Anytime you start to filter and suppress speech, you are well on your way to a troubling situation. Even if you allow majority rule, you can potential be blocking very important minority opinions/info.
wind is an effect. It is caused by the sun, I know. Probably also the earth rotation, tides, and other things. If it wasn't caused by something else, it would have stopped a long time ago. All of the things which power wind will not stop anytime soon... or at least we have bigger concerns at that point.
it must be simple, F/OSS, must work in Windows Vista, preferably use a portable format, must not be an online app, and must not require Java. Does such a beast exist Maybe this will do? I think it meets all your needs. You can even use it with a web app if desired. Some functionality may need Java, but most doesn't. I don't know what parts of OOO are Java-driven, but I am sure somebody here does!
No, but I can certainly call you a moron for doing it, and even mock you for it. I could even shoot a recreation of the events and mock you. Or I could also post the actual video and call it news.
1. Not all schools use Mac exclusively. In my area, they are moving to Windows.
2. Only High Schools buy a computer for each user (maybe some jr highs)
3. It would only take a few mid size businesses to negate each school
4. The huge corporations still out buy all the schools combined
So I don't think school macs would make a dent in "corporate sales".
Because occupying land for business use is a privilege, not a right.
You want the cops to come and remove someone from your establishment who you don't want there, you want the government to enforce your control over that little patch of real estate? Part of the deal is that the government gets to set some restrictions on your business. You're shitting us right? Replace home with business. Or farm, or apartment. A person's business is what allows them to make a living. Not all businesses (especially those that want smoking) are huge corporations that hate the common folk. Some are run by the common folk. This is even more true for bars and restaurants, the main businesses effected by these type of laws.
Also, since when has a business had to please EVERYONE? Just becuase I allow customers in my place of business, doesn't mean I have to let all of you assholes in. The last time I checked, "Management reserves the right to refuse business to anyone." Fuck you if you don't like me and my customers smoking. Piss off. Find another place to eat/drink/whatever. This may not be the _your_ business approach, but if that is how the business owner wants to go about it, that is his RIGHT!
That paragraph and defense of yours is creeping WAY to close to the government controlling what I do inside my house. So the next time you use any public service, remember that we have the right to all congregate in your "limited use, government controlled property" as you describe it, and force what we think is appropriate on you and your family.
But eventually the customer might hire someone that actually knows how to use the system. This happened to me when I started a new job. The contracted company didn't want us to have access, for some reason. And I will grant them that nobody there before I started had a clue and probably would have screwed things up. But even when I came on board, the refused to give us access to our data. Within 6 months we were no longer their customer. It also didn't help that they were overcharging like crazy!
Yeah, yeah... everyone laugh becuase I quit reading after the whole "limited understanding". Which is when I darted off to google to see what *MY* state did. But the point is that I find it hard to believe that any state at this point, just trashes used computers. Texas has been doing this for at least 15 years... and probably much longer.
This article http://www.txstate.edu/effective/UPPS/upps-05-01-02.html found in the first page when Googling "State of Texas Computer Disposal Procedure" will show that the AC truly does have a limited understanding of how things work.
That is an excellent point. And since I spend some time here trying to calm down the Linux Freaks, I will take this opportunity to give you all some time to gloat and tell me how this could spur the Linux Desktop Revolution!!
How many times have you wanted to verify and address, check an email, or some other quick task, but you just shut down your computer (for those that shutdown)? This could gain traction as a quick check option. And once a user sees the internet in under a minute, they may not go back.
Who the fuck keeps modding up these moronic "This is old news!!!" posts from AC's. As was proven by an actual member, the news is relatively new, and was in timing with the public demonstration. So please, STFU and quit modding this crap up.
Damn, you guys must have tinfoil hats in your back pocket!!!
While the technology has the capability to replace existing advertising on websites, this isn't being done (for good reason; it would invite massive lawsuits). NebuAd relies on creating partnerships with publishers, then serving up targeted ads to their ad slots in real-time. So they are not REPLACING content, they are working with content providers to do this!
I still don't like it, but calm down and at least understand what you are commenting on.
Citing portability, performance, and inconvenience, the PHP documentation discourages the use of magic_quotes. It's so discouraged that it's being removed from PHP V6 altogether,...... If you're using magic_quotes to escape strings for database calls, use your database implementation's parameterized queries, if they're supported. If not, use your database implementation's escape function, such as mysql_escape_string for MySQL or pg_escape_string for PostgreSQL. This was discussed just a few days ago in the some what wrongly titled 500 Thousand MS Web Servers Hacked
I guess I have never understood the fundamental difference; from TFS...
The concept of a role differs from that of a traditional group in that a group represents one or more users. A role can represent multiple users, but it also represents the permissions that a set of users can perform. So a role is a group with permissions applied? WTF is the point of a group with no permissions applied?
Now I understand you can have different kinds of groups: email/distro, file access, memory access, execute, etc. But even if you use one group to give all of these, that doesn't really make it different that a group with permissions.
Is it all PHB/Marketing BS or am I missing something?
Yeah, imagine if you had, like 90% market share, and your OS supported everything from 8 bit games to 64 bit collaborative applications... then it would be a real bitch to fix stuff.
If the best source of news you can find is a blog with two columns devoted to ads, more ad space in the page that actual content, and that awful attempt at "web 2.0" design, then you probably shouldn't post it to/., or at least not on the front page.
Yeah, I bet what I am thinking of was about desktop computers. I shut all my desktops down after using them, and the laptops get put on standby, hibernate, and shutdown multiple times a day.
Agreed. How hard is it to understand that if you use 50% load on 10 servers, you will probably be using more energy than a 100% load on 5 servers. It's common sense when you realize that a 50% load != 50% power consumption.
I am starting to think I didn't miss much by not going to a big name computer science school.
But you forget about the great gains in manufacturing, aerospace, interstate commerce, and so much more that was a great boost to our economy. That stuff couldn't have been a driving force for our economic success? Do you really think all success comes down to policy? I don't.

You seem to be getting lots of support;~?

PS. I think you missed a few memos.

3. It would only take a few mid size businesses to negate each school

Then perhaps quit trying to convince us of how to perceive you?

FP?
Weren't they all? Well, at least I haven't been counting down the days to see the next IJ movie. they certainly weren't that good.
I like how no fanbois have a reply to that.

So why do we have all the "forced openness"? Why make Linksys release the WRT54 code? Is this just a pissing match?
