I'm British - the German invasion of Britain was effectively cancelled three months prior to the US entering the war. If you were prone to fucking off, I'd *still* be speaking English right now.
Thats something some Americans forget when they try that argument - Britain had already successfully defended herself, and was also fighting extended campaigns in North Africa and the Middle East by the middle of 1940.
And as the "new standard" is little more than a smaller version of the "current standard" (read the proposals), Apple looks like they are trying to do an end run around the other patent holders and get a nice license from them for free...
No, because the actual likelihood of someone having these side effects are so small, plus you have to be predisposed to those issues as well.
I've used Lariam on all my Africa trips without any issues, and my wife (who is a Doctor with the British NHS) has no issues taking it herself, despite knowing the side effect list.
Bear in mind that when a drug lists "side effects", it isn't because you are likely to actually get them, its because they legally have to - looking at the list of side effects on Paracetamol, one of the most widely used self-medicated pain killers in the UK, gives you such wierdness as "itching, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, difficulty in breathing, unexpected bruising or bleeding, persistent tiredness, thrombocytopenia, hypotension, psychosis and disorientation." In reality, you aren't going to get any of those unless you are very very unlucky.
So you don't actually care about any discussion on the subject then, you just care that your pet is number one, regardless of whether its comparable or not.
Yes that is true, but I'm sure that if Apple actually wanted to cover the lower end of the market, they could and would murder Android overnight in pure devices sold - and I remain convinced that it's the manufacturers who are shoving Android on their low end cheap and cheerful that is giving them the #1 slot, and not intentional purchases of Android devices.
At one point NokiaOS had the #1 slot, but not because people wanted NokiaOS, it just happened to be sold with phones that covered 99% of the market.
So yes, you do need to look at what is actually going on before coming to an actual conclusion.
You are abit off on the A-10, as both the toolings and he detailed plans are in longterm storage - the DoD retains the ability to restart production at any time, it just needs funding. It's actually a rarity for military aircraft toolings and plans to be destroyed, most of the time they are stored for later use.
With the F-22 shutdown, Lockheed spent millions of dollars on video documenting every aspect of production, with the line workers detailing what they do and how they doit, so production can be picked up with a lower learning curve.
They don't even need a copy, or interaction with the same CA - any cert issued for the same domain by any CA will do just fine, which is why the creation of a CA in China recently was a hot topic, as it allows global MITM attacks by Chinas government.
Actually, rereading it you can take that in one of two ways, either "thats typical for projects of this type" or "thats typical of Microsoft *rolleyes*" - I took it in one way, which probably means others will as well. Apologies if it was meant in the other way.
Windows 8 isnt focusing on HTML5 and JS - its just adding them as a development pathway. Don't believe all of the outrage stories, they invariably aren't true...
To get code upstream Microsoft has to approve (pretty typical)
So, tell me, which flag ship open source projects main branch can you just merge your code into without approval? The Linux kernel? Apache? X? MySQL? Firefox?
Thats a fucking pathetic jibe "Unknown Lamer", not something an editor should be making.
It looks like 7Globals administration isn't strategic at all - they are still listed as "In Administration" on Companies House right now (entered on the 03/03/2012 for 7 Global Group Ltd and 15/03/2012 for 7 Global Ltd), with administrator appointment pending. A company cannot take itself out of administration without the administrator or court approval.
I'd move away from that company asap if I were you:)
Chapter 11 is significantly less harsh on th business than British Administration - in CH11, a companies board can survive the ordeal, while under Administration they instantly lose everything and leave the business.
In the US, CH11 is used strategically, for example see American Airlines - they waited until they had secured a $8Billion war chest before entering chapter 11, even buying $200Billion of aircraft in the run up to the declaration. Entering chapter 11 allows them to do things like break lease agreements (they had 50 or so aircraft sitting mothballed in the desert because they had reached the end of their useful life, but continuing to pay the leases was cheaper than paying the costs associated with returning the aircraft - but in chapter 11 one of the first things they did was just hand the aircraft back in an unflyable state...).
Chapter 11 is a business tool, while administration in the UK is a severe punishment. Huge difference in aspect.
And in retaliation, I would love for the UK and Japanese governments to seize local Google assets for eminent domain reasons, and create a Google (UK) public body.
Google isn't above the law, and this entire story is about forcing Google to comply with a court order - if it doesn't, then it deserves punishment. If it retaliates against that punishment, then it deserves to, essentially, die a corporate death in the courts jurisdiction.
I guess no one remembers the PlayStation (PSOne) drive failures etc etc? Or the PS2 disk read errors? I've been on slashdot well over a decade now (think I first hit this place in about 1999), and there was just as much bitching about the PSOne and PS2 and PS3 as there ever has been about the Xbox360 - the failure modes are different, but because the Xbox360 errors came in a clump they seem to stick in peoples minds more.
I work with a lot of charities around the world, and all of the big charities have their own way of doing things and refuse to work with you if you want to go your own way - its just the way they are.
It seems that quite a few people are miss understanding my point - I have no doubts that he could, but after he does would he still enjoy the game? How often do the Bungie devs play the games they wrote?
I have no issues with someone building something they want to play, but after being there myself I know all too well that the grind of doing so can easily kill the enjoyment.
I don't doubt he as the talent to pull it off, but I would love to know how often he plays Minecraft...
My point is, engaging in your hobby as an actual act of work usually destroys the hobby aspect - trawling through the bug reports and spending days tracking down that one elusive but deadly bug kills the fun aspect very quickly.
Writing the game you want to play will probably result in you never playing it for fun.
Unfortunately, the first semester of any Computer Games Development degree course is filled with kids who think just that - I like playing games, I have an idea, I would have fun building what I like to play. The second semester of those courses are usually much less full...
The gory details of creating games usually murders the fun of playing them:(

Congratulations, you have discovered that with unfettered physical access to a machine, no OS is secure. Do you want a sweetie or something?
Actually, my wife has just said to me that paracetamol has more documented cases of causing psychosis as a side effect than Lariam...

Finding one or two examples does not negate the point made.

I was going to go for the Rimmer shot, personally...

If I used something until it died, I'd still have vable underwear from 1987. Sometimes switching just because you want to s perfectly fine.
Particularly, how do you enjoy playing the games you write? :)

Lawyers didn't make it up, it's a well used word here in the UK. It's just fallen out of use in US English.
