I dunno if banning A/C's is a solution. You'll just have people using a troll account, and forcing someone to get a login just to play is offputting for those with any intellect to spare.
Nokia shifting to Linux as it joins with Apple to challenge Windows 2
I recall 'Doze 3.0, back in the days of the square wheel, and I'm pretty sure that there wasn't much web browsing going on then.
If MS has tricked Nokia and Apple into somehow competing against Windows 2, I'm calling that the IT Judo Throw of the Year.
Google's US$2.5 billion war chest and freedom let employees throw many new services against the wall to see what sticks. But critics question whether Google has an efficient process for managing innovation. The free e-mail service Gmail, for example, is still in beta testing after nearly two years.
"It's like the Wild West at Google. They have enough money and enough disregard for the status quo," said one industry insider who asked to remain anonymous.
Google uses the word 'beta' as a fig-leaf, to manage user expectations.
Doesn't take a whole lot of brain cells to grasp that.
Then again, ZDNet publishes Dvorak, so go figure...
Why, yes. Given a vast market share, a company can do what is called a "play action fake" in US-rules football. The leader (quarterback), artfully attempts to convince the opposition that events will unfold one way, when they may not. Motives include buying time, and misdirection.
Done right, the play action fake is incredibly useful.

Aye, especially when you get to meet the Almighty.
Stand by for when the judgment you mete out against others is used on you.
Mercy is something we all crave.
Surpulus AN/UYK-7 case, preferably with ferrite core memory modules and control panel, for admittedly perverse case-modding project.
No real interest in programming the thing in CMS-2, just want it for a conversation piece.
Think of the Iraq War as a tactical event, and the general need to hold government accountable as the overall strategic struggle.
For all my views fall right of center, I am completely underwhelmed by the lack of dialogue on things like, say, global warming.
It's as if there is an.avi of Nicholson saying "You can't handle the truth", on loop, pouring out of the White House.
Bureaucracies enshrine 'process' and 'programs' as measures of success.
There is no incentive to solve problems; only to maintain them, and expand the scope of bureaucratic authority.
The phrase 'less is more' is never more true than where bureaucracy is concerned.
Seriously, we scientists, engineers and mathematicians should hold the media to task for its blatant disregard for truth and justice.
Your answer comes from Cool Hand Luke with the media in the role of the Captain
Captain, Road Prison 36: What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
IMHO, your viewpoint suffers from at least a partial cart/horse reversal.
Theater: soda, for which you pay more than alcohol
A bazillion years ago, when I used to work in a theater, a manager told me that most of the ticket price went for the flick, and the concession stand turned on the lights and paid the meager salaries.
One of the real advantages of a theater is the other people; movie theaters tend to always be open on holidays, especially around the end of the year, when people without immediate family who paradoxically want other people around, and anonymity at the same time, are most vulnerable.
And then there was always scoping out them hot little vixens...
Yep. Turtles all the way down.
I forsee a split between the www 'wild, wild, west' and private networks that you pay real cash money and have a smart card with certificates on it to play (or some variation on the military theme you see here), just so the wheat is available, and you can surf the chaff if you want to.
One wonders if some marketing twit won't tie these ideas to IPv6, as a forcing function to sell that technology to an otherwise indifferent market.

Recalls the Steven Wright joke: "You can't have everything; where would you put it?"

See, now, there you go "shouldin'" on it...
And the human element precludes other forms of abuse somehow?
