I see a difference between supporting something and accepting that realistically there's bugger all you can do about it.
One of us is clearly a retard. If you can make a convincing argument why preventing you from watching a DVD is exactly equivalent to enabling someone to monitor your every move I'll concede that it's me.
Is this the "they're running 95% idle 95% of the time so that the other 5% of the time they're able to run at all" principle or am I missing something more subtle?
the 50 million people came from about 127,000 people filling out a survey. So they not only got the friends of the people filling out the survey but their friends as well.
It's digital HIV. You're as risky as the riskiest person you've... interacted with.
To be fair, evaluating isn't really standard operating procedure. Normally they just decide to ban things - it goes down well with the sherry-sipping shirefolk.
Not too long after that, an IBM team (pinstriped suits, etc.) was on site to try to sell us a mainframe (along with their services, natch) and I talked to them about
what I thought was "THE" existential threat to their business model: the small independent "intelligent" workstation (ie what we now call a PC).
There are plants that have huge roots with lots of water in them, and they don't exactly advertise the fact on the surface.
Obviously, you don't go to that trouble if there's a convenient stream or spring handy. But in times of need or if you're off searching for Jenny Agutter's minge it could save your life.

Bullshit. Plenty of IRA members - murderers & actual terrorists when the word meant something - fled to the US and were never sent back.
That must be why Facebook only has three members then (Horseface & those two guys who actually created it).
How about systemDRM?
Only servile senile old servants run servers! Apps are where it's 'appening!
Hence the word "algorethms".
Apart from being about two different things they're almost identical.
I just thought it looked badly phrased.
Can we overwhelm mammal resistant fortifications with non-pig mammals? Rather depends which mammals they're resistant against, doesn't it?
You might be able to fight antibiotic resistant ones, though.
Rum? Not in the wardroom. That's for those in front of the mast.
It was just ... that one of his pauses ... got so long ... ... that they ... ... ... thought ... ... ... he'd stopped.
It may surprise any readers who are current or former members of the US Navy, but Royal Navy ships are not "dry".
So if nothing else, this would have prevented one's gin and tonic from getting warm. Because that just wouldn't do, old chap.
Baaaaaaaaaaa.
Anyone else detect a slight whiff of vodka?
It's digital HIV. You're as risky as the riskiest person you've ... interacted with.
Rather depends on the breakdown, i.e. how many were in "community operations", whatever the fuck that is.
It's called the network effect.
Sort of like when Leonardo DaVinci invented the telephone.

Ah, those were the days.
# Windows, Windows on my 386, all my applications are running at once!
They wave it around in a boastful manner?
Actually, it's true. Slight inflation encourages people to invest their money or spend it now rather than sitting on it while it accumulates value.
Both of these boost the economy.
The problem is that many people confuse inflation with hyperinflation.
1) Tech firm isn't being talked about enough.
2) CEO spouts shite
3) ????
4) Profit!
But who's going to make them stop?
The government? *froth* *froth* communism *froth* *froth* Venezuela *froth* *froth*.
There you go, cayenne8 & roman_mir. You can take the rest of the day off.

Maybe that's what he means.
