For me, the main thing is that commands apart from basic cursor movements (up, down, left right, start of line, end of line, page up/down, go to line, got to start/end) are exceptions. I only extremely rarely need to type more than a single command in between editing and cursor movements, and so having to switch modes back and forth is wasteful. In emacs, I can do all the basic cursor movements with a single hand movement apart from "go to line" which requires me to type in the line number, and I'm instantly ready to edit the text. So the mode does not offer me any advantage for the single group of commands I use often (the cursor movements), and adds the inconvenience of switching modes back and forth all the time to move around and edit text.

On my keyboard I have to lift my hand and move it to be able to hit ESC, while I can hit Ctrl-x with a slight movement of two fingers in my left hand. I'd be swearing loudly if I had to hit ESC much.
The ^x sequences I use often in Emacs are all quick and easy to hit and don't require me to move my hands of the home row. The ones that aren't easy to hit are also the ones that I hardly ever use. And if I don't like the combinations I can always rebind them, but at the moment I only have a single custom key binding.
Seat belts kill too, sometimes. Ultimately what will matter is whether or not this can be made safe enough to save significantly more lives than it kills.
You've missed the point - he's presented examples, not an exhaustive list. He even linked to another article detailing more brain damage.
Also, again, you can get the precise behavior in a generic way. The post you replied to explained how. It's even ok to include information about _why_ certain information is like that, so that tools that have special knowledge about the format can do full roundtrips more easily. The problem comes when the format itself is burdening ALL implementors with replicating undocumented behaviour in order to reproduce a document faithfully.
In fact, if you care about faithfully reproducing documents, then including a generic description of the various attributes is essential, or different implementations WILL fail to accurately reproduce them.
It's easy to maintain a low turnover of staff as long as the vast majority of your staff isn't fully vested, and the stock is moving upwards. As soon as the growth in staff numbers slow down, though, you're going to see the turnover percentage increase significantly as a larger and larger percentage of staff have been there for the full 4 year vesting period of their options, and the company starts seeing pressure for lower refresher grants.
Perhaps the damning thing about MySQL is not that they can't, but that they haven't chosen to.
That's a good thing. For many applications ACID isn't worth the overhead. There are many applications where performance is more important than reliability, for instance because the data can be trivially rebuilt if something goes wrong.
You mean it made/. look like a bunch of middle aged men of questionable reputation slinging insults at eachother and applauding and shouting like a well trained sitcom audience every time a speaker manages to take a cheap shot at someone?
Using Parliament as a measure of civil discourse was a creative move on your part, I'll give you that.
Definitively not just you... I didn't even remember I had the extension installed. Checked just now after seeing your message, and finally the Ajax stuff works again, so thanks:)
Next time try something else, like starting a vacuum and move it towards the bed, or if it doesn't have a problem with that, try squirting lemon or oranges towards it. Both assuming the cat has two ways out - if it's cornered doing stuff like that is just plain cruel.
Consider the risk for a company that focus on developing a few new drugs and then milk it for decades with minor improvements vs. one that keeps spending money developing completely new drugs regularly.
The point is that under the current system there's a greater capital return on the former approach, and so the capital is invested in small incremental improvements, and less is available for the groundbreaking (and high risk) research.
Except that most of the time there won't be a direct correspondence between accounts in your database system and accounts in your web applications. It's something I for one have never, ever needed or wanted for any of the systems I've worked on.
I probably have 6-7 old laptop chargers. They're all using slightly different voltages etc., but they're close enough that it's trivial to get universal chargers that can handle the full span. The problem is that the plugs are all different. If you look at the "universal" laptopchargers you can buy, most of them come with a large selection of plugs... How hard could it be to ensure the laptop can handle an input voltage up to a reasonable maximum, and use standard plugs?
Consider tracing a path over the surface of a balloon with a pen as you're inflating it. You will move the pen a certain distance depending on whatever speed you draw with, but the path you've drawn will be longer than that distance. If you start out with two pens, and move them slow enough relative to the expansion of the balloon, it will take a long time before they meet (or they may never meet), even though they'll each traverse the original distance between eachother in a short amount of time.
