Yeah, that was a good Social Network. Your own timeline was your timeline, it was not merged on a huge wall of things that you most doesn't care.
Communities was the keyword there. And it worked very well. But then Google decided it should promote Google Wave, that flopped. People didn't saw a need for Wave, as Orkut was already good enough.
Then Google killed Orkut, and tried to shove Google+ on us. Interesting enough, G+ was good and could had become the "New Orkut" - but Google knows better, and decided that all the content on Orkut should die. The same way they're doing with G+ now.
Do you know? I don't think Google will ever manage to get their feed on a Social Network again. They destroyed everything they managed to build with plain disregard for people willing to keep their social networkings from the last product. It's insane. No one will thrust them again for some time.
The best and longer living products are the ones they bought, by the way. Everything else is kaput.
I have my own gun, and I use it to defend myself from you. I shoot you, you shoot me. In the end, I'm still dead. Now, if neither of us had a gun in the first place, we would both still be alive.
No. You would be dead by a knife on your belly, as the assassin would be pretty sure you are defenseless, and he would walk away from it easily.
Guns are no a life insurance. Guns are deterrences. And on your example, you take the bastard with you - one less criminal walking on the streets.
But this doesn't concerns you, as all you are worried about is on your own survival, with complete disregard of anyone else, right?
So instead we got the 640k barrier, config.sys, interrupt conflicts, extended/expanded memory, 8.3 filenames, segmented memory...
640K barrier is IBMs fault for putting the BIOS at the top of the first 1MB instead of the bottom. Interrupt conflicts, I think you can blame this on IBM too. 8.3 filenames came from CP/M.
EMS/XMS and memory segmentation are FAR more the fault of Intel given these are CPU architecture related.
So...that leaves config.sys(which isn't that terrible really).
The BIOS going on top is also Digital Research's fault. CP/M used extensively the CPU's "soft IRQ" as handlers to the S.O., and so the hooks MUST stay on RAM in order to be reprogrammed as the S.O. is loaded (or relocated) and new device drivers are put to use. If you look on the 8080/Z80 home computers of the 80's that choose to put ROM in at the start of the address space (what on the long run would avoid the 640K barrier), you will also see that EVERY SINGLE ONE had died in a way or another due serious difficulties to expand the firmware - you can add devices galore to the expansion bus, but without a solid and easy way to expand the firmware, you are doomed.
I agree, but people, at least in modern society, have thrown out the idea of "local", so why should it matter where people are from, in terms of employment? Why should production be local, but consumption not be?
Because is precisely those people that pay the taxes the keeps the country alive.
That doesn't make any sense. The world, unfortunately, will not be going back to local employment or local consumption in our lifetimes.
Perhaps. But in this case, I'm afraid there will be no World to people be living in.
Without people paying taxes, there will be no government. Corporations will fulfill the role, as they will be the only ones with money to sustain the Armed Forces.
But once all countries will be "incorporated", who will provide the money that the Corporations need to live? Without anyone to buy their stuff, from who will flow the money?
There're no viable future in this scenario.
So I maintain my statement: there's no future for such economy practicas. Or we will ban such practices, or there will be no one left to keep such practices.
"If you're doing business (i.e.: taking money from people) in a country, especially THIS country, you have a moral obligation to employ people from the community, if possible."
You used to be right, but not any more. Money is no longer spent locally, so why should jobs be kept local? If people are buying all of their consumer goods from multinationals and having them delivered to their doorstep, then why should employment be any different?
Because without employments, there's no money to be spent at all - and so, no need for companies (bigger, smaller or locals).
Economics are just a tool. People are the one that matters - without people, there's no need for money,
Each 10 years some company tries a stunt like that. Five years later, after a lot of pain and tears, we manage to survive the mess. And then another company do it again.
It's amusing how we, The People, manage to allow it again and again.
Something tells me these H1B visa holders are neither entrepreneurial nor brilliant.
I worked with a very talented Indian professional once. He said that the best professionals on this country just don't leave the country. He can earn exactly the same amount of money that the best Europeans and Americans ones, and spend it on a incredibly cheaper one. There's no bad place if you are rich enough, and a middle class salary from USA or Europe makes you rich in India.
So, yeah. You appear to be right. The ones that stays home appear to be the better ones, so the ones that emigrate should be the less qualified (or competent) ones.
Not so fast. These little bastards can be amazingly useful. If you can manage to use a Gnu/Linux box, you can use a Raspberry PI 3 as a (very) capable Graphic terminal for your cloud appliances without worries.
I'm using a bunch of crap, I mean, Raspberry Pi Models B (that one with 512Mb) in a little cluster for miscellaneous tasks, and the damned things work fine. I built a web radio for my home with two of them, and they still have a lot of juice to spare.
Banana Pi and Orange Pi are also capable machines, but lack the support Raspberry Pi has. But other than that, there's some interesting applications for a small computer (smaller than a 3.5" sata HD") with sata ports.
Or, as my dad used to say... "A poor workman always blames his tools"
My grandpa used to say "Use the right tool to the job : don't blame the pipe wrench for destroying the nut if you are too cheap to buy a proper nut wrench.". He was a mechanic.
Doing serious, professional programming using a Raspberry Pi when you are better served by a i5 with 8G RAM is just... childish.
Jobs had is own ideas about how Apple should do business. If you really used to use Apple products on the last 10 years, you should had noticed how things changed course slightly before his death.

The first two sentences were from the parent post. Somehow, the quoting failed on me here.
Yes, but who is going to defend me from you?
I have my own gun, and I use it to defend myself from you. I shoot you, you shoot me. In the end, I'm still dead. Now, if neither of us had a gun in the first place, we would both still be alive.

I had not had a SystemD for an Year now. Not a single one.
I wonder if there's something to do about not using nothing with it since in the last 12 months?
"Son, that's the deal. You wash the dishes this lunch, and I let you play Okami for the rest of the day".
Then take the PS3 to somewhere else, where he can not access it.
But leave the PS2 attached into the TV with a pirated Okami copy.
When you see the kid playing, say "This is what I was talking about"
So they didn't fixed the crashing - they postponed it by throwing hardware into the problem.
Kudos, moz://a . On the Microsoft way. If at least you had the money to buy your way out, uh?

Sun Microsystems? It's you? AGAIN?
No. He is splitting the command in more than one line. The next input would trigger the killing frenzy.
Not enough UNIX, as it appears.

Go to ~/Library. Search for the application name. Delete the folder. Done.
There's a lot of things going wrong on MacOS. But this is not one of them.
So this should be called ActiveY? Active, why?
Because the passive ones are us. =P

SCO also refused to accept they had a lost case.
Let's see how they accept the bill at the end.
Do you see what I mean?
IoT . Google wants to control your IoT.
ActiveX.
Good luck with that. We will need it.

Definitely not Hogan's resume.
According to his boss Wilhelm Klink, no one has ever successfully left the company.

Oh dear god no! Please! I'd rather use a Mac!

Brighter than you, as it appear.

the entire win 10 OS is a virus why the hell would i ever want that.....EVER you could make 7 slower then windows 1 , id still never want it....9 or 8
Being that the precise reason they are slowly turning Win7 into Win10. Patch after patch.
He's literally ignoring that Apple was the only company to ever fight against DRM in their products.
No. Steve Jobs did that. And Jobs is dead.
Really, it's no different than loading up you car with merchandise that you did not pay for.
What's completely different from loading a stolen car with merchandise that you did not pay for.
