Oh Pojut, I always waver on whether or not I want to friend you. I like your site and you can be funny on occaison. But then you pull a Your Mom with an Oh Snap and... well...
Oh there's no doubt that they'll be obsolete eventually, the question is really just when. Will there be a big breakthrough in the next 5 years? Or will it take 20, 30, 50?
When you look at investing in things like backups - or how to keep up with competitive standards - a timeline is good to know. You might get the cheap hard drive option knowing that SSD's will have matured in the next few years - or if it's going to take a long time for them to overcome hard drives, you might invest in something you know is going to last that long.
Well you can have the state sponsored system where the government is full of screw ups and inefficiencies or that free market system where the corporations are completely guided by what takes the most money from its consumers.
I mean, you're lucky enough to have the best of both worlds! They've even achieved the added bonus of the legal system working in their favour, and not yours.
King Henry believed (or claimed that he did) that his beliefs were morally and ethically correct - closer to God than that of the Church.
And as a side note, being able to trace lineage doesn't make the Catholic Church any more "credible" than the Church of England. I mean I could probably trace my family tree back far enough to find someone who committed a crime but that doesn't make me a criminal.
What makes it any different than the Church being run by the Pope in Rome, who sent many Christians to their death in fruitless crusades to Jerusalem?
It's easy to claim that the Church of England isn't a real religion when you look at the entirety of King Henry the 8ths character, but then you can't just turn a blind eye to everything the Catholic Church has done and claim it's all that holier.
All the different sects that form just show the power of human rationalizing. We pick and choose what lessons are most important to us and make sure we abide by them. For some people, they draw the line at abiding commandments, other people, believe that devout faith is required.
The Church of England didn't just come around because Henry wanted a divorce, it also offered some progress from the dogmatic views of the Catholic Church. It's not hard for people to attend a church that makes itself easier to attend.
"Whoever possesses any insignia... or any colorable imitation thereof... shall be fined... or imprisoned... or both"
Okay so I had to go and look this one up. Because there are so many...'s that pretty much all of the information is missing. That sentence fracture they chose doesn't even mention any government insignia's, at first I thought ALL insignia's were outlawed.
Anyways, so here's the full deal.
Whoever manufactures, sells, or possesses any badge, identification card, or other insignia, of the design prescribed by the head of any department or agency of the United States for use by any officer or employee thereof, or any colorable imitation thereof, or photographs, prints, or in any other manner makes or executes any engraving, photograph, print, or impression in the likeness of any such badge, identification card, or other insignia, or any colorable imitation thereof, except as authorized under regulations made pursuant to law, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Sounds like the law is basically there to stop people from posing as federal agents. Having the Seal on the website might make it easier for people to design replicas (and where better to find information than Wikipedia) but on the other hand, how would I know what an authentic FBI badge looks like if I've never seen it before, so how would I know if I'm dealing with an imposter or not?
That's funny - I thought you were going to mention PostgreSQL over MySQL because of Oracle's interesting takeover leaving the future of MySQL uncertain.
Honestly some of the best help online is online follow along Examples by tech experts who want to build a name for themselves. Couple that with the forums that get indexed rather highly and you can read up on a discussion about what you need to do.
I can't name anything specific because it all depends on the rankings this month. But self teaching yourself is as easy as entering "[what you want to do] Tutorial"
If anything confuses you in the tutorial, such as terminology, Google that! Need help setting up a compiler, Google that!
Though I probably shouldn't be plugging Google like that, I think any search engine will do.
Except that Google is not the one implementing this decision. Google could offer this service and no developer could use it - and everything would go on as usual.
This is entirely a developers choice - Google is simply giving them the option to implement DRM should they choose.
You know its surprising how much significant financial interest there is in other pathways than the one Google has taken, yet you don't see them abusing it.
Don't get me wrong, everyone has the right and definately should be wary of what Google does being in the position Google is in. (Great power, Great responsibility, blah blah blah).
But giving developers the option to use a DRM server for their priced apps?
You could say that, but I say they are searching in the wrong places.
If I had to choose between a mechanic who has worked on cars for 8 years or a mechanic who just got out of 8 years of schooling - I am going to pick the one I know can do it.
If you exclude people based on educational institutes and not education period - you deserve what you get. You only help the political and broken system stay exactly in place.
Your criteria in a job search should be "Can they do the job" - something that universities were great at filtering before the advent of the internet. Almost any career can now be self taught - but at least with computers you already have the tools necessary to develop experience without working in the field or going to school. I mean with accounting, how are you going to get experience with handling corporate finances without working corporately? However you can take any ratty old desktop and set up a web server at home - all for relatively cheap.
If you can figure out how to convince people to reject tribalism and operate in a completely rational manner
I've found the best method is to involve family. I've known people who were racist but once their brother or sister was dating someone of that race, they broadened their view a little bit. It's usually a slow process, but it helps them get past skin colour once they get to know the individual personally. Which tends to happen at a lot of family functions.
So - Mister Shuttleworth, if you can get your sleek and graceful Ubuntu women to date some strong and burly Red hat men, you'll find this kind of tribalism slowly disappear.

No no no, you see, its not a Jailbreak, its a Remote Code Exploit... straight from your browser.
Yes, that is a whoosh moment.
Poor Dumb *Explicit*s
This is the internet. Facts, spelling, and concepts are all optional.

That's what the SSD market does.

IANAL and this is not legal advice.
Where the hell did you learn to talk like that then?
Did you pass the bar but decide to go into computers? I can't even get through reading those papers without getting a headache.

I could think of much worse things to get aroused by. Especially with electronics.

Problem is - who is the house?
Most people would say the government, and then other people tote in and say the government is run by corporations.

That sounds like an issue with employers then, not universities.
I'm surprised you didn't use a Ruby on rails pun.
petty politics, sucking up to superiors, back stabbing and arguing over parking spots
I'm pretty sure fluffers have to deal with that to.
Especially the sucking up to superiors.
