On U.S. Naval installations, the only way to talk on your cellphone is if it has a bluetooth link to your car stereo. Traditional hands-free devices are not allowed. Anything else is a violation of federal law.
Don't patronize me. Home defense is about as bad a place for collateral damage as any I can think of. The military is a completely different situation, and safety is a considerably different issue there.
He's not patronizing. Who do you think we're supposed to be defending ourselves from? Can we adequately defend ourselves from the government, if we are not authorized to hold the same level of weaponry?
The easiest and fastest way to make the "free market" work better for the poor is the termination of the wealthiest 1% of the population every year. Auto-termination is a perfectly valid substitute.
Why do I get the feeling I was just added to some government watch list?
Spaces in OSX are incredibly useful if you're running Windows full screen in a VM. It makes toggling back and forth between the Mac and Windows desktops near-instantaneous.
aha, that's awesome, never would have thought of that. Most likely due to the fact that I do the exact opposite. I use VMware's unity (parallels fusion) to merge multiple desktops into one. Now that's a feature I find extremely useful.
But don't try to tell the rest of us that it isn't useful. Many of us find it to be very beneficial.
Hey, how come you get an opinion and I don't? Of the 20 or so geek friends I have, one uses multi-desktop on a regular basis, and he only does it to hide stuff from his boss.
As for when KDE and Gnome got it (which is what I was referring to when I said "most linux distros"), I actually don't know the real timeline, so you are quite possibly right there. I just remember around the same time as XP came out reloading a red hat box and finding that as a new feature.
Yes, yes it can. Explorer is the one asking the kernel to do all those DRM checks. Replace explorer, and viola, no 20 minute queues to copy a 1k text file.
There's been one in the FREE powertoys that microsoft puts out for ages... maybe since win2k... As long as most linux distros have had it, so has M$. That said, it's as useless in windows as it is in linux, and every bit as useless in osx.
"So what you're saying is that bullying is OK - that the larger party deserves concessions, and can do whatever the hell they want just because they're larger, and that this is perfectly acceptable."
That, right there, is damn near the DEFINITION of a free market.
If you think WoW is better than making babies then you clearly need to get out more.
My wife is willing to engage in recreational procreation for a MAXIMUM of one hour a day, three weeks a month (no, I've never actually achieved the theoretical maximum monthly score... but I sure as hell try).
That still leaves another 323 hours a month, assuming 6 hours of sleep a day and an 8 hour job.
I think you need a lesson in etymology yourself. Go look up the history of those words you gave as examples. You may find each and every one has hundreds of years of history to it, and every usage of the words came from common usage, and they are all different from the current technology word.
And why aren't you rallying against the common ignorant usage of the word spam?
That phrase is a latin translation, and before it was translated from latin it never meant anything in this language. How ironic (and frankly, moronic) that you didn't know that, but tried to call me out on it.
No, I don't care if some website says the etymology of that phrase is in some fashion contrary to it's current modern day usage. The mere fact of the matter is that language evolves, and so did that phrase. People look like idiots for suggesting that the phrase was used incorrectly, as that is NOT the accepted definition.
Quit modding that wrongful correction as insightful. That statement, and its "Insightful" modding is a very good indication that the poster, nor the modder has any insight on the fluidity of language./soapbox
And yet... EMI is still the only label offering content in iTunes+. That's the DRM free side of iTunes, btw.
So it doesn't look like RIAA is going to go away, its just likely to lose 25% of its membership body. Well, even less than that, since EMI doesn't actually possess 25% market share.
EMI has been going against its brethren for a while now. Let us hope they don't fail...
If you take the price that corn sold for in the 1970s and adjusted for inflation, corn should be selling for above $10/bushel today. The prices of corn and other commodities have been kept low for years because there are more voters who eat food than there are who grow food.
The corn is cheap ONLY due to the heavy subsidies provided by the extensive efforts of a very powerful lobby.
16% seems pretty good to me given the utter dominance of Microsoft in the corporate world. I wouldn't categorise (sic) 1 in 6 business users as struggling. If anything, it seems far higher than I would have expected.
Hell ya, I'd say 1 in 6 business(es| users) is an indication that it is NOT struggling, and indeed making great headway!
Also, WSUS (or whatever its called now) has long had the ability to support other update streams than M$'s own, but M$ keeps the functionality turned off, and won't tell anyone else how to make such a stream. This really is very important to other companies being able to provide the best possible support to their enterprise customers, but of course, M$ is too afraid of losing marketshare to allow other companies to provide better support to their enterprise customers.

Change that to car alarms, and you've got my vote!

Very well said.

That is PRECISELY how Bill Gates got knighted.

Your post doesn't make any sense at all. None of it. But thanks for playing.

No, it begs the question.

That was a most excellent diatribe, thanks for that.

Yes, but you wont get the same profitable yeilds without heavy fertilization.
