Why would you ever want to leave anything at home if you could take it all with you? Dump your entire music collection on one of these and you never have to worry about which 64GB subset you want to bring with you.
He actually explains it in TFA, but long story short, he wanted a server OS that was compatible with both software written for Syllable AND the vast body of server oriented software out there for Linux. The only realistic way of doing this was basically customizing a distro.
Replace 'server' with 'desktop' in each instance there and you have a fine argument for creating a Linux based desktop. Why was this argument convincing for servers but not desktops?
Free will is just as incompatible with a random universe as it is with a deterministic universe. Random events are statistically deterministic. We know that quantum events are truly random, and not affected by hidden variables (such as "will"), due to Bell's theorem. Free will is simply incompatible with what we know about physics.
Which is the real problem? The drugs or the border? Or the thugs at the border?

The reason was something akin to the fact that because the DA told the judge that Mitnick had the ability to call up NORAD and whistle in the phone and cause all sorts of havoc on our defense system, part of his sentencing stipulated that he be kept away from telephones.
This is the reason prosecutors should not have immunity. Solitary confinement is torture. DA tortured Mitnick based on a completely implausible rumor. Both the DA and the judge that signed off on it belong in jail.
And, of course, when Tyler says we have told bug reporters we don't care about their bug reports, that's not actually true. He is suggesting that this is what it might seem like.
This is actually worse. If you're not going to act like you care about bug reports, don't tell people you do care about bug reports.
The point isn't to idle up to the light. The point is to be at the green light with as much speed as possible when it changes. If you're idling, you failed that part, so your idle speed doesn't matter at all.
Unless you misjudge the timing of the light and it turns green while you are still some distance away. Now the cars behind you are cursing your name for holding them up with your genius fuel saving methodology.
When the commute is crowded, there's a line at the red light. I have as long as it takes for the last car to pass through the light to get to the light. In my experience there's always enough time to speed back up and make the light right after the last stopped car.
They are all coordinated, so that if you drive at the posted speed limit, you rarely have to stop.
In this circumstance, the behavior of the fuel efficiency minded driver and that of the temporal efficiency minded driver will be identical. If someone is slowing you down, it's not helping their fuel efficiency at all, they're just stupid.
The earlier you decelerate the more likely you are to reach the light when it turns green. If you just engine brake, you're going to cruise right up to the light and then waste all your kinetic energy. Better to brake early and save that kinetic energy. Of course it's best to coast in if you can, but if you're close to the light and it changes you have to brake either way.
That would be nice. This hardware is still common, easily available, and has life in it yet if there is software support. It doesn't take much to run Open Arena.
Again, like others have said many times, this law only applied to children under 18 so it doesn't violate any amendments since you do not have the right to speak to other people's children.
Where in the First Amendment is there an exception based on age?
How many of those have to do with unauthorized access? Of those, how many of the victims are individuals rather than corporations?
The case you cite is just credit card fraud. No unauthorized access on his part. Most of these cases are related to copyright infringement. In fact, I can find only two cases of computer intrusion on that list. One is the round of of Anonymous they did a while back. Another is a disgruntled employee. 100% of the victims in these cases were businesses.
Now consider what happens when a business hacks an individual. The best example is the Sony root kit. Nobody went to jail for that.
So the OP was right. The Computer Fraud and Abuse act is only used to put individuals in jail. Crimes by corporations dont' count. Just more evidence that the rule of law means nothing in America.
The government is not monitoring you. Not because they lack the legal capability (though they do, and that is mostly, but not always, respected), but because they lack the technical ability. There are only so many analysts, only so much computer time, only so much storage.
They may not be monitoring everyone all of the time, but they are always monitoring someone. Going by what we know of the competence of these organizations, we know they make mistakes. Therefore it's reasonable to assume that they are always monitoring someone they shouldn't be.
In general however, unless you've done something that got a warrant issued for your information, the government doesn't care.
So your position is that warrants never issue for false causes? If you have a warrant against you it's always your fault?
I'm not surprised you have a hard time convincing people.
The point is not that you shouldn't be upset by these revelations. The point is that you should already be outraged. If you were in any way surprised by these actions you are terribly naive.
I doubt it. Eric Schmidt didn't get half of this coverage when he left Google. Job's cult of personality extends beyond technical or financial circles. He's a celebrity.
Prepare to see the superiority of mouse and keyboard controls demonstrated definitively.
Of course, we don't really need to see that because it's been done before. Quake 3 on the Dreamcast supported keyboard and mouse controls, and they made a huge difference. Network games between K&M players and gamepad players are totally one sided.

Yes, Microsoft. I will try your open source software, as soon as you port it to an open source OS.
The problem is that it's a conflict of interest for the US to both regulate and advocate for a corporation.

IBM always had good software to support their hardware. HP ships 344mb printer drivers.
They just sell them for scrap. Wouldn't you rather they go to a good home?
Find a collector to take them off your hands. There are guys at VOGONS or vintage-computer.com who would probably give you money for them.
I spent more than $20 on my Voodoo 2 setup. They're really nice cards.
That would be nice. This hardware is still common, easily available, and has life in it yet if there is software support. It doesn't take much to run Open Arena.
All those other legislators should be thrown out as well.
