Let me introduce the new feature: "The pixel replacement column" whenever you see a dead pixel, click on it and it will be shifted to the replacement column
Google has a revenue of sth like 30Billion/year. 60% of that is on their websites and i presum something like 40% comes from firefox users, which (according to my habit) mostly comes from the built-in search. Now lets say 50% of the revenue on the google websites is search-related. That makes 12% of 30Billion$ which could be lost. Lets say half of the people åre too lazy to change the default search engine, so we are talking about a loss probably larger than 1.5 Billion.
So paying 300Million seems a reasonable decision to me.
In the year in which i own the galaxy tab i spend more for buying software than in the ten years before. If an app does what i want and it costs $1 then i buy it. the price has an eception ally low priority in my buying decisions.
For andorid these are
a) Does the app require unreasonable rights without explaining?
b) has the app a clearly decribed concept what is does and what it doesnt?
c) does the app behave reasonably in the refundable period?
d) Are the many users with really strange problems.
If all poitns above are right, and the app is not trivial, i will pay $10 without thinking
a) You write it, you sell it (or support for it) if you dont, you *dont* have a job at all
b) Its your private fun to write it. Ask your employer about the conflict of interest and explain to them that you will publish it as Open Source.
c) You work for you employer and you do a little more work than the hours in you contract say. I say: forget what is written in your contract. Think if you are happy with the salary and the freedom or other advantages there. If yes, then stay and try to slowly rise the salary. If no, then go. Trying to get money for something you did as part of your job without clearly stating this before will reflect *extremely* badly on your attitude assessment.
b) i feel (=movies dont play without interrupting) that the processor is a little slow c) i am bored over the christmas holidays
d) i am worried the thing explodes or falls apart
if only a): attach a NAS and make an archiving system
if a) and b) or d): there are enough shopping guides for off-the shelf pc's out there. You priority should be energy consumption, reliablility and space for more hds. Condiser external sata boxes
Loyality is a two-way thing. If my employer is commited to me then i can be commited to my employer. If my Employer essentially gives me the feeling that he would replace me by anybody walking in, if the guy works for less, then i may go quickly.
I work for a good employer, and i would be willing to accept a lower payment.
Encryption/signing only makes sense if the key distribution happens on a well defined domain (e.g. inside a company). It has always been beyond my grasp why i should sign messages to people who have no trusted way of authenticating my signature. However, in the last company i worked for, keys were more or less correctly distributed for another purpose (logging into the WLAN), so i imported my key into thunderbird and used for signing my mails using s/mime. I was the only one who did, however, at least anybody *could* no verify if that mail was from me - if he really wants (or needs).
You open a shop in the same road as a very sucessful one and put their number sign (and the shop name, in case they use OCR on it) just when the google car passes by......
Isnt the use of weapons to blind enemies forbidden?
My recommendation: Just sink the pirate vessels. Dont sink the rescue boats however.
My recommendation for riots: Everybody who want to commit arson inside a city, please shoot him with normal ammunition.
The rest you have to live with and settle it in front of the courts and - more important - by giving the young people the chance to achieve well. That requires investment in schools, communities and university access for underprivileged citizens.
Well. There is an easy, clean way to do it, which is to cut down the network access and forbid the access to the filesystem outside well defined paths and there is a unclean, awkward and speculative way to do it. In they only know one login and the thing has a keyboard, then replacing the window manager (in the xsession) does not do much good. You also have to put an appropriate entry in the passwd (to prevent login from a console), lock down sftp etc. You furthermore have to rely on the fact that the Java App is bug-free.
Dont try to stay in one application and prevent access by this . Use iptables and apparmor to prevent everything you dont want the pupils to do. If they find a way to crash the app they are using, it will be no problem.
a) either a lot of pseudo-security researchers jumped on the 'lets loose USB sticks on the train' train
b) being careless enough to loose a usb stick is correlated with being careless enough not to encrypt it and both are correlated to be careless enough not to run your virus checker very often.
As a physicist: You are Idiot and uneducated in the history of physics. Lets take some instances of when people invented something "to make the math work" (uhm yes, thats what physicists are trying to do in the end.....)
a) Ether Wind. They made is up "to make the math work" as an alternative to "change the underlying euquations".... And the winner was "change the underlying equations". Without specific predictions from the Ether WInd Hyphothesis one could not have constructed the Michelson-Moreley Experiement
b) Neutrinos. Long predicted, because some momentum was missing. At that moment the neutrino was "dark matter". As we all know, Neutrinos exist. Is everybody would have believe that Neutrinos are utter bullshit because they "just ake the math work" nobody would have developed a theory for detecting them.
I dont think so. it may be more like "don't want to resist". Getting additional information helps you in a lot of ways. it may be reasonable to look at it, and egoistic, but this does not mean that you are compulsed to do it.
I honestly don't care. If they don't want to understand how things work and believe that they can build a working science on it, its their problem and let me say the following:
Evolution was found and is being put to test using the same principles which help us to develop semiconductors, nuclear weapons, the internet and basically everything in the modern life. Maybe they also would like to oppose quantum mechanics because it somehow makes the non/locality of god not so unique? How about relativity (look at convervapedia how the christian fundamentalists see it)? Maybe lets restrict the internet because there are too many pictures of god inside? Lets define pi to be 3 like in the bible? Lets try not understand how particles formed?
I imagine that not narrowing the angle of view sufficiently to not understanding evolution hinders a lot of things. I suggest these people should go to conservapedia and help the evolution article there a little. And just to make that clear: I am pacifist but in the case that the freedom is in danger because of religion, i can only say that i will fight that with all means available. I don't need a holy book to derive my right to do that and i don't believe any legitimation to use violence can be taken out of any religious text.

Hang out in front of our vending machine as long as you like! Free internet!
in the moment when you have practices in farming which require feeding antibiotics constantly to cows, i suggest you change something.

There a 3 major ways of working:
a) You write it, you sell it (or support for it) if you dont, you *dont* have a job at all
b) Its your private fun to write it. Ask your employer about the conflict of interest and explain to them that you will publish it as Open Source.
c) You work for you employer and you do a little more work than the hours in you contract say. I say: forget what is written in your contract.

Yeah, exacly. What bad habits? These can all be learned in python: http://entrian.com/goto/
China resembles right now the history of germany 100 years ago.
a) introduce social security to enable a stable induatiralized society
b) dump into markets with low price, low quality (thats what "mage in germany" stood for in the 19 century in england)
c) increas the inductry and develop science and technology based on this financial grounds.
I hope and firmly believe they will skip the "lets kill a significant part of the population phase".
The point is: you can not lure r&d into the country without having production there. Produce, learn, then invent.
a) i am running out of hd space
b) i feel (=movies dont play without interrupting) that the processor is a little slow
c) i am bored over the christmas holidays
d) i am worried the thing explodes or falls apart

c) play around with something differnt.

The Amazon EC/AWS has a lot of options. You can start hosting at little cost and nearly unlimited scaling at no infrastructure cost.
AWS Cloudfront should handle any peak you can produce (as long as you dont do your thing right before christmas....) and the pricing seems ok.

It was the last resort in trying to keep up galileo invariance for the sake of an old mathematical concept.

Looking at the Internet i don't have the feeling that finding a hoster for Porn can be very hard....
Yes, i guess for the US you should build it with a big rental car parking building, maybe outside the city center.
