Some researchers have proposed that human influences on climate began earlier than is normally supposed and that major population declines in Eurasia and the Americas reduced this impact, leading to a cooling trend. William Ruddiman has proposed that somewhat reduced populations of Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East during and after the Black Death caused a decrease in agricultural activity. He suggests reforestation took place, allowing more carbon dioxide uptake from the atmosphere, which may have been a factor in the cooling noted during the Little Ice Age. Ruddiman further hypothesizes that a reduced population in the Americas after European contact in the early sixteenth century could have had a similar effect.[78][79] Faust, Gnecco, Mannstein and Stamm (2005)[80] and Nevle (2011)[81] supported depopulation in the Americas as a factor, asserting that humans had cleared considerable amounts of forests to support agriculture in the Americas before the arrival of Europeans brought on a population collapse. A 2008 study of sediment cores and soil samples further suggests that carbon dioxide uptake via reforestation in the Americas could have contributed to the Little Ice Age.[82] The depopulation is linked to a drop in carbon dioxide levels observed at Law Dome, Antarctica.[80]
And only recently have big corporations started to use standards-essential patents and refused to pay the license fee.
It used to be that big corporation only stole small company patents. Now they steal big corporations patents too - when those big corporations gets angry and wants to get payed for their patents - the abusers run to the government and hide behind their tailcoat
So they should select an illegal recourse like apple or microsoft and use other intellectual property without paying for them and be patentpirates ?
Suing in court for banning of products is what the politicians has proposed as plan for corporations to follow when criminal corporations break the law and uses their innovations without license.
So why do they want to enforce making it more expensive to have secure computers ?
Why only on computers ? why not a sales tax on for example plumbing ? Cause everyone needs to take a dump so should be a profitable tax.
However since its only on standard software and open source is nonstandard I'm gonna presume its just a tax on those selling Microsoft software admin services.
Facebook servers in Sweden are expected to use 1TWh/year when fully operational - in 3 data centers located next to each others. So looks like Facebook will use something around 100 000 cpu per center.
Actually no its 97% of published paper who mentions AGW - a majority of the papers dont check for it and are for other metherological research that don't involve looking into AGW.
Xbox sales is very small in comparison. Microsoft have sold a total of about 70 million units of Xboxes since 2005. Currently they sell like half a million each month - basically neglectable compared with total sales of windows; its even less then windows mobile.
As for Windows CE its hard to find data of number of licenses but its also small given that Linux is comming along and many are already using Linux or switching too it. Microsoft has tried to relauch WinCE as WIndows Compact 8 during 2013. Doubt it will get alot of success. WinCE is the basis for Windows Mobile who don't sell good either.
So I would not think about them alot. They don't really matter.
In blackjack the rules for how the casino plays is pre-determined. So even if the casino know the players cards it wont affect what happens in a hand. The casino has to act the same way anyhow.
The European Court of Human Rights is NOT part of EU. Its an independent court.
So your yelp at EU sceptics is way out of line. Given the decisions from the EU Court I can only say its my opinion that it would naver have reached the same decision. Its very pro-EU.
Windows is the part that they use to leverage their sales of Office which is Microsofts main cash cow.
With Windows no longer being able to to give Office an extra advantage, Office will have a hard time to compete and will no longer be dominating and it will be really downhill for Microsoft.
Its all about follow the money. A company in trouble usually sell off the parts of their business that dont show a big profit. Selling the cash cow means you are left with a business that hardly gives any profit for the future. That is a bad bet for a company that aim to survive. Selling Xbox is thus the better choice for the company. Its just sound business strategy.

Well, they often seem to like to put them before even the US constitution...
Overreaching surveillance by NSA with PRISM and torture in Guantanamo bay are not fiction.
So they should select an illegal recourse like apple or microsoft and use other intellectual property without paying for them and be patentpirates ?

Everyone know nerds knows everything.
This is a site for nerds.
Since its factual incorrect its not written by a nerd but rather by either a Troll and probably is some Flamebait.
Select one of them.
Linus has seen Wargames and knows that sometimes
the best way to win is not to play the game
He does it just for fun.
So why do they want to enforce making it more expensive to have secure computers ?
Why only on computers ? why not a sales tax on for example plumbing ?

Thats why the poster said "Release the secure boot key..."

Assuming the calculations is corrent.
Actually many of them is Linux servers. So they are cheap :)
Given that patents has already been sent to the patent office and are public accessable from there; patent are never a reason for not open up specs.
For article. Sadly you can't moderate an article.
So they could install the programs on their corporate computers.
Easy 8 is 4 by 2 and 16 is 4 by 4.
So to get 1/8 just take the value and half it 3 times and to get 1/16 half it 4 times.
Its not hard.

Actually humanity fixed global cooling by better air regulations that banned sulphor from being released uncontrolled into the atmosphere.
Humanity stopped the acid rains. But instead the more damaging global warming, that had been repressed by the acid environment, showed its ugly face.
So global cooling was fixed. Now its the time to fix global warming.
PS Yes, you can stop global warmning by spreading sulphor, but it will instead make this a world full of acid rain.
No because real sysadmins use curl.
Not possible. Toot is the same as full access to everything - root has no access restrictions whatsoever. being root is being god on that computor.
Thus no one sane accept ssh to root.

TOS usually describes what is authorized access and what is not.
So well its kinda are there.

Is that Bill Gates owns a large amount of Montesanto shares. If they go up he becomes richer so of course he is promoting them through BSA.

There fixed it for you.
