Wine is not stuck in the Windows 2000 era for sure, as I have run many applications specifically designed for XP
My desktop PC runs Win2k. There are very few Win32 apps it can't run. However, in the last year new releases are becoming incompatible. I can't update Flash from version 11, for instance. So, if it's "stuck in the Windows 2000 era" that actually means you can run just about any XP or Vista program up to 2012.
If you deactivate your cellular service entirely, then what do you do when you're stuck in a place with no Wi-Fi (or with Wi-Fi for employees only) and need a ride home?
Shoot up a flare. Or, if you don't have a flare gun, ask to use one of the phones on every desk/bar/whatever.
Hey, I will go for that and just keep my pedal to the metal.
First time you do it you will get a massive fine, repeat and you'll lose your license. Only in a case of a true emergency that you could justify to a court would you get away with it.
If McDonald's can do it for free, then by all means, spend the 45 billion and teach them a lesson!
The $45 billion is to supply broadband to every home. McDonald's isn't doing that. No one is, which is the issue. Leave it to the profit motive and you'll only have affordable broadband in middle class urban areas.
They're in a legal dispute with Dish over this. Don't you think it would have been a bit damning to their case for Dish to say in court "but you even gave us awards for how great and innovative of a product it is"?
Quite irrelevant, since the court isn't deciding if the product is "great and innovative". It's deciding if it's legal. It's easy to think of products that would be great to use, but are arguably illegal.
Tags are created when someone applies them, and show up when a minimum number do. It seems some have been blacklisted, so you can't use, e.g., "yes", "no" as used to be a way of using a tag to comment on a story.
I wonder if they used the old mass or the corrected mass when they estimated the ballistic trajectory, because, you know, that might make a bit of a difference in just how far it'll miss by...
No, it wouldn't. As Galileo demonstrated for centuries ago.
In Two New Sciences (1634) Galileo discusses the mathematics (first to apply mathematics for physics analysis) of a simple type of motion what we call today uniform acceleration or constant acceleration. Then he proposes that heavy bodies actually fall in just that way and that if it was possible to create a vacuum, any two falling bodies would travel the same distance in the same time. On the basis of this proposal, he predicts about balls rolling down an inclined plane, Finally, he describes some inclined plane experiments corroborating his theory.
He was investigated for disclosing "confidential taxpayer information". Right. He used real customer names and numbers? At least they could be honest and say his crime was making a joke about his job -- and since it's a government job, at the tax department, (though he didn't actually say that in his game) it's not like they have to worry about losing customers.
What's inane about it? I don't have a ready shorthand of things x metres across in my head
Well, I don't have a mental shorthand of what kind of "football field" the guy is talking about. Anyway, you could as easily say 50 yards which is an actual unit in the real world that everyone knows, even if they don't watch football.
The Stupid Fucking Article linked doesn't even say how close the fucking asteroid will come.
Why source a story sourced from NASA to some wanker's blog in Network World"?Presuambly this asshole just submitted it himself to get more pageviews.
The actual NASA story is Record Setting Asteroid Flyby And it actually tells you that "On Feb. 15th an asteroid about half the size of a football field will fly past Earth only 17,200 miles above our planet's surface." (Sadly even NASA use the inane "football field" measure, but goes on to say "It measures some 50 meters wide".)
would be for body fur/hair to re-emerge? I wonder why this didn't happen? Ok , obviously they're wearing clothes and had fire but if you're STILL cold even with that assistence then surely having more body hair would help you keep warmer?
The advantage of clothes is that you can take them off when you get too hot. Even in Siberia, it can be warm in the daytime, in summer. When dogs lie in the shade panting, we can put on a hat, drink some water from a container, and keep going. My Persian cat has a thick fur coat, and is very comfortable in winter. In summer, it lies on its back on the tiled floor trying to stay cool and I have to get out the clippers.
That's why the whole concept of "Alien" is dumb. A "perfect killing machine". No, a gun is a "perfect killing machine". And if it breaks, unlike, say, teeth, we can fix or replace it easily. Technology (which includes clothes and weapons) gives us an incredible advantage over biology in almost all situations.
so I must have completely missed the memo advising that the production of Glee is totally free of any intellectual property rights and associated issues.
I must have missed the memo that anything that someone can imagine is linked to copyright in some way is on topic here. Even though it isn't even mentioned in TFA. Any random article about show biz is on topic then.
Don't bother to RTFA. I did it for you. Complete waste of time. Some no-name blogger, who just rambles on for a few paragraphs about making trillions of dollars from asteroid mining, to get hits on his ads. He's had other equally useless articles linked here.

AT&T eventually figured out he was making calls from a smartphone
OK, so the iPhone is ID-ing itself . Is there an app that lets you masquerade as another device?
It might also be useful in dodging malware targeted at your hardware, as well as the phone company picking your pocket.

As of the stories the guy had not been fired or another done to him.
Yes he has.

any article pertaining to the sordid state of IP laws
Which TFA is not, it isn't even mentioned.

What the hell is wrong with you people. Whether or not you like the style of his song is completely fucking irrelevant.
What's completely fucking irrelevant is this story about a song on "Glee" being featured on Slashdot. Is this TMZ or Variety?
Not concerned about the other murders? I guess it hurts less when you're stabbed or bludgeoned.
I'm concerned about lots of things. I was just specifically mentioning some areas where the USA is prominent.
There are plenty of games in which you can play as the Nazis, Imperial Japan, the Soviet Union in a hypothetical WW3
All historic enemies, none current threats. All safely in the past.
So do you really imagine that there's something special about "the terrorists"
Apparently so, since no one has done it.
I'm surprised that those games aren't here already.
So, it is not a "matter of fact", it's just something you think might happen.
If Google did its job, the first links would explain the nature of the bankruptcy.
Its job if it were Wikipedia. Google just agglomerates pages that mention specific words. It doesn't analyse or explain them.
I was responding to a post about real deaths in the real world.
The United States (geographical area) is relatively peaceful.
Except for drug crime, gun murders, yes.
As a matter of fact, I bet they would.
Get back to me when it actually is "a matter of fact".
