So Google, IBM, Apple, and everyone else who contributes time and money to open source projects should stop doing so because you want to write something in your basement and take 20 years to do so?
They will look you carefully in the eyes, consider what you asked and and after a few seconds answer with a one liner, that never actually tells you anything.
Oh, yes, of course, an open sourced codec is clearly the same problem as a platform-specific closed source product designed to lock the customer in to a particular vendor.
The only thing they have in common is that you hate them both.
I guess you still haven't gotten around to replacing the shitty speakers your computer came with by a decent surround sound set yet. My computer speakers are the surround sound system for my living room. The center channel speaker just happens to sit under the monitor.
And I'd far rather sit on my $400 multi-way-adjustible office chair than on an immobile couch with no back support.
Interestingly enough, the number of people willing to share information with a provider seems to correlate directly with the likelihood that the provider will spam you with "targetted advertising" and "special promotions."
A good manager deals with the paperwork of requisitions, financing, and getting "buy in" from "customer" departments and management.
A good manager makes sure your projects have visibility, and that their successes and ROI are broadcast through the company so your department doesn't end up downsized.
Having technical knowledge is good for a manager to understand what their team is doing and what they're saying in meetings, but "technical knowledge" is not and never has been what the manager's job is about. A good manager doesn't need to understand the details, because they're not micro-managing their staff.
In the US, yes. They've been out of use and restricted in Canada for many years now, but as per usual the US "it's too expensive" lobbyists have kept old, insecure technology online far past it's due date.
Something else PETA fails to consider is that their drones would be disturbing the wildlife and causing it nearly as much stress as the hunters by preventing them from feeding. And you can bet PETA would be disturbing a hell of a lot more wildlife with their drones than a hunter, who is restricted to walking distance.

High performance RDBMS indexes do indeed parallelize scans and index searches.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. :P

So, just like politicians and lawyers, eh?
"postal email"? What, do they send you USB sticks with letters on them?
Can you point to any vendors being locked out by the use of VP9, other than through their own volition?
The sky is not falling, Chicken Little.
Nonsense.
It's a common elitist attitude to claim that only the rich have time to think.
It makes it easier to ignore the arguments of the masses by claiming they haven't given the problems any thought.

It may not be new technology, but I'lll bet it's a new price point for the technology.
Assistive device manufacturers are not exactly known for being generous to those who need their tools.
Selective breeding is not genetic modification.
I am so god damned tired of fucktards like you screaming about the sky falling.
Cue the organic food fanatics for the same countdown.
Both sides of the argument are full of hyperbole and bullshit. As per usual, the truth lies between.

It's worth noting that Facebook calls them "Messages", not "Private Messages" as some forums do.
All of which is hardware that doesn't exist on an old XP box unless you try to add it.
If they ever figure out how to harness the energy of his ego, we'll have free power for the entire world for as long as he lives. :P
Kanye this. Kanye that.
The bloodsucking money hungry leech just won't go away...
Bastard can't even sing.
But that's not a good manager.
A good manager gets input from their team before making commitments.

Pay cash. Drive them crazy. Make them count instead of swipe.
You mean like buzzing the whole area to scare the game off and prevent it from feeding as it normally would?

And, yes, if I see someone wearing them, I'm going to assume they're turned on and active.
What would be the point otherwise?
The problem is if someone pulls out a cell phone or camera to take a picture, you can see them doing so.
There are no such visual cues with glassholes.
