You can deal with high inflation, or deflation, as long as you know it will be consistent. If I know that there will be 30% inflation over the next 20 years, I can deal with that by borrowing at a 32% interest rate
Of course, that works only if the bank will give you a loan. That's the worst thing about inflation--the rich and savvy can cope with it, but the poor stooge scraping by is left stuck with cash that becomes worthless.
I'd call it more equivalent to Jon Stewart's Daily Show, except that it is of course a newspaper and not a TV show. They're satirical, but they're not making stuff up.
It can't cook my breakfast or wash my car either. I want my text editor to edit text; I'm not particularly interested in it doing everything. I have other tools for that. And who reads Usenet any more anyways?
Okay, how do you identify which posts are by the same AC? Because I sure don't see a way to do that. Being unable to determine who posted is rather the point of AC.
It is rather amazing how they can track everything about you down to what you had for breakfast this morning, but when comes to determining any possible negative information about their operations, why, they just have no idea.
Being able to break it down and say "i need an if-then here, and a loop here that does this, and is there a function that validates this or do i need to write one". At that point, looking up syntax or examples works great to learn new stuff.
Prolog doesn't really have if-thens or loops. In fact, the language doesn't have any traditional concept of program flow: you set rules and the Prolog interpreter will set its own course in satisfying them; you don't have any direct control over how it will do so. Looking up syntax for those constructs would be an exercise in futility; Prolog doesn't work that way.
I would submit that there's a difference between subtle bugs (which the few people who read the source might not catch) and blatant Trojan behavior (which would stick out like a sore thumb).
With 100% open source, most people won't read it all. But a few will. That makes it tough to keep any dirty work under wraps. Look at this article. Facebook's VPN is closed source, but the packets it sends can't be hidden from a determined user. Does the average user packet sniff what it does? Of course not. But somebody does, and the cat's out of the bag.
Only because people have repeatedly shown that they must have the pretty shinies, even if it completely compromises their security. And then they wonder why security is shit.
That's true. As other responders have pointed out, Apple maintains such strict control over their ecosystem that they don't have this problem, Of course, they're able to do this because they leverage the Apple fanbase.
Not Google's fault. Upgrade distribution is controlled by the cellular phone company that sold you the phone--and they mostly refuse to push the upgrades, because their slipshod "customization" makes it difficult, and because they want you to upgrade by buying a new phone.
Sorta. With Starter Edition, you don't have to pay subsciption fees but you're capped at level 20 (and, I think, one character). People can buy subsciption tokens and sell them in the auction house, as well, providing people with a way to play without spending real money. Both of these have been in place for years.
Blizzard is saying they're going to stand up some Classic servers, which should also provide access to the content that Cataclysm removed. That said, they haven't done it yet.
So how should I be interpreting what he meant? I honestly don't understand your argument. What population should I be looking at where Muslims aren't a minority?

Governments depend too much on their power to issue currency. Bitcoin will be made illegal before that happens. It's already happening in some places.

You know, you'd be more visible if you didn't post AC.

I would assume they were only partially fabbed, and interrupting their manufacturing destroyed them.

Well, kinda. If you know C, Java isn't hard to pick up. Haskell, Prolog or Lisp, on the other hand...
They're going to buy Weeping Gorilla.

Where have you been? China's had its own internet for years now.

How many even heard of Watch before this article? And how many have used YouTube today?
That's what I thought.

Because when you need bulletproof economic analysis, you should always go to a fiction writer.
