Do they follow Yahoo's lead, and cater to the very oppressive Chinese gov? Or do they support a democracy that has been around just as long as China really, having been created in more or less the same instance. China, after all, has no less claim to being the authority over Taiwan than Taiwan has to being the authority over China.
better than just "outside the judicial arena" (which is a group that includes DA's and such), 40.7% of the 108 justices of all time (unless I miscounted) had no prior experience at the state or federal level. Many of the most important and influential Justices had absolutely no prior experience.
There have now been 108 Justices in the history of the US. Of those, 44 had no prior judicial experience. That's a healthy 41%.
In fact, the 2 of the last 3 Justices that were appointed, prior to Roberts, had no previous judicial experience. Those would be Clarence Thomas (Reagan appointee, 1991), and Steven Breyer (Clinton appointee, 1994).
Kennedy appointed Justices Byron White and Arthur Goldberg, neither of which had any prior experience. I mention them because Kennedy could do no wrong, supposedly.
Not only did 44 have no prior experience, many had only limited experience- Justices John Harlan and John Marshall had only 1 year prior experience. Justice Justice Hugo Black had only 1.5 years prior experience.
Shall I go on, or have I sufficiently proven my point...
one could be on almost any platform now, and share documents.
Sure, yeah, that's already the case. Anyone can install OpenOffice, or whatever else. BUT...the huddled masses, yearning to be free, don't know how to install anything other than weatherbug. Office applications confuse them.
With this though...how complicated could it be to go to a web page?
A long overdue project. Sun looks to actually revive with this. Investors must agree, as SUNW has gone up 7.5% today, and 14% total since openning yesterday.
We always knew there was a finite number of early adopters out there and a finite number of Microsoft haters who would switch to something new, but we didn't know what that number was. It looks like we're approaching it.
Most people feel like they're lucky to be able to even log on. Very few understand what a "web browser" even is - they may have heard of mozilla/firefox, but they don't know how to install it, they don't know where to get it (yes, it should be obvious, I agree) and they don't feel confident enough to do things like that. Oh, they'll click next->next->next and install some weatherbug crap, but...it's a happy weather icon that tells them if it's raining outside! Who can argue with that?
First, there's the install base that is in corporations where users aren't even allowed to install things on their systems. That's a large chunk. Of those that are left, there's only a small percentage that can accomplish the "complicated" task of installing firefox. As more and more of that group actually install firefox, frequency naturally slows as a direct relation to the amount of appathy someone has.
I used to play starcraft, through an emulator, on linux, on a slower machine.
Until about a year ago I still tried to keep my kernel below 640k. Impossible now (if you want things to work), unfortunately - modern devices require more complex drivers.
A 500mhz system though...I would have begged for that when I first started using Linux. Was using a 386 at the time. That old kernel is still out there somewhere, too...;)
Where can I get one? For $100 in total, hell...I'd pay almost that much for the crank. Maybe. Something about a generator/battery combo with a 110v outlet...that's just sexy. Are they more readily available than I think? (damn format changes...)
most of those loans get forgiven. If you aren't aware of that, you should do a bit more research.
some of the largest cities in the world right now were tiny fishing villages in Africa just 30 years ago, and it isn't from selling fish that they got to be so huge in one generation as to make NYC seem small. Any particular reason Zimbabwe can't do the same thing? Any particular reason why Zimbabwe, or anywhere else for that matter, should need money from the US to do anything at all?
/. moderation can get really dumb. I got slammed every post for a while; it was silly. -1? troll, and overrated? How so? Post seems relatively reasonable to me, and completely non-troll.
we owe a good deal of our peace-time technological progress to NASA. There are thousands upon thousands of everyday things we use that came from NASA research.
And most beloved people on Earth? Yeah, because all those people here in the US that were on welfare loved the rich. People tend to think so well of the generous rich that give the poor enough to keep being poor. All those places in Africa that we in fact did feed in the last few decades - they loved us so. Built little temples in homage to us, sang our praises...
