Because ultimately the digital storage is just a bunch of brittle plastic ( dvd ) and non permanent ferrous spots on metallic plates. Really its all the same thing, just now you have to also contend with a faster 'obsolesce' of your medium due to technologies lack of a long term memory and no respect for 'yesterdays' history.
She's a socalist. You havent been paying attention apparently. One of her biggest projects : 'socialized medicine' should tip you off pretty easy with out having to dig any deeper.
Often people at this level get contracts that guarantee them $ on early leave. Its designed partially to protect them in the event the board suddenly decides they don't like his tie and wants to can him. The company going under would qualify im sure, so hes gets the agree upon severance.
... and the beginning of DRM on every broadcast. Now broadcaster can determine what/when/where/how long you can watch anything. And say good bye to independent stations with an alternative viewpoint.
What a deal. Makes me proud to be an American. phhft
Arm is still lower power. That is pretty important.
But i do agree there is a large x86 codebase out there. ( but then again, there also is a decent sized codebase for ARM and other embedded processors )
If i had metered use again, id rather have the throttled version, at least i wouldnt get hit with some stupid charge i wasnt expecting due to the tons of spam i get each month or a out of the blue DDoS attack..
But wait, i now see the big deal which i missed before i posted, the key word here is 'unmetered'. I didn't realize that they were still sticking it to their users like the bad old days of the likes of genie and CompuServe dial-up, pay per use bandwidth.
So, I guess downloading OO from somewhere else counts against your time and i assume costs money. Before they pulled it, it was free to fetch.
Are their users restricted to only get what is offered by their ISP? If not, why not just go somewhere else to download?
Its their storage/local bandwidth that is at stake here, why should they support competing products since one is their own? Or am i missing something key here?
Slashdot Mirror
American Indians did this long before that with smoke signals with people on top of hills.
Theory goes that long before that the ancient pagans of Europe did a similar thing near stonehenge.
Or worse, you get some large company 'joe jobbed' out of existence for a few days and lose millions in sales.
Hmm good blackmail tactic tho.

If they are *facts* then its fair game, regardless of how embarassing they are.
The WTO has a lot of control ( blackmail ) over other sovereign countries when another with lesser laws gets irritated.
Sorry, chucky boy.. but satire is considered fair use.
Be happy someone still cares enough to use your name, considering you are pretty much a has-been at this point.
If you are an example of the voting public, we are screwed.

Is all about control of the people. Remember this when you go to vote.

If they can find a market for it. Its going to be hard to unseat the arm.
"generic" embedded devices come to mind. ( but you have the pc104 standard there already..
For a 10000 dollar device.
I say pirate every piece of music you possibly can, that is under their control. Oh, and send them a copy too.
Then go out and support your local independent band.
I already own all the movies i want, so for me it would be buying them *again*.
.now regular DVD... )
( beta..then video disk then VHS
Yet another format to have to buy all our stuff in, again.
I guess thats one way to keep the MPAA in business, every 10 years or so have to repurchase our movie collection.
If not, ill worry about it later, i have gifts to wrap.
You can still toast a bios if you unplug during an update, so a 'modern' Chernobyl is still a possibility.
The media is destroying the term much as they did the term 'hacker'.
Clueless people trying to use big words to make themselves sound smart.
I think at $150 a GB, id disconnect and not bother.
If i had metered use again, id rather have the throttled version, at least i wouldnt get hit with some stupid charge i wasnt expecting due to the tons of spam i get each month or a out of the blue DDoS attack..
In some areas, they do have one as you really dont have any practical alternatives other then disconnecting.

sucks to be them.
