All right, vista vs. its post-beta release called 7 has a so different API that porting a browser raises significant issues of backward compatibility... or maybe leaving customers of older version with older browsers makes a LOT of sense from a marketing point of view for MS and for hardware makers?
BBC is not RAI, Rai is controlled by the government, the government is controlled by Berlusconi, Berlusconi has interests in broadcast TV which are in conflict with the entertainment value offered by internet, therefore Rai can use silverlight.
You clearly don't value how booting a different system and find the familiar way of working mostly there saves in term of saving time and training.
Lots of desktops are still on xp and old office, migrating them to linux instead of win7/8 is a breeze, I see 3ghz single core machines from 6 years ago pretty speedy with debian (aptosid xfce)
Recipe for trolls: 1. Get the victim's 64bit account ID (there must be at least one way, playing the pirated mod on his acct.) 2. Post a fake help request for the bug that gives the guy away 3. Victim gets banned.
So google should have been more specific and the suddenly very precise MS could well start holding itself to the same standards of honesty that they are criticizing in google today.
In fact a nuclear facility near the sea in a seismic zone was not equipped to properly withstand a tsunami. It was a big quake but it was 200km away, so dispersion of energy occurred. You're right it's not much. Standard f*ckup. In other places, buildings that should withstand a quake fall down, killing students (Abruzzo quake).
I recall a video interview with a scientist made before Chernobyl. EVERYTHING that the scientist had said was still true and accurate after that disaster. But in practice somebody thought it was ok to run some test disabling the safeguards and Chernobyl happened. In practice somebody else forgot that in case of flooding the backup diesel generators would also fail and Fukushima happened.
Being against nuclear power is silly, as we depend on a nuclear reactor called the sun, but I have no faith that current government are so independent from interested parties (military, builders, and possibly others) that can do responsible and reasonably safe use of the best nuclear technology. Children playing with firearms.
The most important question by far is how independent will you average fool be if current trends continue. Everything else is just mental masturbation.
People used to be able to build their house, grow food and get to drink from rivers and their own well. They lived worse lifes overall but a fair comparison would be: current society with a different society where knowledge and tech is used to empower individuals and small communities.
If you deplete the earth, and fill the air and water with pollutant, and spread radiation, it won't be bad for everyone. It will be very good for the guys who can deploy advanced food tech and advanced cures. They will control the world and keep calling it democratic just to make fun of you.
Sure this could be paranoid dystopia. Are you willing to bet your own future that it is?
The usefulness of a specie is not the issue. The issue is why are they disappearing. If it's nature, fair game. If it's artificial, today we discuss the usefulness of animals, tomorrow will discuss the usefulness of people.
> Well, did you take the time to write a letter in a newspaper ?
Oh so people are supposed to write to newspapers proposing news items that ought to be covered? What is this, soviet russia? Journalists ought to be able to judge the impact of what the agencies report and find a place for significant items.
Since copyright infringement lands you in jail, altering the terms of what can be under copyright is important news.
an XO (which IIRC is open design down to the BIOS) with a normal keyboard? Pretty cool, I missed the news about it till now. This is worth more than all the iPad related announcements that flood the web, at least for me.
The church has a long history of trying to hide the truth.
Quid est veritas? The church historically seems more into fighting heretics than unbelievers (at least according to the current "zeitgeist"), sure. OTOH the best way for the enemies of a church (satan if you believe, people attracted to the church power if you don't) to fight it is to create similar movements with a message who leads people away from the original one. Note I make no assumption about which one could be considered the original one.
They dare to put offline servers owned by sony??? Don't they understand the concept of private property??? Would they like it if Sony did the same and one day decided to put a rootkit on its cds to make them difficult to copy, or issued a firmware upgrade that disables capabilities which were sold and advertised on its consoles? huh? HUH?
seriously, a boycott is safer and makes more sense. It would need to be extended to the banks that probably own sony, so it boils down to getting new hardware only when sorely needed.
wikipedia: Yet another similar epigram ("Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence") has been widely attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Italy is ruled by a guy who owns television stations, and internet is its competition. The famous French guy who said "never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity" is simply plain wrong again.

I don't think the decision to open up the plans is buzzword compliance, though. They probably have more practical reasons like getting feedback.
But defining font size using pixels in CSS, doesn't that work? That would be disappointing.

Ah, a troll. I take you didn't learn what happens when your data is under control of proprietary formats and plugins, yes?
BBC is not RAI, Rai is controlled by the government, the government is controlled by Berlusconi, Berlusconi has interests in broadcast TV which are in conflict with the entertainment value offered by internet, therefore Rai can use silverlight.
Try aptosid then, it supports lvm on luks (the debian way, see wiki) and the manual IIRC talks about installation of luks on lvm.

The idea is not new but the consequences are.

So, how retarded is the idea, now?
what about fallout toxicity?

Your brain works well. You only made the mistake of considering authors. These laws are made for the publishers, by the publishers possibly :)
is the "extend" part. Let's hope they don't get any temptation to become incompatible.
pan-FUDatio is what first come to mind on a MS thread.

> And how did it manage to play the end of an avi or mpeg file or whatever it was, without the header?
$ split -d -b 5M amovie.mpeg
$ mplayer-mt xNN # last part
with mpeg it works.
avi is a different container (whose advantages i never bumped into) so it won't work. Possibly, using mplayer -forceidx option.

You can also see a boycott like the ethic thing to do, consequences notwithstanding.
Sony can do what they want as long as it's legal (nevermind the influence on the application of law by corporations).
But not with my money.
