What has an extramarital affair got to do with running the CIA?
That question has been answered by a NBCNews headline: "Petraeus' biographer Paula Broadwell under FBI investigation over access to his email, law enforcement officials say":
I guess this is what happens when your backward, anti-freedom police state party systematically alienates all the programmers and sysadmins and hackers, all the good techs and IT personnel who otherwise might have wanted to help you.
It probably didn't help that the Republicans consider Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman to be successful at IT.
Exactly. How big a role has NUTRITION played in the two images? It would stand to reason that a 'severely neglected' child would also eat lower quality food.
No offense, AC, but your viewing "NUTRITION" and mothering as being two different things makes it obvious that you have never parented a young child.
FYI, a newborn requires feeding every 3 hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the first two months of their life. After about 8 or 9 weeks, if you are lucky, your child will (hopefully!) sleep for 5 to 6 hours at a time, so Mom can finally start getting more than 3 hours of sleep then. Furthermore, the experts also say that mom's breast milk is more nutritious than purchased formula and so a young child should be breast fed (by mom) for at least their first 6 months of life.
Well, I live in a residential neighborhood that is mostly single-dwelling homes, which is about as ideal as you can get from a low-density city environment. Using a pringles can, I took a neighborhood survey and found about 26 access points within 300 feet of my home. Now, this is a survey that took several days to complete because of the marginal signal integrity, after which I drove my car in circles matching associated clients to those APs.
I wonder what your neighbors thought when they saw you doing that.
Just a few days ago one third of the population of India has been without electricty for a few hours. How about the government invest their money into a stable power grid first.
The GP wasn't advocating deregulation, but rather that the government stop changing the rules. Once the rules are established, businesses can adapt and the economy will stabilize. If the rules change every few years, the economy will keep fluctuating.
If businesses really want stable regulation, then they need to stop lobbying to have those regulations changed.
Economies of scale. Right now, having lots of processing power on your desktop is cheap because of all the low-end users who subsidize the R&D costs by buying computers. Most of those users mainly browse CNN and play Zynga games on Facebook (slight exaggeration, but not much), and thus do not actually need all that computing power, but they buy mid-range computers because there hasn't historically been anything less powerful on the market that isn't junk.
Over time, though, many of those basic computer users are moving to tablets (and the iPad in particular). Thus, the current state of things is unlikely to persist for much longer. The high end will either skyrocket in cost or tumble in features.
lol - I love how ridiculous this articles are. Desktop PCs are not going anywhere. Laptops are great, phones & pdas are great in a pinch but nothing compares to a triple monitor beast to mess around with. If anything I see PCs becoming more relevant with wireless display tech. 1 computer, multiple users, multiple displays. No need to sync because it's all on one system. The cloud will be based out of the home and you access it from anywhere.
I agree 100% with you, but I also think you also proved Cringley's point.
The term "Personal Computer" refers to a machine that is operated directly by an end-user with no intervening operator.
A home server that serves as a personal cloud does not meet that traditional definition of "Personal Computer" -- you are not operating the server directly, nor would that server be a single user system.
Just last month one of my high schoolmates "liked" a company suddenly out of the blue after a period of inactivity. The problem was my schoolmate died a month earlier.
now every time he applies for a job he will come up on the sex offender search
Apparently, in Oregon, the state constitution considers public nudity to be legal and protected as free speech, as long as there is not the "intent to arouse":

The proposed system, an insular nation-wide intranet that is isolated from the regular Internet, will be heavily regulated by the government. In addition to developing its own Intranet system, the Iranian government is also creating its own custom email service and a national search engine

Am I missing something?
Microsoft needs your money.

Maybe the father is some kind of religious loony^Wzealot or similar.
It's worse than that.
Dad is "a former philosophy major" who is "able to eke out a living" as "a nonprofit executive", per the article.
It is as big brother as it can possibly be
It's not Big Brother anymore, it's little snitch. - Robin Williams
Just ask George Lucas whether or not Han shot first...
Of what consequence will this new standard matter if the last mile is still stuck on beep & creep?
We're gonna need a faster station wagon!
It's news because it indicates that Microsoft's marketing department does not know of Osborne Computer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_Computer_Corporation

No official explanation of why controllers kept the mission going past the original duration of 270 days other than 'because we could.'
DARPA needed the extra time to ensure that the XB-37B would not get fooled by the Iranians' GPS spoofing.
....the more likely it is that you actually have nude photos (of yourself) worth stealing.
Why do you want to torture your kids with 40 minutes of grandparent gooing on the screen?
Because Grandpa is more entertaining than the teletubbies.
All this means is that Zuckerberg is a greater fool than Balmer. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory)
That is to be expected, since youth and talent are no match for age and treachery.
There is another hypothesis: he got lucky, he happened to be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right things.
In other words, Zuckerberg is Marc Andreessen 2.0.
Fast forward to now, and Zuckerberg is already a rich man,
on paper
now every time he applies for a job he will come up on the sex offender search
