"which is what the paid products are based on" - You're either asleep or stupid. Commerical software is based on sales (not "licenses" though they wish)... which includes hundred or thousand seat licenses... almost all commercial software comes with a 2-3 seat "licenses" and number of sales is calculated using those seat numbers often, though mostly they are interested in $ amounts since it costs them almost nothing to produce and ship physical media.
Opera I'm going to miss you! You used to be so small fast and configurable. Now you seem big and bloated rarely using less than 700MB for only 30 or 40 tabs.
You still save my sessions automatically while the others require plugins, you lead the way again and again making browsing better not just for your users but for everyone. Now you're throwing in the towel to Google, Microsoft and Firefox(which I don't hate I just don't like), leaving yourself open to patent trolls and big business shenanigans (IE:that's a proprietary standard or custom rendering that makes no sense and causes you months of work to duplicate because it was developed by throwing tonnes of lousy developers at it, ala pdf).
This is going to bite you in the butt, you know it I know it.
I'm sure you have your reasons and once you get on your feet again your brilliant contributions will make things better again... in the meantime I may watch from the sidelines trapped inside the chrome ecosystem, which doesn't have opera:config...
One positive thing to come from this is a government which acts with a moderate view of time dilation.
I love the idea of a government doing an experiment with a limited time frame. If more government bodies embraced this notion we could have access to wilder government experiments, which might put governments in line with the increasing pace of innovation.
Everything else about this is of course horrible and ridiculous.
Just guessing from experience with Koreans, but... chances are they followed Microsoft or Intel specifications properly. Other companies probably just copied a binary and use it as a black box.
There's nothing to be done, the medications emulate neuro transmitters/hormones. This can affect the production of transmitters/hormones in the body. One side effect of the drug is that your body slows those productions and when you aren't on the meds you have a more severe deficiency.
It's not as though they wanted to make psych medications that produce the opposite effect.
MJ is a mind flexer, it's possible to pull a mental muscle on it... I personally feel it is unlikely that it will produce a mental break in someone without a likely problem but it's a possible effect of imbibing MJ, so do it in social situations and in public as much as possible.
But this is an outrageous amount of fun and learning for the price. Plus it comes with a tiny solar panel you can include in your survival kit for camping!
Bitcoin is susceptible to having the block chain taken over by authorities, some of whom have built up significant processing power.
It's too bad about this whole thing since BTC is more stable the more people are doing the cryptography. It was however predictable with a deflationary (less being produced over time) and obviously dedicated hardware being developed.
Oh and for those who don't know on December 1st the amount of BTC entering the market was cut by 50%... so far price increase is about 20%
Steam DRM is prevalent but it is a simple vehicle to distribute 6 games. It would be nice if THQ disabled the DRM from at least a game or two.
Although! The excellent Humble Bundle made money off Indy Gaming, not somewhere people have an expectation of profit. To have a major studio taking a direct interest is good for; Jobs, for the developers, and more originality out of THQ.
Just as a general question. How open would U.S. citizens be to internationalizing Google and Microsoft.
Privacy concerns and hacking attacks mean that they're a key U.S. asset. The steps needed to protect data from these companies is such that it's easier to sell them to the U.N. and allow tax revenues to flow that way instead of into U.S. coffers and allow them to be audited by international organizations.
Teach him to type, for a bit. I had this game on one of my mom's old computers.
Then teach him he is in control of the machine.
Then show him Spreeder.com and give him/her good books, until, he/she complains:)
Then say "Slashdot is for big people." You will know if he/she has been reading it. And the resulting discussion should be interesting. (Maybe not true now post Taco).
Anyway voice non-parent. Really liked shooting down letters before they landed. Might have made me enjoy gaming too much.
"We rely on some misguided sense that these companies or our lawmakers are ethical or reasonable enough to provide safeguards and prevent abuse. That is our only defense, and I have little faith in the competence or ethical integrity of either."
Agreed, that notion is inherent in the idea of a constitution, and theoretically should be part of a company's incorporation.
It would certainly be nice to have an idea about the values of large companies and clandestine organizations like the FBI, Microsoft, or the CIA. There's few reasons for them not to provide their moral outlook but the public hasn't given them reason TO share it.
There should be a log of tasks non-admin users tried. That way an admin or in your case you visiting could enable them (your parents) by examining the machine.
I'm running a G1, the first Android phone. I love it. Looking at 2/3 year old phones (+1 month) for an upgrade.
It's not like Apple released a new filesystem. It's just a couple of Apps. Android makes me install new apps sometimes. Bloody pain since I have 92 Megs of space on the phone (Still think MicroSD is smart, removable storage is smart in a droppable device).
Yes it sucks Google is stuck behind the 8 ball on updates. Their OS is WAY better. But the kind of garbage they put in these updates is increasingly new apps and stores and ads and other garbage.
I love having a custom OS (running Ginger Yoshi, thinking of changing to BeatMod, really miss track change with volume button holding). If Google cared they'd test roms and let them be updated. Changing OS on an Android device is trivial.
Now if only changing Google users were as simple.
Anyway install Tethering, Wireless Tether, get Root. Then anything they "update" had better be bloody good or I can get it myself.
Anyone else noticed Android has crappy Blue Tooth file support?(None) Only tried it to Linux but that should work better anyway.
He was estimating how much energy would be needed to turn it into a gas. Not a liquid. I think you can agree it takes A LOT of energy to evaporate aluminum

The rest of the world looks at the current state of the U.S. state and thinks you guys need more guns.
But since you can't have arms which might actually be useful in revolution against a modern military you mostly just shoot each other... a lot.
And yes, there's lots of guns in other countries. Guns don't kill people, social inequality and lack of opportunity do.

Remember to ask for the judge's dismissal! Based on age, stupidity, wreckless endangerment of humanity.
Only way the legal system will learn.

They are writing an OS to a certain extent. Their code needs to be extensible for the "apps" and so forth that run through the web interface.
Yes they're not interfacing with hardware but supporting the wide variety of Internet standards and browsers could be seen as analogous.
An open source social networking tool that offers privacy is something there is a definite market for and I wish them the best.
How about the information you "give" to outlook, Microsoft word or Windows/Ubuntu?
"intertwined"
Just a heads up, communisms are more flexible, they can certainly restructure to not deal with the U.S. they don't "need" money.
There should be a log of tasks non-admin users tried. That way an admin or in your case you visiting could enable them (your parents) by examining the machine.
The app you're looking for is navigation. Local navigation in Toronto is a bit spotty, it keeps trying to take me to Buffalo :P
Android Diehard here.

Maybe they were arguing for their position, their arguments were just so bad they appeared as the opposite?
"Who cares if the printer is patented?"
If it's patented it might change a country, people who can pay approximately what the seller charges.
If it's NOT PATENTED, it can change the world as people anywhere can afford it and exchange it.
Shill FUD!
Maybe his third party app sucks that bad but Android ones work fine.
