1) Your argument against CLI is a moronic volume mounting system designed explicitly to only be used with a GUI. Really, the whole C:, D:, E: thing was fucking moronic. The Unix scheme of mounting seamlessly as a folder under/, in a way which renders the underlying volumes invisible is far saner (which is, of course, an entirely separate debate from the merits of CLI vs. GUI, but a personal pet peeve with Windows).
2) Tab completion. I don't think I've ever typed more than 5 letters of a filename, of any length.
But by the same token, I can click and drag a file from a folder to the desktop, easily. Much 'easier' than typing it out on the CLI, and much quicker for most people.
Not saying it's easier for all people, but for most people, I can see where they're coming from. Sadly, I know alot of companies who don't want their admins to be the best, they want their admins to be the most efficient. They equate 'clicking' with quick, and typing out 'lines and lines of code' as long and arduous, and expensive.
Each Android device does have a unique identifier within/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
But what I want to know is who would install a screen backlight that has network access? Especially 'pirates', who are supposedly technically minded individuals?
There's a flaw in your argument. If a company makes a profit off of piracy, it's the same as a company using GPL'd code in violation of the GPL.
GPL doesn't care what I do with the code for my own personal use, but if I transfer my movie to my iPod without buying the movie all over again for the 'iPod version', I'm suddenly a criminal?
I actually think Facebook being down would make them LESS productive...because instead of working, they're constantly checking to see if Facebook is back up. Those farms won't...whatever they do with those things...themselves.
Well, unlike other TOR servers, where anonymity hides the server's location, it's pretty obvious who's hosting this server. The Government would just be like "Hey...stop it."
Because then that promotes someone buying 100 tickets at full price, and selling them for double. That takes away from 100 people who were going to be able to buy tickets at full price.
Does this mean that I can sue the companies for false advertising, as I am not buying the software, as advertised, but I am instead only buying a license?
According to the study, people with insecurities manage their image by hiding physical features or personality traits they don't like and putting forward only what they see as the best of themselves.
Maybe I'm missing something, but don't all people do this to some extent?
They only sampled college students? Wouldn't the results then be "insecure college students flock to facebook"? I don't understand what...
Narcissism and Self-Esteem on Facebook was written by York University undergraduate student Soraya Mehdizadeh.
Ah...now I see. A college student did this 'study' and found that she couldn't get a date....err...people are narcissists and full of themselves. It seems a bit odd that a college student studying college students that she likely knows is considered scientific.
"And the report also estimates that there are 5 billion cellphones in the world — though some people may own more than one."
Does this take into consideration that people upgrade their phones? If I upgrade my phone every year, does this mean, that according to whoever did that study, that I am the proud owner of six cellphones?
Just because that many cellphones exists does not mean that all of those devices are in use. I can't tell you how many old cellphones I have in a box somewhere.
People always think where they live is shit and that other places are better. I moved every two years as a kid, and no matter where I went, there was this majority agreement that "this place sucks", even places that I loved.
My Smartphone is safer than most PCs because most PCs run Windows. Windows is designed so that all programs share a common registry. The problem in that lies in the fact that just about anything can modify that same registry.
I don't see my phone (Android) having that problem. The only thing I foresee happening realistically any time soon is by means of social engineering, as opposed to other methods.
Read the title of the post you replied to. It's THEIR computers. The equipment belongs to them. Me monitoring my computer is completely different than me monitoring your computer. Therefore...I don't see what you're getting at with you're sarcasm.
The poster did a bad job of translating the article into his own words. The companies cannot use the social networking sites, such as Facebook, when making a decision about who to hire, and cannot fire people over content on those sites. But even that has conditions.
That would be like me saying I can't put a GPS on my car to keep tabs on where it goes when my son drives it. If you're on facebook at work when you should be working, I think the employer has a right to know about it. Also, no cameras? So they can't utilize technology, but they're still allowed to stand behind you and watch you work, right? The only difference between the two is the technology behind the first one.
6. Defendants, and each of them, are individuals and business entities who, upon information and belief, are acting in concert and active participation with each other in committing the wrongful acts alleged herein.
Now, by reading the legal document included in TFA, I learned that they aren't worried about people bootlegging the music (for once), but worried about selling t-shirts and stuff with the music festival name on it. Not as interesting. But unless every single person selling a "fake t-shirt" came in one big van and are working together, doesn't the bit above make it invalid?

Stop using what I don't like!

iPhone apps don't have to track your GPS data and sell it, when Apple will do it for you.

it will be monitored by a human before it's seen by other people.

Which is different than the Safari available for the iPhone?

The grass is always greener on the other side.

Here in metro Atlanta there's a place called movie tavern. It's kind of like a movie theatre / restaurant. They serve booze. Tickets are $5.
I think that's the only way I would have ever watched that movie (from what I've heard of it)...drunk as shit.
Opera is avaiable on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DSi, and a shitload of smartphones.
Opera is also available for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
He was the accomplice. (What a twist!)

Praying? Can I sue the Church if that prayer is ineffective? False advertising and whatnot?
The guy suing is almost as stupid as the idiot who sued McDonalds because her coffee was hot.

/ipconfig displaydns
Whoops. Meant ipconfig /displaydns
Or ipconfig /displaydns|more works well too.
