According to TFA: The workers also sleep on site, in factory dormitories, with 14 workers to a room. They must buy their own mattresses and bedding, or else sleep on 28in-wide plywood boards. They 'shower' with a sponge and a bucket.
Wow, this sounds exactly like how I spent my younger years as a garbage man at an amusement park.
Amblyopia can have it's benefits. I have amblyopia, so when I saw [blue smurf cartoon], I saw it in 2D and as a result, the 2d viewing was empty opening night so I didn't have to put up with people, and I didn't vomit all over the theater exit like everybody else did.
Most of that code is probably autogenerated from some control scheme in a Simulink-type toolchain. There are other ways to audit than looking straight at the microcontroller code, to that regard.
Time to file frivolous, but lucrative lawsuits against Sony, ESPN, and the Discovery Channel under the guise of the American's with Disabilities Act. Hooray for money!
I do believe that the writers at engadget have shown gross negligence for overlooking the significance of this decade's most important gadget: The Fleshlight.
The company did, at one point, make some browser based off of NCSA mosaic, and they did bring their portfolio to Microsoft in the early 90's, who turned it down, so I can see how they got the ruling against Microsoft.
That said, I think there will be a difference, from the viewpoint of the court, between suing a company that made money distributing a web browser and a company that is simply implementing a web page. At this point, EOLAS is like a gambler who just won the jackpot at the slot machines and doesn't know when to quit.
Beyond that point, the effect of the "green revolution" has simply been new population growth until disease, environmental destruction, famine, and war limit population size again.
War, disease, and population growth happen regardless. If people are farming just to eat, they can't afford any sort of education, entertainment, or intellectual stimulation; but guess what form of recreation is free? Likewise, people who are well fed and don't have to spend their entire life just trying to grow some food to stay alive, have the time and resources for the above things; most importantly, education. You can say "well, they should have brought education/birth control before you brought food" all they want, but realistically, if people are starving, they aren't going to care about what you say in those regards because they're too busy trying find something to fill the void and hunger pang; in fact, they just might kill you for your sandwich if you had one. It's called desperation.
Worse yet, a lot of the techniques of the "green revolution" are unsustainable, have caused social upheaval, and have cause traditional, sustainable methods to disappear.
Overall, we're worse off with these methods than we would be otherwise.
Traditional methods disappear because they're terribly inefficient. Subsistence farming is a terrible way to live, and I'd rather have a soulless, mechanical, factory farm supplying food to a group than having the population uneducated because they don't have time for any other sort of education, entertainment, or intellectual stimulation.
Overall, we're worse off with these methods than we would be otherwise.
I fail to see hundreds of millions of people suffering from starvation to be "better off otherwise"
we are going to need to burn some oil and release more CO2 into the air as we transport workers and materials in the rebuilding effort. I'm glad the ELF thought this through.
>>Calling them out on it is now unAmerican.
>>We get town halls that first tell us everyone is entitled to their opinion followed
>>by statements that those who dare have a differing one need to get out of the way.
It's not so much that shouting the pledge of allegiance in an overly jingoistic way in a juvenile attempt to disrupt things is unAmerican; it's more a matter of being annoying and counter-productive. It wasn't entertaining when the Dems acted like babies for the last 8 years, and it isn't entertaining now to see Conservatives acting the exact same way. If you want to express a dissenting opinion, then do it in a civil manner, but please, take the dress off before you do.
If the hardware is worth something, and again, I don't know what the collectible value of the PC mentioned is, re-whitening it might decrease it's value. I know several instances of relatives rebluing old guns they had and destroying the trade value on them.
We shall go back to the fundamentals. Third grade fundamentals at that. I'd like to ask these school board members if they can name the fundamental steps to the scientific method. If they can't, they should be publicly ridiculed.
The idea isn't new. Hard drives already have the ability to lock users out if a code isn't entered correctly; the XBox used this. The paranoid seem to be coming at this from a "Oh no they're gonna lock me out of my own data" type of deal; but the benefits aren't intended to lock your upgrade hardware down to your brand, PC wise (Compaq tried that a long time ago, it didn't work.)
An encryption standard could be good. There are plenty of perverts out there, afraid that their friends will discover all of their nasty bestiality fetishes, who would love to be able to encrypt their hard drives. If the standard is open, then it would be a lot easier for them to swap their drives filled with illegal horse and furry porn into a new computer.
We've already tried it - ethyl, methane, sulfinate as an alkalating agent and potent script treatment; it created a plothole so lethal the script was dead before it even left the table.

Oh wait, that's right, they probably haven't.

Earth will have been destroyed 17 years before this happens when Planet Nibiru crosses our orbit in 2012.
According to wikipedia, Maemo is largely open source with some mandatory proprietary components. How is this different from Android?

That spells segmentation fault

Now Greenpeace is going to have to protest hydroelectric dams too...

that anti-globablist eco groups are trying to run a TLD on the internet?
I was all like, "The Project lead is just going to take the money and skip town" but my boss was all like "CentOS is too big to fail."

What I really need is a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.
For example, Madagascar has just closed its seaport. And here I was, so close, to winning :(

Maybe I can use this to convince the professors to let the curve slip a bit for me in Random Signals.
Cry me a river.

If it means that many of those "music videos" that the anime nerds make are silenced, I die happy.
