They will just ask Central Bank to print some extra money. Problem solved. For the rest of you, go to work to earn some pennies.
I'm assuming you are from the US, because that is were this "printing money is bad" meme seems to have been resurrected lately. Central banks are managing the money supply to balance and the economy, and in most modern western economies this is working as intended - keeping a stable currency value, steady low inflation and fueling economic growth or counteracting recession.
So I see the brainwashing regarding "minor inflation is good" did work on you. Back in my day, we had a word for FALLING prices on essential goods, it was called "progress".
Is that you can't KNOW for sure what actually happens. Essentially, vendors that utize closed-source firmware/software (basically almost everyone), like Apple, are asking their users to "just trust us that we aren't doing anything really stupid or malicious". After all the Snowden revelations, I find it pretty hard to trust ANYBODY with ANYTHING. Reassureances are not good enough, I want actual tangible PROOF.
I am so sick of this "magical thinking" when it comes to Android. There is something like a dozen making Android phones, how many of those have been consistently profitable with Android? ONE, and that is Samsung. HTC and LG have made profits, not consistently mind you, and with LG their profits on a lot of phones can be measured in pennies.
Like it or not folks, and this is coming from somebody that uses an Android phone that I'm quite happy with, with Android you have a race to the bottom where the VAST majority of Android sales in the under $185 price range and this market, the ultra low end? is a market that Nokia could NEVER compete in, okay?
You're stupid. Look up Asha. Nokia succesfully competed not in just sub-185$ market, but in sub-100$ market as well.
As an IT manager who oversees deployment and maintenance of about 60 desktops and laptops, some of which are shared among multiple employees, consistency in OS availability for the end user is key. We upgrade one or two machines per month, and we started using Windows 7 three years ago, so about 15 systems still run XP. We're not touching 8.1 until there are no more XP systems on our network, AND people show interest in actually using 8.1, AND at least one service pack has been released to address outstanding issues since its public release, AND we discover a way to disable the "Tiles" start screen.
You will be waiting a very long time then, considering 8.1 is essentially the service pack for 8. The concept of a "service pack" is dead, Microsoft has long planned moving to rolling releases a la MacOS X.
Technically not true. There is lots of BSD-originated code in proprietary systems. The Windows version of the command-line FTP client that ships with Windows is a good example.
Correct. You are supposed to use an equivalent amount of force back. If your assailant has no weapon, you using a deadly weapon in responce will land you in prison.
You can shoot someone that jumps out of the shadows and starts beating your head in. That's actually legal virtually everywhere, including all over Europe. In most of Europe, it's very difficult for an individual citizen to legally carry the weapon to begin with, of course, but the right to self defense is hardly a US invention.
Not with a gun, no. In most (all?) European countries responding to getting your face smashed in with knuckles alone and no actual weapon with gunfire will land you in prison for years.
and don't visit countries that abuse visitors, unless you absolutely have to. Back when I was 15, I dreamt of moving to America, the land of opportunity and individual freedoms. By age 24-25, I no longer had the rose-tinted glasses. Now at 30 I am no longer even interested in coming for a visit.
Noone with half a brain believes Assad is behind the chemical attack because
1) He has nothing to gain by doing so 2) He has everything to lose by doing so 3) He is not a retard
Not to mention that the past 6 months have shown that Assad isn't exactly cornered, on the contrary, he has been pushing further and further back against the rebels.
Exactly how often are you in front of your gaming PC without internet access? Serious question.
If I found myself in this situation, my first concern would be getting back internet connectivity, gaming would be somewhere pretty damn far down the list. That being said, I find it pretty hard to end up without internet access unless it's deliberate. If my VDSL is down (which happens never) or if I am travelling, I can just connect use my iPhone's connection (99% of the country has mobile coverage). Even planes have Wi-Fi (I am in Europe).
AOL couldn't afford to have people 'giving the game plan away
This is amazing on so many levels. First of all, Abel was taking pictures for the company intranet blog. Like he did on the previous meeting and the meeting before that. Second: does Armstrong genuinely think there are people out there, outside of AOL, who actually give a shit what their "game plan" *IS*?
Actually the guys at the FSF along with the major Linux players like Red hat and Canonical really should get together and bake a really nice cake for Steve Ballmer, because he is singlehandedly doing what Linux never could, completely destroying MSFT and killing Windows. From the "LULZ HAI I'm a cellphone, seen my appstore?" Windows 8 debacle to jacking the price of both home and server versions of Windows in a dead economy to burning Xbox with his retarded "hey lets bleed the gamers for more cash!" scheme, his pathetic leadership and Dilbert PHB obsession with Apple and the stock price is completely trashing the company.
So you mean this is why Microsoft's net income has basically TRIPLED over the last 10 years?
That bug is caused by Slashdot still refusing to implement this 20-year-old technology. I mean, this being some sort of cutting-edge tech blog and all, who'd expect them to properly support a character-encoding technology that came out two decades ago?
Obviously, since Slashdot is cutting-edge, there is no way in hell it's going to be implementing technology that old.
the idea is dead on arrival in my country (Finland) due to the amount of paperwork one would be legally obliged to do and the fact that "obviously" you need to pay taxes on all of this.
There is no legitimate reason to post something like this. It's disgusting and unnecessary.
That is not for you to decide. And shouldn't be for anyone else to decide either. No person is harmed in this and it's not like the family of the person is being forced to watch at gunpoint. If they don't like it, they can just not go to the website.
Slashdot Mirror
Haha!
Yes.

The whole "MAKES" part. "Makes" assumes profit.
Revenues are not profits. Article title is an embarrassment.

Which sure as hell doesn't mean ftp.exe is licensed under the BSD license.
Technically not true. There is lots of BSD-originated code in proprietary systems. The Windows version of the command-line FTP client that ships with Windows is a good example.
After a false accusation of rape? You bet the person should be charged with SOMETHING.
Correct. You are supposed to use an equivalent amount of force back. If your assailant has no weapon, you using a deadly weapon in responce will land you in prison.

So basically, you havent looked at Intel CPUs of the past 2 years at all, right?
Better then that. My ivy bridge i7 2,6 Ghz Mac Mini (the entire computer, not just the CPU) idles at below 15w and maxes out below 60w at max load.
... against whom? the rebels or the saudis?

Since he's dead and can no longer defend his publication, it effectively becomes Yahoo's own publication
Using exactly what rationale? It becomes a publication of his estate.
This is amazing on so many levels. First of all, Abel was taking pictures for the company intranet blog. Like he did on the previous meeting and the meeting before that.

Call me when consoles can do:
* At least 60 FPS on 4k TVs.
PCs can.
Actually, they can't. With a monster like GTX Titan you would only get maybe 30-40fps maximum when gaming at 4K resolution.
Microsoft and Cisco.
