Like any country that have huge reserves of $resource and have no political and economical stability?
Theres is actually a debate here because Grey Star (Canada) and a Chinese corporation are planning on Gold mining in areas which could harm 3 of our most important drainage basins. Average people have reacted and have spread the voice trough YouTube videos and forwarding mails (News just started to talk about it once the public outrage started.) Likely outcome: The Government may revoke the licenses because of the potential ecological damage and the usual "who the f authorized this in the first place?"
Guess the difference is the threat level: Fighting a corp against putting mercury in our water (our case) against fighting a corp who is selling IP = creating jobs in China (your case).
You say: "Well we could just innovate again and create some jobs/I can get a new job" while We say: "You're not mining on that basin, sorry"
Flash on a Tegra 2 wich supports hardware acceleration do not kill the battery, old FUD is old.
Speaking on multitasking, Why isn't the Notion Ink Adam mentioned in the article? Well I know PCMag is lousy but if there is an implementation of multitaking on Android that works, it's EDEN, see:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvMMZ8AdxnQ
Thats real multitasking WHILE sending HDMI video at 1080p and several applications working in second plane. Why people put up* with less is beyond me.
*Oh well the iPad jumped first and Galaxy tab was just released, Adam and others are going to be avilable after CES, most of them are just waiting for the FCC approval.
In that paragraph.. I really couldn't figure out if you were talking about ChromeOS or Apple in general.
Why people get pissed off when somebody offers an alternative NOT MEANT FOR THEM? It's like watching a Business guy pissed off because his new tata is kinda cheap, or a farmer pissed off because his new Bugati can't work the land, or family guy pissed off because his new Mini can't accommodate the family...
Give the guys a break, at least they're trying something different (not different as in Apple different)
Chrome OS: less internal storage than my phone, no RJ45, lame
AFAIK Colombia is not going since we have a huge problem with floods and the government is dealing with a lot of problems right now, were not that dependent from China but we might as well see the writing on the wall and mind our own businesses. And yes, in the last 8 years we had a bad record of treating dissidents (mostly black PR campaigns) but that administration ended recently and things are going in other direction now. Wouldn't be the first international event were missing these days because of the floods I was talking about.
If you only you could realize that your attitude is what give Islam a bad name, not being affiliated to any religion at all, I just wish people like you just shut up and don't try to force your views into anyone else.
Also, Sharia law in USA? Andalus? That happened hundreds of years ago when you didn't have too much of a choice regarding the religion in the place where you were living. The only natural next-step for ALL religions in the world is to disappear once and for all. No, I'm not atheist I believe in God I just don't care about the various bureaucracy schools around him/her/it
Not being an American I can't see how USA would accept something like Sharia Law, I mean, Next someone is going to give us their "expression of religious belief" and propose child defilement. Sharia Law and child defilement are things very well related in that they go against basic human rights.
Or maybe you're just reverse-trolling so people hate Islam. Anyway STFU
IANAeB but people in the future will remember this era in ET life research as the stupid-era, comparable to when we used to think the sun revolved around the earth, because we are actually looking for life AS IF the only possible way for life to exists in an Earth-like environment. I mean, they have to have the same DNA composition as us, the have to be in a earth-like planet, they need oxygen and and atmosphere which is tolerable for US. Theres not an only set of predefined conditions (based in the only ones we know, ours) that make life possible, it's so simple that always have puzzled me why scientist concentrate the research in earth like environments instead of create alternative environments in our labs, here, with different mixes of the basic soup, and different atmospheric conditions.
"we are the only know (intelligent) form of life around, so, any other form of life should be like us" Where this obviously narrows the research a lot it is a short sighted approach.
Scientist will probably be SHOCKED when we make first contact and find that ETs don't actually think the Beatles sound good, that they don't have "politics", or that they find our gastronomic preferences an insult to the "Galactic Convention of Life Rights" but what do I know, I'm from the marketing dept, I'm just slacking around here:)
I like linux and dual boot my hard drive because theres no way I can run 600 Mb PSD files with acceptable performance on Wine/Linux, since I have paid for Photoshop (and other DP software) and is actually putting the bread in my table, I use windows (7 pro) that is not that bad anyway.
But that would make me a poseur in his eyes since I should be in $win7forums and not reading news about Linux or alternative software which I Like and support. Because everybody knows YOU HAVE TO USE $OS_ecosystem and not the best tool for the job and if you use other than $OS_ecosystem you're an winluser a macfag or a linuxtard.