OR...we could stop treating them like children, and open up markets. Like we're doing now.
no, it doesn't. In fact, it is more than just misleading; it's very wrong. Mr Griffin did state that ISS was in fact important, he just said, like you pointed out, that he thinks the orbit is wrong.
I'm fully aware of this fact. I don't care. They're intentionally lending creditial to SCO. That money is coming from lawsuits and threat tactics against Linux users. It's ill-gotten money, for an underhanded cause (SCO trying to pretend they matter anymore, for the sake of continuing legal battles). MySQL AB knew this, yet they played along anyway.
Note also that the "partnership" press release I linked is on mysql's web site - not SCO's. it's not like SCO is spreading this nonsense about SCO being "a leading provider of UNIX(R) software technology for distributed, embedded and network-based systems" - that text is straight off mysql.com. And yes, I know that SCO wrote it. I don't care about that either.
No, it was a dumb move. *If* MySQL AB came out and publically apologized for sleeping with the enemy, then maybe I'd consider them for things again. Otherwise, they're tainted, and their motivations are extrodinarily suspect.
SCO Partners With MySQL AB to Lower Costs and Increase the Power & Scalability of Modern Database Solutions
3 September 2005
Companies to Deliver Certified Version of MySQL for SCO OpenServer 6
LINDON, Utah, Sept. 2, 2005 -- The SCO Group, Inc. ("SCO") (Nasdaq: SCOX), a leading provider of UNIX(R) software technology for distributed, embedded and network-based systems, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with MySQL AB to jointly deliver a certified, commercial version of the popular MySQL database for SCO OpenServer 6, the newest release of SCO's UNIX solutions platform. As part of the agreement, the companies will work together on a range of joint marketing, sales, training, business development and support programs that will benefit customers throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Additionally, SCO will include a trial subscription to the MySQL Network enterprise database service with each new copy of SCO OpenServer -- and offer full MySQL Network subscriptions through its reseller channel.
But you all knew where I was going. Since when is SCO a "leading provider" of anything other than laughs and FUD the last few years?
MySQL punched themselves with this SCO deal right before they caught up with other db's - a catchup process that was too slow anyway. Already made the move away from them - was an Oracle/MySQL guy for years, now I'm an Oracle/Postgres guy, with firefox for the little/quick things. Or sometimes just a bdb backend of my own creation. With all the competition out there, MySQL didn't need to introduce this highly annoying bug into their platform.
Anyone that disagrees that removing these "encryption" methods is bad, is obviously just a troll./sarcasm
Ok, question: what does Windows use hashes for, other than the updater (if even that)? Can't the updater just change what it supports, and leave the other hash tools alone?

Reinquist, among many others, had never been a judge before serving on SCOTUS.
at $500k a pop, very few have to actually take action for the desired effect to take place. That's not a heavy burden either, really.

And before anyone starts talking about storage arrays, databases, etc etc...those things are no different in windows. Try again.

they wouldn't have accomplished jack, if NASA hadn't come up with the tremendous knowledge base that current teams get to draw from.
NASA could put a tiny ship with barely any payload into low orbit decades ago. Not really all that comparible.
Your post was rated insightful? More like overly-rehashed nonsense.
no, it doesn't. In fact, it is more than just misleading; it's very wrong. Mr Griffin did state that ISS was in fact important, he just said, like you pointed out, that he thinks the orbit is wrong.

not if there isn't enough length so that the box can move around...
you know, I see no reason for this to be marked "troll." Fairly logical, rational arguement imo.
Then again, I get mod-slammed in weird ways all the time. I've seen posts go from 5 to -1 to 5 to -1 again...meh.
pretty scary, isn't it ;)
you might not be aware of this, but carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas...
additional. 3 "new," not replacement.
microsoft is trimming down...
is that why, just a few posts ago, we talked about the 3 new divisions (complete with 4 new presidents) were created? Because they're trimming down?
Yeah.
