Or do "exhibitions" like this read more into the material than was ever originally there? I really don't think Lucas is deep enough to embed philosophical questions about psychology, neuropsychology, and genetics, or gave two hoots about our "individual identities"...
And guess who has to fulfill that promise? Apple, as they distributed the binary and promise through their store, not you. You are not the distributor to your users, Apple is...
I have an Airbus A320 type rating - you can certainly stall an Airbus in Normal Law. The envelope protection will make it difficult, but you can do it withoutever degrading to Alt 1 or 2, or lower.
No Airbus pilot is taught that it's impossible to stall in Normal Law - its more difficult, but it can be done.
To be GPL compliant, they would have to distribute the source code to your app, as you are not the distributer - they are. linking to the code is not enough. I don't know of one app store which actually does this.
The airspeed dropped to a level where it was ambiguous (below something like 60 knots indicated), and that killed the stall warning. It reactivated when they pushed the nose down, which increased the airspeed to above the threshold.
No, they were never taught that Airbus aircraft will prevent a stall, no airline teaches that - what they did was assume the stall warning was incorrect, because they did not do their memory check lists as required by Airbus and Air France.
Why should the MPAA et al be giving free entertainment to troops?
Why aren't the armed forces supplying it in the same manner as this gentleman? Why aren't there extensive libraries at every deployment base, with ereaders and movie players?
Do you not remember Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2? The one which caused huge outcries of "my thing just stopped working?!" and caused a lot of software vendors to have to fix their broken applications, because Microsoft fixed a whole ream of issues with the Windows code base?
That was caused by the original outcries over continuous exploits and issues.
Microsoft did something. And I don't recall there ever being a large contingent of people claiming "theres nothing they can do".
Im guessing that, with that attitude, you are posting that comment using nothing but some wires, a battery and a fucking good knowledge of the tcp/ip protocol?
Every system ever built has the potential for issues, and the vast vast majority of systems have actually had issues - whatever you are using right now is not an exception.
Depends what you mean by "healthier" - go to any third world country and check out their cattle stock, especially the cattle owned in ones and twos by families for their own sustenance. I guarantee you its no healthier than western stock.
Actually, they probably do have a kit - in the UK you are given several bottles of liquid, which do different things depending on what the substance is. Drop a few drops on the item, or a bit of cloth that has been in contact with the item, and it will turn a different colour if it's a substance to be interested about.
Pricing is - eBooks should be lower priced (although not to the pennies on the pound level, I find that argument ridiculous) and currently they rarely are.
Neal Asher books - Gridlinked as an example, his earliest Agent Cormac book, first published in 2001, now published by Tor: £7.99 on the iPad, £5.11 paperback on Amazon, £4.75 Kindle edition.
Will the removal of DRM flatten out those pricing peaks and troughs? Will the eBook version go up or down? That will determine if piracy goes up or down.
The bank had security in place, the "victim" gave the keys to the kingdom to third parties - why should the bank take the fall for someone who is more than willing to give the criminals everything, voluntarily.
This ruling is pure common sense - if you as a customer aren't willing to take basic precautions then you need to suffer the losses.
It depends on the product - Dynamics CRM and SharePoint are almost entirely written in ASP.Net, while SQL Server and Exchange have supporting systems dependent on.Net (plus the end user tools).
Versions count against your storage, trash counts against your storage, Google Docs files do not, shared files do not.
No right-click menu in the desktop client, so no grabbing public links etc.
No ability to name the Google Drive folder, only choose its location (the same as dropbox, but a lot of people were hoping for "pick any folder anywhere").
Speed is a bit faster.
Storage prices a lot cheaper ($9.99/month for 200GB vs $9.99 for 50GB on Dropbox).
There is offline access to Google Docs stuff, not tried that yet.
The Windows client is very very very similar to an old Dropbox version - even down to "Selective Sync" within the Google Drive folder.
Android and iOS apps - no Blackberry app yet.
All in all, I haven't come to a conclusion yet - better in some aspects, worse in others. I think a lot of people were expecting a lot more from Google Drive than this offering.

If this were anyone other than Google, Slashdot group think would be shouting "incompetent company!" as loud as they could...

Its a series of films, people. Not much else.
How did it work before the internet then? Sure, there was piracy, but not on the scale we see it today - and music was still bought.
getting the same or similar for less money in the future is what I call progress.
The problem is, "same or similar" is *very* subjective in these sort of contexts.
iPhones and iPads as of iOS5.x now update over the air, without any PC or Mac interaction required (they can even activate OTA these days as well).
And guess who has to fulfill that promise? Apple, as they distributed the binary and promise through their store, not you. You are not the distributor to your users, Apple is...
And thats my point.

Richard Branson puts his name on things that already work - Brawn F1, Virgin Galactic etc.
This is far too early for him to risk his brand on.

Yup, because its not as if a Gmail account has ever been hacked ;)
Oh no, two "pro MS" comments in one story, I must be a shill!

Very clear cut, very quick, very easy to use.

What do you think the transaction authorisation numbers that he entered are supposed to be?
He gave the keys to the outer gate, the inner gate, the safe door and his daughters chambers. Not the banks problem.
Niceto know people can be as stupid as they possibly could be, and still be protected from their losses under law.
How was what the person in this story did not "gross negligence"?

I specified advanced setup, and I ended up with "Google Drive" inside of a folder I named "GoogleDrive" :(
Microsoft would be sued from here to the moon and back if they included this sort of sync within Windows, bound to their servers.
Oh, and also ripped to shit on here.
