Glass is heavier, which means that when you SHIP the product you will use more fuel. When you sale that up to billions and billions of bottles it is significant.
"[...] Are you comfortable with the government partnering covertly with media organizations, search engines, social networking, so they can bring change that the Washington elites have designed?
Didn't he just describe Fox News? That is what they do over at Fox News, is it not?
Where is your evidence that the US Government pressured Bank of America to do anything?!
Are you kidding me? Seriously? The USG isn't even going to bring charges against Assange unless there is evidence of coercion and not simply an anonymous leak which is 100% protected free speech in this country.
It's a boring sentence trapped in a boring, verbose memo
He's being intentionally vague - not naming products or companies.
If I had to guess, he's probably referring to the fact of how quickly both Linux and OSX matured on the Intel platform while Microsoft moved so slowly it might as well have been standing still.
In the mid-nineties Microsoft wanted to deliver big on the Internet - do you think they did?
Literally the only chance we have of getting to another solar system is to discover an entirely new branch of physics that somehow makes interstellar travel feasible.
At only 20LY away, it is entirely feasible that we could *ask* them. That is if there is a "them" on Gliese 581g.
Anyone parroting the "endangers lives of out troops" is doing nothing but repeating drivel meant to discredit wikileaks at this point.
Disclosing tactics, procedures, and strategy to the enemy makes us safer how? Also if the data is that real and that valuable, why not hold onto it until after the war is over?
'It's absurd to expect ordinary members of the public to think about what they're allowed to do [with CDs, digital downloads, etc]... and then ask themselves whether it's legal or not.'
Ignorantia juris non excusat.
I sympathize, and to some extent I agree, but it's not a legal defense and it doesn't legitimize breaking copyright law. Howabout just not making copies of things you paid for? How hard is that to remember.
But the post was titled "Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks?", not "Should well-funded very small cities with lots of qualified and highly motivated mechanics install moving sidewalks?"
The escalators in the NYC subway system are notorious for breaking down and costing a *lot* of money to maintain. In 2008 there were 169 escalators, and overall each averaged68 repair calls a year. It is unlikely that it would be different above ground.
The government of the United States was never supposed to be the top heavy behemoth it is today.
I agree with that observation - but how would an increased focus on local government prevent the spread of misinformation, or stop large corporations from astroturfing?
Two decades ago the widespread complaint was that "people believe whatever they see on TV". Well, now we have that plus the Internet too.
Who knows, maybe with a couple of decades of practice debating local issues all of the modern political spin tactics will fall away on their own.
So how do we - as stewards of the information age - help coax society down a better path technologically? We can't leave it in the hands of MSNBC and FOX News, they could just get local too (they have affiliates!)
You could always make the software easier to use.
Your description sounds like the errors are because the user "didn't do something right".
Why not accommodate the thought and usage patterns of your users instead of forcing them to memorize a cryptic list of "things to click on to get this thing to work".
The Italian legal system is a FARCE. The more I hear about how it operates the more I dislike it. How can the Italian people accept it? They found Amanda Knox guilty after they already confirmed who the real perpetrator was.
Shame on Italy. Not that I'm in love with Google, but you guys are fucking stupid with your legal system.

Leave Google to go work on PHP spaghetti code? Puhleese.
Maybe people have left Google, but show us the numbers. I highly doubt they went to FACEBOOK.
Yes, we call these "states". They each can have their own laws, too.

To each his own, but may I ask what drove that decision? Love or hate Microsoft, but C# is pretty much the pinnacle of C-style programming languages.

Google, Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat, etc. would all disagree with you. I mean, dude, you're posting on slashdot.

If Apple is going to change the size, I would have liked to see a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio size change instead...
Actually, Fujitsu COBOL shipped with .NET way back in 2001.

dude. Sending content over HTTPS is a performance hit because it has to be encrypted first. It also takes more bandwidth.
In short, it costs money.

CDMA cell phone technology => CDMA
Wait, I just realized you meant to not support the tag in the browser at all. Okay I agree there.
Right, but whether or not your website uses frames, someone else can put yours in one and then do nefarious thing like record keystrokes.
Explain to me how your hide your race during day-to-day activities. You consider your race private? Do you wear a blanket over your head all day?
Did anyone actually look at the form?
How exactly would I go about keeping my race private in day-to-day activities?
This is just more right-wing tea party nutjob noise.
Fill out the form people. It takes 30 seconds and there's surprisingly little asked.
Hey man, the 2nd Avenue line is long overdue. People have to walk a very far distance to catch the Lexington Ave. line.
Why it took 40 years probably has to do with the MTA and the City itself taking turns going bankrupt every decade.
As far as actually useful rail projects go, the 2nd Avenue line absolutely is one.
