It works the same as when Congress cuts the budget. The budget still goes up but instead of the planned 15 percent increase they only raised it 8 percent thus you have a 7 percent budget cut. If it's good for Congress then it's good enough for bloggers.
I've seen no Mac viruses but I know there are several trojans about. Most are distributed with pirated software so that the user installs them. Viruses are hard to spread on unix like machines but given enough carelessness it will happen.
Your objection makes no sense because the people you complain of aren't the creators anyway, they're consumers. There will always be a market for powerful workstations for people who desire to create. There are loads of people who only use a computer to update their facebook account, for them a Quadcore 16 Gig machine with Dual Video cards and 2 30" cinema displays make no sense. To me a device with a 3" screen is almost useless. Different strokes and all.
Honda civic drivers are the worst by far. They continually pull out in front of traffic and putt putt down the road at significantly below the speed limit. 9 times out of 10 when I see a car doing something stupid it's a civic. The car seems to attract idiots to buy it in droves. Not all of them. Occasionally I see one being driven by a driver that knows how to use a turn signal, how to change lanes without cutting off the driver in the next lane, how to pull into traffic and accelerate, but those are the rare ones.
Hell, most people can't even use all the functions of their TV's remote control. Funny thing the other day was when a friend of mine couldn't find his remote control to turn on the game. I went over and pushed the button on the TV and changed the channel and he kinda looked at me like I had just conjured up a demon or something. Most people think that when you flip the light switch and the light comes on it's magic.
and it's on the publishers. Tens of thousands of books are available on usenet alone. I regularly buy non drm'ed books, mostly from Baen. I'm not going to buy any DRM books. Not gonna do it. Especially not when they cost damn near what a paper book in a brick and mortar store costs. That's just wrong and I will not bend over and take it up the ass like that. Especially when so many pirated books are available free and easy.
One possible use is for security as you can burn a live CD and since it's read only it can't be hacked. It's paranoia at it's utmost but very effective.
It'll never happen. I'd love to see a law that no one can donate more than 100 dollars to a candidate and that companies can't donate at all. Never happen because the people who do campaign "reform" are the candidates. It's corrupt and it's not going to get better. It's only going to get worse and worse until the country collapses. After the ensuing chaos we'll get something different. I don't know if it'll be better but it'll be different.
I'll agree that the new 1.6 gallon toilets are much, much better today than when first mandated they are not superior to the older 3 gallon models. I concede the necessity for water conservation and I can live with the 1.6 model I have now but it's not a better toilet. Not by any means. I've never ever used a 1.6 that was quite as good as the 3 gallon except for the ones with the jet tank using pressure. Those work very well. I plan to buy one soon.
The feds are the ones who are making it a States rights issue. Too many states are allowing limited sales of marijuana and the Federals are getting perturbed and plan on stomping this out. It's none of their fucking business but that wont even slow them down and the Supreme Court will most likely let them get by with it since they think the Federal Government isn't limited by the 10th amendment.
Problem is that Americans didn't put an idiot in charge, they put lots and lots of idiots in charge. Both parties fell all over themselves to set up the collapse. The list of stupid things is long and amazing. Almost always when both parties agree on something you know it's going to suck so bad. I love gridlock. The less they do the better it is.
He's smarter than we unwashed masses and we're unable to comprehend the explanation. Just take the wise one's word for it and keep paying your taxes. Back to work!
The fact is that Microsoft is very profitable. They make money. Lots and lots of money. The problem is that they treat their investors and their customers like shit. It doesn't matter though, because they're microsoft. AT&T was just like this before they were broken up. They treated everyone like shit because they could and microsoft, the great monopoly of our day does the same. Monopolies don't have to act like other companies because.....they're monopolies.

There's a reason that a 30 year old caveman was considered an old-timer.

It's got a linux kernel but it's not a linux distro.

none of you ac's do.
67 camaro yes, 67 amc ambassador not so much.
I'd like to see it just run Debian or some other linux distro. Why have to be saddled with Android?

They read it. They just interpret it differently.
Gridlock is good. No action by congress is almost always better than action. They seldom if ever improve things, instead they simply make it worse.

With firewire you could connect it to a mac with the mac in "target disk mode." That would be neat.
I'm going for the $35 dollar one with twice the ram. The raspberry pi seems cooler to me. I don't really want android as a computer operating system.
Less is more.
