Seriously? If the current solution accommodates more than 99% of the population, just borrow someone else's computer. Problem solved. Saying "it's pretty wasteful is dozens or even hundreds of people have to buy a second computer is small potatoes compared to the cost to the taxpayer of making sure that everything works under linux as well.
It's obviously not that big a problem if we almost never hear of anyone complaining about it. A few hundred people complaining out of more than 300,000,000 is just pissing in the wind. Besides, linux scanning/printing software sucks unless you'e ready to pay for it, so might as well just buy the second computer and know everything will just work.
Look, anyone making a grant application who can't beg or borrow someone else's computer for a bit and thinks that the solution is to whine about it has bigger problems. When you're asking for money, better to just go with the flow. Maybe include the purchase of a windows computer in the request. Or get one of those cheap windows tablets.
I am English, but growing up in Quebec, where they've passed so many laws to make English disappear in public and business, Besides, it's kind of ignorant not to learn the language of your neighbors but expect them to learn yours when you're a minority... at least that's the way I see it.
Besides, knowing more than one language helps offset dementia, and it's "convenient" when people assume you can't understand them and tell others how they really feel about you right in front of you:-)
oh, a BASIC programmer who was mentally disordered.
There's something you don't see every day...
FTFY: A programmer who was mentally disordered. Blame management for forcing us to live with contradictory demands and the resulting cognitive dissonance.

There are a lot of accents in french, and it's not that much harder to select both the letter and the diacritic with one motion, so "works for me" on a smartphone (though it took me ages of poking around to find that feature - it's not like they advertise it or anything). And it's great when you're in bed and no other keyboard makes sense.
Mind you, we can all just "speak our minds" and the phone will enter the text itself, so I guess in one way technology has provided the ultimate solution. And then you can have the text translated into the language of the recipient and spoken to them as well. Amazing times. Not the universal communicator of star trek or the babelfish of the Guide, but getting there:-)
I suspect within a couple of decades the great majority simply won't use a keyboard.
No, the ORIGINAL point was that the GPL is less free than the BSD license. The GPL has restrictions/conditions on redistribution, the BSD license does not.
And in most areas of the world, a license, once accepted, forms a contract between the parties. And courts are free to modify any part that is not in line with the law, public policy, or that is unreasonably one-sided. Such authorization is NOT a violation of copyright law. Too bad...
I don't know - looks to me like the world is giving them a LOT of f*ck yous. It's only because it's just on the internet that they're not accompanied by long greased poles, cattle prods, a rolled-up carpet, and a dumpster.
You don't need to be confused. Just read the summary.
it has partnered with two internet exchanges to install "super nodes" that have a range of several miles and are connected directly to the backbone of the internet.
Advertising requires consumption. Once consumers don't have the extra bucks to spend, more advertising won't convince them to loosen their purse-strings.
All I'm pointing out is that the higher the tax rate, the more you have to produce to take the same amount home. This gives an incentive for increased productivity for everyone all down the line, which also creates more wealth by spending on capital goods and labour to increase productivity. Higher taxes result in more of a trickle-down effect - lower taxes have been proven to remove money from circulation, with a negative effect on trickle-down - it trickles up.
In the end it won't make much of a difference to the final outcome - previous job eliminations resulted in people moving from one type of job or industry or career to another. Education isn't the answer - there aren't enough jobs if we were to give everyone degrees.
I've never seen the french equivalent of hospital with an embedded 's', nor heard it pronounced as if there were an 's' in it. Then again, the 'h' is also silent.:-)
It's a GREAT solution for a mobile phone. For a keyboard, just press one key, press and release another, and release the first key. No big deal. You could even have a status line to show you what each second keypress would give.
It's funny, because we have the Quebec English language, North American English language, and Quebec French... and every little bit of a while someone from france - not the same at all - makes Quebec French sound like the speaker works in the docks.
Well, according to your own figures, the 1% would be 3 million people. That would result in a distribution of at least $1,500,000.00 per person. And this ignores that the 0.1% have way more... There's no denying that would have a huge impact, even if, instead of doing that, we just returned to historic tax rates. Low tax rates are a strong disincentive to work for the rich.

Nonsense. It's not "paying Microsoft Corporation to fix it." Last I looked (a couple of minutes ago) Microsoft still does not own Adobe.

Its a fake conspiracy theory when my nephew believes it. 100% accuracy within 5 seconds.

Don't steal content by not watching ads, you internet scumbags!
They consider their ads to be content, so "don't steal content - don't watch their ads" would be more apropos.
Each internet ad
that lies to me
is a damn fine reason
to block and not see.
You don't own my eye balls
I am not your product
Get strung up by your balls
We don't give a f*ck.
You don't care
about what we want
so why should we give
a sh*t about you, stupid c*nt?
You don't like
our freedom to decide
not to watch your crap?
Go commit suicide.
Or die in a fire,
upload it to youtube
view counts will soar,
advertise sunblock, you n00b.
We really don't like
your ads that are spam
No, not even
With green eggs and ham
I will not click them,
not with my mouse
I don't want them
even in my house
So it's plain to see
Mr. I. A. B.,
You're p*ssing in the wind
And we all can see.

Not a single fuck was given by anyone else.

Oh, the irony, By refusing to show content to people who use ad blockers, they are the ones doing the censoring ...
Here divorce is civil law, so up to the individual provinces.

The courts? Logic? Surely you jest :-)

Texting will remove the need for all superfluous accents, diacritics, letters, words, etc. It's already happening.
