Haven't you ever said "can't" when more proper English would be "won't" or "shouldn't" ?
Can I have a cookie? No, you can't.
Oops, "can't" apparently means "no, legally I can not" according to you.
It could just be that Obama meant: "I can't (in good conscience) pardon somebody who hasn't gone before a court and presented themselves, so that's not something that I would comment on at this point."
So... you are saying that because Obama isn't going to pardon Snowden, he is phoning it in?
People put WAY too many hopes into the role of president. You are only setting yourself up for disappointment if you do this.
The president has 0 power to do most of the things that people apparently think they do.
I have heard from at least one historian that the term "president" was chosen specifically to symbolically show how little power the office had. No other country at the time had a head of state whose office was referred to as "president".
Funny thing is, since that time, I have been more interested in looking to see what other people are using and I have seen more Windows Mobile devices in people's hands than I would have thought. My rough estimate is 1-2% of the people I have seen on public transportation have Windows Mobile devices.
you're funny, I wasted 2 hours yesterday downloading hundreds of megabytes of "drivers" for my relative's windows box (3 driver all total). Windows didn't have the "drivers".
I don't have to do that for my Linux and BSD machines.
Unless you want to run the closed source drivers anyway. And that is only if there ARE closed source drivers. I recently ran into catch 22 hell when I tried to get the b44-based driver installed on an older laptop while at my mom's place (no access to other computers to download the driver from). I ended up having to scare up a network cable and sit in the basement next to the router while I got the driver downloaded and installed.
So, yeah, not exactly the "hundreds of megabytes" problem, but to say that Linux (or BSD) machines don't have driver issues is being a bit disingenuous...
Making a desktop look like Windows 10 is hardly the requirement for a replacement. Can it run Windows software, or replacements for them in a way no other linux distro could? I think we know the answer, hell no.
Besides, it won't screw up your computer like genuine Windows does on updates.
Pfft.... ever try to do a dist upgrade on an Ubuntu box? I give it.... 60% chance of working flawlessly. 20% chance of working OK. 20% chance of making you say.... fuck it! I'm restoring from backup....
Better to jump through the hoops you need to in order to CHANGE your e-mail address is Blizzard's system.... That, at least, will be a one time deal.
After that... use a gmail account which you also pull down via IMAP to a local server or another online service (so you have 2 copies of every email). This is what everyone does, isn't it?
Consultant 1: Yeah... but what about the highway we built which leads directly to the port? Ever think about that? Consultant 2: I thought of that, smart guy... we simply build lots of turrets... Consultant 1: Automated turrets? Consultant 2: Oh, hell no! You really think the Empire will spring for that kind of cost? I mean... they didn't even go for a basic security system on the trash compactor, a galactic code requirement on death stars I needn't remind you!.... someone is going to get hurt in that thing, mark my words.... Consultant 1: I see your point.
Well.... you could.... If you don't fix your car then you have a rather large, relatively expensive and utterly worthless piece of junk sitting in your parking space.
Slashdot Mirror
Pretty much...
LOL, yeah, after proof-reading, I figured I should put a definition of DNC for this context.
Wow, carbon copy experience here.
Thanks for the clarification.
Ah... you are a Klingon developer.
Your code does not have bugs. It has features which leave a bloody trail of carnage in their wake.
I wrote a text messaging campaign interface at one point which was used to snipe magazine subscriptions... not super proud of that.
However, I did make certain that the DNC (do not call) databases were honored and texts of "STOP" were correctly inserting numbers into the DNC.

Form of: dinosaur!
Or that he (Trump) settled the Trump University lawsuit in order to better focus his time on the country.
Ok, one down... Now, how about Trump also suspends all of his other business dealings to better focus on the country.

I recently made the move to Android myself.

Make some icon changes and they won't even know it's not Excel and IE.
In the same way people can't even tell it's not butter?

Sounds like this QNX thing has a built in security system...
What amazed me is this news:
Routers are access points that connect laptops, iPhones and other devices to the web without a cable
Oh... THAT'S what routers are.... I have apparently been holding mine wrong this whole time...
I was a skeptic until I read this:
First, it’s based on microkernel architecture
Ok... say no more... I am convinced!
Second, there’s its built-in security system
Woah.... slow down! Here's my money! TAKE IT!
Third, everything has been built from scratch
I am not sure how I continue to type this with and exploded head....
Reports of MS claiming patent infringement of the kernel in 5....4...3...
Next thing you know, the govmint will require news sources to fact check!
you literally can't do worse
Well.... you could.... If you don't fix your car then you have a rather large, relatively expensive and utterly worthless piece of junk sitting in your parking space.
Apple isn't using all the potential of a crucial component in the Verizon version
Oh! Is it the barometric pressure sensor? It's the barometric pressure sensor isn't it?
[...] Apple's suggestion that it is caused by repeated physical damage [...]
So....this is a disease in the same way that blunt force trauma is a disease?
I, for one, welcome our news bearing overlords...
