Was it made crystal clear to the Dell purchasers that the browser is available as a free download? If not, it's a hinky way of doing business. Whether or not Dell's innocent here isn't in question. Did they attempt to deceive the people who purchased from them? "Accidents" don't happen in large tech companies. Anything that is part of a tech business was designed by intelligent humans, and done deliberately. Getting caught and coming up with explanations afterward is a b.s. move, same as with individual people, and if you deceive in small ways it makes a person question what else is being done.
I disagree. To take advantage of computer illiterate users is a moral wrong. Do you take advantage of the mentally impaired? Where is the line drawn in the tech business?
It is fucking morally wrong! No! Dell needs to make it very clear (at the top of the page, with a download link) that Mozilla is a free to download browser. Anything less is totally corrupt.
My gawd, are there no moral people/ companies left in this world?
What value has this man added to a single piece of equipment sold in the last 40 years? What part of these machines relied on his effort or ingenuity? If his patent had never been filed, are we to seriously believe that progress would have been held back by so much as an hour.
From the article:
While some of Hyatt's patents predate or are contemporary with those granted to executives at Intel and Texas Instruments Inc., those companies made products that changed the world, (Ross) Bassett, (a professor at North Carolina State University) said.
"I respect Gilbert Hyatt's work — the process of engineering is difficult," Bassett said in a telephone interview. "But innovations are more than ideas. The broader context matters. If Gilbert Hyatt had never existed, I believe the microprocessor would have developed in the same way that it did."
P.S. I happen to be light skinned person of German Irish descent. I've been up and down in my life. Had good conversations with people of many descents. People are people, basically, where ever you go. I also have known many non-darker skinned people who use food stamps. They might act strangely also. It's a human condition. But if you have the need to feel you are better than others, perhaps that's your issue to deal with.
The racist rant was a tipoff to the ignorance. All kinds of people in our world, not exposing yourself to different ideas breeds the ignorant ideas of hatred, superiority over others, etc... Though I may be replying to a closed off mind. In that case..., go you!
Why isn't San Fransisco allowing students to ride public transportation for free? Google is a private company that's done well, and can do whatever it wants with it's money, that they choose to do this is to be applauded.
I agree, fix the tax loopholes for ALL companies. Until that is done, all companies will take advantage of them.
According to this 2013 interview, Murray says that the agents were ''foaming'' at the thought of Ghostbusters3. (20:00) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Ernie Hudson played a character in Ghostbusters, one of many films he acted in. Read his Wiki entry linked below to know the man from the character).From Wiki....
In the original script for Ghostbusters, Winston Zeddemore was intended to be the smartest and most capable of the Ghostbusters, a former Marine with multiple degrees and a Ph.D., making him more suited for the job than the founding three Ghostbusters. However, in the final screenplay none of these qualifications were mentioned. The changes are discussed in detail in the commentary on the DVD of Ghostbusters, the explanation being Winston allowed the technobabble to be put into layman's terms.
However, the novelization of Ghostbusters mentions Zeddemore's service with the Marines prior to joining the Ghostbusters. Further, in Ghostbusters: The Video Game, while the Ghostbusters are on a mission in the New York History Museum, Zeddemore reminisces about the time he spent studying for his doctorate in the museum's Egyptology wing. (In context, it's unclear if Zeddemore studied for the doctorate prior to joining the Ghostbusters, or sometime between the events of the movies and the game's setting in 1991.)
Zeddemore is a religious man to some extent, saying in a discussion in Ghostbusters that he believes in God and "loves Jesus' style". While driving the Ecto-1 with Ray he voices his thoughts that the sudden spike in ghosts appearances might be a sign of the apocalypse, pointing out that while they have come to treat capturing ghosts as routine pest control, in a very real sense the dead are literally "rising from the grave".
All windows versions have always been a pain to use in one way or another. Win8 with ClassicShell installed works fine for me, though I'm not a 'power user'.
I wish they'd both make everything a lot less social and less connected.
I agree, as I'm an 'old school' neckbeard. I just want to play a great game, and not be inundated with all the connected stuff.
I just recently got an XBox360, because it has a pre-existing library of great enough games that I can buy pre-owned for next to nothing.
I don't have the time to get involved with all this modern 'always connected' gameplay. I paid good money for the console, I want it to just work out of the box. Online features are a pain to constantly keep up with. And now a connected camera and microphone that's always on? Not needed, and not wanted. At least by me, YMMV
No, you're not. The fact that you're you are alive proves that you're a tough survivor.
Kids do not have power over adults who bullied them. As a grown adult you do have the power over screwed up, bullying controlling types. Power to not allow it to happen to you again, at least not without one hell of a good fight from you. You are now stronger than you might realize right now, but strong you are. That strength may come in very handy as you go through life. While your growth as a child was changed, you are not 'fucked'. You would not do the things that were done to you to another human being. That makes you way better than the cowards who harmed you back then. I salute you. Keep on moving forward, maybe just so the bastards don't ''win''.
But of course it's false. Gods and the supernatural are fantasy concepts, and it shouldn't need to be pointed out here that they don't exist in the real world.
Modern science 'knows' that there is a fourth dimension, though scientists have not yet been able to prove that it exists, yet. And they think that there may be as many as nine or more dimensions, all occupying the same space. To the uninformed, the possibility of a 4th dimension might be thought of as ''fantasy'', just as humans flying was always considered to be impossible.
I don't see anything wrong with keeping an open mind to unproven possibilities. In my 50+ years on this planet I have personnally been witness to a couple of events that cannot be explained by 'rational' knowledge. And I'm the ''prove it up'' type of guy. And I know that there's more going on in this life than we are able to comprehend.
Since there isn't enough information to determine the true cause of the fire yet, it's all speculation. Therefore it might also be an act of purposeful sabotage to discredit the Tesla. Right now we just don't know.
People connected with 'big oil' have suppressed the development of the battery powered car, during the '90s. It took this long for someone to come along and restart the technology. Shame, that.

The article talks about the "start button" making a comeback, but it obviously did in 8.1 already. Are they actually talking about Start Menu?
There's always a workaround...

in 2011 the USPO said living people were eligible to be honored on stamps also
Thanks, I forgot that. In that case, Woz should be honored with a stamp before Jobs. Without Wozniak, there would be no Jobs.
I don't think that's a good idea, having 'the Woz' on a stamp would mean he'd have to be deceased.
