The problem with 'the cloud' is that no two experts can agree on what 'the cloud' is. Its abuse is natural in the any sphere especially in advertisement.
Jabberwocky (exageration) anyone? (Better off Ted)
You guys are dead wrong. For mujahideen it is about Islam. My friend told me about the 400 or so mujahideen who came to the Bosniak's aid during the Bosnian War. With them they brought radical teachings, however the Bosnians were keen on keeping them under control and in check. They did a good job. Serbs had over 4000 mercenaries, some paid from Russia, Ukraine, Greece, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_of_foreign_fighters_in_the_Bosnian_War#For_the_Serbs
There is video footage of these foreign mercenaries being blessed by high ranked orthodox clergy before massacring Muslim men and boys while raping the women. For these people it is about religion.
Chechnyans are clearly not as diligent in keeping these forces in check.
I'm sure had they the luxury and the capability they'd choose to bomb without hurting themselves. If you don't realize by now that it's a Judeo-Christian dominated world we live in, you need to wake up. These are acts of desperation that also happen in plenty Muslim countries such as Turkey, Egypt, Iran, etc

The question you should ponder: What drives these idiots to feel so helpless that they blow themselves up?
I've been thinking about this very same task for the past month. When formulating wild imaginative ideas in my head, I can't help but run into the physical threat: being targeted as a criminal by plutocratic law for using something 'they' can't control.
When you dumb down any shit, you need such primitive dualities so that people feel like they matter by declaring their affinity for one team while loathing the other.
Satan vs God, Hell vs Heaven, Poor vs Rich, hetero vs homo, 1 vs 0 (for the binary geeks out there:))
Although some dualities exist naturally, most things are continua. I believe that it is impossible to have a constructive argument until all parties realize this.
I agree with Never. Netflix is irrelevant in this case.
From an economic point of view, bandwidth is a limited resource.
Bandwidth supply is limited by infrastructure.
There is a clear growing Bandwidth demand.
To combat this demand you either increase supply or you halt/decrease demand.
Take your pick:
ISP bandwidth caps and fees = decreasing demand via economical incentives
or
Gov't increasing bandwidth capacity by improving infrastructure
Gov't involvement and taxation upon its citizens are imminent. I just hope we get what we pay for, a worthy infrastructure that scales to the growing demand.
At a high level, the situation is crystal clear. One thing is for sure, internet will never be "destroyed" by a growing demand.
I disagree with you. Religion objectively is not an identity, however, as part of one's belief it is part of their identity and culture. For many, a high priority if not the highest. Offending one's beliefs is not on par with offending them, let's say, for a pair of crocks. I refuse to prioritize mockery lacking consideration.
I think I lost you by coming across as if it were the criticism/mockery of religion that I found distasteful. To reiterate, be critical of religion by all means, just don't do it in a blatant disrespectful manner.
Your disregard and disrespect towards others' identity is appalling.
It's equally disheartening to see the modding of such ignorant, offensive, useless, reactionary comments being modded as insightful. It's one thing to disagree, but totally another to spew offensive hatred. You want respect, give respect.
And NO; you feeling the same about and offending Christians, Jews, Hindus, Mexicans, atheist doesn't make your point any more valid or forgiving.
It saddens me to see yet another inconsiderate "civilized, freedom loving, progressive" thinker jumping on the hate wagon. Would you offend your family and friends in such ways should they differ from you? I am sorry but as a human (agnostic in nature), I don't see any insight in your comment.
In summary this is a regime change. It's the centurylong elitist rule of the young Turks that inflicted the crimes against the Armenians and the Kurds. I am sorry if this was counter-productive to your aim. However, being a Turkish Kurd who had to flee Turkey, I speak of front row, real observations of the social, economic and political tyranny in that country.
Thanks for laying out our future for us. To folk like you, we are just the alien of the times. As a Turkish Kurd by birth, I've suffered tremendously, because of those who thought they knew what was best for people of Turkey. The army and the minor "secular" elitist persecuted the majority with the 1960, 1971, 1980 and 1997(Albeit a soft one) coups and caged us in an centurylong economical slump and social tyranny. Folk like you aren't exclusive to one race, region, sex, age group or an opinion. You tell stories to inspire reality. As a mercenary, I applaud you; but like a fool I pity you. Equally fertile, your message has an inhumane manifest. I wish you individual happiness, but not at the expense of others' basic human natural rights.
Being caged institutionalizes animals, including human beings. Seeing your father smacked around consistently is psychologically permanently destructive to a child. It is these people who are fighting for freedom; not the "jihadists", not the governments. As an American via adolescence and naturalization, i can attest wholeheartedly to that people of the Middle East including Middle Eastern Jews (not Ashkenazi) do not hate you for your freedom.
Mod parent up.
So true. Best advice I've ever gotten was that "You don't oil a wheel that doesn't squeak"
Know your worth, demand your worth. All the bs corporate jargon about personal career development aside, in truth, there is only one person who cares about your satisfaction and that is you. If you don't speak up, all is well in the eyes of others as it is your production they care for (you are essentially a cost). Don't ever fear doing so. Put all your guilt, sentiment, discomforts aside, this is strictly business. One of the core responsibilities of your manager is listening to you.
Nothing new with this one: Success is not based on merit in the business world. Hard skills will buy you stability, but social skills will get you paid.
Lastly, to the under-rating of the programming profession allegations.
1. There is an abundance of supply (of programmers of most levels)
2. Computer/Internet is ubiquitous
3. Programming skills are essentially is management of one's memory and logic. I'm sure most can recall times when a light bulb went off in your head when a certain knowledge made sense to you. You started thinking of the possibilities (day dreaming) and seeing a clear path to expertise. This is what happens with the non-techies that work with you. They understand a few things, they think it's easy. However, it's the ability to bring closure to programs that makes one a true programmer. Because you can write/understand a conditional clause doesn't mean you can build a program.
4. Lastly, this is evidence that programmers are doing a good job. Making things look easy. Well done.
Very interesting interview, thanks for sharing. Knowing little about Kernel Development Community, Kolivas viewpoint shines light on a variety of short-comings of the community.
I'm with you. I think the competition surrounding Firefox (Microsoft, Google) can also be seen as a positive business leverage. As long as Firefox retains a substantial share of the market by providing a desired browser, they can negotiate revenues and partnerships not only with multinational corporations but also region-specific companies. They are an inter-dealing browser. The important thing for Firefox to never forget is that they are dependent on the competition given their current revenue model.
Lastly, someone posted the ignorance of certain issues by the FF developers. The memory usage and leaks need to be addressed. They are real.
Considering the ridiculous amount of hours the players will spend playing this game, these fictional scenarios are bound to cross boundaries with reality in the minds of avid gamers. Russia has a valid concern.
You bring up a good point. The average costs is around $100 I'm sure, however, it's always advertised as 39.99 or 49.99 or 79.99 plans, but ends up being $10-30 more than stated for fees, taxes and BS like this. To me this is false advertising, I don't care how you legally justify this. If any of you are surprised by these revelations you need to wake up and reevaluate your expectations from such businesses. There is a contract frenzy in business and it's abusing the consumers.
Economics 101: There is no such thing as a free lunch. Everything you perceive free has a cost, including high school.
With that said, I too hope these institutions bring down their costs and stop using students as leverage to take out credit on their behalf. This is a reflection of our beloved American society. Everyone wants to get rich, but no one wants to work/produce. You can surely see the problem with this pinnacle.

From the consumers' point of view:
the word 'application' [and 'app'] means a self-contained piece of software.
