So from everything I've heard and read about Monsanto, it is the epitome of evil and functions with impunity here in the US.
That Brazil would be the stand up (and win) against them is very inspiring and should set an example.
However to play devil's advocate, are there any benefits to a company such as Monsanto?
What? great logic, maybe you mean, "I believe the following do not track user behavior" but either way that has nothing to do with DNT, maybe you should go get some coffee and pay attention before posting.
this is sad, at one time Yahoo was the king, then they lost their direction, didn't read the changing times correctly, made some very bad decisions, got too big and lost focus, luckily we have google now, i'm sure they wont make the same mistakes (cough,...)
Say what you will about Perl (now at version 5) it has always maintained backward compatibility. (while adding new features)
A very annoying aspect of Python is that version 3 is not backwards compatible with 2.
Version 2 apps need to be rewritten to 3, depending on your code base and organization, this is a major PITA
There is/was a movement in Europe for this as well.
FTFA:It recommends revising current threshold values of absorption, while encouraging all member states of the European Union (EU) to “take all reasonable measures to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields.” And by reasonable, the proposal is advocating a ban on Wi-Fi and cell usage in schools
Yes, this is great in general (assuming they keep aiming for standards compliance)
Personal users benefit, developers benefit, browser competition benefits, etc.
However, I know many Corporations that have in-house applications that can ONLY run on IE6.
Often these legacy apps are extremely important for the company and are non-trivial to update to more recent browser versions. (or, the company does not have the resources to work on this)
For many corp's this will be an IT nightmare.
(however, I mean really, these Co's have had 20 years to upgrade these app and they have chosen not to, so at some point maybe a 'stick' is needed)
Funnily enough, System76 states that Ubuntu isn't even ready for a tablet.
Q: Any possibility of a System76 tablet?
Sys76: Despite all of the progress towards being a viable option for tablets, Ubuntu currently isn't ready for the primetime as a tablet OS. It has a lot of the fundamentals, but it's missing out on a few key points, like the lack of a software keyboard. There are solutions for software keyboards that do exist, but they are mostly designed for accessibility, rather than touchscreens.
Exactly. You know the saying there are 500+ channels and nothing is on.
For me TV is broken because I should be able to watch anything I want when I want.
I should be able to click on the TV and watch any episode of the original Star Trek (for example) at any time (it would also be nice to have a 'you may also enjoy', or 'related' to learn about things I may not be familiar with in the genre [or, perish the thought, new programs in development])
TV should be at my control 'for my entertainment', not treat me as a passive audience for what ever is programmed at whatever time.
(Yes, I realize this is probably not a realistic expectation. I am also aware of the wide array of recording devices, Tivo, etc as well as Movie streaming devices. (Roku, etc) I also realize that the blocker in my vision is more about licensing then technology, still, this is how I would like 'TV' to work)

What am I missing? what's wrong with TInyMCE or CKEditor?
Sophisticated bladelets suggest that humans passed on their technological skill down the generations
It seems odd to me there was ever a dissenting view from this, I mean what about 'standing on the shoulders of giants' concept.
Why don't you just tell him what you explained above
can reach notes as low as G-7 (0.189Hz),
G-7 is a chord comprised of 4 notes, G, Bb, D, F It doesn't mention that he can sing 4 simultaneous notes, I assume they mean a G note.

I believe none of the following track anything

This step will make Internet Explorer 10 the first web browser with DNT on by default.
define 'web browser'. I believe none of the following track anything

Everybody know's the when Al Gore was a congressman he invented the internet and with it, email
and Morgan Fairchild, "Yeah! That's the ticket!"
thanks for reminding me to not couple my personal duties with my interestes/domains/sites.
interestes and hobbies come and go, seems the easiest way to handle this is to never have to.

Why is it that every time I see a 'security' oriented blog, it is running on Wordpress?