If you want to trust your children, the most precious thing you have, to someone then you don't want them to have ANY record.
Actually, you'd rather want to avoid handing them over to their dads, brothers, uncles or other relatives and family friends, as in the UK a NSPCC (National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children) survey a few years back showed that 75% of all sexual abuse of children was carried out by family members, close family friends and other persons known to the child - with the odds of abuse being higher the closer someone was (i.e. dads/brothers are the most likely offenders). The odds of your child being at risk when placed with a licensed child care provider is far smaller, and was so even before all these measures were put in place.
I'm not saying the register isn't useful, but there is reason to question a) who gets put on it, and b) how much it's emphasized, as it draws attention away from the fact that by far the biggest risk to a child is it's own family and their friends.
What you are stating are implementation details of one IP stack, and certainly not something any IP stack needs to do. It doesn't make UDP a connection oriented port at all. And it still doesn't mean you know whether two packets are part of the same conversation - only that the IP stack makes certain assumptions about it for simplicity because it's "usually" right.
If you read the full article (both pages), you'll see that they've covered these scenarios, and that Skype provides fallbacks, the last of which is relaying through Skype's own servers (by both client making outbound connections).
The benefit from this is that it allows two programs that are both behind NAT or a firewall to connect, but there needs to be a third server which is not NAT'ed that coordinate the connection. If you're an attacker, all you need to do is use a non-NAT'ed server and you wouldn't need this mechanism - you could just have your application connect directly to you.
It could be used to arrange data transfer between nodes in botnets without needing any non-NAT'ed command nodes, though.
But then you don't get a HP product. Unless the products are the same price and completely interchangable, what matters is that HP are bundling and removing consumer choice for people that want a HP computer.
That argument doesn't work. If a company sells TV/DVD combo's where the TV and DVD are separate and refuse to offer them unbundled on request, they are breaking the law. If anyone do that, and don't get prosecuted, then that's because it doesn't really affect anyone much unless that company provides much cheaper options than anyone else, or is the exclusive outlet for some brand. In other word, consumer choice isn't affected. It is in this case, as you have no real way of getting HP products without the OS at a price comparable to the price of the system less the cost of purchasing Windows, so it does affect consumer choice.
Why don't we allow companies to use slave labor too, because obviously it's morally wrong for a country to set limits on how companies manufacture or sell products in their jurisdictions?
Companies exist at the grace of the people - they're a legal construct that only exist because the representatives of the public approved laws making their existence possible. Corporations have only existed in any real form for a few hundred years, and were allowed because they were seen to benefit society. There's no "sacred right" for corporations to even exist.
As such, most European countries have seen fit to balance the rights of corporations with those of the public, to ensure consumer choice and competition, to try to ensure that corporations truly do provide benefits, instead of being allowed to become abusive.
Stop spreading FUD. If the product can't carry out it's intended functions without the provided parts, then it's not a bundle, and won't be affected at all. If it DOES work without specific parts, then the manufacturer MAY be required to offer the product without that part on request. That's all. This is the same in most European countries, and has been that way for decades or more with no adverse affects, and a lot of benefits for consumer choice.
You completely miss the point. A cellphone without an OS is unusable for the purpose for which it's sold - you can't make calls with it. A car without an engine can't be driven. That means neither of them are bundles in the eyes of any European consumer protection regulations.
In this case, however, a computer very clearly is usable for it's purpose without an OS: You can still run a variety of software on it, including other operating systems. That makes it a bundle.
These laws exist in most European countries, and many others, for the express purpose of protecting competition and consumer choice. In other words: To ensure a free market. It's one of those areas where a less regulated market means a less competitive and less free market, as there are strong economic incentives for dominant players to bundle.

There is already an open source attempt at reimplementing AmigaOS sort of: AROS. It's been around for years.

Not it doesn't. It force HP to offer consumers a choice of one with or one without...
And yes, HP is big in the UK too.
