I don't see much of a relative benefit to quick booting when we have already had sleep/hibernate for at least a decade. It doesn't matter much how long booting takes with the latter, because you don't boot very often.
I used to have comments enabled on my Flickr photos, but jokers kept on leaving suggestive remarks about my wife (she's pretty hot, IMHO). So, I turned it off. When talking about this with a colleague yesterday, we came up with the "ugly kid" scenario:
Imagine you have a family site with pictures of your kids on it and some jerk writes, "man, you have ugly kids" on the sidewiki. What do you do? You can't remove it. Will it be filtered out automatically by Google with their so-called "quality algorithm"? Just because there will be no anonymous posts, don't think that people won't do things like this.
How are you going to stop someone from linking to your site from another discussion board, and making the same comments, or putting your site in a frame? If you don't want people commenting on things, don't put them in public.
Yes, exactly. I keep my 7-year-old iMac asleep most of the time, so that I have a completely usable machine in two seconds. As a bonus, it's exactly where I left it last, with all windows and programs still open. Rebooting isn't a common activity.
Can you coast with one? It looks like most have a direct connection between the pedals and the wheel. And what about putting a basket on one to carry groceries? That's my main use of a bicycle, for few-mile grocery store trips.
You must be new here; we only read the comments. Obviously the submitter merely used his time machine to see the comments made on his article in the future, saw yours answering the question, and realized he'd need to ask it in the summary to ensure you would answer it in a reply. Simple, really.
The fact that they've had to search this hard for evidence of water being on the moon is clear evidence that the moon "landing" was a hoax. After all, they would have had water on the lander, and thus brought water to the moon, giving clear evidence of it being there.
I couldn't help but laugh when looking at the screenshot comparisons. There are these magnifications of small areas showing the difference, all while one after another involves dismembered bodies and blood everywhere. That's fine, but a little symbol... unacceptable!
Corporations don't pay for employee labor; you do. They don't pay for the raw materials used to produce their products; you do. They don't even pay the rent for their buildings; YOU do. They're so evil!11!!
Exactly; by making it advantageous to use models that don't require photo alteration to look thin (since you then don't need a disclaimer), you simply expand the market for anorexic models and contract it for ones that need photo alteration. Nice way to try to eliminate anorexia, France!
1) This two-dimenstional photo is an alteration of the model depicted. The actual model exists in three dimensions and has volume, unlike this photo. Do not attempt to reduce your volume to zero, as it might affect your health.
2) The photo of this model is only 7 inches tall. The actual model is over 5 feet tall. Do not attempt to reduce your height to only 7 inches, as it might affect your health."
Yeah, your point is that marketing people are intelligent, but lack a conscience. Not that all programmers have one, but at least most do care about the quality of the product.
Fixed that for you (ignoring intentionally bad grammar). "Past" is correct there.

Then I replied with my "fix" of "passed", in keeping with the original mistake of using "higher" instead of "hire". And finally, you replied thinking I was actually correcting usage.:)
I am reading the Boston Globe site, for which I pay (essentially) nothing. I am accessing this site via a Comcast connection, for which I pay waytoofarkingmuch per month. Yet I get a huge benefit from the Globe, information that is directly relevant to my daily life. From Comcast I get nothing but the passing along of the signal. There is something wrong with this picture.
So if the Boston Globe wrote the stories but there was no Internet, they'd be just as valuable to you, even though you wouldn't be able to read them without paying for printing and shipping? I just don't follow your logic that the information carrier is any less important than the content producer. Comcast may suck, but "passing along of the signal" is important.
Hence the industry push to move from BGA to CGA on high pinout packages for the greater robustness in handling thermal stress. That change alone would solve their problems.
Wha??? I know retro is big, but releasing a modern game console with CGA graphics?!? It may not generate as much heat (what's that, like 1/8 the number of pixels), but sheesh.

Don't worry, they've been waging a decades-long war against that one too. Maybe they'll have more success against this one...
But it didn't have to carry all the now-required safety and pollution-control features. Those add weight and inefficiency.
Taxes aren't capitalism, they're statism. And the taxes in the USA are to the extent that it's more like socialism.

In other news, the emperor is demanding that the child who pointed out that he lacks clothes be the one to pay for them.

Sure it is! I've got a similar system for turning on lights in my house:
Granted, mine doesn't detect nuclear radiation, but that seems unnecessary. After step 3, the lights automatically turn on.
You want her boobs miniaturized? Maybe that's why your example is purely hypothetical...

Well, Linux beings are just a bunch of daemons bound together, after all.

I see a bigger clue, actually.
Too much coding. Just add "Note: apply this operation TWICE to recover data". Then we don't need to modify any code.
So all of the following are now illegal in Brazil, since they can be used to assist copyright infringement: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Filezilla, the cp Unix command, etc.
