It only has 128MB of RAM. It ought to be blazing fast if anyone these days was willing to develop with resource constraints like these in mind. PCs in the 80's has responsive GUIs while running < 10MHz.You could still use Linux as the kernel but the bloat and overhead from the non-native code in the front end kills performance.
At least get rid of all the ridiculous plodding data entry work they require job candidates to type in. Do you really need someone's address if you're going to reject 90% of them on some silly whim?
The original Looney Toons were meant for adult consumption as shorts before a feature movie. That's why so many of them have pop culture references to things kids of the era wouldn't get. Especially the censored ones that never get played on TV these days.
Facebook "users" are a product being sold. Real names allow Facebook to better monetize their user database by enabling correlation with other big data vendors like Acxiom. Once they have a complete profile of who you are and the entire details of your life, it is much easier to implement targeted ads. Fake names are useless for making them money.
You shouldn't delude yourself into thinking that the US has free elections or in any resembles a true democracy or republic. Just look at how almost all states ban non-party affiliated voters from participating in primaries even though they use public resources to collect those votes.
The dot com frenzy of the 1990s was an example of long term investing that didn't work out.
No. That was gambling in hopes of striking it rich by getting in early on a company that balloons to 1000x PE in the frenzy. It helped that there were a lot of naive day traders around to supply cash for the big fish to gobble up.
Many software patents fail the obviousness test or get by because of ignorant examiners. A disproportionate number of software patents are just doing something that is commonplace in the physical world but only now "with a computer" or "over the internet" as the innovative step. Then comes the standpoint that algorithms aren't patentable while many software patents are only describing an algorithmic process.
The USPTO also has a massive conflict of interest in being dependent on funding from application and maintenance fees. They milk the gravy train of software patents for all it's worth even if it isn't in the public interest to do so as demonstrated by all the NPEs that collect patents for the sole purpose of litigation. It's easiest for the trolls to do this with software patents because it requires little expenditure of effort to come up with something "novel" that will get accepted by an examiner.
their long term goals include taking over the mideast, followed by Europe, and eventually, the entire globe.
How are innumerate people going to operate the machinery needed to produce the necessary weapons for such a task? They are delusional in wanting to return to a pre-industrial society while being dependent on industrialization to fight for that lofty goal.
As soon as space mining becomes practical on the near horizon Congress will take the necessary action to legalize it. Otherwise they risk losing all of the money and jobs (not to mention the brib... er campaign contributions) from the support services that would go to non-US companies in countries who aren't signatories to the treaty.
They aren't being used by students because they need to be able to run general purpose software. They are bought by budget minded people who only need a web browser and web apps to use a computer which is the case for most non-technical people these days.
Dr. Oz has always been a shill hiding behind his credentials to tout scam artists by proxy.
The anti-salt propaganda has as much basis as the "wisdom" of drinking eight glasses of water a day. It became a thing everyone "knows" is true without questioning if there is any factual support. Nobody has ever demonstrated a mechanism for how salt intake causes heart disease. All you ever get is a lot of hand waving and vague statistics collected from people who already have advanced CV disease.
Short of drinking excessive amounts of salt water your kidneys will do their job and maintain isotonic balance by pissing away any salt your body doesn't need. Unless you have compromised renal function there is no substantiated reason to moderate salt intake.
No it wouldn't. The embargo is only about pacifying Cuban-American voters. If it was to battle communism then we wouldn't have normalized trade relations with Vietnam.
It has been going one ever since Manning came to light. Nobody wants to be the investigator who approves the next high profile mole so they reject people on the flimsiest of grounds to cover their ass and not harm their promotion track.
That's not how the questions are presented by the investigators. Every time I've been asked it's always phrased as a question of affiliation with any anti-government group, violent or otherwise. I always truthfully denied it while pondering why they don't believe in the truly American, constitutionally backed principle of toppling an oppressive government.

But why is it so slow?

Except that sapphire production is not the largest part of their business.
This is like the Iraqis using electronic dousing rods to find IEDs. They are too ignorant to know what they're buying.

Good. It's only a matter of time now until the PC unit fails and the HP name can be bought back by its proper owner Keysight.

I just wish our PBS station would stop polluting the Create channel with cartoons all through the evening.

Or Future Imagery Architecture. Boeing has a lot of failures under its belt.

The point is that they are an introduced species that doesn't belong there any more than camels in Australia.

What do you think she's guilty of?
Believing that she lives in a free country.

More like accidentally kill 100,000 civilians and threaten to cut off anyone in the press corps who dares to bring it up.
Playing both sides sells more guns from the corpor... people that matter.
