1) Corporate welfare to the tune of $600,000,000 to Amazon;
2) Just another way for the CIA to abuse people its friends don't like, with no concern for integrity;
then everything will fall neatly into place.
This really reads like sour grapes. Yes, they are a large corporation, but that doesn't make them another Walmart or McDonalds, ripping off the whole country by paying workers too little to live on. Amazon pays pretty decent money, not great, but pretty competitive if you include the stock (not stock OPTIONS, actual stock). They're going to have to provide a service and facilities to the CIA for the money so it doesn't play as corporate welfare in this context either. When it comes to cloud services, like it or not, they have more experience of what it takes to do this at scale than anyone else, and they already run secure cloud facilities (Amazon GovCloud). It's a logical decision.
As for the CIA, my personal opinion is that they're a bunch of amoral scum, who for the most part belong in jail cells and that they will do anything it takes to facilitate their criminal abuse of taxpayers money.
The worst thing about it all, is you all point to Ireland as some sort of bastion of economic freedom and some sort of idol, completely ignoring the fact that Ireland has been hit harder than *any* other country since the depression due to it's low tax rates and lax corporate regulations and now has a debt of 800% of GDP and all the multinationals that used and abused her are now running back to their safe secure and regulated home countries post haste!
Citation please? The most recently released results from Ireland's National Treasury Management agency say 41%, not 800% as you assert. Also, Ireland has been hit pretty hard, but nothing like as bad as you make out. The economy is still viable unlike a number of other countries, most notably Iceland which is in substantially worse shape. In fact, while Ireland has been hit worse than most European countries - though not all - it has not been hit anywhere near as badly as many non-EU countries. The reason Ireland was hit as hard as it was is due to the heavy reliance of the economy on the construction industry which got into trouble as credit started to dry up. The tax regime had little or nothing to do with it. Nor are we having substantial problems with multi-national companies pulling out, the biggest issue is with smaller local businesses no longer able to obtain credit and failing because of this.
Little known fact: Anyone who uses the phrase "Apple Fanboy" is in fact either a Microsoft Fanboy, Linux Fanboy, Nokia Fanboy, HTC Fanboy, or Sony Fanboy.
Or bitter because they don't earn enough to be able to justify the cost of a piece of Apple kit instead of the cheaper and less 'cool' Dell, Nokia, Creative etc.
As a teenager in Ireland, with ingredients available to me from school (ermm... unofficially) and information from reference books in the city library, I made thermite, and almost made mercury fulminate - thought better of that one at the last minute. We had access to mercury, mercuric oxide, nitric acid and many other wonderful chemicals. The school found out and I got a hiding from my Dad when they notified him. If it happened now, it would be considered more serious and the police would probably be called in. If it happened in the US however, it seems likely that a teenager with an interest in chemistry, acting in a non-malicious spirit of enquiry would be branded a terrorist, possibly be jailed, his parents fined, his home ransacked, his future educational prospects and with it possibly his entire life, ruined. Does anyone think this wouldn't happen in the "land of the free"?
Linux puts most drivers in the kernel and a bad driver there can cause a panic, bringing the system down.
Not being a Linux kernel programmer, I won't comment on this except to ask a question; even if it's true, what bearing does it have on how Windows screwed up at the Olympics?
I'm not sure how it's architected in Mac OS X, but I've certainly seen kernel panics on my Mac Mini.
Anyone running a production environment who upgraded to ESX 3.5.0 update 2, released July 25th is impacted by this IF they are firing up new VMs, doing a live migration of a VM etc. If they want to continue to use the services provided by their running VMs however, they will not be affected by this issue. There is a 14-day leeway for running VM processes when a license expires. As VMware are going to release a fix within 36 hours, that's well covered. Planned maintenance may need to be pushed back though for example, which is about the extent of the impact. It's a nasty little issue, the impact of which has been blown out of all proportion by some posters here who prefer to evangelise for Xen, or even for Microsoft.
I'm glad that I keep true to the old methods and run a full version behind.
I'm running 3.0.1 just about everywhere and am unaffected by this bug. I work in a prototyping lab and being able to clone and boot up new VMs is a way of life.
