I think it comes down to the basics: pubic safety, rule of law, market structures, literacy, infrastructure, etc. A connection to the internet can certainly help, in some cases. But in no way is it a necessity. Lower tech solutions may be more robust and effective, e.g., long distance shortwave radios, packet radio BBS's, etc.
They taught us pubic safety in the military before we went to strange ports. It's important for everyone to know and will certainly increase quality of life.
You're not going to get modded down for that. You're not even doing a good job pretending to believe it. Since that seems to be the prevailing thought here on/. you will probably end up +5 I Agree....er...Insightful.
Disclaimer: I don't like or agree with the RIAA, but believe the problem is with the broken judicial system. The RIAA is just doing anything they can to stay in business, like any good capitalist business should.
They're paid to vote for it. Well, the Democrats are. Depending on the exact wording and how much it has to do with war and oil, the Republicans may be paid to be for it as well. Libertarians will hate it because no one is paying them.
Yes, yes, there's always one jackass who has to say this or something akin to it. Freedom is good for terrorism so let's become a totalitarian state. I love trolls.
I've had just the opposite experience with Nod32 at my day job. It's picked up things some of the bigger players (McCaffee, Norton/Symantec) couldn't find. It's also been incredibly easy to manage.
That said, I use Avira at my home based business and it's worked out really well for me. I've never tried to centrally manage it.
No, but if anyone reads much Techcrunch you'll know that there will almost certainly be a few dozen Twitter clients, and it will probably be the default browser homepage.
I can only answer one of those. There are so many serious leaks because people aren't being held accountable. Hang someone in the public square for it (figuratively) and make an example of them. Others will secure their data pretty quickly.
This is especially true in the medical field (I'm looking at you Allscripts). You can use IE7, but it breaks the dictation function and a few of the other add-ins.
You're missing the point. This isn't so that you can run Android apps, it's showing off a piece of hardware. The OS is beside the point (although I think Android is a good choice to show off the processor but that's more of a personal preference).
Learned TI Basic on it. Still works like a charm and I still break it out once in a great while when I'm feeling nostalgic. Still save to cassette tape when I use it.
I don't think non-profit means what you think it means. It certainly doesn't mean you can't make a profit (I know one that makes a tidy little profit every year). It just means that profit is not the motivator for the business. Usually it means that the organization is operating for the "public good". I'm sure they're chartered as a public service organization of some sort.
That's one reason. The other is the licensing that will come from this revolutionary discovery. Why pay to license a new process/technique/whatever when I already have one that brings in billions of dollars?
Can they do a wireless version though? I have relatively few cables in my house and I'd like it to stay that way. I assume there are more people like me in the world considering how many WAPs there are in my area. It's a fantastic idea and I'm sure it's a fantastic device. I just wouldn't have one without wireless access.
Someone is playing cholo music over the rock station in this area. I would pay the FCC to go in and take all of their equipment away (and maybe kick them once or twice for good measure for interrupting Bob and Tom in the morning).

I mean, I never progressed beyond the simplest multi-variable calculus!
Yeah, them multifunction-thingies are a bitch.

Crap. Apparently I accidentally posted anonymously. I hate it when that happens.

It's ok. I hate you too.
It's too bad meth addicts have fucked up home science for all of us.
I hereby release this and every other post I make today under the WTFPL.

No, he's got the right idea. Quit calling him names you putz.

Nothing keeps a man pacified like an occasional phone call, a cheeseburger, and surfing for a little porn.
Tell my boss that. He won't let me surf porn or make personal calls at work. Cheeseburgers are alright though.

I threw womprats at my TI-99/4A.

Not Red Bull. The Playboy Energy Drink? Once.

Tunecore works with iTunes as well. Has for a while now.

I would give up my 8 other senses, even smision, for a sense of taste!
