Maybe it's the ad department but nobody overpays for anything involving web or database work at this point and Facebook is not underpaying any of their ad targeting algorithm makers.
I want them to be able to learn about the Internet yes, news, information at your fingertips. However, most of all I want them to be able to do the things that kids want to do in a somewhat controllable environment. There are a number of websites that offer games based on word, number or letter recognition. I want to make it easy for my kids to get to those. I don't want them finding be-headings of journalists in the Middle East or anywhere else. I can set them up with Windows but that wasn't the question.
What Linux distro is actually appropriate and usable for young kids?
I really thought this was an interesting question and followed it the throughout the last day, clearly the answers "rising to the top" so far are not curent. Most answers so far have been about "why" and even that is being kind to the sarcasm presented so far. Part of the problem here is that it seems that nobody that's responded so far started their career after 1980 and that's either a sad fact about the business or something that Slashdot should note. Personally, I started writing BASIC in a high school class as my first exposure and then worked in C initially in college before moving to C++. Later in school assembly, Java, and PHP were used and then afterwards I added purpose specific languages like OpenGL, Javascript, "Flash/ActionScript", and JSP/ASP/Python(yes, I include Python there as that's all it's worth).
The more worthwhile answer to the question though is that I learned "how" to program, meaning algorithms, style and debugging in my second and third years in college at U of Michigan.
So what? They're covering themselves for when somebody uses them coordinate something illegal, a drug drop spot, a robbery or heaven forbid a terrorist attack. Who cares, Twitters's a fad technology with less usefulness than direct mail...which the irony of to those pushing it can't be lost on... The concept is e-mail via the phone...which is an electronic letter which is....
He just saw a ship going down? The types of conflict-of-interest here aren't exactly rare in the Fortune 500 board member world. Regardless, this should be noted as a far larger loss to Apple than is being written about at this point.
No, the issue is that to justify their claims they're going to expose numbers that are going to infuriate their product(artists and writers). They can't burn that bridge and it's worth more than a single copyright/sharing case and possibly all of them. Of course this assumes there's a disconnect in what they'd have to show as evidence to support their loss claims and what they've cited when paying their talent...would like to set up the over-under on that difference or shall I?

13.4% are idiots. I failed the dumb test on the subject line apparently.

All you need to think about is the topic sentence "Trust an Insurance Company's 'Drive-Cam?'" and the bold part is all that matters. The answer is no.

Sadly, that'll never happen - this case will be dropped and swept under the rug with all the vigor others have been prosecuted with.
