I cannot believe that violating an internal privacy policy is actionable in any way. Perhaps they need to change their policy, but the fact is the policy is something the organization came up with and posted. It is not any binding agreement on the organization with their users.Anyone that believes there are laws against disclosing information to advertisers needs to have a better understanding of how advertising on the Internet works.
We have one. It has the side benefits of being faster than Java,not having annoying bugs like garbage collection, and being applicable on anything from embedded devices to PCs. It's called C++, and the smart people never stopped using it.
Everyone always talks about the differences between a standard computer and a Quantum computer. Graphics cards are good for floating point numbers, why can't we have a Quantum Card to handle quantum operations? Does it really have to be one or the other?
Wait, you're calling Intel an odd chipset? On a netbook? I'm pretty sure you haven't been netbook shopping recently.
Here is the list of the top selling netbooks in September:

9 out of those 10 use Intel graphics chipset.
If a chipset is in 95% (+) of all netbooks sold, it's really irrelevant whether it sucks or not. You really should make sure your OS that's called "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" supports the hell out of it.
The linked/. article in the YouTube video description helps a bit. Sounds like drugs are the key element for both the AI and probably the humans who are involved:p
They should have destroyed it before they even asked for help.Part of "Don't Be Evil" is "Don't Cooperate With Evil"And after their recent run in with possibly state sponsored hacking of political activists in China, they should defnitely be wary of trusting even the government.Not to mention that simply even holding this information, even under lock and key, is an invitation to the information being hacked and leaked, both by crackers and covert government agents alike.

Android tends to be more popular with really geeky folks while the iPhone tends to be more popular with people that want their experience ready to go out of the box.I have both, so let's see.Android phone: turn on, type in Google account name and password (old or new), and everything works and stays in sync.iPhone: turn on, and... then it gets complicated. You definitely need a desktop at some point, but then you have to decide... Do you want to sync with Google? That's complicated, you need to set up mail and an Exchange account. Do you sync with your desktop? On Mac, it sort-of syncs with the built-in applications (but not much else). On Windows, it supposedly syncs with Outlook. If you use both a desktop and a laptop, things get even more complicated.Seems pretty clear which is better for "people who want their experience ready to go out of the box": get an Android phone and use Google's online apps. Apple's ecosystem is a complicated mess in comparison.
Came here to say this. Seriously, reading about building your own, I felt like I was blasted back to the 90's there for a second. Plus putting all those things together and keeping stock on hand. How does this not cost your employer a fortune?

The computer is an actor, empowered by the trading house to make trades for them. It is an agent of a conscious entity.Your analogy falls apart there, because a gun is a passive item.This is more like poking a beehive with a stick and collecting the small amounts of honey that drip out. And then the bees got pissed.
Honestly, looks more like a circle/square - an Octagon to me.
But hey, I am not 100,000 light years away to make that kind of judgement.

At least half of the deceased had nothing to do with the protest, and were simply walking between classes as they were gunned down. Go ahead and defend that.

I mostly agree with you. You can see my post elsewhere in this thread which touched some of the points you mentioned.
Can I also get a "whoooosh" with that, or is that extra?

That's great that you post your experiences with server scheduling in a topic about desktop scheduling. It's so relevant. No wait, it's not.

Next thing, they will want you to declare the illegal drugs you carry...
by "root" I mean wait for someone to find a bug in the firmware so a program can be created to re-program the flash.i.e. see Droid 2. It is not open. http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/08/25/motorola-droid-2-rooted/
I've been using Comcast cable internet (and the predecessors) since mid 1999. I've loved it.

However, the EU could easily solve the patent troll issue when it comes to software: they could simply not recognize software patents.
And nothing hurt.

Well it is obvious! It found the LOLCats page first!
That goes a long way to explain recent events in the financial sector.
