I love my IPod Nano, I like my ITouch... but please do not cite the ease of moving stuff onto Idevices using ITunes as a "plus" for Apple. ITunes is arcane, slow and bug-ridden. At least one of my devices has gotten into a state where there is content on it that just can't be managed via ITunes.
In comparison, my Window Mobile device had a horrible UI, but moving stuff onto it was a cinch... plug it in, drag and drop with Windows Explorer. It worked the same way everything else worked. Didn't have to run some other half-baked app and then try to navigate thru an interface and guess what it was going to do.
Lay a public wire under Main Street? From the article summary: "The mere fact that lawmakers and lobbyists now control the future of the net should be enough to turn us elsewhere.'" In other words, this whole discussion is about alternatives "laying a public wire under Main Street".
Let me think... how about basing everything on "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
Uh, actually, the partition of Palestine called for Jerusalem to be an international open city. The Arabs launched the 1948 war and seized Jerusalem, kicking the Jews out. So you've got cause and effect reversed again.
Except that as the summary says, Google used the argument that their results are unbiased to avoid anti-trust scrutiny.
If you substitute "Microsoft" for "Google" I think you'll can understand the problem...
it's been that way since war2 and before. I remember learning build orders from cases ladder players on war2+kali. Oh how fun that was, smashing face with bloodlusted ogres then dragons. Such a simple strategy, it normally lost to good micro of someone doing almost exactly the same thing (or worse, quick upgrade grunt rushing.)
Star Craft build order discussion became a bit of a national past time in South Korea before the release of SC2, now that's the primary focus.
I loved it in war2 when someone came at me with dragons. Dragons took forever to build. cost of a ton of gold, and were easy to kill. Took a little bit of micro but I was awful at micro and I managed to do it... a mage to slow them, a blizzard, and a couple of archers and they were dead.
"media reports of rape and molestation accusations against Assange at the end of August, two days after he had applied for a residence permit."
That one is from the fucking article, so you almost have an excuse not to understand the sequence of event. Almost.
Guy gets famous, women from his past come forward and accuse him of rape etc. Do YOU understand the sequence? Happens a lot, no secret black hat government conspiracy required.
A better analogy would be to say every citizen now has to have a personal overseer follow them 24/7 and observe all their movements and actions within public spaces
You might like to think that. I might think that a warrior, who has to learn or die, learns at a quicker pace than most people, and is more adept at problem solving.
By the way, I'm a geek, not a warrior. I'd love to think that geeks are smarter and maybe even sexier. I just haven't seen any evidence yet.
Great. I'll take your bank account access information and post it online. By hiding that information you're obviously creating scarcity where none needs to exist. After all, you'll still have a copy of the information, so making an exact duplicate can't be wrong.
Oh, you say you'll lose money that way? Well, that's the same argument copyright holders make.
I knew someone would come up with "the government" or "Uncle Sam". In other words, you support my position that rich people who break the law are prosecuted by the government and go to jail. As opposed to the post I originally replied to that said
"A rich, powerful man only goes to prison if a richer, more powerful man wants him there."
4. I'm also betting that NOBODY from the US film industry will spend a minute in jail over their blatantly illegal activities. In the US, if you have enough money you're above the law. A rich, powerful man only goes to prison if a richer, more powerful man wants him there.
So Leona Helmsley's only problem was that she was a woman?
Exactly. If Bing is using the project according to the license, they are operating correctly. If you want people to PAY for something, sell it. If you want people to use it freely, let them use it freely.
Actually seems way more likely to be the other way around. The retro rockets will be timed to fire at exactly the right time, the probe will download the latest update that includes a leap second, the clock will be adjusted, and the rockets will fire too early or too late.
So you are saying that having a secret government agency frame someone for a crime is "less complicated" than the alternatives? Really?? Only in spy thrillers, I'm thinking.
I love how, on zero information, the decision is made: it must be dirty tricks. You know, sometimes people who do interesting or important work are guilty of crimes. Remember Hans Reiser? How about waiting for, you know, facts, before deciding. It's possible that it's all a setup. It's possible that with him being in the news, a couple of women that he's harassed have decided to come forward. How about keeping an open mind?
Oh, yeah, sorry, I forgot, this is Slashdot... carry on.

You mean the people a few miles downwind of the Israeli cities? I have a feeling they aren't horribly disappointed.

This is exactly why I hate pair programming.
The same way sudo makes non-root accounts on Linux useless?
Windows has the same button, it's called a standard user account.
The US isn't interested in technical innovations. They're interested in just how close Iran is to building a nuclear weapon.

My post was so short, and yet you still managed to not read it. Well done.

I think you lost a digit, it's probably 2,000K salaries
Right... someone with a billion dollars goes to jail, so it must have been "someone richer" who wanted them there.
I think you're going to have to come up with something more convincing than "so & so isn't the richest person on the planet".

She was worth a billion dollars. Remind me just who the richer person was that she pissed off?

So, in other words, keep an open mind.
