The worker-slaves are doing a hell of a lot better today than 6000 years ago. Grocery Stores, Media, and Cars. Not that it makes our social structure right, but it is different.
Maybe Boston should worry about saving their city instead of saving a paltry quarter million dollars on a stupid exchange system.
Because their email system caused or allowed the bombings?
If we used the "why are we doing X when we have not cured cancer / stopped war / my favorite issue" argument for everything... then all of humankind's effort would be placed into a single thing... leaving us without food, housing, clothing or electricity.
We believe the citizens of Boston deserve cloud productivity tools that protect their security and privacy. Google's investments in these areas are inadequate, and they lack the proper protections most organizations require.
Marketingspeak as usual, as Microsoft's investments in these areas are worse than inadequate... they are nonexistant.
It is still the job of the police to prevent your house being robbed, even if you do a poor job of locking the door.
This attitude in IT of "well, if you didn't secure it properly, you don't deserve to keep it" is just childish victim-blaming.
The police do not prevent crime, they deter it by catching and making sure the perpetrators are punished.
While it is a similar concept, it is a fine line. Just because the police exist does not mean one should not bother protecting themselves. You need to help the police help yourself by not making their job impossible.
The US can always rebuild its manufacturing base and build its own stuff as it once did. Of course the corp profits would be lower, but so would US unemployment numbers so everyone wins?
I believe the US Corporations would rather run the US economy into the ground before giving up any profits.
Good point. i would say that it wasn't the fact that the military could not achieve a political goal in Vietnam, but rather, there was no goal, or at best continually shifting goals.
I've activated over 150 PCs I built, XP through 7, so if this guy has had nonstop issues activating all the OSes there were, he doesn't know what he's doing. Don't activate THEN install 10 device drivers. That will cause a hardware lock morph that unactivates it. Everyone knows that. Don't download a fucking crack for any OS. They all fall apart eventually. What a complete idiot. Buy a real copy of Windows 7, put it on, activate it, the end. I have never, ever, ever had a problem with a non-big company OEM license ever and I rarely have problems with them either.
Yeah... how dare he buy new hardware for his computer.
Where the heck do you see it for $40? I would agree that it is a fair price, if the thing wasn't universally reviled, but I have not even seen the useless upgrade edition for under $90. The thing that drives people to pirate is that when Microsoft saw Windows 8 was becoming a bust, they jack UP the price of Win7. I dont care if it is the OEM's are driving the price hikes ore not. The customer is just going to believe that the OEMs ans Microsoft are in on the scam together. (and they are) I know there were retailers charging extra to install WinXP back in the days when Vista was released for the same reason.
And before someone out there in shill-land gives me a sob story over hardware compatibility and testing... I ain't buying it. The PC OEMs do not give a moment's thought to it, it is all up to the device vendors to release compatible drivers. And they will release drivers for as long as an operating system remains popular.
Err, wait you said not better, sorry about the flame. So mariadb is not better because it is in a repository? (honestly I cant be arsed to check on a debian machine) Crappy old version of postgres are available from the default repositories that people stick with for stupid reasons too. Now I am totally confused.
Because a sysadmin should be choosing how an application is built, and not architects and software engineers?.... and because postgres isn't available from repositories?....

If we can slap 'on a computer' onto an old idea to patent it, can we slap on another 'on a computer' to patent it for virtual machines?
Yo dawg...
Bingo.
Bullshit Bingo?
Because they will release reports on how many calls come in. Be afraid, citizen, be afraid!
Considering this is Florida... Instead of Big Brother, this can be called Paranoid Granny.

"Big Pharma"... more like "Big Farm, eh?"

For a disguise, use an old scratched up hardhat.
Nobody will question a person wearing a hard had and an orange vest.
it'll be just like a porn site, only without the porn.
You must not have any teenagers on your friends list.

Wrong. BT will charge you "extra" for a non-crippled internet line.
So, they roll out IP6 and charge extra for an IP4 address.
Good point. i would say that it wasn't the fact that the military could not achieve a political goal in Vietnam, but rather, there was no goal, or at best continually shifting goals.
Yeah, I am with you here. It was more of a rhetorical question.
I really don't think people understand this concept. Maybe it is all the stragedy video games.

Instead what we will get is:
i) Stop tax avoidance and evasion - for individuals only - being done here
ii) Find the government coffers are suddenly flush with cash as it is taking in much more revenue.
iii) Give more money to corporations in the form of subsidies and bailouts.
Why?
As a primarily Java developer... I ask the same question.
Why?
"Ma" and "pa" are such basic sounds made by babies (called "Lallwörter", babble words) that parents all over the world associate them with themselves.
Except for where they don't, like Japan, the Iroquois, and similar disconnected cultures.
More than you might think.
"We are Indians! We have teepees!"
Sometimes I wonder if they are just fucking with us for the fun of it, either way I keep going back there...
Who, the time travelers or Thai?

I would posit that the "goal" of a war is always defined politically. Otherwise, what is all the fighting about?
