I read the "About Docker" page on their website and it says this:
Docker is an open-source project to easily create lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers from any application. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop can run at scale, in production, on VMs, bare metal, OpenStack clusters, public clouds and more.
Even after reading it, I've got no fucking idea what it does! Their "read more" page just shits out a whole load of buzzwords.
BB10 will have the Android Runtime that came with the PlayBook, so most Android apps will be able to be ported quickly (assuming the developers get round to it). This should give RIM a massive leg-up on populating their app store quickly, albeit with some inconsistent-UI issues.
We already did. We held elections in 2009, sick of the existing Labour government that was kissing US arse and instead opted for a Conservative/Liberal coalition that both insists on keeping us in recession and continues to kiss US arse.
Democracy doesn't work when none of the electable parties have your best interests in mind.
If sales have gone up, then congratulations, you've scored a minor victory against those stealing to avoid paying for decent content, but if not, what exactly have you achieved? Sure, people have stopped *cough* "stealing" your content, but they're not buying it either, it simply proves it wasn't worth paying for in the first place.
Either that, or they're still downloading it for free, they just figured out another way to do it without getting caught. Thus continuing the perpetual cycle of cat and mouse between the consumer and the dying business model of the entertainment industry.
Don't forget that we've had a Humble Indie Bundle too, which provides downloads via Bittorrent. I've probably downloaded about 10GB over Bittorrent for the HIB games, all 100% legit.
You think you've got it bad? Think about all us poor Brits who were about to start some anti-American rant about leaving your damn nuclear waste on our doorstep, and were suddenly silenced!
Microsoft already had a tablet that would make employees potentially much more productive. It was called Courier, the internet was crying out for them to make it, and they cancelled the whole project.
How does copyrighting a previously public domain item even work? I mean, if someone copyrights, say, a book in the public domain, and I then go ahead and reprint that book, I can state that my copy is a printed version of the public domain version, and any copyright claim should be moot, since they can't prove I used the copyrighted version. Am I missing something?
I actually agree, sort of. It's not that I have anything against indie developers getting their stuff out there, but the problem is that I find myself less willing to splash out on it. With the Introversion bundle and HIB4 in the same month, I spent less than $25 on both, but with the original bundle, I spent $25 for that on its own.
By far my biggest gripe though is the "developer specific" humble bundles. Again, I don't have a problem with indie devs marketing their stuff, but the Humble Bundle was designed to be something special that gave obscure independent developers some coverage, and also do something nice for charity. With the advent of the Introversion and Frozenbyte bundles though, the whole thing just seems to become marketing noise (and I'm not even sure that Introversion needed the coverage, Darwinia was a fairly highly rated game back in the day).
Why does it always have to be about the money? Let's do it because we can. I mean, lets face it, that's the only reason we've ever been to the moon. It cost a fortune, and many lives, but at the end of the day, we put a man on the fucking moon. Can we bring back the woolly mammoth? I'm sceptical, but let's go for it, because it's science, and the lessons learned along the way could have all kinds of medical benefits, and let's face it, it'd be awesome to see one.
Why is it that the east just seems to be so far ahead of the west with this sort of stuff? I mean, we just seem so reluctant to adopt cool new tech. This stuff is the future, but (in the UK at least) we just seem to be getting left behind!

Best I got is a 3.5" disk, hard.

Speaking for my people, No.
Too soon man, too soon :(

In the 1950s the newest technology was the TV. Did teachers suddenly needs TVs to be teachers? No.
Speaking as someone born in the eighties and educated in the nineties and noughties; apparently they did.
BT is one of the telecommunications providers in the UK (like Verizon or AT&T in the USA I think).

Why, when so many tech companies were opposed to SOPA, are they behind CISPA? What benefit are they now being offered that they weren't before?
Some people really do have convoluted methods for looking at their wrist!
Where can I download Lackluster Linux, and how do I install it on my mediocre laptop?

Technically you're still downloading. ;-)
