You are right in that Opera should focus on its strengths, but that's not speed anymore. Opera's main selling point today is the costumizability and the mountain of extra features built into the browser. Sure, you can have most of them using an extension on Firefox or Chrome, but extensions tend to be badly written. They are slow, bloated and unsecure. Trying to replicate the complete Opera experience in Firefox or Chrome with extension would eat up all memory, slow down the browser and make it crash every half hour. Opera is a browser for users who know and require the hundreds of features they provide, which is why trying to follow the minimalist Chrome path is shooting themselves in the foot.
I disagree. Who says that the dog is so much different from a raccoon or a cat is so different from that squirrel? Sure, they are different species, but if you ask the cat: would you rather live or die a violent death right now? I don't think the cat would give you an answer
FTFY. You can't really "ask" an animal what they "think", because they don't have a thinking consciousness.
The problem is not that they dispose of the animals that are no longer needed. That's actually a useful thing to do. The problem is with the hypocrisy.
I fear it may even be the opposite: applicants for whom a Google search doesn't return every detail of their lives will be labeled too antisocial for the job.
Because end users won't give a damn about how much time did it take to build, or whether it's opensource. The only thing that matters to them is whether it's better than the existing ones.
Agile/Extreme programming is the alternative medicine of software development. It's a collection of mostly unrelated and sometimes contradictory concepts, the only common thing between them being lack of widespread adoption. Like alternative medicine, it has components that are useful in some circumstances. These give unearned credibility to Agile, even though they were there well before it. The problem is also similar, these components are taken to the extreme and are claimed to be universal solutions to every situation. For example, acupuncture is useful to ease pain, but no matter what the charlatans say it doesn't help against cancer. Similarly, frequent testing during development can be useful, but test-driven development is taking it to the extreme, and it doesn't work at all in for example web development. And like alternative medicine has homeopathy, Agile/Extreme has their own set of ideas that are total bullshit like pair programming.
If keeping our chip production costs more than losing it, then overally this is a bad investment. You could argue that electronics manufacturing is a strategic sector, but in this case we should simply make it a rule to only accept European electronics for security sensitive apllications. That would create a market for domestic production, and keep it alive at a much lower price.

It's already on an island, the problem is that at those climates the sea freezes.
Google's strength is in their gigantic database, there's no other search engine that can replicate that.

They don't need to make an exact replica, just learn the technology behind from the documents.

Many times it's the dealers who resell the faulty crap returned buy a previous costumer.
Thos are electrics, not electronics.
The German railway unions wouldn't be happy with that.
and give the vandals a taste of their own medicine.
What makes it ok is that the Murdochs did quite a lot of snooping of their own, this is just giving them a taste of their own medicine.
But when the wind stops blowing there's no more reason for the kite to stay up, so why is it a problem if it comes down?
even if it didn't generate any electricity.

What makes you think i read it?
Just because a story has some connection to Facebook doesn't mean it's about technology.

km/ks is the same as m/s
No, I just pointed out that not even here in Europe do we use full metric.
Actually, it should be in km/s, as h isn't SI.
Well if it doesn't that this finding has quite a shaky basis, so I would think that it's appropriate.
This is one time where a car analogy has left me understanding less.
Maybe shooting up a bunch of small unmaneuverable satellites wasn't such a good idea, it just makes the space junk problem worse.
