The Galaxy Nexus can't be updated, but wasn't a big seller.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 was a very popular phone when released and there's plenty still being used. Samsung released a 4.4. update for the Korean version, but not the international version.
AMD did not own the sever space. With the introduction of AMD64, they had superior CPUs. However, thanks to intel's illegal monopolistic deals with OEMs they didn't get the sales and profits to plough back into R&D and sustain their technical lead.
In parts of Australia, interlock devices are now mandatory for first offenders if they are over 0.07 or under 26 years of age (or if you are guilty of refusing a breath test).
The interlock devices record the number of failed attempts. These are reported to the magistrate when you apply to have the device removed and the magistrate can extend the period you have to use the interlock device.
Broadly speeking a VM is a virtual environment that runs a separate kernel. Containers are like a chroot jails in that they provide virtualization of the user environment for processes that execute under the parent kernel. Containers generally provide more sophisticated control over system resources (CPU, RAM, network i/o) than a simple chroot jail. This wikipedia article provides a comparison of different types of container: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O...
AWS uses Xen. They can afford to support it in house. Other cloud providers use Xen. At my work, we have nearly moved all our systems off Xen to VMware; thank god. I can't recommend it for enterprise usage. It might be better if there was a decent company supporting it, but SUSE and Citrix don't cut it. Performance-wise Xen is good. Lack of stability and features kill the deal.
p.s. as noted, the bug in question is not Xen related.
Google didn't steal. NASA didn't sell the fuel NASA is a government agency and doesn't have to pay taxes and levies that the private sector does. The fuel was supplied by DLA-Energy (Defense Logistics Agency), not NASA. The fuel was purchased by H211, a company owned by the top Google people. DLA-Energy can sell the fuel, but they should collect the tax when they do. There was confusion because H211 was flying some missions on behalf of NASA, for which they were entitled to tax free fuel. [The inspector general] 'Martin attributed the discount to a “misunderstanding” between personnel at the airfield and the fuel supplier “rather than intentional misconduct. DLA-Energy misunderstood that H211 was drawing fuel for both private and NASA-related missions.'
I didn't notice any difference when my medication changed to the new propellant (hydrofluoroalkane) . The clinical studies showed the new propellant was no less effective.
The faulty ignition switch, meant airbag would not function. It sounds like you never were in a accident that needed to trigger the airbag. Some people were and they died. How do you feel about driving around in a car where the airbags wouldn't work because the ignition switch was faulty?
Stross has an article on his blog called "Why I don't self-publish". He appreciates the role that publishers play and would rather they do the work that he personally finds boring which frees up time to get more writing done.
I have flash installed but disabled in Firefox on my work machine (because it made Firerox lock up). It's surprising how little I miss it. Embedded videos on most sites play just fine.
I often find an embedded Youtube video will play fine, but if I try to watch the same video on Youtube (because I want a higher resolution), it won't play without flash because Google wants to display advertising.
Most of us have home computers to format our job applications. I don't have a home printer, but I haven't printed a job application for nearly a decade; they have all been electronic submissions. Also, I use a personal email account and mobile phone rather than my current employer's when applying for a new job. It's easy and sensible to keep job applications separate from employer's equipment.
These days I'm getting contacted by via LinkedIn about job offers even though I'm not looking. The lack of privacy with LinkedIn is a concern.
He was not talking about morals in abstract, but "moral rights" - a term that refers to specific provisions of copyright law in some countries. The name exists to separate the concepts from from the "economic rights" of copyright which may be bought and sold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights
In this case the copyright ownership appears to be with the employer since it was a work for hire. If the author was in a jurisdiction with "moral rights" provisions in copyright law he would likely have the legal right to be known as the author despite the fact he had sold the economic rights to the software.
Things have changed since the 1980s
Ouya insist on the game having a free-to-play aspect which should offer consumers some protection against crap.
With digital distribution it's easy to offer a wide variety of price points. Steam seem to be doing well selling low cost indie games alongside the premium titles. There's also internet reviews, forums and rating systems that can help consumers find the nuggets they are looking for.
Passive cooling isn't the right terminology. CPU heat sinks in most severs these days don't have fans attached either. They rely on the much more powerful case fans in servers and the better optimised airflow. These GPU cards will work the same way. The servers will not be quiet.
I imagine she would sue Google Australia.
"Google Australia Pty Limited is a foreign owned proprietary company that provides advertising services relating to its web search engine in Australia. The company is wholly owned by Google Inc, a multinational corporation based in the United States. Google Australia employs approximately 430 staff and is headquartered in Pyrmont, New South Wales."

If the Australian courts did impose judgements against Google, it would be based on laws rather than moral standards.

It mentions they are trying to replace the lithium ion anode with "pure lithium" - i.e. lithium metal.

Have a look at m0n0wall. It's based on FreeBSD and is configured using a PHP web GUI to configure the NICs and firewall.

Sure. The Nokia Lumina 800 and 710 didn't exist prior to Q4, neither did the HTC Titan, Samsung Focus and many others.

If Google becomes successful with this, the real test will be whether they offer their competitors equal access to their network.
