there is more than one motherboard manufacturer. Foxconn is more than welcome to take a FISS approach with regards to their customer base: the market will issue any required adjustments to their attitude.
the article was light on details. Who's the asshole in this case? I usually tend to take the little guy's side (assuming a valid patent) but on the other hand, little guys are often casting about for a deep pockets lawsuit. Hard to say who to root for, if anyone.
Ha... my old girlfriend was an English teacher, first year college students mostly.
At least forty percent of the incoming freshmen couldn't write in full sentences. I was astounded at the ignorant fucks that somehow graduated from high school. The system let them down, bigtime. Broken is far too kind a word... destructive is more apropos. These kids (and, by extension, our society) were severely damaged by their trip through the school system.
Most of my complaints about the current handling of global warming have less to do with science than with politics. Scientists and politicians don't really mix well at any level, yet it's our political leaders that control research funding, and who get to "interpret" results as they see fit.
More to the point, modern navigational and weather-monitoring technology applied to airships could alleviate a lot of concern. I mean, between GPS, inertial guidance, radar, weather and communications satellites... the things will be safer than they used to be for that reason alone.
My assertion really assumes that Linksys knows that it is marketing products to people that were perfectly happy rebooting Windows 98 every couple of hours. Seriously, it's not that inexpensive devices can't perform well, it's that the customer base doesn't know that it's being taken for a ride.
His theory is still perfectly valid. We learned from our mistakes. The BRIC nations (as well as many others, such as Mexico) have our example right in front of them. They can see both the bad and the good that came from it, but are steadfastly refusing to do anything about their own problems.
From a global perspective that may or may not be tolerable for much longer. For example, did you know that Russia doesn't bother to capture and store natural gas from its Siberian petroleum operations. They just flare it off... cubic miles of the stuff, and then have the gall to complain about our CO2 emissions.
Matter of fact, it's point-blank illegal for any U.S. oil company to do. They have to capture it. Now that's expensive, requires costly cryogenic equipment, but we do it.
My point was that Federal-level environmental regulations are not the only ones that big polluters have to deal with. If the EPA was disbanded tomorrow we wouldn't suddenly be without environmental controls, which some people seem to think would be the case.
Note that States (and even more local governments) can arbitrarily specify different gasoline formulations to be used within their jurisdictions. That has the effect of complicating pipeline operations and unnecessarily adding to the market price of fuel. Whether this has any particular benefit to the environment is another question.

During the court action, details briefly leaked on website Wikileaks.
Details don't just "briefly leak" on the Internet.
That's not the trigger, it's the battery.

"Ah, Yahoo, my old friend. Do you know, Yahoo, the Klingon proverb which tells us that revenge is a dish best served cold?"
Can you think of a single fanboy that doesn't defend his obsession to death?
No, that's the definition of fanatic: someone who sticks to his guns whether they're loaded or not.
Okay, I guess you're right. Pretty much the same thing after all.
You're off by a bit. It's 2.4 Ghz.
Or maybe Stabilant 22, although the stuff is kinda expensive to be used for immersing entire computers.

The public portion (Medicare, etc) works as advertised.
Are you serious?
+5 Funny I can see, but +5 Insightful?
No, just weapons-grade spent uranium.
That, my friend, is a perfect non-sequitur.
If this thread can even touch on how to encourage a young teen to do anything, I'll be impressed and grateful.
Decide what it is you want him to do, then put a gun to the little bastard's head and make him.
This royally sucks because e-gold was actually a very simple and easy way to purchase gold with very few and simple fees, and none of the tax burden.
Maybe that's another reason the Feds are going after them.

Actually, if you add Seawater to Lime you get ... slime!.

yet another three-letter government agency wanting to control my mind.
But intel makes processors for Macs now.
No kidding: for a typical Mac user that fact must be inducing some significant cognitive dissonance.
1. Mac is good.
2. But Mac use Intel.
3. Intel Evil.
4. Horror! Mac now Evil too!
5. Goto 1.
I've noticed a lot of Mac owners just sitting at their computers, not moving or speaking, but generating a lot of heat.
Hey, Mods ... the parent was making a joke.
Ben, is that you?
Good point. On the other hand, a vehicle as large as this proposed airship could easily accommodate more than one crew, who could work in shifts.
