Technically, hewing to originalist principles of limited duration of copyright in the US is a very conservative position. One might even say reactionary.
Ignoring their principles and pandering to well heeled lobbyists is a conservative or liberal thing only in partisan fantasy-lands.
Both sides need to grow a pair when dealing with Disney, et al.
a webdeveloper and website owner and I really, really, really don't care about people who don't have Javascript enabled. I'd rather give the rest a great experience and I don't want to spend time and resources to provide a fallback.
Off mark.
Railing against folks because they value the security of their system is angsty and irrational.
You don't need to provide a fallback for non script enabled visitors (though it is appreciated when I site does provide non JS fallback), you simply need to allow them their broken access, they are fully aware that most sites are broken in various ways without scripting and willl turn JS on granularly as needed.
You don't spend resources, they don't get pwned. Everyone happy.
Companies can avoid the stick - there is inevitably an opt out provision companies can implement within their environment for updates like this.
Enterprise maintained machines generally aren't accessing Windows Update automatically anyway and use dedicated patch management tools (McAfee, Symantec, Bigfix, et. al) or implement W(S)US internally.
Not that IE6 it matters too much - The majority of windows shops should be past IE6 dependency these days one way or the other with Windows 7 (IE8) rollouts. Maybe MS is just trying to avoid having IE8 stick around for a decade:-)
I take anecdotal sales impacts with a lot of salt.
There is one ray of sunshine as cases and counter cases fly.
When Apple wins, they don't benefit much, and the competing ecosystem doesn't suffer significantly. The damage they are doing to a whackamole competitor isn't going to gain them much in sales since people who aren't buying an iThing are generally going to switch to one of the alternative non-iDevices.
When they lose however, all their competitors benefit. There is no alternative to current model iPad or iPhone, those dollars go to a competitor.
Of course Apple has money to burn, and this asymmetry has no doubt been considered and the decision made that it was worth spending 10:1 in legal costs against lower margin competitors.
Sadly true, however that's the configuration I would care to see evaluated as well.
If there is a more secure browser configuration than this...while still remaining reasonably usable...I'd like to hear it. (I have played with various Chrome, IE, and Opera versions and configs over time, this one remains my preference to date.)
Just multiply/divide out the last digit to see which of the two obvious choices. Though in fairness that's the only one I didn't do in my head, i was lazy and popped up calc for it.
How you did: Great job! You got every question right.
- reasonably inexpensive
- short-mid range capable (long range not required, i have a regular car if needed)
- charges on house current (prefer all-electric)
- reasonably road safe
- can still keep me reasonably warm in winter (cool in summer a plus, but not as important)
- has a radio
-some cargo/passenger room would be nice to have since the grocery stores are only a few miles away
- Doesn't really need to top 45mph, I'm thinking train commute (back-roads, grocery run, maybe occasional kid pickup from school)
Appearance is not a major consideration.
Really what I need seems to be in a sweet spot between CEV and general use passenger car. Is there such a thing out there? Am I missing something? Economics still seem to point to cheap gas vehicles (which is vaguely annoying).
Just make modding history visible per user, after all one needs to be logged in to mod.
If it is open to see to everyone that RandomUser always mods up/down certain opinions, it is at least clear that a trollmodder/astroturfer is active. (I did not check if there exists somebody with the handle RandomUser on/.)
Every single day. On the long trainride to/from work, in the can, as a quick and dirty hotspot when needed, as a backup for my home internet when the cable goes down, as a halfway decent game platform, watching netflix (until 3.1 broke it...mutter...) to IM back and forth with the wife and kids, handy camera, general internet browsing, reading mail, and reading books and magazines with Kindle and Nook software etc.etc.
It is a form factor that (unlike a laptop) is actually viable to haul around with you just whenever.
if you CUT federal salaries I don't see how you can manage to keep any competent employees. You already make about twice as much by working in private industry.
Private compensation has been stagnant for years (yes this is all sweeping generalization, just insert the usual caveats) and effectively backwards for the past half decade with inflation, while government employees continued to receive job security, nicer benefits, guaranteed pay raises, and cost of living, destroying the validity of that decades old perspective.
It used to be you took a government job for the security and sacrificed pay. That is no longer the case.

How about
In Putin's Russia...
Should have put in a star crossed romance interest between a stalactite and stalagmite from two warring houses, the Calzites and Bicarbonets.
Could end it tragically with some lime-a-way...

So you need a push mechanism on the wristwatch to send data out, and this action occurs based on some event at the watch?
Not making this any easier.

Yes. Skip the first four paragraphs and you'll reach the point before getting too annoyed with the fluff.
"there is room for reincarnation without the religious connotations."
As much room as for a wristwatch about to be hammered to transfer its time to another one.
Wearable NTP enabled device, with WiFi, Bluetooth, 4g, and a display showing current time?
I can't think of anything that even comes close.
Those grapes would have likely been yummy. SOPA...not so much.

If they have physical access to YOU, your software security is already nullified :-\

Another one bites the dust...
Is there anything out there yet that is

- short-mid range capable (long range not required, i have a regular car if needed)
- charges on house current (prefer all-electric)
- reasonably road safe
- can still keep me reasonably warm in winter (cool in summer a plus, but not as important)

What is doubtless money, and someone is in jail already.
Insider jobs at ISPs have always had a lot of potential reach and this demonstrates that.

Doesnt seem likely.

No, no. This is DEFINITELY an Android app...

Sounds like even someplace closer like Mars is going to take an impractically large receiver.
It needs to go to plus 11
