Exactly. Moreover it was in the bio of a Congressman. For some voters "lawyer" is a pretty damning word, "Attorney," less so. But "Corporate Lawyer," is synonymous with "Corporate Shill."
You're right. If it existed, it would have been a mechanical computer, likely gyroscopically controlled. Norden had an autopilot coupled bombing computer in production in the very early 30's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N... Indeed autopilots are almost as old as the biplane.
"Computers" as we think of them today simply didn't exist then. The nearest things to that would be the Bombe and Colossus later in the war.
Nope, it was designed in a time when there were not many appliances, and those that existed had much higher current draws that they typically do today. Note, there was at a time a much smaller alternative British plug used for lamps...i.e. lower current devices. ("Type D 2A") If the only things you are likely to be plugging in are 12 or 15amp beasts, then the British plug is a pretty good design. Doubtless it is overdesigned for our solid state low current devices, but they didn't exist when this plug was designed.
Hey, speak for yourself. My organs are going to be pickled in canopic jars so that I can use them in the afterlife. Except, my brain that is. You can scoop that out through my nose with a long spoon - won't be needing that, thank you very much.
No, I don't feign confusion at all. I know precisely what you and for that matter most US residents mean when they say "America". Moreover, I am perhaps only a little less guilty of using the work in that sense than you are. I have however lived, visited and spoken the languages of perhaps a dozen other countries that do not use the term so ethnocentrically. Plenty of Canadians are well educated enough to assert that they also live in America, just not the United States. Despite your wish to the contrary, being the "biggest" (you're not), richest country in the region does not entitle you to dictate to others what they think.
For that matter, it may piss off the Irish no end, but Eire is correctly described as part of the British Isles from a geographic perspective. Likewise, many Finns are surprised to learn that they don't live in Scandinavia. Misunderstandings, no matter how widely held, are still misunderstandings.
My comment was merely an attempt at a little wit. I did not mean to shatter your, so easily threatened, sense of national importance. And, look, I managed to do it without calling anyone an "asshole".
Theoretically, the UK does indeed have plenty of sovereign power in America. Thirteen states from Canada to Guyana all recognize her Majesty to a greater or lessor extent.
Not really. This is how an application must behave in order to get approved for the Apple Store. Moreover, we can assume that Tom Tom are not beholden to the regular Apple agreement, since that also prohibits developing turn by turn voice navigation applications. It's foolish to make assumptions about the behaviour of the OS from the terms of Apple's agreement, especially when Tom Tom are clearly a special case. Plenty of applications available through Cydia can background.
ObComment: yes, way too expensive. I'll stick to xGPS for free from Cydia.
Agreed, it's a simple rule of management: if someone is acting earnestly, you don't describe their work as a "pile of sh*t." If their work is a "pile of sh*t" as a general rule, then you dismiss them. How you do this for the Linux kernel, I have no idea. How long is the queue of (competent) people begging to be cursed by Torvalds ?
No, most hospitals are required by state law to treat folks without insurance for emergency care. So, by the point you are actually dying you'll get treatment. And, by that point it's only palliative.
But, hey, at least the US doesn't have socialist health care! Those socialist fire fighters do such a terrible job putting out our houses when they're on fire, and don't get me started on those socialist training camps called public (US sense) schools.
The air conditioning was pumping second hand cigarette smoke IN to the server room. No-one was smoking in the server room, but the smoke concentration was higher in there than the rest of the building. It was the non-smokers who were huddled out side the building taking oxygen breaks.
Then when we finished for the day, the damn project lead slammed the car door on my hand.
Mobile phones & Ipods (make sure user can't run Apps which haven't paid the Apple tax)
Absolutely not true. You can license your iPhone/iPod Touch app on a per device basis and completely bypass the App store - no fees to Apple necessary.
The "tax" is for using the App Store as a distribution method.

Again, there's nothing to stop you putting your own video without DRM on your iPod.
Yup, companies rarely give "recommendations" or bad references. They may be able to dismiss you without cause, but any company big enough to have a legal department knows that they can get sued for limiting your ability to earn a living by giving a negative reference.
You've got the new job, don't worry. Personal recommendations carry more weight than anything pro-forma on corporate letterhead.
I think what you outline is a possibility, but it is not mandatory. I don't believe that Samba, for instance, makes Linux a second class citizen. Far from it... Most folks that I know would much rather run Unix based Samba servers than Windows, and I do believe that Samba has reached such a degree of penetration that breaking it would not be in Microsoft's interest: think of the number of media servers designed to share with windows systems that are actually running an embedded Linux. I'm certain there are other cases where the open source implementation is better than the proprietary one.
I'd like to add that virtual memory permits interprocess sharing besides shared libraries - it's not the only way to implement it, but Unices and Windowses would look very different without it. And, don't forget that the kernel relies on a special case of memory sharing...in some operating systems the kernel is always resident in the memory map of the currently executing process, albeit protected. Which is a simplification for IOCTLs and SYSCALLs, but a complication for interrupt processing.
You know, It is a fact that "persons other than Psystar are involved in Psystar's unlawful and improper activities." Psystar did not create the hacks that allow Psystar's business model...many other people did. As far as I know they're not remotely involved in Psystar itself. This may simply be Apple trying to expand the complaint to indict everyone who has developed patches, distributed patched torrents etc...I don't read it to necessarily mean that Apple is implying that Psystar is a proxy for Dell or some other manufacturer, who wants the legal case cleared up before they start offering clones.
The "information" may simply be that someone named "Kalyway" is distributing hacked versions of OS X that you can install on non-Apple computers.
Yuppie is a diminutive acronym for "Young, upwardly mobile". Pelosi and Kennedy are neither young, nor upwardly mobile. "Inherited wealth yuppie" is an oxymoron. Yuppies are by definition nouveau riche.
And for that matter you picked the two candidates who are bi-partisanly acclaimed to be "the hardest working members" of their respective houses.
Now, I understand that you might not agree with their politics - but they are certainly NOT lazy.

Call me when it's been re-written by Knuth !
EMC is not a Biotech company, and moreover it has a history of successfully enforcing non-compete clauses: Don Kempel for instance:

They appear to work for EMC !
