If this is among the smartest bots then I'm sorry for this... I logged in and said just this.... what's on right of -------- it's my comment now.
marius - hi [ Af:2 At:9 Sp:0] Good afternoon. marius - whas up -------- intentional typo to see if it understand I probably wanted to say what's up - so that would be a question, therefore I expect an answer from them. It replies with unrelated subject and question - he's therefore bot. [ Af:2 At:9 Sp:0] What's the biggest crime you've gotten away with?
You've never heard of answering a question with a question? A fictional example: You answer the door to find a police officer standing there. You open the conversation by asking "How can I help you officer?" The policeman responds with "Are you mariushm born blah blah blah?"
[ Af:1 At:16 Sp:0] Hip hip hooray ---- yeah like when I chat with someone I expect this kind of answer.
You must chat with only the most erudite individuals on the internet.
I think Apple want's to level the playing field when developing for the mac and using the Mac App store.
They wan't everyone to program in c (and direct derivatives). The fact that the jvm isn't bound to one programming language is, I think, one of the reasons.
When you see that a dev team can develop faster with a language like Scala than for example ObjC, you can see what kind of advantages that might have.
Good sir, I beseech of thee to consider the purchase of either a cup of coffee or perhaps a book on punctuation. If I may paraphrase a certain Mr. Kurtz, "The apostrophes, the apostrophes."
I 100% believe this. What I learned in school has almost no application to what I do for work.
I went to MIT. It was hard. But I could have learned the same material in half the time and gotten more work experience if I'd just had an internship instead. I've already had to fill in the gaps in fundamental knowledge for the material that wasn't covered in my classes, and know plenty of my fellow alums have had the same experience. We disagree with the argument that it gives students a good foundation, and that what you learn has any bearing on what you do later.
But would you have? Or would you have just learned what was required of you to fulfill your role as an intern? (from the company I mean, I'm not questioning your work ethic or curiosity)
Think like a diplomat does, and then you'll see why they use the language they do. I would guess (since I'm not a mind-reader, and even if I were, I don't speak Spanish) that this is indeed a withdrawal from ACTA just couched in diplomatic language.
And since Intel doesn't operate as a monopoly or as part of cartel (at least i don't think Intel and AMD are in collusion, lol) if the market works as it's supposed to, this will bite them in the ass until equilibrium is restored.
China isn't subsidizing us with savings, they don't have any. What profits they make, they are wisely investing in natural resources elsewhere, including here, but what they are doing economically is a trick. They have their currency pegged to ours, the exchange rate can't fluctuate. Do I need to explain what that does to trade?
Except that isn't true. And the exchange rate is even lower now according to xe.com right now.
You are arguing against purchasing American goods manufactured in China. Foxconn is responsible for much more than iPods and iPhones but let's use the iPod as an example (because we can extrapolate fairly easily that what holds true in this case will remain true in similar cases). It is well known that the iPod is produced in China, but how much of the value of an iPod do you think remains in China? You might be surprised. Do you honestly think that the companies would all of a sudden up and close shop in China and start manufacturing in America with labor? They would automate as much of the process as possible. Finally, a recent paper shows that because of wage imbalances, the actual amount earned by American workers far outstrips that of non-US workers. PDF Link And as a final prod - how much do you enjoy the low prices available from newegg or wherever in order to build your own machine? That doesn't happen without globalization. Your option would not only displace Chinese workers, it would also not help a substantial amount of American workers in the long-run.

I knew you meant penal, but the opportunity was too good to pass up.:) Although there is quite a large penile element to all-male (such as Slashdot) penal colonies...so you might not have been too far off the mark. heh heh.
OT: I'm holding out for an Android phone with a flash *and* picture quality as good as an iPhone. The Samsung Galaxy S is the closest but no flash and no image stabilization. VLC would be a must it it existed but I'll setting for a phone/MP3/Camera for now. I'm sick of nursing multiple batteries/chargers and SD cards.
I do not care to join the growing iPhone penile colony.
Are you ejaculating that Apple has erected a large user base of which you do not want to be a member?
This clearly hasn't worked - read Amy Chua's "World on Fire" for an explanation of why. Better still, but probably too dense for the average reader is Barrington Moore's "Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy".
Who mods this crap up? Japan's colonization of neighbouring countries and wars of aggression were not about venting - what they were about is far too long to get into in a slashdot post. Japanese culture is no more boring or hive-like than American culture.
Park Jung Hee did a lot of good for the country during his first years in power, as he actually had goals in mind for the nation. When he started to become more concerned with staying in power because he believed that there were no worthy successors is when things went wrong. 2MB might be the worst democratically elected president however.
This is where slashdot moderation fails. What we need is a -1 ill-informed. The only thing you got right is that the North Korean leaders aren't crazy.
The CEO and CFO made approximately 22 million between them in 2007. Let's say an average worker in the factories makes 50,000 a year. That's what, about 400 workers (leaving some 2 million in salary for the two executives)? 3 of the top executives got pay increases from 2006 to 2007, so, umm who's talking about contraction and pay cuts? http://www.companypay.com/executive/compensation/general-motors-corp.asp?yr=2008
I guess if you're on top of a sinking ship, you might as well get out with as much as you can.

Except Joe Average isn't going to be pirating the chip, as this will probably require a little more effort than downloading music or video.
Uh-oh: no subsidies - US agribusiness won't like that very much. and those farmers have a pretty powerful lobby.

You should also try: bandcamp.com and soundcloud.com. Also make music accounts on myspace and facebook. If you want to be heard, you gotta advertise.

You have identified a market. Go compete in it with your product and succeed or fail.
That's easy for you to say, you're the Archangel Michael!!
In all seriousness though, are you really trying to insinuate that grownups don't swear?
