Retired people are not an industry. Going by your numbers, it's the trial lawyers who are the #1 contributing industry. I'm not sure that's any better than it being Hollywood.
Yes, he is the inventor of the World Wide Web more or less, and the first http browser and server. I'm surprised you hadn't heard of him.
The problem is he didn't come close to inventing the Internet, hence the GP to this post. The Internet is just a big honkin wide area network that uses IP as it's underlying protocol. The Web is an application.
Huh? This is 'Interesting'? I'll let you in a secret...even deep space is filled with dust. You don't need an atmosphere to have dust. Heck, the 'atmosphere' of some distant exotic world could be MADE of fine dust for all we know.
Mars may have an atmosphere that's quite thin comparted to ours, but it's far denser than vacuum and it's PLENTY to move megatons of dust around in the form or storms.
Nope, I read your post and I still maintain you've got some other problem. I drive a TV and a monitor from my machine and it seems to work fine. It's not my main workstation, it's more of a shared media machine for the family.
I never have any stuttering or pausing problems with video playback on Vista via MC or any other means. I think you might have some other problem because it's certainly not Media Center causing it.
Altogether off topic. This is about a major country adopting open *standards*. Nothing says they need to use Open Source Software, Linux, or ditch MS to do so. You're grasping at troll straws.
The people in power devote their lives and energies towards acquiring and keeping power. Geeks devote their lives and energies into creating things. That answers your question.
Which is why the government just loves running our school system. Dumb 'em down right so they will be nice sheeple when they grow up, more concerned with buying the latest tech toy or fashion than in anything real going on in the world.
It was a bone thrown to AT&T so they could sell fat text messaging plans, or gather fat fees from people who go over their limit and end up paying per message.
A slightly used bridge in Brooklyn. I'll sell it cheap, I promise.
As PT Barnum said, there is a sucker born every minute. Sadly for the MPAA, this got covered too widely and we aren't all suckers. I certainly hope some Attorney General somewhere is looking at this.
Yes they use the phrase, but that's all it is, a phrase. There is no meaning to it and they most certainly don't follow it. The lost that ability when they went public. There is no good or evil with regards to a publicly held company; only profitable and unprofitable.
You replied to someone with the word 'MacFanboy' in his handle Do you really expect any logical arguements to work? Fanboy = religious zealot. Apple can do no wrong, ever, in this person's eyes.
That being said, I'm not sure whether the FSF has any grounds to make any accusations at all. Rest assured though that if they did, MacFanboys everywhere would find a way to explain/excuse it away.
You do not have free speech in your workplace. The First Amendment applies to Government restricting speech, not your employer. His mistake was using work machines to update his blog. I wouldn't fire someone for that, but I would have a talk with them about using company resources for personal political activities.
Keep work at work and everything else out of work.
Um, Libby's charges stemmed from his grand jury testimony. It had nothing to do with Congress. Fact checking is a good thing:)
I noticed that he wasn't pardoned though. He still has to serve his probation and pay a stiff fine, he just won't be doing jail time because of a political witchunt.
You mean the beginning of large scale structure in the Universe are still in our reach. You say we've missed nothing, but we have no known way to *ever* see back to the initial conditions at the 'moment' (terms referring to time are rather irrelevant the 'instant' before 'time' began) just prior to whatever created the Universe.
No, that would be Microsoft's fault if it's true, and I'd say the same about them. Thing is, we're talking about iPhones and Apple here, not the Zune and MS. Try to stay on topic.
Or buy a phone that doesn't make you jump through hoops to use it? I can't believe you're actually saying people should use kludges just to use a phone. Amazing.

'Amoral' means devoid of moral distinction. You were looking for the word 'immoral'.
Advertising to people who can barely afford a computer and can't afford one with an OS probably isn't all that lucrative.

If the extra dimensions are indeed on the scale of .01 mm then there is hope that they will be able to one day experimentally prove it.

My phone can send real email with real attachments, *or* it can send MMS. It sounds like it's your phone that is the problem after all :)

It's not about hating iPhones. The iPhone is an inanimate piece of tech gear. It's about hating the ultra hype and all of the fanbois/apologists.
I wasn't going to bother feeding him. My Motorola Q does everything I need including quite a few things the iPhone doesn't do.
It's called not having had my coffee yet when I posted. I'd been awake only a few minutes, hence the horrid spelling and bad mood ;)
