Its about keeping you safe from the evildoers. Honest. Would we lie to you? We are the land of the free. WE have nothing to hide.
Yeah right. Cutting off people's internet would be far more inconvenient to the citizenry than isolated attacks on public infrastructure or government facilities.
It will effectively make them deaf, dumb, blind and mute as far as their voice in the international community goes.
Now, why would the want to do that? Maybe Assange has an idea.
"people" do that on the mac, or just a single person? seriously, the whole point of the mac is to get apps that fit in with the rest of the system, and they are cocoa. given how much stuff cocoa can do for you, it boggles the mind as to why you'd bother NOT using it on the mac, unless you're doing some shitty half arsed port of something and in that case very few mac users are going to go for it because compared to the rest of the apps on the system it will likely look and run like shit.
just sayin.... if you want cross platform like that you want something like java.
End users getting/dealing with virus = fail of IT dept. Other employees are not employed to deal with IT issues. Expecting them to do so is an epic fail. It's not their job.
You are not the common pc user apparently. The rest of the world moved into the 21st century, and have been running with 1680x1050, 1920x1200 or lately 1920x1080 for some time now. My 4 year old 22" monitor is running 1680x1050 and my laptop is running 1920x1080. My 10 year old Sony 17" LCD monitor on my old machine is running 1280x1024, which is on par with your best monitor...
Just because you don't have it, doesn't mean its not commonplace. 1440x900 is barely higher res than the current 11" macbook air, which is also commonly used by recent $300 netbooks.
1920x1080 is common if you're in the market for new hardware. i.e., if you're building a new box with new monitor, etc. Its also the lowest res you've been able to buy in an iMac for some time now.
Given that the monitors we've been getting with our Dells lately have been 1920x1080 and cost about 250 bucks, it isn't going to break the bank.
1920x1080 is HDTV res, and as more people are doing things like processing high def video on their PCs, it is very likely to become the "Standard" resolution on any new desktop hardware for a long time to come.
And I don't think I've ever in my life seen a monitor that can run at 1920x1080 natively.
You obviously don't deal with hardware much in the past few years then. My 15" LAPTOP (a HP Elitebook 8540p) has a native screen resolution of 1920x1080.
The new 27" imacs are 2560x1440, which is a massive step up above that.
TVs are a different matter and have traditionally had much lower DPI than PC monitors. This has not changed. An 11" macbook air has the same screen resolution as your TV, and thats about the lowest resolution screen you can buy on a non-netbook computer these days.
The USA did the same, and managed to fool those... who chose to be fooled by the never-ending "freedom initiatives", even after the US invasion of Afghanistan (and Iraq).
Canards don't show that at all. THe F16 is aerodynamically unstable and FBW only, and has no canards. WE can speculate all we like but unless someone knows its centre of gravity and centre of lift (which you can't really infer from looking at crappy photos) all bets are OFF.
Look around your house and note how many things are made in china. Lots of it is shit, but not all of it is these days. Compare to the number of quality items in your home that are actually MADE in the USA or any of the other western nations.
Dashcode + html5 h.264 video = near enough to native without worrying about security in your app. Security being looked after by safari. People bitching are android shills who have no idea.
Whilst older can mean more experienced or better, it isn't always so. If the senion guy asks for a raise he will likely get what he is worth to the company. If that is not market rate (or better), then clearly they don't need/value his skillset and he should move on to somewhere that does.
No, they simply decided they need skills that are in high demand, and the existing guy doesn't have them. Tough shit. Find more relevant skills, or get paid appropriately.
Thats your perogative. If you're a developer, you should be keeping a finger on the pulse of what the up and coming development languages/tools environments are. What you pick is a judgement call for you to make based on personal preference and research into uses for teh technology in question.
Not learning anything new/relevant and then bitching/complaining about people who are younger than you who earn more (as per TFA) due to skills that are in high demand is not going to get you anywhere.

Most of the multiplayer games i play support that. Over ethernet.
No, its 2011 and ATi's drivers are still shit, especially under Linux. You'd think they'd have fixed them in the past 9 years, but alas...

No, you can't just pick a mid point between zero and max cost. Hardware gets more expensive for diminishing returns at the high end.
Its quite likely you'll get 90% of the performance of a $2000 card for half the price. Mid-range performance wise is much cheaper.
Otherwise we'd be calling $800,000 cars "mid-range" as they're halfway between zero and a veyron's price tag.

cut/paste now works again in Safari (and probably chrome, etc too).
Huzzah!
I've been here since before there were user accounts, and so far am liking the new look...
Also, the US economic model is currently proving to not be sustainable, either.
Fixed that for you.
It works just fine in IE9 beta. LOL. (but yes, add safari to the list of broken browsers for /.

whether it is or not is irrelevant. its less work for bugs in one browser to be fixed, than 10,000 different apps.
Skype has always hijacked your computer to route other people's calls.

Because it supports my anti apple ranting, thats why. Lalala I can't hear you. *covers ears*
This is what dashcode is for. Nothing to see here, move along...
... 1 million internet users need to upgrade their shit if they want to keep a working network connection.
