1) a cowardly fear of getting grouped with the vocal asshole atheist zealots (they really annoy me, as who cares if someone else has a faith that guides their life in a reasonable way?)
2) I don't see any reason that a Deist interpretation of God is in anyway offensive to my view of the universe. As it is unprovable either way, I find myself unable to take a strong stance on either side of the existence of a creator that put all of our laws of physics and all of the energy/matter into place.
I don't feel that I am straddling the line between faith and reason, simply that I do not want to form an opinion that is untestable, and does not have an effect either way.
But I bet google loses lots of data. They certainly have had massive amounts of down time (by main frame standards).
search from 2 places, different results. They don't have highly critical data, so they can sloppily store and syncronize as needed. A liberty that Fedex does not.
which is funny, because I work with a courtroom display company, and they switched all of their presenters to using Macbook Pros, with virtual PC.
The document presentation software runs on PC's only, but they switch over to OSX for presentations. This is for the sole reason that Keynote handles tables better, and tabular data is a huge portion of what they present.
The Macbooks are generally easier to fit 2 15 inch laptops into a single case too, making it a simpler way to take a backup.
I am still willing to bet google wants to support the newest version, and versions that come out.
It would be a pretty big win for a netbook to be able to do all of the "internet".
and google is definitely down with flash as they use it for a lot of their apps (e.g. analytics), though I think they stick to older version when they work, and don't just default to the newest one out.
I would say the G1 is comparable at the very least, and I think the plan is way better.
I pay $65 + tax for 1500 minutes, 400 messages, and unlimited internet. I could for the same price instead get 1000 minutes with free nights and weekends, or 300 minutes with unlimited calls to 5 people.
Of course value may mean other things too, and T-mobile may suck where you are, but my understanding is I would be paying 10-20 more a months for a plan that suits my needs (800-1200 daytime minutes typical usage), my wife has the 300 plus unlimited to 5 people, and typically uses 50 or so other minutes, and hundreds to the 5. Hers I believe comes with free nights and weekends too.
I'm curious how X sucking effects me the end user?
I really don't see a distinct suckage in the windowing compared to OSX when using Compiz (and even metacity with compositing works great if you are interested only in moving around windows, though I personally like some of the scaling options).
It's not like they don't have a base to work from. We also don't know how long it has been in development, so saying it's too soon is a little hasty too.
Especially on ARM, which it is my understanding is limited to Flash 7. This would allow them to provide a more "real" web experience on an ARM netbook.
In "More Sex is Safer Sex", it is proposed that all patents be put into an open auction. This would allow for the true market value of an idea to be determined by the market, and for the inventor to get paid.
After the price is determined the government steps in and buys some percentage of them at the determined price and makes it public domain. As the entire value of the patent is in the ability to exploit it for higher prices without competition, theoretically the public would break even on the purchase (more taxes, lower prices on goods though).
The benefit would be that for the government purchased patents, anybody could use them, and various patents could be combined without complex negotiations (see HIV medicinal cocktail). It would theoretically be zero sum on the purchases, with innovators able to build on each-other much quicker, allowing for more rapid advancement, especially in fast moving fields.
I doubt it is very palatable, but it sounded like an elegant solution.
TPB, as a community is atually probably quite safe. Between DLing from trusted people, and the comments that warn quickly if it's a scam.
And I am willing to bet sites the TPB are a far bigger concern to the mdia companies that software. Of course my view is probably skewed as I run Linux, so have no interest in bootleg software.
Oblivion for example gets harder as you level up at some difficulties.
Want to beet the game, rush through the required missions before they approach impossible.
And I am not one for a level treadmill, but for a game with so much content, I really wish they required a little bit of it to complete the main quest.
Slashdot Mirror
I disagree.
I identify as agnostic for two reasons.

Anyone wanting to print it would need to license your copy I bet.

Like android does?

funny, not that long ago (this year anyway) 64-bit flash would insta-crash on youtube 100% of the time.
I would hardly call that a long time ago (even in computer software terms).

As long as women don't find out about jar openers I think we're safe.
They take space, but it does not leave the land unusable.
You can still farm around it and what not.

As there were still cars being produced with carbs into the 80's I don't see why we didn't get any of this later from anybody.
As this would have expired in 1984 there could have been a market for it, the inventor even could have started charging for services.
unless of course your password is 123456, as then it will be found instantly.
I don't know, port knocking starts to sound like a password to me.
stupid mods,
use your damned points to mod down my original erroneous post!
Offtopic?
This is funny.
Just like your gas tank can.
Awesome isn't it.
You appear to be correct.
Yet I appear to be "insightful", interesting.
I bet it is file systems with different block sizes rounding slightly differently, and an OP that does not understand.

Did you look at Switzerland?
They like American IT people and need lots of them.
When I was out and about in Zurich English appeared to be the common language (heard more often at dinner tables than French or German).
Newsweek would run special paid reports about device to improve fuel efficiency (think it used a magnet to atomize the fuel or some such).
I was quite shocked they would allow something that looked like a real article to soil their pages (I mean it was way out there).
scaled difficulty needs to be done right though.
Oblivion for example gets harder as you level up at some difficulties.
