Moscow isn't part of the EU, so you probably need an extra visa for going there. Also, trains (even high-speed trains) are considerably slower than planes on long distances.
Ever heard of working from home? Basically it means you provide your own office, including your desk, of course. And of course, you're also using your own electricity. And pay the rent yourself.
OTOH, what if the company e.g. hired him as Java developer, but now need a.NET developer? They could just hire a new.NET developer and fire him since they don't need him as Java developer any more. Now if they offer him that he can get the.NET developer position provided he does the work needed to learn.NET on his own time, this is actually an advantage for him. Of course, it also tells a message: "Yes, you're not bad (we give you the chance to stay), but you're also not too valuable for us either (we don't invest into you staying)."
And that's because they don't want to keep things the way they are, they want to go back to how (they wish) things used to be. Which is pretty much a 50's sitcom from what I can tell.
It has? I was watching it, wondering where the "sexting" happens. I couldn't find out after I've read the description. And even then, I just rationally know which scene they meant, I cannot manage to see anything sexual there. But maybe that's because I'm not American. Probably Americans are trained from the early childhood to see something sexual in anything which involves skin, with the possible exception of face or hand skin.
Well, a cell phone is a phone for prisoners (the name comes from the fact that it's installed in their cell). "Video" is Latin for "I see", a video is therefore an enlightenment. About your typewriter, maybe it would help if you take it out of the vacuum.
I can eat, breath, type and read at the same time while listening to music.
No. Every time you swallow, you have to temporally stop breathing, so eating and breathing are not exactly same-time activities. Also, while you type and read, you may hear the music, but you're certainly not listening to it.
The problem is that Apple at the same time also controls the platform, and doesn't let another publisher on it.
If a book publisher doesn't publish your book, you can always try another publisher. Now if the publisher were also in control of all book printing equipment, and wouldn't let other publishers print books, things would be different.
I don't have an iPod, but from what I've read I think you can put arbitrary MP3s on it, not just stuff from the iTunes shop. Therefore the problem doesn't exist there.
Iphone has 18% of the smart phone market share.
That's not even nearly a monopoly. It's less than 1/5 of the market.
What about Apple demanding from Bild that they remove content from their (not part of their app, but accessible through their app) PDF edition? What's next? Apple demanding web site content to be edited to its liking? After all, you can browse the web with the iPhone.
Why would I run a malicious tool? Especially a malicious software removal tool? I'm sure it would remove exactly that software where I can't find the installation media any more!:-)
Given that only the first hex digit was in the range a-f, the number was very obviously not completely random, and therefore has less than 52 bits of information. 12 digits in the range 0-9 have 39.9 bits of information. Assuming it was not by chance that the first digit was in the range A-F, then this digit also has an entropy of 2.6 bits. The sum of both is 42.5 bits. However, the digit string doesn't seem to be completely random either, so it's not impossible that the extra reduced randomness just removes that half bit, so the total information is actually 42 bits.
However, the spread of rootkits, viruses and other malware is primarily caused by user stupidity, something that is not Microsoft's fault.
Of course it's Microsoft's fault. If they made the OS so that stupid people were unable to use it, stupid people wouldn't use it and therefore they wouldn't get rootkits on it.:-)
A sufficiently old car. It's a working machine (assuming it's not broken), it's immune to rootkits (because it has no processor which could run them) and it doesn't have an obsolete OS (it has no OS at all).
Slashdot Mirror
I'm not sure I want to book transoceanic passage through someone's Hotmail address. =)
Because you fear that the ship may also be run with Microsoft products? :-)

It was Microsoft! You didn't think MS wouldn't take revenge for the browser court order, did you?
They were powered by high-speed trains? :-)

they should have picked a good-looking model
You're right, the phone model they used isn't good-looking. They shouldn't have used a Kin for that. :-)
So they want that the world laughs at Americans?
Isn't it a criminal offence to lie on identification forms?
It's not lying if you don't give any information.
Doubly so if all you do is to prevent your browser to fill in that information automatically.

Market share by percentage has nothing to do with a monopoly
Market share may not be sufficient for a monopoly, but it's certainly necessary.
No. Every time you swallow, you have to temporally stop breathing, so eating and breathing are not exactly same-time activities.
Also, while you type and read, you may hear the music, but you're certainly not listening to it.
Wow, I didn't realize until now that the movie Gran Torino was a commentary on the software market.
So Apple ultimately will let Microsoft kill it?
The problem is that Apple at the same time also controls the platform, and doesn't let another publisher on it.
If a book publisher doesn't publish your book, you can always try another publisher. Now if the publisher were also in control of all book printing equipment, and wouldn't let other publishers print books, things would be different.
Amazon has prior art on that.

Admit it: That's the reason why you quoted it! :-)
What if it hides in the documents?

No, it starts with nuking it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
