You seem to be operating from a very narrow definition of "the cloud".
The cloud is not a central location, it is distributed.
Service Oriented Architectures allow an application developer to cherry pick services available from disparate distributed locations knowing that the interfaces for each will be well defined (using WSDL or the like) and the transport mechanism ( e.g. SOAP over HTTP) will play nicely and not require custom translation of inputs and outputs.
There are plenty of good examples of SOA or "the cloud" other than some naff web site which badly replicates something I can do locally. An example I recently coded is an enterprise wide token based authentication which allows field engineers access to our remote equipment via a web service. So
- engineer - contacts "cloud" (i.e an RBAC webserver), gets token, attempts handshake
- kiosk - sends token to cloud gets credentials, allows access.
"Mainframe" not necessary.
Technical marketing? What distro was that for?
If you know anything about using a laptop on the go then you will know that by far the greatest limiting factor is battery life and this laptop offers the ability to type and do email on a full size keyboard with "ten times the battery life".
There is no negative "implied marketing message" just because it is not full featured Linux.
I see nothing but positives in the extra features offered on this laptop and any travelling business exec used to making do with a Blackberry until he can find a socket to recharge will appreciate this.
Ex Soviet troops guarding stockpiles of nuclear arsenal when the Second Superpower collapsed chose to supplement their severance pay with government equipment. I was in China in November 2001 and reliably informed that I could go up to the Russian border and purchase plutoniom which was readily available on the black market. I visited the largest mosque in China during my time there and wondered what would happen if I put a small bomb together, blew up the mosque and claimed responsibility for the IRA in conjunction with ETA and Greenpeace. It just seems so easy for a single person or small group to alter the course of world history. Which is why personally I believe what's necessary when dealling with issues such as global terrorism like this is moral responsiblity and not shows of force.
Ever notice when a forum such as (but not limited to) Slashdot discusses intelligence, half the posts are of the form "...Yeah I've noticed that x is true because I'm really intelligent", the next half disagree, posting comments along the lines of "...I'm really intelligent and I disagree with x" and the last half don't make any claims at mental prowess despite their obvious mathematical fortitude!! It's not sexy folks and though you say you don't care you can't shut up about it !!
Black comedy perhaps
"We Americans claim to be a peace-loving people. We hate bloodshed; we are opposed to violence. Yet we go into spasms of joy over the possibility of projecting dynamite bombs from flying machines upon helpless citizens. We are ready to hang, electrocute, or lynch anyone, who, from economic necessity, will risk his own life in the attempt upon that of some industrial magnate. Yet our hearts swell with pride at the thought that America is becoming the most powerful nation on earth, and that she will eventually plant her iron foot on the necks of all other nations.
Such is the logic of patriotism." -Emma Goldman (1869 - 1940) writer
The same methodology would not but if you wanted to achieve top speeds on a formula one track it would. All tennis players serve overhand because it's the best way to play tennis but it's not the best way to serve in raquetball.
Yes but they certainly shouldn't be prevented from doing so. If there were no legislation in place to allow for media archival in this manner then it could be argued in court that they cannot do this at all and that the granting of a licence is beyond the powers of the government. In your analogy a roads authority needs to acquire a compulsory purchase order before removing someone from their land. This is not granted automatically but a process is set out in law for the provision of such.
So what do you do ?? Build more precise, more destructive, more user friendly and more expensive weapons or spend some of that money attempting to decipher why these people feel they have nothing to live for Perhaps destroying their homes and annexing their land has something to do do with that. !!
The doctors I know leave their phone on vibrate, sit at the back of the theatre, go out to answer a call
Where I come from and in most of Europe this point is moot. It's called etiquette. There is no rule book but people respect other peoples privacy. So you get people doing things like: speaking quietly on their phone when in company, ignoring calls and texts during a conversation and leaving the room or going somewhere private to answer the phone. Crazy eh!
Or an extrapolation of this I saw on MobileBurn where tilting the phone causes the phone to scroll as if you were looking at a mirror. The movements involved are slight and as intuitive as using a hand held mirror . Excellent for reading lengthy text messages.
WTF?!??!? Yeah I'd jump at the chance to go to space so I could stop drinking caffeinated drinks. The weightlessness, seeing earth's curvature, new frontier stuff would be interesting too. It's a pity one has to pass a physical to get that chance in the first place. Otherwise I'd be thin
Or would you feel better just sending human fodder into such situations? Oh you mean killing other people. These weapons... sorry robots have the potential to kill far more people than humans. But then the people they're killing aren't American so they don't count right..?
Patriotism is the mistaken belief that one country is superior to all others because you were born there. George Bernard Shaw
Yeah Right. All peer to peer has ceased at my company but people still have password protected network shares with all their music backed up. Barring a total 1984 style crackdown the music industry will never completely stamp out piracy.
I've read this argument a few times now and it 's moot. If you are dumb enough to not bother voting because you think your candidate already won then tough luck !

no flaming please, I hold a bachelors in social work
Cool. Can you score me some drugs please??
Econimics is really an analytical science which studies how goods and services are distributed
I thought that was Economics.

No they won't. They'll go "Oh! There's no signal in here if they notice and otherwise they'll just miss calls."
