They won't even allow you to POP your email if you don't enable encrypted connection. This is FUCKING REVOLUTIONARY. Google seems to be one of those companies who come out with an idea and everyone else thinks "how come we haven't thought of this before".
If they start handing out options like they did before they may create competition for themselves once the stock market goes up. How? Again, simple. Let's say you're hired into a large company. After years of economic downturn its stock is probably at the lowest point in years right now, probably at its global minimum. If you get stock right now, and tons of it, and your stock triples or quadruples in five years, you'll be "outta here" looking for shit to do on your own. This may as well create a threatening startup of some kind. Not good for a big co.
Yeah, like Netscape/AOL developers who wrote it don't cost any money. $700 is such a small change in the grand scheme of things, I'm puzzled why they haven't signed their stuff.
When you can't even fly to your space station on your own. It's time for Russians to renew their anti-satellite program. Yeah, the one that they've developed back in the "Star Wars" day to shoot satellites down using a high-intensity military laser sitting on the ground.
This reminds me of that joke about NASA developing a ball pen that would function in the state of weightlessnes. Three years and a hundred million dollars later they've developed such a pen. In the meanwhile Russians used pencils.
It doesn't matter how you vote, it only matters who counts the votes.
The man knew what he was saying. While US election system is more robust to fraud than, say, popular votes in other countries (fraud can only occur on state level) with electronic voting this may change. One CIA agent will be enough to affect the vote of the entire states. Heck, CIA agents may not even be necessary, because there just may be a secret fragment of code in software which will basically go:
if(democratWins()) {
throttleDemocratVotes(); }
Look at countries which merely have electronic vote counting systems (even though the ballots are actually paper), like Russia. Whoever controls the system wins, always, repeatably, with predetermined percentages.
In the US correspondingly whoever controls the companies that make voting machines will win. Right now these companies are controlled by Republicans. Democrats, take note.
Demagogue to me is the guy who promises whatever the heck he needs to to get what he want without necessarily being able to deliver what he promised. That's what "demagogue" means to me, and that's who Kerry was. At least some of the shit promised by Bush was realistic.
Having said that, if I had a right to vote (which I dont - I'm not a citizen) I'd vote for Kerry anyway, because Bush is a fucking moron.
Nobody is _afraid_ of faggots. And being black is not a perversion, it's something that you're born with. Discriminating people based on the color of their skin is absurd, just as discriminating them on the color of their eyes.
However, calling faggots "normal" and allowing them to have "families" is just as absurd, whether you base your opinion on the Bible or on the Darwin theory. Let's lay down this one: men fucking each other in the ass are not normal, OK? Men fucking each other in the ass who want to get tax breaks (that were instituted to help families have children) and adopt children (who by all accounts need a mother _and_ a father to get proper upbringing) - are two levels of magnitude more abnormal.
I'm fine with them fucking each other in the ass, and I'm fine with the civil unions. However, I'm not fine with giving them tax breaks (there's simply no reason to do so) and allowing them to adopt children (which is why they want their unions to be legally accepted as "families").
Kerry was a BS artist, and a demagogue to boot. While I don't like Bush, that's not enough of a reason for me to vote for a BS artist. At least Bush promotes Tort reform and opposes gay "marriage". There's no way in heck I'll tell to my son that "being gay is OK" and there's no way in heck I'll ever approve of gay adoptions. Economy will recover sooner or later on its own, but if they pass laws attacking the very basis of the society (the Family) everything will be screwed up forever.
Anti-aircraft systems, fighter jets, attack helicopters, portable anti-tank weaponry, anti-ship missiles, high-speed torpedoes, nuclear weapons, electromagnetic bombs, etc. The list is pretty long.
Every time Russians demonstrate something the US military are shocked. Last time this happened when Iraqi rebels punctured the armor of US Abrams tank with an "unknown" portable weapon: http://www.navytimes.com/print.php?f=1-292236-2336 437.php
None of them will be able to intercept Satan nuclear warhead that Russians have anyway. And given that they can shut down stealth planes from 250 miles away using their current anti-aircraft systems that plane won't even be able to come near to use his overpriced laser.:0)
IIRC, about three or four years ago Russians have successfully tested a system to permanently fry satellites from the ground using a high intensity laser beam. AFAIK US military still don't have anything along those lines.
They've also been known to have GPS jamming equipment for years.
How do they manage to do this every time? They build superior weapons while operating within the constraints of their shoestring budget (relative to the US military R&D budget).
that what you thought was exception safe is in fact not exception safe. I've seen our local C++ "god" spend entire week hunting down a signle bug which only manifested itself after a few days of intensive load test. The code was multithreaded and it had to be thread safe as well. Turns out, even the guy who has been using C++ for 10+ years now could not write multithreaded exception safe code. He could not find the bug by just looking at the code, either. He ended up working on a memory dump and calling in other experts from around the company to figure out what was going on. They spent five days to find out that exceptions didn't quite work the way they expected them to and because of this there was an extra decrement on a variable in RW lock which deadlocked the waiting threads.
Haven't they read "Exceptional C++"? C++ is a fucking disaster. It kind of constantly conspires against you to shoot you in the foot in some kind of massive manner where you'd least expect. Sure, non-exception enabled code is ugly (check the return values all the time, etc), but any non-trivial exception-enabled code is nearly impossible to write if the requirement is that it works correctly in all situations (which is what the requirement is for the kernel).
Don't get me wrong, C++ is an OK language, but I'd think twice before using its exceptions.
Yeah, you're right. I've looked up in Google. I must have confused it with some other processor. Nevertheless, Z80 was one heck of a processor for its time.

No, I mean not signed by a key obtained from Verisign. You don't have to be Microsoft to sign your binaries.
INSANELY MASSIVE layoffs? These days it seems every business decision results in massive layoffs, and the major ones result in major layoffs.
Win XP SP2 warns you against installing it for this very reason. Please, someone at Mozilla.org, sign the release binary.

Put bags over their heads, too, and make them simulate oral sex with each other. That'll teach them terrorists!

I'd like to see Ballmer's face when he hears this.
They can take Mozilla/Firefox as-is. So in this statement Mr Schmidt neither confirmed nor denied anything.
It's now in iMacs and the new displays. Looks like Steve basically took what they did in NeXT and moved it into Apple, piece by piece.
Yeah, you're right. I've looked up in Google. I must have confused it with some other processor. Nevertheless, Z80 was one heck of a processor for its time.
They also had integer multiplication (and IIRC, division, too) which 8080 did not have.
