Don't worry, by the time you are able to do that, they will have implemented twice as much security holes directly in the browser. it might be slightly less bloated (more likely : much more bloated) and some of the holes will be advertised as "features" but they will be there nonetheless.
all they need to worry about is the relatively small windowing, audio, and input code which shouldn't take a seasoned developer more than a week to hack up.
Actually according to some news outlet traffic of eurostar shuttles (between france and england) has more than doubled. I also found news saying there was an increased number of high speed train at least between paris and brussels. I would say, yes, overall the train activity has increased to partially absorb the grounded passengers.
The problem is one of spare capacity however. The rail system may be fantastic but it is also already pretty heavily used. sure they can double the number of train on some lines for some time but they only have so many trains and so many lines to make them run on. Building a train takes some time, and I doubt they will be ordering much more new ones just because of a temporary lapse in plane traffic.
Additionaly train is more interesting than plane only under some conditions of population density and maximum distance. sure you average train station can be in the middle of a city but even high speed train run only around 300-350km/h thats slow when compared to the 750-800km/h of a jetliner. for really long distances train _is_ slow. Since boarding is much faster however and stations are usually easier to reach, it makes complete sense when the added transport time is compensated by the gained boarding/checking/local transport time
As much as I would like to agree with you, Japan didn't surrender after a first explosion on one of their cities, do you seriously think it would have surrendered after a show off over the ocean ?
(disclaimer, I am not american, I am not japanese)
I just wish they would include some kind of sed in the default shell
oh and while I am at it, how about a way to set a variable from the result of an expression without resorting to a pseudo for loop ? you know something like set var=`echo toto` instead of for/F %%x in (`echo toto`) do set var=%%x
even better how about an improved version of echo which would be able to write the following to a file when %var% is 1 ? echo var=%var%>>test.bat
try it and have sooooo much fun discovering that the "right" syntax is echo var=^%var%>>test.bat
sounds like a very stupid thing to do for an ISP : If amy of their customers uploads illegal content the ISP could be held accountable since they are the owners...
however I can't say I am really satisfied. while it works flawlessly for simple uses, I find that permissions don't map very well between linux and Windows,leading to some very frustrating situations where changing permissions in unix results in locked files on window or the reverse requiring a sudo to fix. there is most likely a fix for this but it is not obvious:(
I really would like a truly portable filesystem which enforces an authentification and authorization scheme with support across multiple OSes.
You don't get it: cylons have been secretly developped by the US army and are being sent in space as we speak.What do you think was on the shuttle ! Once combined into a mothership they will deflect nibiru and we are all safe... for some time.
I am afraid you lack perspective, the currently prevailing order is very recent. I'll be generous and give a hundred years.
Music and art has existed for at least a few millenia. Some of the most acclaimed pieces of music were written at a time when the media industry didn't exist. Ever heard about these guys : Mozart, Beethoven, Salieri, Bach, Tchaikosky, Prokofiev,... ? if not, you should give it a try, you probably heard some of their work already even if you don't know it.
My point being that the motivation for art is (was ?)_not_ money but art itself. Some of the greatest artists known to us were poor or ended up dying poor but still painted of wrote music that enlighten us today. And I am not even sure this is not the case today.
The media industry is being made obsolete by the advances of technology, and it's trying to fight it. Good luck with that. In the end artists will revert to being sponsored by rich people, they will stage live performances where they can get people to pay to come see them, and the media industry will disappear or transform beyond recognition.
How do you define a game ? Even real life games are just a set of rules (more or less complex), to apply the rules you may need a physical item, but in most games you can easily use anything as a token for such or such piece of the game.
Now video games are just extremely complex sets of rules (thus information) encoded as a computer program along with images and sounds both of which also are information.
Does it really matter ? all the rechargeable batteries get slower and slower as they recharge. charging the first 80% is much faster than charging the remaining 20%.
Even if that ratio is brought back to 50% to make the battery marketable (recharge and go in 3 minutes),it's ok. On a 500 miles battery that would leave 250miles autonomy. And the capacity is bound to be increased as the technology progresses.
I don't have the time to check right now, but I think I read that the electric motors are more efficient than gas powered ones, therefore an electric car could go the same distance with less energy no ? where you need 3Megawatts to go 500 miles with gas, you may end up needing only 1Megawatt, thus only 500kW for 250 miles.
There is no going around the fact that motorized transportation requires a dense energy source and that there is little difference between a dense energy source and a bomb.
You do know that a 1 in a million chance has to occur all the time. We have proof it actually does in the holywood videos, their cars explode all the time !
Does it really matter ? I live in France, here high speed internet is provided mainly through ADSL (and deployment on fiber has started). Each ADSL connection comes with a wifi enabled box which also serves as router (we also get phone and some TV in the package).
At least two providers give you the option of joining their roaming network : you enable your bow to be a roaming access point, in exchange you get credentials for the roaming network allowing you to connect to any of their box with roaming enabled.
Considering the density of deployment here, it means a lot of the city is covered. Actually, inside of buildings it can be hard to access it because there are too many access points interfering with each other...
In this case the ISPs are not exactly paying for more than they already offered to their customers, they simply changed the software on their boxes to allow for a new service. (I heard rumors that some of the isps plan to deploy femto cells too).
let's assume the simple case of a single user system for a sec : I wish that for portable media, the file system were mounted in way such that it makes the current user the owner of all the files on the drive (ignoring any userid if they are present)

The problem on multiuser systems would be identifying the 'current' user. That could be defined as the user connected to the Display connected to the local monitor.

Among these e-mail providers is Gmail, and I hate websites that prevent me from using the + sign.

would a beowulf cluster of these be enough ?

Ionise the ash cloud with lasers and use an electro magnetic field ? :D

Yes that is what it means. A subsidy is not alway a direct gift of money.
Subsidies can be provided in the form of a tax break which is exactly what happens in the case of French Diesel.

Do they throw in a chair with that one ?
You mean that on a major version number change they can't even partially break backward compatibility? I think they did too ... just not on this.
