"Hanging out" with insurgents? He came later to help injured people he saw dying on the street. You do realize this took place in Baghdad? Which is a city, the kind of city where people live in. Your nonchalant attitude about murdering innocent people is disturbing to say the least, perhaps you should think real hard about what you are saying especially if the roles where reversed and this happened in your homeland and this was your family.
You really believe this or are you just trying to justify your beliefs. Someone who is trying to help injured people and has his kids in his car is not part of the insurgents. You do know there are actually people who live there and are trying to continue their lives, not everyone in Iraq is part of the insurgents.
I don't think so. NASA makes almost bug free code with very stringent testing at a cost of $1000 per line of code I believe, so for example Windows 7 which has about 50 million lines of code, would only cost 50 billions, and given the profits of Microsoft that would only take two or three years of their profit.
When you charge an arm and a leg for an OS and your company basically has unlimited money, then there is no excuse for not delivering perfect software with no bugs. So yes I was expecting a perfect version of Metro.
So? It means you can't run any other operating system on ARM because of secure boot. But all of this doesn't matter because Microsoft only needs to make a small change in it policy and then all x86 devices are locked out.
You should always take threats seriously even if you think it is 99% certain that it is a hoax. It is better to react many times to a hoax with the results that only some time and money is lost than it is to not react to a single real event that results in people dying.
The problem with DRM is that the fundamental problem is that it is impossible for it to work. Ever! You can't limit content from the same user that you also wan't to show the content to. So therefore DRM is evil and totally useless and should never be used period.
This is amazing. It means PayPal actually thinks that people who are criminals or are doing something illegal will but in the real reasons in the memo box. And they actually have a process to check the text in this field. Either they are very stupid and think this will actually work or they are evil and like to bother legitimate customers.
Why do I need to set the max limit? Why can't the program just use the memory it actually needs, I don't need to specify this crap for native programs. There are a lot of programs that you don't know before hand what is the memory usage. For example like compilers, file editors and any programs that work with multiple files and objects that are specified by the end user.
I am not talking about server applications here they are set up by professionals, not end users. Yes I think having to set up specific memory for a VM is the wrong approach. You don't need to set memory parameters for native applications and they can use all the memory they want so why do I need to set one for VM?
This is one of the very stupid things Java has. The user has to set memory limits for the application, either using to much memory or too little, and the memory used is based on the usage for the application so that it is always a possibility to run out of memory for a Java application even if you have enough memory on your machine. This is a major usability and design flaw in Java.
You would not be able to kill as many people with a knife, because people would fight back and/or run away. I seriously doubt you could make any useful lethal gas bomb from a liquor store, but even then people could run away from the gas.
Besides all these items (knife, chemicals) has useful purposes other than killing, a gun has only one purpose to kill people.
The Xbox 360 problems can be blamed mainly on bad design and cheap components. It should be no problem to design a computer that can dissipate heat efficiently when you can design it from scratch. The Ouya shares many of the components used in tablets and somehow powerful tables can be built without a fan.
What the hell? A fan inside the box? Please tell me this won't be in the final version. Have these guys never heard about heat sinks? The way I would do this would be to have the case be made out of aluminum and the heats sink would be connected to the case utilizing the case itself to dissipate heat
There are actually gene sequences for example in Dolphins that can grow "feet" but are simply deactivated and no longer used. These are simply remnants of previous species that used to walk on land. So actually these dormant genes actually support evolution.

You might argue about the first strike, but the second strike was obviously targeted at the relief efforts, that is collateral murder.

No.

What is even more scary is the possibility that someone would accidentally load the wrong type of ammo.
Why not just use Google Drive. You can access it everywhere, and it syncs with all you devices and you get 5GB of space.

No you just do it right, you don't need the kernel to do correct memory allocations behavior.
But why should I have to care if it is a virtual machine or a real program, the program should just work.

Because cars are used for transportation, hammers are used for constructions, but guns are only useful for killing people, that is why.
How would you kill 30 people with a knife? Where can you buy lethal gas bombs?
The problem is the guns, they are extremely effective at killing large amount of people within a very short time.
Well since it is based on Android, Android developers can take their existing games make only small changes and then release them for the Ouya.

Well I of course I meant almost all, it only takes one mutation for a spore that survives the process to start this chain of events.
