No state in the US grants adulthood to anyone under the age of 18. There are two territories in the US that do grant adulthood at lower ages. They are American Samoa (14) and Puerto Rico (14). Other states (such as Nebraska) have an age of Majority of 19.
The age of adulthood (or majority) under Federal law is 18 with respect to legal matters.
1. How exactly would they move customs inspection from an airport firmly inside the U.S. to a spot outside of the U.S. without moving the entire airport? Sure, fly in to Washington Dulles, but first we stop in Bermuda? Hardly.
2. The bill explicitly forbids that, so like, unless they have a reason to detain you other than, "I want to check your stuff", they wouldn't be able to do it.
Very good point. If/When this becomes more than a research project you'll probably see entire snippet databases, each with licensing requirements similar to graphics engines (free if less than X revenue, y% for every dollar over that number), flat fees, annual subscriptions on the database free to use whatever you make), etc.
It really won't. So instead of having to manually code it, you need the exact same type of person to specify requirements with as much precision and detail as possible. An act they were already doing while coding. They will have to do this repeatedly while working out the bugs in their requirements (aka, code), and probably still needing to manually fix things here and there.
So like, thanks for AI Snippets?
So he cites three scenarios: Nuclear war, global warming, and genetically-engineered viruses. Then says we should have more planets to ensure a single incident doesn't destroy us. Given how much he and others have been spewing "AI is our DOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!" I'm surprised that's not on his list too.
That aside his entire talk comes down to saying "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
Thanks man.
Get the folks behind the Delta Works in the Netherlands. Have them build a version that works for New York City.
That, or build a time machine, go back to when someone got the bright idea to build a big ass city that's surrounded by water on 3 sides at sea level and stab them repeatedly with a steak knife.
Documents created by Office on a Surface RT will work with all other versions of MS Office. Those documents will also work with the version of Office on the Surface RT.
As for other apps not working. It's a trivial matter to port an application to RT.
Yes, because we all know that the only company that ever has bugs in their products is Microsoft.
After all, Apple just released an amazingly functional maps replacement for Google maps, Apple has never had hardware bugs with their devices, Bethesda software never has bugs in any of their games released to market, all versions of Android based hardware ship bug free and never need updates./sarcasm off
Google has around 80% market share for internet searches in the EU. They are in the neighborhood of 66% in the US based on ComScore's assessment earlier this month. The same assessment lists Bing at 15.9, Yahoo at just under 12.8, and two remaining at less than 3% each.
Google is a clear leader, but their manipulation of search results allows them to maintain and extend their lead which is exactly where you start running into trouble with the FTC. Any time you have a clear lead, monopoly, borderline monopoly, whatever, and you leverage your service to misrepresent your competitors you are being anti-competitive. Dicking around with the page ranks of your competition is misrepresentation no matter how you slice it.
Even Eric Schmidt alluded to Google being a monopoly a year ago: http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-09-21/tech/30183638_1_monopoly-web-browser-market-microsoft
That isn't the point. Nobody forces you to use Google, but Google has a majority of the market share and as a consequence, they will be held to a different standard. If Google is altering search results to the benefit of their products and the detriment of their competitors products then there isn't much to discuss. It will simply be a matter of determining how much financial damage that has caused their competitors and how much Google has profited from that behavior. It isn't a question of, "Are they going to be found guilty?" It's one of, "How much will they be fined?"
If Google weren't the clear leader in the search market it may not be an issue, but they are, so it is.
Face it. Google is the same as every major corporation.
And I'm sure you're just as forgiving whenever Microsoft has a security bug that gets exploited via 3rd party software (e.g. quicktime, flash, acrobat reader, etc.). or when there is no bug and it's purely a 3rd party vuln that allows access.
An engineer buddy of mine was doing reverse-engineering work on the Skype protocol for a job he had a few years back, he would come to me with shock
and tell me about how dumb and insecure the Skype clients are and how trivially easy it is to get any Skype client to work as an invisible proxy for you without that person's knowledge by just using the skype protocol.
If they're making such a huge deal about it, you have to wonder why. They've got some problems and they'd rather have security through obscurity. *sigh*
Skype has always made a big deal about this. The difference is the Skype division now has a larger and more experienced pool of lawyers to call upon.
Do you even know what security through obscurity means? This has nothing to do with security. This is about protecting the brand by not letting people use the product in unsupported ways. Any app using this open source API to access Skype in an unsupported way can/may/will break whenever an update is released for Skype. That will cause those apps to break and reduce the perceived value of Skype in the long run. If they use the supported API that problem goes away.
This isn't a complicated issue and it isn't a gigantic Microsoft/Skype/Microsoft+Skype/Anti-OpenSource issue. It's about the integrity of the product.
I can top that. I worked at a place where I had to change my password every 30 days and I couldn't reuse a password for 2 *YEARS*. They also made it so you couldn't just increment a number in the password, it had to have several different characters.
I don't really see those as problems.
What "older hardware" are you referring to? I have Vista running without problem on a machine that is about 5 years old. For desktops, that's well beyond end-of-life.
UAC breaking badly written apps is a problem? Good. What app is it and why not go to one that isn't badly written?
How is being 64-bit a downside? You can get a 32-bit version if you aren't on a 64-bit architecture and 64-bit Vista runs very nicely.
No IE6... I can't say I go around trying to find legacy apps that need IE6, but you can still use ActiveX controls in IE7 and I haven't see a single page that doesn't work unless I'm using IE6. Are you referring to custom written software for a business/government customer?
I don't see Apple's inability to keep up with demand to be a problem. Few people even know that Google has a telephone. Google is one thing to 99% of the population. A search engine. Period.
With respect to telephones, Apple is Microsoft and Google is the sum total of all Linux distributions. Apple has a massive lead in cool factor, publicity, and market share. People will continue to develop for Apple simply because the odds of selling their apps are vastly superior considering the much larger iPhone market.
It is an interesting exercise, but completely impractical. The only place this would really be useful is at an opera or some other venue where they can track who purchased a specific ticket, and then only if you purchased with a credit card. If you paid cash at a box office, it wouldn't work.
For movie theaters, this is completely worthless except to possibly uncover a pattern of where movie pirates sit while using a hidden camera.
And even then, most movies these days are pirated from the production facility or off copies released to people for review.

The real story is that MySpace is still operational at all. I thought it shut down years ago.
One errant sensor can bring down a plane? Yeah. That makes sense....
The status? The only status they care about is if you plan to live there as a primary residence, or if you will be renting it.
They don't ask about your reasoning to purchase a home, and even if they did it wouldn't require a level of detail beyond, "because I want to"
That would be completely idiotic. Pick a city. Stop this nonsense. #FFS
And none of those are Texas where this crime allegedly took place. Texas sets the age at 18.
No state in the US grants adulthood to anyone under the age of 18. There are two territories in the US that do grant adulthood at lower ages. They are American Samoa (14) and Puerto Rico (14). Other states (such as Nebraska) have an age of Majority of 19.
The age of adulthood (or majority) under Federal law is 18 with respect to legal matters.
So... If you're 16, you are legally a child.
Correcting a mistake doesn't make something a contest. Facts do matter.

Just what the world needs. More paper-based junkmail. Google is starting to look like Obama
Really? Cite a source that confirms your claim that Microsoft stole i4i's code line for line. Go ahead.