No money wasted today =)

Actually, you are running more than a full version behind. If you're on the 3.0.x tree, you should be on at least 3.0.2. There are far too many old issues waiting to bite you in the ass with 3.0.1. I believe that 3.0.3 was released recently too, and it doesn't suffer from the expiry cock-up in the 3.5.0 update 2 release.
im not an MS fanboy, i run ubuntu at home, but I do have to call BS on your accusation, and give MS credit for releasing one (and only one) decent OS in the 20 years they have been around. It's all relative. MY first experience of XP was within weeks of it's release, testing it at work because some developers wanted to use it. I had to try three different models of new PC before I could get it to install without a BSOD. Once it did install it was as unstable as a very unstable thing (maybe GWB?). SP1 went some way towards fixing a lot of the crashes, but really XP didn't become usable for me until SP2. To this day I only run it on systems that I am required to use it on, and fortunately most of those are VMware Server virtual machines that I can redeploy at a click.
If you are going to do the same bullshit all the major corps do, then you are a hypocrite and in my opinion just as bad, if not worse, than a "evil" company.
Don't be so naive. Google's "Don't Be Evil" credo certainly shouldn't require them to sit back and watch while lobbyists for Microsoft and others exert influence over laws that directly affect Google. They are fighting back in the most effective way, to secure their safety from badly-informed or biased legislators.
Good for Google. Don't be evil, but don't allow the "idealists" to force your business into obscurity either.
The time has come for us to end this nonsense. We should expel Russia from the G-8, restoring the orignal name of "G-7".
By your logic, the USA should be expelled from the UN. The USA acts unilaterally, benefiting nobody but its oil-tycoon vice-president, and arms-baron president (check out Bushs "defense" industry shares). For Americans to advocate the removal of Russia from "G8" is ridiculous and hypocritical in the extreme. Also, is it supposed to be one rule for the Russians and one rule for everybody else? Poland is as anti-gay as Russia, and in rural areas even more so, and yet they are your "friends", so they are spared your butch rhetoric? What unmitigated hypocrisy.
The other G8 nations are coming to the table with proposals that are already very much watered down, due to the demands of big business, and of course political expediency. That the US isn't even prepared to entertain these weak and inadequate changes shows the lack of regard they truly have for the state of the planet on which we live. They should try to bear in mind that the rest of us also have to live with the consequences of their selfishness and shortsightedness.
Any programmer worth his salt can pick up a new language in a couple hours.
That's the difference between a programmer and a coder. I learned C a few years ago back when I had a bit of free time and I was looking for something constructive to do with it. I never learned programming theory specifically though and now I think I could have better spent my time on it. AH well, some day I'll have the time.
The fight shouldn't be against me, using the software at home, or even a distributor of a collection of compiled programs. It should be -- if we accept that software patents as an idea is even valid -- against the people who wrote it. They are the ones that are infringing Microsoft's patents.
I wouldn't push that position too hard. It's unfeasible for Microsoft to attack every individual using FOSS worldwide. It's a lot easier for them to just go after the developers. I suspect it wouldn't take many high-profile cases against programmers before we'd see a marked decline in the number of individuals willing to write said software and potentially expose themselves to lawsuits from Microsoft and their innovation-killing legal team.
The problem is that it doesn't stop there. British mags - both in print and online - will criticise ANYTHING, and it doesn't need to be justified. Part of it is probably the desire for controversy to generate additional sales, and part of it is the culture of begrudgery evident all across Britain and in Ireland, particularly in the major urban areas.
I don't agree with allowing ostensibly impartial reviews to be influenced favourably by advertising revenue considerations, but neither do I agree with the bashing of what may be a decent product because the author was having a bad day, and in this context I think it is meaningless to rank British magazines above American magazines or vice versa.
Funny how some random pronouncement with no supporting evidence to back most of its claims can be modded Insightful. Other than the US prohibition of alcohol, can you cite some examples please?
...And 33% of people polled still think Bush is doing a good job in Iraq.
You'll probably find that the real figure is a lot lower than that. One of the major problems in the US at the moment is that the Conservatives have been pushing the bullshit idea that it's unpatriotic to criticise the war effort in any country currently under attack by the US, and that it also unsupportive of "our boys and girls in uniform".
As regards evolution, we here know that there is plenty of scientific evidence that the universe was not created 10,000 or 6,000 or 4,000 years (or whatever figure they've decided on this week) ago, however many of those who believe in evolution do not know of this evidence because it is not spoonfed to them in small easily-digestible chunks. These are people who watch soap-operas, and American Idol and other "reality tv" junk and they will believe whatever is made easiest for them to understand.
Of course the religious extremists are also a factor, because they shout long and loud enough to be heard by the aforementioned reality tv junkies. There is nothing wrong with being religious of course, but those who believe that either they are better, or that their opinions are somehow more valid because of their religious beliefs are fanatics, and I make no apology for labeling them as such.
