....and now it is illegal for anyone but Apple to fix OS X bugs.....
I only pretend to be a lawyer to pick up girls, but that doesnâ(TM)t seem to be in the APSL. The only restriction I can see is a GPL-like requirement to publish your source changes if you go external....
I think mevets was making a joke. In particular, he was insinuating that oscar might be a polite term for genitals. Oscar, thus transposed, inspires a form of mental dissonance as the many connotations of the remainder of the phrase unfold. Some people find this form of dissonance amusing; I, for one, do not.
I grudgingly updated my laptop the other day, and the managed-pc model is pretty far reaching. For now, it can have its head. I am curious how it will annoy me before disabling it.
I think that the common factor behind the long string of failures in the pre-iPad tablets was the appropriateness of the software. Simply throwing PC software on it with some bigger buttons didnâ(TM)t work very well. They were awkward to use, and were quickly binned as irrelevant.
While Windows 8, itself, is said to be better presented on tablets, that doesnâ(TM)t mean that off the shelf PC software is. The software will require a lot more of a rework to be usable than the rework required for an ARM port.

There are lots of apps that show you various signal parameters for most platforms (Linux, iOS, Windows). Even if you donâ(TM)t know what the signal parameters mean, the magnitude of difference between an old and new router can tell you something. I think, if there is no difference, it is perception based; otherwise an overworked flux capacitor.
A less sinister reason is found in genetics. Ethics not withstanding, reducing the number of variables increases the reliability of any experiment. For example, laboratory rats are, as nearly as possible, genetically identical. This is accomplished through inbreeding.
Perhaps my feeling of revulsion is best summarized by Adam Smith:
We blush for the impudence and rudeness of another, though he himself appears to have no sense of the impropriety of his own behaviour; because we cannot help feeling with what confusion we ourselves should be covered, had we behaved in so absurd a manner.
I agree that the propaganda is in full swing, I was pointing out the futility of differentiating between infrastructure and military targets. I wish it was otherwise.
Our current government is peculiarly amoral. Fuelled by a fundamentalist background, if it is not written down (ie. law), then there is nothing wrong with it. Even when it is written down, if it is for the greater glory, it gets an exception.
These lists will come in handy when phase II of their minority targetting comes to pass.
With apologies to small island nations, the sea level isnâ(TM)t among the important risks of melting this ice sheet. The ice sheet serves as more than just a moderator.
[napkin math]:
Ice reflects over 50% of light energy; whereas open ocean absorbs about 90% (approx: albedo ice=0.5, snow+ice=0.9, ocean=0.06). The artic ice normally varies between 3.3% and 2.5% of the surface area. The 3.3% figure is less interesting because it occurs when there is little sunlight to absorb or reflect anyways. That is due both to the short days, and the angle of incidence of the suns rays.
At the new lower bound of 1%, this means that fully 1.5% (2.5 - 1) more area is available to absorb sunlight, at a 90% efficiency means that this fact alone will increase the earths heat absorption by about 1.4%.
There are likely other moderators (I hope so) which will diffuse this, however there is a disturbing pattern in play to overtax these moderators.
The point is, what is the significance of this 1.4% gain?
What makes one a legitimate business person? Is that a euphemism for prostitutes and drug dealers? If you have to write 50 emails a day from a mobile device, you have made a serious vocational error.

We were all drunk at the time? Any sort of noble gesture or even quiet shame are off the table.

However, each side believes their national infrastructure was sabotaged, and that they sabotaged the others weapons program.
Both suffer from their respective militaries being infused into their very fabric, thus valid targets are practically moot.

The Itanium division at intel was so overjoyed they ordered a medium pizza, with wings to celebrate...
Please!
There are all kinds of companies with environments to suit all kinds of people. Interesting But Mediocre is great for some; not for others.
A homogenous environment is cheap and easy for a business to create. When is cheap and easy ever bad?
It is flamebait because it is critical of the reform party. What else could it be?
