I gotta agree with Khasim. I worked in downtown at the time. Not much happened until the cops overreacted. When you have that many people in one place, stuff like broken windows and thrown objects happen. You do your best to isolate the bad apples not isolate the entire MASS. You obviously have not lived in a large town during a mass event like this if you think one or two broken windows is a big deal for a couple thousand people protesting with a couple hundred riot police.
Well a couple of brain dead anarchists breaking windows and throwing bottles does not create a riot. Cops over reacting to those couple of people and treating the entire crowd as IF they are those couple of people and then driving them all into a residential neighborhood of people who have nothing to do with any of it DOES create a riot.
... this is how you START them. This coming from someone from Seattle who lived on Capitol Hill during the WTO riots and had police overreact and create a situation when none existed.
One that is complete, impartial and fair? You won't find it. Each language has it's strengths. Some have larger libraries, have been better tested, are geared towards system administrators or the web, some scale better than others, etc.
You would be asking for a flame war to list which is which but each has proven itself in it's own community. Usually, age, adoption, libraries and (mature)user applications is what makes the language mature and get better. Find those and you will find a decent language.
Geezo people relax...would you. Language is a mutable thing. As long as we can understand the attempt at a failed joke and the germans rule, that's what is TRULY important.:)
Yes but on the plus side, Gumstix come with expansion boards making them infinitely customizable to your needs. If the cube was made out of tinier cubes (like Legos) that you plugged into it and effectively could even 'cluster' complete cubes into 'blades', i'd be spending money hand over fist on them.
Rihgt and I think thats the argumen that they should stick to. That they are being anticompetitive by not allowing others to SUPPORT the OS in a greater sense. That's what the argument will come down to. If the software can be installed on other hardware and it causes no harm to the parent company, why are they forbidding other companies from supporting it or making a profit from supporting it? I actually wish them alot of luck even as an Apple user; I'd like to see Apple become stop shunning it's open source connection and start embracing a bit more.
The argument by Apple is going to be made that they are an appliance manufacturer and that they sell the OS and support the OS only for the appliances they sell. They offer it for sale as an upgrade to their appliance for those who do not wish to purchase a new appliance and as a convenience to their consumers.
So they are not a monopoly by any means but they cannot argue that a third party cannot support that software as long as it does not imply support or cause any damage to existing company.
True. I just reread the SSA standings thanks to your comment. My original basis was due to their numbering scheme; the first 3 digits of an SSN is a regional code, the second two is a grouping number and the last 4 is the serial number (this is your actual number). Based on that, the logic was that given living and dead persons, since the original creation of the SSN system, they would have had to reassign to stay within the regional assignment system. But according to the SSA, they admit to fudging on regional so as to avoid reassigning; if one regional code is full, they just start assigning you to another regional code. So if the regional code of New York is all out of SSN's, they'll just assign you to New Jersey.
Nobody needs to store SSN's except the government that issues them. The fact that people made the MISTAKE of standardizing on SSN's as primary keys for users to begin with is their own fault. Mainly because SSN's are horrible primary keys since they REPEAT!!! Yes look it up... they DO get reissued after death and with longterm storage, this will only cause issues for storage of personal data.
Second, data loss is a quick route to a lawsuit as a result of storing SSN's; People and companies need to stop this bad procedure especially since laws in several states have been passed banning the practice. Good security can only do so much as human error is inevitably your final point of failure. And do you want to have a couple million social security numbers relying on the security of a backup tape in the back of your juniour sys admin's Pinto overnight?
Please... I use Windows for games, Apple for media and Linux for hacking. Good luck playing your games and viewing your media. What can be cooler than that.;)
Godwin was implied by previous poster referring to the fact that 'Bush was not the WORST'. Your attempt to pawn a Godwin off onto me when the implication was made by previous post is fallacious. Shovel your spurious logic elsewhere
Nah... if they haven't noticed you in the crawlspace by now, I'd say stay silent. No need to for unnecessary social interaction when you've made it this far without it.
So you are basically calling yourself an introverted computer nerd? Wow. That's brutally honest. So when are you going to move out of your mothers basement?

question: why would they block testing for safety?
answer: it's already in the food chain. testing beyond 1% will show prions to be prevalent in nearly 50% of red meat sold in the US.

Wow. Can you stick your tongue in a little farther? I don't think you quite touch Ballmers colon yet.
So you are basically calling yourself an introverted computer nerd? Wow. That's brutally honest. So when are you going to move out of your mothers basement?
and...? Your point? Wait are you saying a network for the people by the people (much like a nation for the people by the people) is Unamerican???
The original post was a joke. Showing that some people are so blinded by their love of the republican party that they cant see a friggin joke.
