That's what everyone says. Then Microsoft issues a "end of support" date and starts to deprecate the old operating system so much by not issuing bug fixes and then they stop security updates for whatever version of old MS OS you're using.
Which means that whatever MS OS is currently dead to you, you in fact end up using at some point.
That's exactly what I thought about this law. It didn't work out too well. Judge's eyes simply gloss over when talking about copyright, along with other average citizen's.
They also (still) sell a lot of film to Hollywood, both for actual filming but also for archival purposes, as all films shot on digital are also archived on film.
If you can find one use a Superdisk to read a floppy. The heads are much more sensitive and narrow and can read ordinary floppies better than a regular floppy drive. I have used this to recover data from floppy disks that were old/worn.
The whole reason for android being closed source now is that there were five different versions of android that are/were incompatible with each other. This way google can rein in the errant OEM modifications that led to these incompatibilities.
Can the defendant discharge the judgement in a bankruptcy? Why couldn't the argument be made that the judgement violates the constitution for excessive punishment if he can't? (i.e. if he makes the average salary for a white male at 45K, that would be like confiscating his wages for 22 years as he uses after tax money to pay the judgement).
Agreed. I went in expecting a bunch of cowboy cliche's and some mean aliens for a summertime popcorn movie. I also expected cowboys shooting at aliens. And that's exactly what we got. I also don't understand why everyone is dumping on the movie. I think some of it is that moviegoers have become "spoiled" on such high production values that they have become too hard to please.
This is one small thing most Slashnutters neglect to think about.
No. They're a patent troll. They are sending patent notices to twitter and applications that interface with twitter, but yet they file their patent in late 2010 when all this was already underway??
BZZZZZZT! Wrong, their is nothing wrong with Medicare/Medicaid. What's wrong is health care costs which are increasing at rate twice that of inflation and is 17% of GDP. Which is not just affecting entitlement programs, but the country as a whole.
Wow, it seems like I've been hearing stories about DNF all my life, and now suddenly it's really coming out! It's like the end of an era.
There should be a law against it coming out, so that the meme can be preserved.
Maybe all the boxes will be empty and will simply have a small piece of paper that says "you really didn't think we'd actually release anything, did you?"
Radio Shack once sold some of the highest quality affordable home audio
And who bothers to have "high end" audio anymore? It just needs to work and blast out a loud noise - and last two years before it's thrown out for the next set of two inch speakers.
So much as the cnc and soldering reflow goes, it seems like the number of people doing that kind of thing on that level anymore equals the number of replies to this Slashdot thread!
Seeing this from the Rat Shack really has me wondering if they aren't in their death throes aka Ultimate Electronics and Circuit City (not to mention all the countless mom and pop shops that had "Hi Fi" in their name).
It's kind of a laugh. I remember when there was a shop that sold calculators, LCD watches and stereo equipment (and there were no cell phones then). Now you can find all that stuff blister packed at Wal Mart or at a grocery store even.
Sounds nice, but there's not money in small resistor packs. And anybody worth their salt now knows how to get parts without having going to Radio Shack, who will mail order them anyhow. Why have an extra step?
It's not all Radio Shack's fault. Look at how stuff is made now-a-days. It's all built by machines (and cheap labor) in China and thrown away when it breaks. Radio Shacks used to have repair centers across the USA. Not any longer.
But beyond that, Radio Shack has lost touch with their core constituency, those that had real radio shacks. Instead of a place to find neat stuff, they became the place for cell phones and RC trucks at Christmas time. I have avoided them like the plague quite successfully now (how many years (or decades) has it been?), and was quite bemused when I saw the new DIY email from them recently.
I would submit though that we are getting closer to that day. With open source CPU cores being announced and the plethora of ARM devices, all that is needed is a keyboard and display. I suspect that with e readers eventually being blister-packed, that all the components will soon be readily available.
Though they may not real world practical for students as they probably will not be allowed into exams.

Windows 8 is dead to me

put pressure on your congresscritter
Stop giving critters a bad name.
Going to the mall is so 1980's. This technology is not only irrelevant, it's out of style.
What exactly does the Fraternal Order of Police stand to gain from passage of SOPA exactly??

the first of the five stages of grief.

That too is in rapid decline.
Dunder Mifflin recently introduced The Pyramid.
So you're saying the prognosis for Google Health is not good?
It's dead, Jim.
Have you received any promotional consideration for that post??

Study the design of the "microwulf" and it's relatives. Considering that hardware prices has dropped since 2009, your task might be achievable.
FTA;
The images do not line up perfectly because of differences in lighting conditions, angle of the LRO Camera, and other variables.
Like being on a different sound stage??
>Considering that the 80386 was in production until late 2007 for embedded systems, I'd imagine it has.
And why this might be quite relevant despite the some of the disparaging remarks in the comments here.

'Recast their culture', hmm? What the fuck does that mean, exactly?
Instead of using whips and chains on their programmers, they cast them in vats of molten lead. With a handful of jewels.
