Oh, I don't know. Perhaps because Representative Brattin, the bill's sponsor, and Representatives Koenig & Bahr, the bill's co-sponsors are all Republicans?
What's the alternative? A sound of some kind can be very useful when taking a picture - making it unique is also useful, and it doesn't really matter if kids these days don't know the etymology. Ditto saving - it's pretty much an entirely abstract concept these days, but it still needs an icon.
I've noticed a disturbing sharp turn to anachronism in the tech field lately.
There's been no "turn" - there's just nowhere else to go.
The summary leaves out the interesting part: IE8 is the latest version available for Windows XP. And there's no place that XP exists more than business, education, and government. This is Google's way to get sysadmins comfortable with Chrome in the workplace.
Having read the FA (hanging my head in shame (which is stressing my youvh yypinh dkilld) ), it looks like this is only touching upon the web-access apps.
Does anyone know if there are Google Appliance apps, similar to Google Search appliances? I know that I've run across Google search appliances on small & large scales (various gov-controlled, closed networks), but I've not seen (or recognized) any implementations of their apps on these aforementioned appliances.
It seems to me that affecting _those_ networks would really be turning the screws on XP.
"...individual German Typhoons flew against single F-22s in basic fighter maneuvers meant to simulate a close-range dogfight.
The results were a surprise to the Germans and presumably the Americans, too. “We were evenly matched,” Maj. Marc Gruene told Combat Aircraft’s Jamie Hunter. The key, Gruene said, is to get as close as possible to the F-22 and stay there. “They didn’t expect us to turn so aggressively.”"
I don't doubt this report. However, my understanding is that the point of F-22 is to conduct its engagements at long-range and avoid these close-range knife fights. If the threat gets to dog-fighting range, the F-22s have screwed up and lost their greatest advantages.
But even for those few of us who claim to be complete skeptics, belief quietly sneaks in.
Nope. Not a bit of it. In my experience, only believers believe that everyone else must secretly be a believer. The rest of us live a fact-based life.
I agree with you 100%.
I'm a rationalist, I've convinced myself that organized religions are man-made for the enrichment of their power-brokers, I know that there is no evidence for an interventionist god in the modern world, and I'm am certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that astrology, crystology, pyramidism, and their ilk are without basis in fact.
Having said that, I will move heaven (ha!) and earth to ensure that I wear my lucky jockstrap when i suit up for the game on Sunday mornings.
Blackberry - designed by untrustworthy Canadians Android - based on Linux which was written by communists iPhone - designed by Apple in California
I think by this logic it's going to have to go to Microsoft (unfortunately):
- Blackberry => Canadians => socialists => communists
- Android => Linux => communists
- iPhone => Apple => California => communists
- LatestMicrosoftPhoneSoftware => Microsoft => Washington => Confused With Washington, DC => Pentagon => DoD => Command Driven Economy => Shit.......Never mind.
Incidentally, what are the chances they'll just end up with an atoll? Would this land rush be damp squib?
Zero. An atoll is made up of coral, not volcanic rock.
I believe that answer is actually much greater than zero (possibly 1.00), depending upon the the allowed timescale. Coral atolls are formed on top of old volcanices.
From the last the last of the following links:
"In 1842 Darwin explained the creation of coral atolls in the southern Pacific Ocean based upon observations made during a five-year voyage aboard the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836. Accepted as basically correct, his explanation involved considering that several tropical island types—from high volcanic island, through barrier reef island, to atoll—represented a sequence of gradual subsidence of what started as an oceanic volcano. He reasoned that a fringing coral reef surrounding a volcanic island in the tropical sea will grow upwards as the island subsides (sinks), becoming an "almost atoll", or barrier reef island, as typified by an island such as Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, Bora Bora and others in the Society Islands. The fringing reef becomes a barrier reef for the reason that the outer part of the reef maintains itself near sea level through biotic growth, while the inner part of the reef falls behind, becoming a lagoon because conditions are less favorable for the coral and calcareous algae responsible for most reef growth. In time, subsidence carries the old volcano below the ocean surface and the barrier reef remains. At this point, the island has become an atoll."
Seriously, Microsoft saw that Apple didn't even get a wrist slap for it's anti-competitive behavior. So is it any wonder that Microsoft has announced no more plugins. No one else's software but ours. Sure, we'll gain an open standard that will likely be split and marred by three main compatriots (Apple, Microsoft & Google).
My apologies for dealing with your actual point(s), I'd just like to point out the irony (in a Morissette kinda way) of Microsoft being inspired by Apple in the use of anti-competitive behavior.
Kudos for making me smile on an otherwise bothersome day!

I'll wager we could successfully interbreed with Homo erectus.
Didn't Pastor Ted Haggard' wife breed with an erect homo?
