Outsourcing jobs to India means more jobs for better pay at home - just like War creates Peace and Freedom makes Slavery and Ignorance breeds Strength.
Women never really faint, Villains always blink their eyes, Children are the only ones who blush and Life is just to Die.
Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.
In this I see more of the American emphasis on quantity over quality. You know: like their cheese.
What isn't included in this survey, I surmise, is that the sick Americans are kept "alive" longer, by bankrupting them on expensive medical technologies and pharmaceuticals. It is a life-extending technology that only kicks-in, once the damage has been done!
So, those last years are spent in drugged misery, draining the bank accounts and inflating the insurance-rates - leaving another generation with less than the preceding one.
This is Google, you know: a privacy flaw exposed in the kernel of their device isn't a FLAW! It's a business-enabling FEATURE. If your business is Google's...
Why are Google treated as the great, open alternative and god's gift to geekdom? They really suck eggs. I mean after search, what have they delivered besides betas and hype? Collapsible threads in webmail? It may take someone 11 interviews to be hired at GOOG. That doesn't mean they get the best and brightest.
Someday, we will really regret putting the Google panopticon at the center of the Internet.
That seems to be the nature of the hyperbolic rhetoric in this sub-thread.
The fact is, this information is available to anybody sniffing traffic. If we were to restrict tool design, because it exposed shoddy application security and architecture? Then all we'd have is old, crappy tools. "Ban NMap and Nessus! Traceroute and Ping are enough to get your jobs done!"
Fuckbook needs to get their act together, as do the other egregious offenders. Remember: the Zuckerberg business model depends on the discreet sharing of this data, without the user's full cognisance or consent. At least you know what they are shipping to folks like Zynga...
There's a "one click" joke in here, waiting to be told.
The "Soviet Russia" is a throwaway - of course! I do like the general resonance with the notion that the Kindle, in a very real and significant way DOES read "you".
The tracking/advertising/selling model of Amazon is a borderline-insidious intrusion into privacy. The data is collected, presumably forever, and when combined with some interpretations of the Federal wiretapping laws, may someday stand as witness against you.
There is a very real connection between Kindle and a nascent version of the 1984 Telescreen. Of course, this is true of the web-browser, itself.
You may think of yourself as a user of Google, Facebook or Amazon, but you are actually their product.
Sure, Google will provide you with search results, but they are not in the search business; they are in the advertising business. Their profits come from marketing firms that buy your behavior.
Similarly, Amazon is not in the book business, although they will send you the books you've ordered. They are in the personal information business.
The assets of modern web-based companies are the intimate profiles of those who "use" them, like you and me. Time to forget the nice pronouncements like "Do no evil" that accompany the wholesale destruction of privacy now taking place on the web, or rather within the walled gardens that companies like Facebook, Google and Apple are erecting around us on the web. Compared to them, the Chinese censors re-inventing their Great Wall are a bunch of sissies.
Thanks. I haven't had compositing fail in over a year. I guess nVidia has been stable.:-)
I too, use the Emerald decorator. Per your other comment, yes I glossed the Beryl/Emerald pairing vs. Compiz. I also didn't go into the detor that was Sawfish - before Metacity... I believe we have significantly illustrated the bumpy road which was travelled by the Gnome user.
Ugh! I just recalled doing Helix installs on top of a base RedHat WS. It had been blotted from memory!
All said, the new, Gnome Shell makes me resort to using a terminal as my principal program launcher. I don't believe that this is a design goal of the project.

'Cos there's LOTS of Brit Queens on Facebook.

But then, the preposition is wrong for your proposition!
You allude "to" and elude "from". :-)
30%. OK! But... I bet the US is regional. I seen 'em put a few down, in Boston and Chicago.
More alcohol? I'd like to see the comparison on that figure.
Boil butterball in his own fat. There's plenty of it.
Someday, he will have Hell to pay - in the very literal, Dantean sense of the term.
"alluding" :-)
Possibly, you say.

Winston, Inner Party members can turn it off - those propriety dictates that this be for no more than half-hour intervals.

I know that it would prevent losing my own bone, if they get these skintight outfits on... suitable female astronauts...

ChromeOS is Linux, with the userland stripped bare and a browser for a shell.
All done before.
I don't claim that.
But these BrotherPluckers start with a known Linux sourcecode base, fork it, and introduce this number of exploits in ring-0?
They suck.

In Soviet Russia, Kindle reads YOU!
Heh. If today is Tuesday, this must be Belgium.

I'm still fascinated that there's a gene that pre-disposes one to compassion, kindness and consideration.
I was just beginning to credit this all to bacteria.

You can always break out a can of Zyklon, and gas your own arse!
