It does support multitasking, it just doesn't support multitasking with third party apps through the official app store. The apple apps can multitask, as can third party apps on jailbroken phones.
Support for more hardware, especially workstation oriented hardware? Greater availability of applications? (Most desktop oriented apps are written for linux first and later possibly ported to bsd, many closed source apps cant be ported to bsd at all).
When i tried to use FreeBSD as a desktop, admittedly a few years ago, it worked well on my desktop (which was self assembled and intentionally bought using well known hardware) but wouldn't boot on my laptop (an ibm thinkpad 600e) and wouldn't run vmware (which was very new at the time if i remember and had no other alternatives)...
How many black men or women actually stand for election as senators?
When resume's turn up applying for jobs (in IT) there are usually little or no women or blacks applying, the vast majority are white or asian males. Employers can only employ the people who apply for jobs that they are qualified to do.
Another problem is that unqualified people will often get a job because they're a minority...
The problem is that a lot of people in these minority groups feel they're owed something... I have witnessed people bunking off school because they say they don't need it, they will be owed a job when they leave school and thus don't see the need to waste time learning anything.
Bullshit, I have seen many situations where a white male has not got a job or not been promoted because someone equally or less qualified but who happens to be from a so called minority was available too.
And in 2 generations, whites will ride on the back of the bus.. In 3 generations, men will lose the right to vote..
Going for equality is one thing, but a lot of these efforts are going too far. A lot of people simply aren't satisfied being treated equally, and are demanding preferential treatment.
Yeah, companies make unrealistically low bids to get the contract knowing full well there is no way they can do the work for that price... It would be cheaper to have people sufficiently qualified and independent to evaluate the options in advance... There should also be severe penalties for failing to deliver on budget and schedule.
People have often committed treason for reasons of greed, it's not unheard of for people to sell their country out because an enemy promised them a large financial incentive. Greed is probably the worst reason and should be punished accordingly, other people may commit such crimes because they are being blackmailed or threatened.
If you think like that, you could get most of the government for treason... High ranking members of the government siphon billions of the taxpayers money through the military and into their own pockets through awarding of contracts to suppliers related in some way to them... And anything else simply goes to the lowest bidder. If the government used a truly fair bidding system and properly evaluated the options, billions would be saved which the military could spend on other things.
I've read stories in multiple media sources about soldiers in afghanistan and iraq being killed because they were inadequately equipped, while at the same time reading about inefficiently run military projects which are wasting huge amounts of money (pouring into a select few companies nodoubt)... That money should be buying proper equipment for the soldiers on the ground, not fattening the wallets of politicians and their friends. People are actually being KILLED as a result of this.
We had some new, cutting edge (for the time), P233 machines at uni which had 2 large blanking plates at the front (no optical drives installed)... Someone removed the blanking plates, reached in and removed the cpus, and then replaced them with (much cheaper) p166 chips but left them clocked to 233mhz so noone would notice... This worked for quite a while, until the machines started failing one by one and being sent to the support dept for repair.
Incidentally, if you bought chips that were unstable at their rated speed you should have returned them and demanded refund or replacement, chips that wont run properly at their rated speed are defective... That's assuming your boss didn't buy them from somewhere questionable...
Google *should* just index what it finds, and thats what originally happened here...
There are thousands of sites out there hosting insulting pictures of george bush, some where he looks like a monkey or is compared to one and some where he's likened to adolf hitler... If you're going to do something that makes you famous, then you will attract a huge amount of attention and inevitably some of it will be bad. That is well known up front and you can't go crying about it when it happens. Noone forced obama to stand, and now that he's won there will be a lot of attention given to him and his family, if he doesn't like that he should have thought about it before.
Incidentally, when i woke up this morning i had no plans whatsoever to look for pictures of michelle obama on the internet, but having read this story i went looking for the picture in question and i'm sure a lot of other people will do the same. Had i stumbled across such pictures by accident without having read this story i probably wouldn't have thought anything of it because there are countless other derogatory pictures of famous people out there.
Sausages, like any processed meat, can vary massively in quality... I would generally avoid any kind of processed meat like burgers, sausages, pies etc in the uk unless it's a very posh looking place charging a fortune. Processed "meat" products, especially the cheaper ones typically don't contain very much actual meat, most of it will be the reject parts of the animal, ground up so you can't identify what it is... Watch out for any meat which is described as "mechanically recovered" or something similar...
On the other hand, there are some very nice places to eat in the uk depending what type of food you like, if spicy chinese food is your thing i recommend "new china" restaurant in london chinatown, if you go there ask for the spicy menu because they won't usually give you it by default if you don't look asian.
You have to be wary about internet cafes, who's to say they wont have keyloggers and other nasties installed on all the terminals... Do you really want to check your email on a machine that all kinds of unscrupulous people may have had access to?
He did say he was going to London, which last i checked was a central city in the UK... Any UK mobile operator which fails to have signal in London has to be pretty useless.
Does the optical drive come with its own agreement which is separate (and includes additional restrictions) to the agreement under which you bought the rest of the system, not disclosed to you prior to purchase, and also contain a clause stating you can ask for a refund if you disagree with it?
If they want to bundle multiple components which are available elsewhere, they should detail what portion of the total these components constitute... They don't do that precisely because they want to create the illusion that the software comes for free.
I'm 28 and i hate making notes on paper because they're too easy to lose and impractical to search... I do turn my cellphone off (or to silent) overnight, largely out of a desire to not be disturbed. I only ever write or print anything when someone else forces me to.
And paper books can break (they rip) if you drop them.
While that's true, the vast majority of people simply don't care.. They will take their large but very grainy picture and upload it to places like facebook, which will shrink it down so much the original quality doesn't really matter anymore.
You can get dirt cheap under $10 cellphones too...
But you are right, a wristwatch is more of a fashion accessory.
Personally i can't stand wearing a wristwatch, or any kind of jewellery, i hate having things like that clinging to my skin - it's a foreign object stuck to my skin that feels like it needs to be removed.

If ZFS is what you want (and on a desktop that's unlikely), Solaris has more mature ZFS support than FreeBSD.

Especially if the gross negligence was for the sole purpose of increasing profit, you effectively gamble with someone's life.

Reread the sentence:
"which may or may not be their own fault (eg getting drunk)"
getting drunk is an uncontrollable action that is the user's own fault...
Being in some way ill could result in an uncontrollable action that is not the user's own fault...

Those car companies won't stop you removing the unwanted equipment from the car and selling it to someone else...
Clothes are generally far more flexible. looser and more ventilated than jewellery or a watch...

Not just cellphones, i encounter people walking down the street reading books or playing handheld games that do this too.

The residue having built up over time, would also contain greater concentrations of these substances than typical smoke...
