And that is exactly the kind of conflict that will bring it to the Supremes. The Feds will try to get information without a warrant and the conflict will ensue.
By your logic there has been no 'damn good' version of Mac OS X either then. They have updated it numerous times and still issue updates/patches.
Disclaimer: I think OS X *is* a damn good OS. I was just pointing out the bad logic in the parent. If Mac OS X is so good, why did they need Leopard? If Leopard IS 'damn good' then I suppose that means there will never be another point release of OS X?
Right now they are two different things. US vs Forrester was a ruling by the 9th Circuit Court and this recent ruling was the NJ State Supreme Court. If they come into conflict it will have to go to the US Supreme Court. Incidentally, the 9th Circuit is one of the most overturned appeals courts in recent years.
I am guessing this issue will one day wind up before the US Supreme Court. We know that Congress won't address the issue, so it will probably be left to the lawyers in black robes.
Most Congresscritters cost about the 'cost' of tax cuts and how they can 'pay' for them, as if it were their money. Rarely do you hear them talk about the 'cost' to citizens of raising taxes or spending.
It is much the same mentality at work when they talk about how much OSS has 'cost' businesses.
I stopped buying when they published the horrid 3E rules. My old books and house rules work just fine, and I have been creating my own campaign content for over 30 years so I see no need to purchase any 3rd party add ons or modules anyways.
No, I got his point. I was just saying that I think *he* missed the original point that he was objecting to. Did you not see me say you have more options with a desktop?
I think he meant in terms of times past. There are *so* many options on laptops today, from accellerated graphics to different color cases and all sorts of combinations of processor/memory/storage. Of course you can customize desktops far more, but the laptops of today compared to even five years ago offer a huge range of options.
What is the actual percentage of the market for laptops who are developers? The summary almost makes it sound like it's the entire user base and that manufacturers are ignoring a huge and important market segment.
Just one example of what might go on that we can't see with regards to lunar dust storms. Took me all of a few seconds to find and there looks to be a lot more to read. Google is your friend.
We've been doing that for centuries. Anyone who marries a girl without seeing what her Mom looks like is daft. Granted, this would be higher definition, but still...I'm just sayin'...
The adage is "Like the mother, marry the daughter" as I recall, and yes my tounge is lodged in my cheek.
What really concerns me about Google and MS getting into the medical data business is that they are NOT covered by the HIPPA law (privacy rules). They can data mine your medical data, should they get it, to their hearts content.
I suggest people in the US contact their Congresscritters about revising HIPPA to cover online web accessible databases.
Um, they are not talking about the nation's Internet. They are talking about civilian Government agencies and their Internet connections. Even IF they had to 'take the whole thing down', it would just mean that US Agencies would be offline until it was fixed. Inconvenient, yes, but hardly 'the entire country'. Heck, I'd be willing to bet that productivity within said agencies would go UP while the links were down!
Except it was just a reference to a man and his work, not a discussion on the validity of chaos theory as applied to dynamic systems. While you are more or less correct you do not have to be pedantic about it nor imply that the original parent was trolling.
You might get modded troll or flamebait by the people who didn't understand your subtle reference. It could have been a butterfly taking off in New Mexico though. We aren't quite sure.
A great man whose contributions will be remembered for centuries to come has passed. I think I'm going to fire up a fractal generator and play with Lorenz Attractors now.
I have CD's from when I bought my first $600 2x speed external SCSI CD-ROM drive oh about 12 years ago. They still work. Take better care of your shit maybe.
It is probably more along the lines of a wink and a nod and looking the other way, not organized government sponsorship. As others have noted, the 'Great Firewall' could easily block DOS attacks but didn't in this case.

Until they find out that the pituitary gland of humans confers absolute immortality when consumed by their species.
Speculation is fun. None of us have one fucking iota of a clue as to what intelligent aliens or their culture would be like.
But...but...the sumbitter managed to insert a spurious Star Trek reference!!! Surely that is newsworthy!

It doesn't matter if it's cheap enough for people in poor nations to afford it if it isn't durable or is subject to failure.
My point was that just because we can't see it from Earth doesn't mean it isn't happening. There's much we do not know.
no matter the past evolutionary impact of meat in the protohuman diet it is now unnecessary
Please provide credible academic citations for this assertion. It is incorrect.
Yes, it's a bit like comparing a ride in a nice go cart to a ride in a Nascar around the track at 200mph.

So YOU are the one spending my taxes on web surfing! I've caught you at last! Huzzah!

"We need more Government subsidies and tax breaks to build out more infrastructure (suckers)."
That is actually one of the main reasons I'll never buy one. I like having a real keyboard and can type without looking at all with my phone.
