Richard Branson once pledged $3 billion of the profit from his airlines over ten years towards efforts to combat climate change. If his airlines didn't make that much profit, he said he would take it from other parts of his business empire. When someone checked up 8 years in, he'd managed to give $200-300k over those 8 years, and the forecast for the next 2 years was not looking good.
Two things to take away from this - 1) that Steve Jobs' 10s of millions is not bad compared to his peers, and 2) that so far Bill Gates has said he will give $500M for this particular cause, but what really matters if you're going to compare this with Steve Jobs' donations is what he actually gives out in the end. (not that I think Gates has as bad a record as Branson).
Fortunately I got mine issued in those last couple of months before they went RFID, but my wife's renewal is RFID-equipped so we had to get a faraday cage sleeve for it. Mine will expire soon enough that I'll probably also have to get a faraday cage sleeve soon.
You do realise that the information on the RFID chip in your passport is the same information that is in the passport, encrypted, and to decrypt it, you need the passport number and name, so you're going to need to have seen the inside of the passport already?
The last option would result in the current version remaining on user's machines. If a dependency for an update is not available, apt will hold the package back.
Even more so when you consider the question of how many of those 1 million units, were "sold" to their marketing division to give away to NFL and others for promotional purposes.
I expect the predominant use pattern for editors (in a console) is to be fired up to quickly to edit a file, save and exit, e.g. to commit files in source control. Longer term activity has moved out to the desktop and editors / IDEs running there - the likes of Eclipse, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Gedit etc.
And since that was an issue with Emacs around 20 years ago, emacsclient exists, to load the file into an already running instance of Emacs, but otherwise act as a console editor is expected to (hanging around until the edit is finished). But on any modern machine, Emacs starts pretty much instantly with a warm cache, and in a couple of seconds at most with a cold cache, so starting Emacs for a quick edit really isn't the issue you think it is any more.
...and if you'd looked at the preview, you'd have noticed that all it does is uses a
fixed-width
font
, no indentation or line breaks as you'd expect when looking for a tag for formatting code samples.
PS: where's the help link that tells you what "allowed HTML tags" are for Slashdot comments? I'm sure there used to be one, and I'm sure you used to be able to format code properly.
Emacs, like every other text editor I've ever seen, actually does (2). A tab character always indents to the next tab stop. By default, there is a tab stop every 8 characters. When all your tabs are at the start of a line, as is typical in a programming environment, the effect may look the same as (1), but try typing the following key sequence in Emacs, or any other editor which you think does (1), and see what the result is:
Microsoft misused Suns trademark with clear intent to poison the pool of cross platform Java Applets that were the focus of Java at the time by encouraging developers to use Windows specific APIs.
From the start, Google had its own ecosystem and called its VM Dalvik to differentiate it.
A big issue with security guards is licensing. It makes more sense to bring the janitorial staff under the company umbrella, unless California is happy with any old ex-con with a gun becoming a security guard and there aren't any licensing issues there.
Record company policies may have been the reason for Apple to use DRM in the first place, but it wasn't the reason they modified their syncing software every time a competitor managed to make their music compatible with that DRM.
Except they also have a lot of roads with 50mph, 40mph, 25mph, 20mph limits, and speed limit signs at intervals to remind people when the limit is something other than 30 or national speed limit (and sometimes even when it is those). Also I seem to recall (though it is a while since I drove there) that motorways and some other dual carriageways use explicit 70 signs rather than the national speed limit signs. On the other hand, a lot of the motorways around London, Birmingham and maybe other major cities are moving to variable speed limits with electronic signage, which makes a change easier (as long as they left room for a leading 1).
Micrometres are overkill as a replacement for thou. All that is needed is 0.1mm increments for most cases, as you rarely encounter tolerances less of than 4 thou, and if you do, you can go down to the 0.05mm or 0.025mm levels.

Is it though? Or are some humans allowing their nature to be influenced a little too much by Fox News?

They are extraterrestrial miles. Somewhere between a nautical mile and a terrestrial mile.
Or if you work on projects with different coding styles, use a .dir-locals.el file:
PS: where's the help link that tells you what "allowed HTML tags" are for Slashdot comments? I'm sure there used to be one, and I'm sure you used to be able to format code properly.
Or you can put it in .dir-locals.el to cover a whole directory (including subdirectories that don't override it).

The package manager was added back in 24.1. 24.4 makes it safe to use, by allowing packages to be digitally signed.
Perhaps as an indication of how irrelevant Flash has become, my first reaction to seeing that was - you misspelled NSFW.

Viking wines were made from berries, not grapes. So significantly less warm than "vineyards" might imply.
And if the Vikings did explore the Americas, they would have done better to introduce some olives, right?
On Brazil, you need to be care of flies landing on the typewriter and changing Tuttle to Buttle though.
Adding DRM to a file is not circumventing the DRM. If anything, it was Real Network's DRM that was being circumvented by the conversion.
I'm not sure if I'd call PSTN voice calls from the 1980's a "minimally lossy" format.
I felt that way about iTunes at least 8 years ago.
And China. Most pirated Chinese movies and TV shows are in RMVB format.