... then this will be bad for the US economy, but potentially very good for the EU economy. Economies of scale in the US may well be wiped out, and US businesses will also potentially have problems disposing of old stock - for example to clear their warehouse shelves for newer products.
Personally, I stand to benefit from this as I live in the EU, but it would be a shame to see big business and political influence win out over innovation and entrepreneurship yet again.
Radar uses high-frequency radio waves, typically at microwave frequencies these days - not light - so this suggested application is invalid. There are plenty of other applications though.
plainly stated genocide -check intolerant idealism -check racist -check sworn enemy of neighbor(s) -check willing to sacrifice entire nation for megalomaniac goals -check
First point, Genocide: US has already gone a step further than threatening genocide by militarily supporting the murder and displacement of Palestinians
Second point, Intolerant Idealism: Far be it from me to dignify the insanities and intolerance of the Bush regime with the term "Idealism", but I presume somebody believes they're doing right.
Third point, racism: Anyone who isn't caucasian who's been through US customs lately (including some of my colleagues) will laugh at the notion of the US accusing someone else of racism.
Fourth point, sworn enemy of neighbor(s): Maybe not neighbours but "whoever isn't with us is against us". Enough said.
Fifth point, willing to sacrifice entire nation etc: Willing to sacrifice thousands of soldiers in Iraq to obtain oil contracts and to enrich "defense" contractors in which certain senior members of the administration have invested heavily. Actaully perhaps someone can answer a question on this for me? Why would ANY country not require their almost autonomous President to divest himself of arms shares before taking up a position in which he has full authority to declare war? FFS, it materially benefits the entire Bush family for the US to be at war. Of course nobody else other than the defense contractors benefits, as evidenced by the now atrocious state of the US' finances.
And by China I mean "Chinese government". Seems appropriate as the rest of the world mistakes US for US government!
Um. No. The "rest of the world" that you refer to might just be holding the entire population of the US responsible for the actions of the politicians they voted for.
Think about it, instead of becoming one of those "the-rest-of-the-world-is-wrong" merchants.
It's tricky though, isn't it? Inside the areas where there are what I personally consider an excessive amount of CCTV devices deployed, all types of crime are way, way down. This is obviously a good thing, so this is used as justification for more and more monitoring. What is termed as "anti-social behaviour" has got out of hand in the UK over the past 15 years too, and something does need to be done about it. Again, it's cheaper to deploy more cameras than more Police officers.
Probably the biggest concern should be the broadening - to a ridiculous degree, as illustrated in this case - of the meaning of the term "anti-social behaviour". This has become a joke. Certainly violent or intimidating behaviour should be classed at the very least as anti-social, but kids have always played with branches from trees, and shrubs and have always been the bane of any gardeners life from time immemorial. Surely a word with the childrens parents would have been sufficient in this case? It's certainly the worst that ever happened to me;)
one, by definition, cannot be held liable for crimes abroad if he/she was not physically there while commiting them.
Sorry? By what definition? Also, could you please cite the legislation that states this? In point of fact, one can be held responsible for crimes committed anywhere in any country in the world if said country has an extradition treaty with your country of residence. Of course your country of residence is entitled to refuse extradition if the alleged infraction is deemed not to be criminal activity by their standards.
Oh, and please remember that the alleged crimes were committed against computer systems physically located on US soil, meaning that a crime was committed on US soil under US law. The perpetrator wasn't in a location under the jurisdiction of the US, but that doesn't make it any less a crime.
The Chinese government hereby requests your extradition for execution and subsequent trial for voicing opinions in direct oposition to the Party's doctrine on the Internet acessible (by mistake) from China.
If you were knowingly violating Chinese law by hosting this seditious material on a server in China or a territory under Chinese jurisdiction, then you would be guilty of a crime for which you could be extradited (though I doubt that any western government would allow extradition in those circumstances). Otherwise you are free and clear.
Nope. What would actually happen is that AOL would let the charges accrue over a period of time, and then send it to their collections dept. This would be done on the basis that the service was never cancelled. If they really wanted to push this, you would need actual proof that you did tell them to cancel it, hence the suggestion by $whoever that you do it in writing by means of a registered letter. Even recording the phone call wouldn't work, as you couldn't use the recording against them in court unless (a) you informed the CSR up front that the call was being recorded and (b) the CSR consents to this. OTOH, as this story demonstrates, you wouldn't need to use it in court. You could publish it yourself, or forward it to the media.
