If these IT monkeys really wanted to remove the most targeted attack vector from their "users" machines they would replace "Windows" with something secure.
Actually if they wanted to remove the most targeted attack vector they would remove the users from the machines.
Well thats different. That means your parents were still feeding you, and you could quit if you had earned enough for the stuff you wanted, or if the boss treated you badly.
If you are a child that has to work so he can earn enough to eat thats pretty fucked up. Why you might ask? Because children are easy to take advantage of. You can place them in the dirtiest, most dangerous job and make them work, otherwise they wont get fed.
Jesus did you people not pay attention in American History class?
We fought this fight a long time ago. We did away with "child labor" aka child slavery for a reason.
They may still hold a trade mark, but I'm guessing they dare not try to enforce it after what happened last time.
As early as 2002, a court rejected Microsoft's claims, stating that Microsoft had used the term "windows" to describe graphical user interfaces before the product, Windows, was ever released, and the windowing technique had already been implemented by Xerox and Apple many years before.[4] Microsoft kept seeking retrial, but in February 2004, a judge rejected two of Microsoft's central claims.[5] The judge denied Microsoft's request for a preliminary injunction and raised "serious questions" about Microsoft's trademark.
The last time they tried, they had to buy off the people they sued.
In July 2004, Microsoft offered to settle with Lindows.[6] As part of this licensing settlement, Microsoft paid an estimated $20 million US, and Lindows transferred the Lindows trademark to Microsoft and changed their name to Linspire.
Well when I consider the cost of a cd, I also take into account not just the pressing and shipping, but the stocking, displaying, and selling of the cd. They are also removed from the equation, which saves on space and labor costs.
You do have a point that it really isn't that expensive to make and ship a cd though. I tend to think it was overpriced to start with.
Well last I hear the ozone layer was clearing up, and considering the number of countries that have yet to ban CFC's, I think it is more important that people get the opportunity to breathe.
FDA should fast track the other inhalers, and the EPA should hold off on the ban until they are available. People WILL die without access to inhalers, Another year of cfc's is a drop in the bucket, and there is no evidence that it will kill anyone. Hell they have been warning us about the ozone layer for at least 15 years now, and no one has died yet, another year to get a medicine to the people wont make a difference in the long run.
NOTE: I am against doing things that destroy our habitat, but this seems like a situation that could be better handled. I consider myself a nature lover, and dont want to see the earth get destroyed by our actions. This will do relatively little to the environment and will prevent people from dying. Time to weigh the costs here.
They want to sell me the same movie multiple times, one for my tv, one for my computer, one for my phone.
I do not wish to buy it multiple times. The MPAA should consider themselves lucky when someone buys one copy and puts it on other devices, instead of just getting it from the pirate bay.
The cost is almost negligible to distribute the movie/music online. The price of the product should reflect that. It does not.
I refuse to consume their wares because of this greedy attitude of theirs.
This is going to undo mods.. but WTF does your home connection have to do with peoples phones' connections?
That 30GB is 15 times what the average phone user gets, so if your tethering, you only get 1/15th the data you would at home. Then if you go over at home its what a dollar a gig? With phones its a hell of a lot more expensive. Its ten dollars a gig.
Your capped home plan has little to do with a caped cell plan. and 2gb is a hell of a lot less data then the 30 you use at home. Capped at 30gig might just suit you fine, but 2gb isnt really that much data a month.
You face has been scanned and entered in to a database that will be used for a new feature.. auto tagging.
Maybe not yet, but I think its the logical outcome. So while the bots crawl facebook and tag every picture, you get to manually crawl facebook to untag them.
Built up a strong one on myspace, didn't pan out, wont do that again.
All I got was headaches and annoyances.
I don't have a facebook page and I had no prob landing a good job. Employers appreciate good references, not lotsa friends that you never talk to and don't really know. Frankly I think HR is prob more interested in weather or not you can keep private stuff private. Which with no facebook your doing good.
Similar to British law, in the United States jury nullification occurs when a jury reaches a verdict contrary to the weight of evidence, sometimes due to a disagreement with the relevant law.[1] The American jury draws its power of nullification from its right to render a general verdict in criminal trials, the inability of criminal courts to direct a verdict no matter how strong the evidence, the Fifth Amendment’s Double Jeopardy Clause, which prohibits the appeal of an acquittal,[2] and the fact that jurors can never be punished for the verdict they return.
Yes, but you could purchase and run your own machine for two years straight. Even if the machine is only a quarter as fast, you'll get twice the computations out of it.
Ohh, BTW. I said that your comment made you sound like a paid shrill. I never said you were one. I never said I thought you were one. I was telling you how your comment was interpreted. I didn't even mean it as an insult, it was more of 'Hey, you know how that came off, right?'
Don't know if you know but in the military (government job) BAH (Basic allowance for Housing) and I think BAS (Basic allowance for subsistence) are based upon zip code. The ones near NYC get paid WAY more then the rest.
Not saying thats wrong.. just wanted to clarify that.
Hmm I wonder if the College has a datacenter already. You know, so ya dont have to worry about the overhead. Ohh and man hours to configure the thing? You know I'm sure there are a load of students there working for free.
This is NOT some company trying to spin up a new service. This is a school doing a project. That means shoe string budget, and the people get paid with good grades in their class.
4000 pounds wont get you very far at all on Amazon.
I love it when people take the question given and then insist that the problem can only be solved by changing the specifications to using "cloud" computing or some other nonsense. It makes you guys look like paid shrills.

The air has been exceptionally cold up there? Where is all that global warming everyone is speaking about?
Texas? Good spot for it IMHO.
Drive-thru colleges create drive-thru public defenders.
Quantity != Quality
Because you wanted things?

An ipad is alot of things, a PC it is not.
SO much more fun when you pull the plunger yourself.
Continue to supply hard drives and they might let you.

Bravo.
Yea, whatever.
I retract my statement, I did not know that onstar belonged to GM.
No, its OnStar you ass.
Place the blame where it belongs.

How much CFC do you really think is in there?
I'm all for certain types of regulations, but this one is just stupid. Why doesnt the FDA encourage the use of a different propellent instead?

In fact get the word out, perhaps someone you tell will be on a jury that matters in these types of cases.
Yes, but you could purchase and run your own machine for two years straight. Even if the machine is only a quarter as fast, you'll get twice the computations out of it.

Laws against being antisocial is akin to tilting at windmills.
If you hold your memorial in a public square, your going to get the weirdos.
These were public pages, they should have known better then to make them public. You don't like the trolls, make it a private page.