It's great that someone is finally recognizing this sort of stuff. Think of the millions of kwh wasted all over the world every day running PORN on laptops and desktops...not to mention the security issues involved with the 'active' content that the PORN SITES brings to the system. All of this comes from an unlovely company that does not seem to shoulder any responsibility for the MEDIA that it looses upon the user community. Okay PORN INDUSTRY, mod this troll, but you can't stop everyone from eventually seeing the light.
tl:dr
Thank god Mr Jobs is protecting against porn TOO:)
No country should rely on "google Maps" for military intel, now, is not that Nicaragua is some sort of peacefull friendly citizen of the caribean, they have LOTS of trouble with neighbors because they claim land/sea that are not from them. They actually get inside Colombian territorial waters now and then, they even captured Colombian fisherman on our own territorial waters not long ago.
Google Maps caused all this? Thats what you tell on public broadcasting, I wonder WHATS really going on over there. Maybe they, in fact, want to invade Costa Rica. Wich sucks since that part of the caribean is so beaten by natural disasters and this retarded militia and politicians seem to care about other stuff.
While I agree with most of your post, I think a Thinkpad looks better than any Mac, because, you know, everyone seem to have different approaches to what they see as "good looking" slick, boxy, black and matte are my choices. I just don't see myself buying white or UFOwannabe hardware. And I can't see any industrial design merit in Mac Books since others are doing things like this:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W700ds
Double Screen, RAID, WACOM and Colomimeter in a laptop.
Yeah, Everyone knows Word and Facebook benefits a LOT from HT and multicore so average computer user RUSH to the store so they can buy the latest and greatest and they finally get good FPSs in farmvile. Oh and p0rn is more snappier (pun pun pun) with 12 cores/sarcasm
I simply take any benchmark as a grain of salt, it is well known the Intel optimizes their CPUs so they tweak themselves if they detect a benchmark application. Excuse me if I pass on the eV1agr4 I have better things in which spend the money for desktop components.
Yes something like that exist, North peninsula of Colombia: sierra, jungle, sea, and desert, "within hiking distance" but not everyone speaks the same language.
A big island in the pacific? I guess theres plenty of those geographic curiosities.
ahh the glory of living in developing countries, If I buy a used OEM box and the sticker key is banned (not so common) just have to email a photo/scan of the sticker and box details and MS sends me a new key via email all in less than 3 hours. I never had to fight with some callcenterdroid, actually Local MS offices are known by their good customer support. Not that it changes what i think about MS personally.
The win7 x64 pro retail I run now automagically activated once I connected to internet.
Did you know that you can transfer your XP validation copying two system32 files? "requires" you to use the same hardware but I tried HDD and CPU replacements and it worked just fine.
Was it worth to change to Win7? The thing seems stable, tweaking msconfig and activating multicore kernel + readyboost have really speed up things, I mean, Adobe CS4 feels like its actually a(n) slim and nonbloated piece of software. Only Fedora is faster on that machine, but thats a given. Had some problems with hibernation and some drivers need a lot of tweaking so is not a flawless experience but so far, better than XP.
I'm Colombian, and why would we want a nuclear bomb? our enemy is in the jungle so our priority is helicopters and jungle commandos which are the best of the world thanks to 50 years of infamous continuous war now very close to an end, not thanks to the shitload of cocaine money that pour on those fuckers thanks to You fellow dopehead.
I even find it funny for Chavez to have a nuclear bomb, he knows the moment USA finds out he will get a GPS guided bomb in his ass. AFAIK Brazil and Argentina have modest nuclear programs, countries that OHMYFUCKINGGOAWD have been in the hands of socialist governments last years, yet I don't hear any American media outlets complaining that evil Brazilian cleptosicialisturrurist attacking teh freedom (tm)
For a sting operation the customer being Venezuela was correct. IRL Venezuela have long commercial and military agreements with Russia, Russia can sell them 1 of 2 nukes for the lulz, buy today, use tomorrow pay in 6 months. I think Iran could do the same thing: buy the nukes and be done with it, but then how is USA going to whine about it? because, you know, America of lately don't bitch a lot to other big superpowers like China or Russia.
Of course this can be the start of the next security theater, you know, big defense megacorps HATE being without a punchbag to test their shit and make money.
Like the World Series, We all know the internet is a developed-world-only stuff...:D
But in all seriousness local soccer assocs have direct line with the FIFA, you know, every statistic of every local match (A series) is sent to the FIFA.

My AbiWord starts in 3 seconds on my Pentium 3 M coppermine and 256Mb of PC100 ram, how long does it take to start OOWrite on your PC? ..

Yo dawg I heard you like satellites so I put a nanosatellite inside your microsatellite so you can sail while you go geostationary.
