You know, there's a difference between being ordered to shoot some civilians in Vietnam, and deciding that you are going to break published classification rules that everyone is aware of, when no one's life is immediately at stake.
What if the classified information was about orders to shoot some civilians?
... in the year 2012, people are seriously suggesting others use filesystems that can (and eventually will) lose data on an unclean shutdown. C'mon people, this isn't stone age anymore.
There is no reason whatsoever that we should be rewarding people for simply having money.
There is no reward involved, there is just less punishment.
God forbid a person decides to take his/her own retirement into their own hands and prudently invest their money. No-o, we want everyone to be disinterested in savings, so that everybody can be forced into relying on goverment checks. Much easier to control the population that way.
I'm perfectly fine with the taxes being paid on only the profit. I'm just wondering why the hell simply having money to invest is rewarded more than actually doing work. Capital gains should be taxed at the same rate as ordinary income, if not higher. There is no reason whatsoever that we should be rewarding people for simply having money.
You have things completely backwards. Somebody already did work for his/her money and paid taxes on that income and now you want to enforce the same damn taxes on the income this person makes from his/her investment made with his already taxed money?
There, I said it. Nobody I know uses Messenger anymore, but practically everyone is using Facebook Messenger. Some have basically replaced both IM and email with it.
Windows (and, by extension, desktop computing) is irrelevant because people have iPads. Seriously, this guy is completely out of touch.
But it's true. You and I are not the general public and the general public at large does not need Windows PCs, because they do no actual work for which one is truly required. Your argument would apply if people genuinely mostly used their PCs to create things, but this is not the case in reality. Sad, I know, but it's true.
After seeing all those articles and images yesterday, I did my best to try and replicate this behaviour with my iPhone 5 and couldn't. No matter what light sources, no matter how bright, no matter whether they were fully or only partially in the shot, I couldn't get the purple haze to appear in my photos. What am I doing wrong?
A court order in Brazil gave an order, and google was in contempt, don't like it? change the law or don't operate there.
This logic doesn't work. "There" is globally, across the world, in over 140 countries. A ton of countries have laws that are in direct contradiction with one another. No, this doesn't mean that global companies should tailor their online presense to each and every country individually. I am free to publish a funny Mohammed cartoon here in Finland and I don't have to give 2 shits about what some jackass in Pakistan or Iran or wherever thinks about it or whatever their laws say about publishing such material or whatever their courts decide to "order" me to do. He is free to not access said cartoon if it offends him.
As our main focus is on quality, we have methodically increased our Model S production at a rate slower than we had earlier anticipated.
We now anticipate that we will deliver between 200 and 225 Model S vehicles to customers in the third quarter and between 2,500 and 3,000 Model S vehicles in the fourth quarter.
We anticipate, however, that manufacturing and supplier issues will continue to arise and need to be addressed in a timely manner.
In the third quarter of 2012, we anticipate that our gross margin will be negatively affected primarily by the limited number of Model S vehicles we intend to deliver
We also expect selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter to increase modestly over the prior quarter as we continue to increase our vehicle selling and servicing capabilities.
We have now fully drawn down our $465 million DOE Loan Facility.
The app itself is not the problem, in fact, the Apple Maps app seems to be faster than the Google one. The problem is the source data and no amount of software engineers hired is going to be able to solve this.
1) Inflation. The 20$ of 1990 was 26,35$ in 2000, 33,37$ in 2010 and 35,25$ today.
Inflation has nothing to do with it.
Sure it does. You need to come to grips with the simple fact that the purchasing power of fiat money decreases with time. 70$ today is just 40$ in 1990 money. As a matter of fact, games have gotten LESS expensive since 1990 in real terms, because games back in 1990 sure as hell costed more than 40$.

that not only is it occuring, but it's perfectly normal and to be expected.
Mandatory and automatic lock-up of a computer after a period of inactivity is neither new nor hard to enforce.

Why is Homeland Security dealing with counterfeit product sales?
Are sales of fake professional sports jerseys jeopardizing our national security now?
When IP becomes your country's biggest export, you bet.
"tekijänoikeusrikkomus" and "tekijänoikeusrikos" are 2 different things and the child is suspected of the latter.
Except, of course, that "tekijänoikeusrikos" which is what the child is suspected of is most definately a crime.
"Rikos" = crime in finnish language.
... they will learn to not have critical infrastructure accessible via the Internet?
One can only hope.

I happened to see 5 minutes of the show yesterday when I first sat down.. someone had TLC on it that show was on. 5 minutes was 5 minutes too many.
what do Tables, Ladders and Chairs wrestling matches have to do with this?

Only dirty open source hippies expect things to be free.
Consumers expect free. Not because of open source, because of the internet. Facebook is free, news is free, Google docs are free, everything is free.
How naive.
Because users actually prefer MS Office and are willing to pay for using it?

Drop the middle man and sell me $20 games rather than $70 dollar one (I live in Sweden) and I may start buying games.
This won't ever happen and it's stupid to even hope it would (beyond some niche/indy games).

I usually price stock at 1:1 price:revenue (a very traditional measure)
How did this get upvoted? There is nothing "traditional" about that ratio, in fact the poster came up with random gibberish.
And the P/E of Amazon is over 300.
