If this law to track citizens' movement were passed in America, we would exercise our second amendment rights. We would tell our parliamentarians: Real this law or die. Government is there to SERVE the people, not to be a master. Politicians who desire to be masters need to be "fired" by their employers, the People.
I wish Americans had the testicular fortitude to do this. Unfortunately since, idk, the civil war we have been pretty trusting of government (even if we talk a lot of smack about Washington and politics). In fact, not only are we not willing to give an ultimatum to the Federal government, we keep electing politicians who ensure more of the same (albeit in different trappings sometimes). The only way something like this would ever happen is if the economy when to complete shit and you had large numbers of people (> say 30%) unemployed and the rest unable to live in any sort of comfort. Americans are just too comfortable to make real change.
One of the recent issues discussed on/. was that it was a huge security threat to have scripts able to turn off UAC without any notification. This is exactly what MS needed to do.
I really hope part of the spec is a sort of universal RTS signal, so even if several different networks in proximity used the same band, they would be able to play nicely. Of course, in crowded areas this would result in potentially much lower throughput, but at least it wouldn't totally hose any of the systems (and on a shared public medium, that's as much as you can ask for anyway, right?).
the reason to do this is to differentiate customers effectively, so they can make every sale, but still charge a premium from the people with money. If they sold W7 in only the full featured version with the full-feature price, a lot of netbooks would not even consider it, since it would double (or more) the price of the netbook. On the other hand, if they sold it at a low price (so it is an option for cheap machines) they would be passing up the opportunity to milk the people with money to drop (businesses, gamers, and people with more money than they know what to do with).
So they break the product out over a wide price range and take some features out of the cheap ones (and apparently add some artificial limits) to differentiate the products. Then they can sell to the people on a budget and still give a big incentive to people with money to pay top dollar.
The difference in revenue that this pricing model introduces is much higher than any relatively insignificant added cost in distributing multiple versions.
I suspect that you are right; The irony was that the post was meant to clarify one minor problem but simply confirmed and augmented it. But perhaps I'm just being pedantic.
is it me, or is that both a contradiction and a set of circular definitions?
cult != religion
but cult = (a type of) religion and religion = (a type of) cult
We focused on the ink cartridge since it is one of the problems when using a printer: it's often difficult to replace, costly to refill, and can stain your hands if mishandled.

2. Put the coffee or tea dregs into the ink case on the top of the printer
. . .
4. When the print finishes, pull out the paper from the printer and wash the ink case
Does anyone else think that putting used grounds in the little case and then washing it out each time you want to print something is possibly not the best way to solve the problem of messy ink cartridges?
This unique testing environment can be provided in an aircraft flying repeated parabolic trajectories which create brief periods of zero gravity.
Speaking of mental images, I cracked up imagining them trying to choreograph a fight sequence in such a parabolic flight: What happens as gravity returns and they are still floating in the air?
no but it does make for an interesting daydream. Just think how fast I could get my car going if it followed the new and improved version of the first law of motion!
It doesn't assume each one creates another of the same size. It does however assume that it is probable that some universes simulate a universe that is at least as complex/realistic as the one we inhabit (since it assumes that it is possible ours is generated). Further it assumes that each universe create a universe that is inhabited by intelligent simulated beings that are capable of at least enough technological development to simulate another universe, regressively. This seems highly unlikely: That each technologically advanced universe would attempt to simulate a similar universe is all well and good, but to assume that they will succeed is, I think, at best questionable.
What happens when UPS can do 1 hour delivery to most places on the globe?
How would they manage that? Take a scenario of shipping to the opposite side of the globe. The earth's diameter is almost 8000 miles. That means the package would be moving at least 8000mph. Over 10X the speed of sound. . . . if it can go through the center of the earth. And this doesn't include any of the overhead of sorting, and pickup/dropoff.

Yeah, this is bloody retarded if you are trying to get people to stay on the desktop.
Unless they also limit the number of tabs you can open in IE.

That's the reason for global warming! Shut down the windfarms!

TFA has a link to an internal PDF that describes the Gdrive showing up in Explorer as a g: drive. So it sounds pretty well integrated.

The only serious proposals I've heard involved using it to heat the building in which the machines are stored during cold weather.
Doesn't this naturally happen just by running the machines in the building?
"To burn this really hard to burn sludge, you really need to hit it with a sledgehammer, and that's what we have invented here," says Kotschenreuther.
I've been using a sledgehammer for years.
Maybe because atoms are stable and we can control their state using fairly traditional means.
Not sarcasm, BTW, I really am guessing.

I may have phrased it poorly; I was (mis)using it in the web hosting sense.
I was thinking of capping transfers, Like verizon does
yeah, screw putting it on the processor, just embed it in a coaster.
This compares to relatively healthy sales of the iPod, which were up 3 percent in the same period (though revenue did drop by 16 percent).
What does that mean? I thought they were the same thing.
that's why it's estimated that 10 million linux computer are infected.
Oh, wait.
