should have been open-sourced.
I was responding to a rant that webmail is superior because of being so mobile, but partly because ISP email users change their address every year when they switch providers.
I'm saying nothing of the services of any one ISP, but that nobody has to use ISP email if they're not using a major webmail service.
IMAP is the way to go. You can have your webmail client wherever you go. But at home, the performance of a desktop client is better. Read/unread status is propagated, and any labels and flags are as well. Gmail supports this fairly well.
Users of ISP email is a strawman that has no place in this discussion.
Even with two decimal places of precision, you'll have a hard time convincing me that "close to 100.00 emails" is a lot.

Yeah. And it would have been useful if they provided a reference client. They're the only ones that had the time and interest to pull that off, and they were too busy creating the "Gmail" version. Where's the "Thunderbird" version?

Google is being entrepreneurial on a massive scale. If something doesn't work out that doesn't make them a failure. They're the only ones taking these kinds of risks. And a massive risk needs a good exit strategy.

Not as easy as a simple collaborative rich-text document editor. There were too many features, too many widgets you could insert, and an extremely cluttered interface. There's still not a good collaborative editor out there, though. Hopefully some of their best wave code and algorithms will make it into Google Docs.

It was the Japanese toilet of chat rooms. Too many buttons, too many useless features.
I never understood why they didn't allow full federation with other wave servers during the invite period. They released a GPL server implementation and there wasn't much you could do with it. If it wasn't developers they were trying to get on board, who was it?
The reality is, the protocol seemed a lot more useful than their client. I was honestly looking forward to the possibility of someone creating a good fast desktop client that would run directly on the protocol (for non-gwave.com users).
Well, what did you expect to happen when you call it "Wave" after the tech in Firefly, and make all kinds of obscure references? You get the same fate, that's what.
Except if you're not the best and fastest, you're doing more to inflate your competitors share prices than you are increasing your own profits. They're skimming off of you more than they are the slow, traditional traders. So halfway decent doesn't really mean much. You literally have to be an expert to work on these algorithms, and by that point you might as well run your own company, which is what the people in the article are doing now.
Without too many distinctions, I can say that lower middle class lives a comfortable lifestyle, and upper middle class has the same lifestyle plus the ability to have retirement savings and emergency cash.

Ever heard of waiting for Vertical Sync? Yeah, most video cards do that now, and MythTV and XBMC both support it too. Look for an option called Vsync.
That would be an MPEG-2 transport stream with AC-3 audio.
Why's this a troll? Occam's razor is not law around here.

I sure think it's stupid to use () to mean a variable, too. I read it as:
4+3+2=( )+2
9 = () + 2
9 = 2
FAIL!!!

100 times as much:
