There are often trade offs in adaptations. Sickle cell animia isn't great, but having part of those genes wards off malaria. More vulnerable to disease, but having people who are like us around might lead to more social benefit. Like if a father dies, another man might take over if the children are similar to him.
Semantics. He pretty much blames the company for not having the guts to actually pursue new technology and remaining stagnant. That sounds like an elephant just stopped on train tracks to me. Was it really killed by the train, or was hanging out on the tracks a suicide attempt?
A politician isn't going to be savy enough to install the app, and have everyone he's communicating with install the app. interTubes are not their friends. It has to be secure by default.
Yahoo only has crazy dog lovers groups left. Check out the complaint.
"The home page is gone. People join my group to get photos of their dogs edited and honored by being posted on the group home page which is now GONE! Only ONE of the photos can be seen at ALL."
So these are the ones that complain...
While there are also other valid complaints, those are being fixed. I've used Yahoo groups and the past and it really kind of sucked. Glad to see they are working on it.
Even if the security is perfect, I have a hard time understanding why people would need it. If you were discussing something that were merely private that you didn't want anyone to ever know you'd have to convince the other person to install the app as well. Hey Dave, I have a secret I would like to share with you, but only if you install this app... You have to be really paranoid, or have a really valuable secret to divulge. I just don't see that many legitimate uses.
If you integrated it into android, where every text between two android users did the same thing, that would be valuable. So things would be secure and private by default.
Oh for the love of all that was good in British music, that is very sad if Electronic Dance Music is the most popular now. What happened to the country that gave us the Beatles, the Who, Led Zeppelin, and even Blur? Sad, sad, sad.
I think the comparison to other desktops is used as a preview as to Canonical's behavior in the phone industry. They were much worse than everyone else in the desktop market, so they might also be worse than everyone else in the phone market.
But, you are right that if they keep their model for desktops and use it in the phone, they'll only be slightly worse than the existing players (Amazon is not as usefulas a web search engine, so the edge loses points for that)
I guess I'm confused about the real one you haven't updated in years. It kind of sounded like you just created a second account with everything real, except your information, which doesn't make sense.
For me, my "real account" ( which also has lots of fake info about myself, but has my real friends connected) is accessed in some alternative browser, while the fake account with no friends/likes/groups/games is logged in on my primary browser. That way I don't have to worry about facebook's hidden cookie magic tracking me most of the time.
I understand that, but I might not want those hastily crafted ideas to show up under a search for my name from google. Many of my opinions are unpopular and unrelated to anything I do for work. But, I don't want future employers to disqualify me because of them.
What's the difference between the fake one and the real one and how does that matter? Is the fake one just used for stupid sites like huffinton post that are starting to require facebook?
You know, that's often the argument the government puts forward justifying these programs. They have to spy on everyone to catch the terrorists! Its only to do a greater good that they do bad things.
In all honesty, I don't understand all of your post. Maybe you are trying to make a larger argument about how Microsoft was successful in persuading everyone to write Microsoft specific aps by providing examples that don't really make sense in the domain of server software? Point kind of taken, I guess. But I don't really see how that applies here as they are moving in 2013 from Unix to Microsoft. I don't think Microsoft in 2013 is as compelling as it was in 2003. Without knowing their specific requirements its tough to really judge.
Because Unix is architecturally closer to Linux than Windows, would be the obvious answer. But seeing as there aren't many details given about the role of the servers*, it would be wise to reserve judgement in the particular case, even if it makes little sense as general advise.
*Often times under further questioning admins doing similar switches, the irrefutable answer becomes " exchange integration" or something of the like. Someone offering advise can't very well redesign the entire IT operations over coffee for a company he doesn't work for.
Its an abstract benefit that generated the debt, so its tough to see the benefit for many people. I mean you are talking about poor countries. Being a member of the UN arguably gives it some benefit in world affairs, but I doubt the average Nepalese citizen sees that on a daily basis. To many of them it would seem to be as useful as Alien abduction insurance.

I'm not confident that the NSA hasn't already solved the discrete logarithm problem at the heart of that method.

But its next to the Ministry of Silly Walks, right?

Do we get to take credit for Frozen Yogurt? That's pretty cool. I didn't know that was ours. Its by far the healthiest desert I know of.
Not that successful. More like a Apple III.
Do you have 7.5 Billion? Or is that a proposal for other people to risk their money on your idea?

No, that's the most evil one.
Oh, my. Did it put you young whippersnappers in your place?
I think it worked perfectly, we just need to make sure there is a slob like me around in a thousand years to teach people how to make trash again.
Exactly! Just like how not having access to my grade school records has slowed down your construction of a 1/5 scale model of the Millennium Falcon.
The answer is pretty obvious. Load up all the trash onto a rocket and launch it into space. Problems solved forever.
NBC. The stupidest of all three letter organizations.

So basically its a BS argument.

Trust the spell checker? I don't trust the idiot putting things into the spell checker. Remind me to fire the guy that types my posts.
