How does being the owner of something entitle you to someone else being required to provide the means to destroy it?
That's what "ownership" means. You get to control it.
You can own a copy of a book and not have the right to destroy other copies. You can own the copyright to a book and not have the right to destroy other people's copies of it. I can't find anything on Nextdoor.com that describes exactly what rights come with "owning your content", but I doubt they only gave themselves rights to it that are subject to the users' approval.
Hooray Yahoo. Removing tabs from email because iPhone. I still have an old Yahoo account; I found that you can revert to the old UI and get back the option to open emails in separate tabs. However Yahoo really doesn't want you to do that: they disabled features in the old UI like auto-suggestion/completion of email addresses from the address book so that you will either use the new UI or just switch to Gmail already. I guess the new UI is much more optimized for advertising/tracking/revenue extraction.
On the other hand it's easier than ever to purchase and set up truly general purpose computing devices now, from an FPGA for your raspberry pi to a 20 gpu cluster running on an open OS and free software. Most people want a truly general purpose computing device about as much as they want to be able to reconfigure their car as a log splitter and a cement mixer.
Why? Because they managed to herd 36 recalcitrant states that did not want to be clients into a super jumbo IT project that is more or less working within a few months of its ORIGINAL deadline, despite attacks from congress, governors, and the meanies on Slashdot.
The Loser? Oracle, who couldn't create a health exchange website for ONE SINGLE STATE, a state that actually really wants a health exchange website, in the same amount of time. Oracle's Oregon site is projected to be working "after January".
Because Angry Birds at 90 FPS and 8x AA and 8x AF and....
No, I got nothing. I can see people buying All In One or laptop format docks for their phones though. No need to run an x86 port of android to run the android port of Word when you can just run an Android port of Word.
Not sure about Canada, but nuclear is pretty well subsidized in the US. The liability caps alone are basically priceless: what combination of insurance companies could write a $500B liability insurance policy? What utility could afford to pay for it?
I mind people mining data about me without paying me for it. I don't think it should automatically be illegal or regulated, but I'd like a "please" and a "here's your share of the loot". So how about:
A company with a suite of applications that tracks everything you do and then:
-spoofs the data other apps receive about you on your phone
-deletes cookies, proxies your IP addresses and google searches, etc.
-blocks all ads, etc.
Basically makes you absolutely useless to everyone - unless they purchase your information from the company. advertisers can also pay to have their ads whitelisted. The company turns over 50% of the revenue to the users that allow tracking and selective blocking of ads.
Only sharing revenue with users that register with an active mobile phone account, real residential address, and a $1 fee with via a credit card billed to the same address would cut down on farming of fake users. Google being willing, able, and strongly motivated to spend billions of dollars to crush the operation into dust might be a problem though.
He is claiming Bitcoins aren't property and thus can't be seized under federal law..
Catch 22: If he believes Bitcoins can't be seized because they aren't property then he can't believe that there was actually a seizure of his Bitcoins.
In the US, the right kind of riot can be extremely influential and alter the course of national politics overnight. See: Brooks Brothers Riot. The kind of riot where thousands of passionate people make a public stand on issues that don't affect their own salaries? Without being flown in on a corporate jet or being paid to attend? Not so much. That election pretty much predicted how rule of law would stack up against rule of man in the coming years.
those who need to be mobile or take work home with them. Those are usually senior staff. The minions use PCs.
You obviously don't work in the US or haven't been absorbed into the new economy yet. The only people who don't bring their work home with them are the janitors.
Matte screens can't compete in the BestBuy showroom: just not pretty enough.
Does anyone sell anti-reflective films you can apply to laptop screens that work the way the films on eyeglasses work - destructive interference - as opposed to matte surfaces?
I have no problem with being able to view two pages side by side... if they would still be readable with two pages side by side..
Exactly what I'm doing right now on one of the high resolution laptops mentioned in the summary: Yoga 2 Pro. Quite readable. I actually usually leave the resolution at 1920x1080 or 2048x1152; scaling issues and dealing with external monitors is still a bit of a mess at the native resolution.
If you use Word, Excel, Eclipse, etc. you don't get enough lines top to bottom. Even at 1080p. For many applications such as web browsing you have tons of unused white space on the left and/or right with 1080p, but you are constantly scrolling up and down.
For me the reverse is true: I'm constantly panning left/right in wide spreadsheets, and when I'm using Word I'm usually looking at two documents plus a web browser. With a wider screen I can view two of the three without overlapping so I can copy/paste pretty painlessly.
There are a lot of differenced besides resolution: the Retina is an IPS display, while other macbooks are still TN. Better contrast, higher brightness, better viewing angles, etc. Try setting the Retina display at 1440x900, match the brightness to your other macbook, and you still may prefer it.
With populations greater than 6 million per new state (N less than 7) I don't think they could make more than one Republican state without major gerrymandering - and Republicans aren't in a position to gerrymander California. California's representation would become more Republican (say 10D, 2R or 9D, 3R as opposed to today's 2D) but the senate overall could move from 53:45:2 to 61:47:2 (D:R:I).
On the other side I would agree that in my observations most woman prefer the happy lie to the truth so they tend not to fit in with logical pursuits...
If you believe that argument then you should also see women dominating the C-suite, sales, and marketing jobs at software companies.
Just out of curiosity: How many super-jumbo IT projects, whether the clients are public or private, are up and running within two months of the original deadline? If Oracle had taken the job wouldn't we be expecting the site to be up and running sometime in early 2015?

How many terrorist attacks which caused deaths or at least millions of dollars in damages in the US in the past 30 years were committed by anarchists?

Tantamount to many other government defense and IT contractors at any rate.

As well as for providing the grid and other infrastructure.

He's arguing that his bitcoins weren't actually seized? I'd think that would make him happy.
An "enemy of an enemy" is a much more reliable source: after all, there's only one degree of separation.
He is claiming Bitcoins aren't property and thus can't be seized under federal law. .
Catch 22: If he believes Bitcoins can't be seized because they aren't property then he can't believe that there was actually a seizure of his Bitcoins.
Bevel-less may add glare and may make the display more fragile but again: looks prettier at Best Buy.

Exactly the opposite for me: I spend most of my time looking back and forth between at least two documents. Wider is better.

A lot of peragrin's examples were launched before they were ready but well after the original deadline. Isn't that worse?
