He wouldn't have said that in '85, by '85 the board had ousted him from Apple. IIRC Sculley came in in 1983. Jobs left in '84, not too long after the launch of the Macintosh.
True, the quote is from 1983 and Jobs was ousted in 1985, I got them mixed up.
Steve is not really selling so much, he is only selling at most ten days of the year and not even full days, in fact he spends most of the days running a company where he oversees design and production of both software and hardware, that is not the job of a salesman.
I do not think Steve Jobs would be happy doing whatever makes him rich, remember what he said to John Sculley in 1985 "Do you want to sell sugarwater the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?" is a pretty strong indicator that Steve was not in it just to make money (but I wouldn't fault him if he saw money as something entirely positive). Jobs most likely sees himself as a visionary or an artist, perhaps even a philosopher, he probably is an "architect" archetype where he wants to leave a lasting legacy (see his Stanford Commencement speech where he hints at this).
It is because Drupal is module oriented, it has a very tight core built upon modules. One module to hadle users, one to handle paths, one to handlt translation of text string one to handle logs and so on. It is kind of like most *NIX systems where ls, sed, more, wget, ln, mkdir, grep and so on work together to form a coherent operating system. You need a programming language? Install a module. You need an audio encoder? Install it.
Granted, Drupal is developer-oriented, it is its weakness and strength. For end users who are understandably less willing to muck around with modules there are installation profiles that works kind of like Linux distributions.
I'd suggest the same with facebook too. I'm not too sure the legality of presenting 12 year old with changes to user agreements, misleading games that collect your info, etc.
That would be a big no-no.
Imagine telling Google or [insert email provider here] that they should delete their users messages every so often in the future.
Not only that, Thunderbolt is owned and controlled by Intel, Apple was and is a partner since the beginning but Apple has no control over how Intel will use/license Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt holds two 10 Gbit/s full duplex channels, so by your examples GP should have over 40% of the available bandwidth unused.
Running DisplayPort at 2560 × 1600 × 30 bpp @ 60 Hz will require significantly less bandwidth than your DVI monitor calculation (where is your link?).
How hard is it to understand the concept of no exceptions? Discussing a concept where a certain aspect of the concept holds no exceptions is no different from discussing the concept of a space elevator or star travel or quantum computers in available for chap to consumers. They are so non-existant today that the concepts in their context are nothing more than hypothetical situations. There is nothing inherently bad, wrong or implausible to discuss hypothetical future situations that are dependant on something that is not present today.
I look forward to you denouncing the concept of space travel outside the solar system because it is unthinkable by todays standards. I look forward to you denouncing the concept of mass-produced cheap quantum computers because it is unthinkable by todays technology.
I think one mistake (besides the power requirements) that people make is to assume "if you build it it will work from the start", the human brain needs over ten year to develop even mediocre common sense and awareness of its surroundings. We should not be able to just build the hardware, install the software, flip a switch and then expect the machine to fully function the first year even. A learning period for the machine is to be expected (though it might be accelerated to some degree) if it is going to work like a human thinks.
Why am I being modded as offtopic? Can anyone explain what in my reply was offtopic, this is the parent:
The organizers said that the software configuration was frozen a week ago. Nobody was allowed to do last-minute updates (like it was last year)
This is my reply
Chrome got to use the built in auto mechanism just before the contest started (source 1, source 2, source 3) which is probably why the contestant registered to try to beat Chrome did choose not to try.
Granted, there was a spelling mistake, it should have said "built in auto update mechanism" but why mod me down?

Maybe because Safari is the only browser that supports the -webkit-* features in that demo? Just because Mozilla is presenting the features in a more browser agnostic way does not mean that the "other demo site" has invalid claims to its features.

It's only used by ~1% of websites, AFAIK.
In other words it has about the same market share as all flavors of Linux combined (excluding Android), so we should probably be discussing this as often as various Linux flavors.

Do we call it a "fug" or "beature" then?

That would not be a big problem for facebook because you have to be 13 to use facebook.

They are as recyclable as any other PET bottle because they are made from PET. Dispose of them like you normally do.
Let me rephrase it then: There will be no exceptions. The end.
From my interpretation Scott Adams means everyone as in really absolutely no-exception everyone.

Don't worry. We will soon resume the normal Apple & Google schedule. Can't have enough of those though!

Why was Chrome allowed to be updated but other browsers not? What did Google do to deserve such special treatment?
Apple provides some API calls, for example apps can tag phrases and ask Parental Controls to suppress according to system settings.
Of course it is an adult app, kids get to use vi.
Exactly. Though you appear to be talking about parental Controls in iOS (Opera Mini), the same principle applies to Mac App Store and Mac OS X.
It is because Safari has hooks into Parental Controls and Opera has not, therefore Opera gets the 17 years old limit.
The open web specifically allows the use of CSS prefixes and user string matching. Damn you open web!
