Typically illegal exports happen because the company charges more for an item in country A than country B, so people buy stuff in B, sell it for a markup in A and still undercut the company.
Usually country A is the United States, especially when it comes to electronic gadgetry like iPhones, which is what makes this argument (in this case) weird.
Windows can do it with two screens, but not with the mouse (the mouse gesture to dock to the side of the monitor is to drag and drop the window against the edge of the desktop area, you can't dock to the edge of the monitors where they touch).
To get the docking effect with two screens, you have to use the Windows + left/right arrow key, which will dock the current window to the left or right side of whatever monitor its on. Repeatedly pressing it will cycle through the monitors, as well.
It's a good hypothesis. One of the major use-cases for views is security: give a user SELECT access to a limited VIEW and they can read just the allowed portion of a table that they do not have access to read normally. Previously, this user could not have their UPDATE access limited the same way, it would have to be hand-coded in a SECURITY DEFINER procedure, and hopefully it's defined right.
PHP gets widespread hosting support for exactly one reason: mod_php. This is why it's impossible to run two PHPs at once, and why hosters are slow to upgrade.
Compare the number of companies willing to install an apache module and just forget it (often to their peril) to the number of companies willing to babysit a million RAM-chewing django, rails, and java servlets for all their customers, and that's why.
Someone should resurrect mod_python. It hasn't moved in over 2 years now.
If one of my workers told the whole country why he thought I was stupid
If you're so touchy that someone writing an article that doesn't exactly line up with your beliefs 100% makes you feel stupid, then I'd be glad to be told so, so that we can all avoid working with you.
Incidentally, this is why the Republicans can currently only get 30% of the country to identify themselves as Republican, they "purified" out everyone else who was only mostly conservative.
Rational managers should be most willing to cut costs when the margins are thin and the economy is down
True. After all, companies pay consultants millions of dollars to help them lay off people in bad economies. All you have to do is pitch it to management like they're laying off non-productive software and they'll eat it up.
if being the "boss" is just about technology decisions, what keeps you from being a smarter "boss"?
Obviously because the "boss" is the guy who came up with an idea and hired other people to do what he says. If erroneous had come up with the project himself then he'd be the "boss". Smartness isn't much of a variable in this process.
The Wayback Machine never indexed it, but Google cached it. Here's the "Services" page. Apparently with piracy, "more than one area of expertise is required" so this group also provides Adoption, Medical Malpractice, DWI, Bankruptcy and Divorce services as well.
The domain was registered in 2005 and updated yesterday, so that's probably when it was parked.
If the company can't provide them with the service, they shouldn't have sold it
The company is providing the service just fine. It's the other companies' faults that they don't want to let calls go through to this company.
Reminds me a whole lot about the whole network neutrality thing. If Ed Whitacre was still at SBC/AT&T, I'd expect the next thing we see would be an article from him about how these rural people shouldn't get to use his networks for free.
I've watched those things being slapped together. If I ever decide to "invest" in a termite nest, it will be one I personally oversaw the construction on and/or built myself.

Obviously the car looked fast.

It's the line of space wasted by having mostly empty tool bars and docks stretching across the bottom or top of the screen.
It's why when I get stuck with a 16:9 monitor I dock everything to the left side.

the freely flowing spigot of VC money built most of the stuff I currently use.
Except that if you're using it, then it was probably not the result of a startup that was bought and killed.
You get the patent coverage by releasing version one and paying off whoever sues you.
And if the laptop has a firewire port, i'm fairly certain RAM can be dumped on ANY operating system.
If I don't want to go the way the current is going, why would I?

Why doesn't your business mandate HDD encryption?
Not that it would matter, some person would decide its too much trouble entering the password all the time and just leave the laptop on.

how's this any different than hooking up my video card's HDMI output straight into my TV set?
Now you can use a controller to navigate instead of trying to use your mouse on your knee or the arm of your sofa.
It's jam-packed full of advertising, leaving 1/10th of the screen for actual content?
I opened up Steam and got that before I even hit the big picture button!
Steve Jobs said it best: it's not about wages, it's not about OSHA, it's not even about the government.
Americans won't live 20 to a dorm room where they can be woken up at 3AM to make phones in a facility paid for by the government.

Broke that for you. Now it's more like the title of this story and you may be able to see where everyone else's complaint is coming from.
already hundreds of components already soldered in (see those little diodes, resistors, and capacitors? you would have them separately replaceable?)
If manufacturers keep using shitty exploding caps, yes.
Everyone knows that flying airplanes into the tops of buildings happens more often than floods in the basement. Gotta keep the priorities straight.
And etckeeper to make sure you can blame whoever comes along and fucks it up later.
And you can point to the clause in the Constitution that gives the federal government the power to stop him?
