Don't expect me to port existing code to your new language. Either make it compatible - i.e. an old language with new features - or provide me with an automated conversion tool.
c++ would have died within months if it didn't accept existing c code.
If they severely throttle SSL, then anyone who works from home will be severely affected. Can't do corporate business unencrypted - SSL/VPN is requred by any company with half a brain - and can't work with a badly throttled connection.
The premise is right that computers killed the paper encyclopedia. But isn't google the real culprit, not Encarta?
Survey your local school - see how many kids use google to research a paper, versus how many use google. Sure, wikipedia may be one of the sources found in a google search - but that is the brilliance of google over any single source of knowledge like wikipedia, Encarta, or Brittanica - that it provides *multiple* sources.
T-Mobile has plans that have no subsidy, and require no contract. Typically $10 less per month than a regular plan - so if your phone costs less than $240 it's an instant win. If you buy a $400 smartphone every four years it's still a win.
Problem is, they don't advertise them, and they don't show up on their web site. (They *used* to advertise them as the "Even More Plus" plan a few years back).
But that's still high enough for the vast majority of people's snapshots. 1024x1024 yields a 5"x5" print at 200dpi, while most people seem to be satisfied with 4x6" prints.
With no ability to crop or zoom, though. Consumers don't frame their shots very well - so having tons of excess resolution helps pull a decent print out of a crap image. With the current Lytro it's hard to frame shots well.
The Lytro can't fix camera shake, either, and (a) the camera is an unusual, hard-to-hold shape with (b) a crappy LCD. If they took the lightfield guts, and packaged it inside a traditional SLR-style body, they could both make it easier to hold the camera steady, and add a large LCD and real viewfinder.
Actually the FCC already has the authority to shut down any radio communications anywhere in the USA. The only thing under discussion here is the speed at which they can do it - immediately, or after a FCC memorandum/order and several months of processing time.
There is no right to drive; driving is a privilege. To be able to drive, you need to accept certain preconditions (be of a certain age, be able to see, not be drunk). Not using a cell phone merely adds one more precondition to the list.
If you look at the actual curriculum, it is fine - it includes basic addition/subtraction/multiplication/division, which is all the normal person really needs.
Whether that curriculum is taught correctly, and whether the students absorb and retain the knowledge, is another thing. But the basics seem to be there.
You sound American. In England, "maths" is the term used in normal everyday speech for this. Can't say that I have ever heard the term "arithmetic" used.
No, it's not fine with you, even if you don't live in Kentucky. Once something like this passes in one state, it is much, much easier to get it passed in others.
The award is not for "contributions to the recording industry", it's for "significant contributions, other than performance, to the field of recording."
Steve Jobs and Apple were not in the field of recording, they were/are in the field of sales and marketing.
Did they give a grammy to the founder of Tower Records?
Say I have both cable TV and internet from Bell. A show I want to watch is available, in digitized compressed format via protocol A over cable TV, or via protocol B via the internet. All the bits travel down the same wire to my house. So the *only* difference is in the transmission protocol. Why should one method be taxed, and the other not? How does that make sense?
It would be interesting to know whether the insurance paid for a new truck, or not. They should not have, since he was violating several laws when hit.

If you were truly savvy, you'd wait a year, and pick it up used for $20.
The same thing happened in Canada.
At least in Canada you can pick up games in the US - drive down for the weekend, the savings can offset the cost of gas.
Just wait until your wife sees you taking a picture of your mother-in-law with one.
I think a replica rifle is liable to cause some consternation at your average sporting event.
Or your average airport - don't take one on holidays with you.

I like to blame the school curriculum

let's call it a Judas goat
If they gave every user a goat, then they'd certainly come up with some footage to resell.
The UN is, unfortunately, headquartered in the USA. We need to transfer control to somewhere in a neutral country, like Switzerland.

The headline of the article should really be "Safari's privacy controls are weak and ineffective".
If someone leaves your front door wide open, and a skunk wanders in, do you blame the skunk, or do you blame whoever left the door open?

If their infrastructure wasn't up to it, why didn't they throttle sales of smartphones?
Doesn't the app store have geographic-based restrictions, so you can offer a program for download only in the USA?
In this particular case that would be fine, since Southwest doesn't fly internationally.
So if I want to watch, it is tax free. If I don't want it, or don't watch at all, it is taxed. Huh?

Which is precisely my point. A parking ticket does not add points to your license.
The bus has a picture of a vehicle violating the law, not of the driver. To put points on a license you would need to prove who was driving.
It would be interesting to know whether the insurance paid for a new truck, or not. They should not have, since he was violating several laws when hit.
