Here we go again with "there's no one qualified!" sky-falling scenario. I know plenty of engineers here they can hire here. I'm frankly tired of hearing you assholes cry about this.
I'd buy an Xbox today if it could replace my office pc. I need word, excel, and support for network printers.
On my Linux ultrabook I have LibreOffice which opens anything produced on word, and I've been using a great HP printer server that gives me wireless and internet printer access for a long time. Seriously, whats the gain by using Microsoft?
It takes years becuase the system allows for appeals, and tortfeasors are allowed to continue cases for a variety of reasons, ostensibly to discover more facts related to their case (but really to try to wear down the plantiffs). But think if those rules were changed. People would sue people and win based soley on who went to court first. That's not going to work either.
But it does put us in the midst of a second cold war
Not even. China can get all butt-hurt if they want, but they'll NEVER put themselves in a position where they can't trade with the US, that would be suicide. China is acting all butt-hurt when we all know they have far more to gain by spying on us than we have to gain by spying on them, economically. We gain by spying on their military strategy, foriegn policy, and disposition of forces.
Yeah, you've thoughtfully provided links, that's great and all, and I will look at them; even so, I'm in the camp that's going "Wtf...?" Its a little like dropping an alien life form in the middle of your aunt & uncle's living room and you and your friends all nodding to each other going "Yeah, it all makes sense now..." and "I thought they'd look like that...", meanwhile your poor aunt and uncle are staring at the thing and going "What the hell are they talking about...?"
The wavelength for radio is kind of large, and while you standing right next to an antenna can have some near field effects, it would be quite difficult to resolve what someone is doing more than a couple wavelengths away.
Also- wouldn't the spook on the observing end need to know something about the placement of the antennas/rf-generating gizmos to make any sense of the spatial temperament of room he's spying on?
May I recommend a Farnsworth Fusor?...much safer than any DIY fission reactor is likely to be.
Are you talking about fusion, or fission? Two different things, and remember; a cheap way to fuse matter is the holy grail here, fission has been done to death.
Been in lots of shops who claim to do agile, AND... fail. Or this: "Hey kids, we're doing agile now..." two weeks later... "...agile...? What's that...?"
that UN can`t really do anything unless countries support it.
The UN WON'T do anything, and acting like the UN is some kind of savior is foolish, I'm really surprised at the number of supposedly intelligent people who always want to run to the UN to solve world problems. Shall I chant the number of wars and atrocities the UN has seen fit to turn its back on over the last 40 years yet again? Maybe I'm a fool but it seems like the UN's FIRST responsibility as I read their charter is to either prevent or interceed in such matters, and your running to them to write up some kind of rules on international censorship? ~cough~
Thats what happens when your a country who serves as the gateway between modern, progressive, secular and enlightened thought, and backward, conservative, theocratic, & medieval thought.
This may be a move to if not monitize, maintian some kind of ownership over the java brand? I mean, perhaps its a misguided attempt to exert ownership over the technology in the face of offerings like OpenJDK? I'm just trying to understand what Oracle's motivation is.
Does anyone know why schizophrenia svoices always seem to try and cause harm?
True, diagnosable occurances of schizophrenia are rare, but when they do occur and can truly be shown to be present are a symptom of a diseased mind. Diseases rarely exhibit useful or benign patterns. How many disorders, pathogenic, endemic, or internalized, are beneficial to the host or sufferer?
Sadly, they were still pushing COBOL as the pinnacle of software development...
OMG yes... I left uni with a bunch of cobol crap running through my head, this was when the first Mac had just been introduced and I wanted to write GUI apps for it; interestingly writing gui apps for the first Mac didn't require COBOL or Fortran jobs punched up on decks of cards... what a waste of time. Interestingly I had to try to recall it all back for the y2k nonsense in '99... what a crazy world.
...look startlingly similar to the stick diagrams in chemistry textbooks.
Yeah, well, applied physics has a history of looking very much as we imagined it would in almost every case where there have been questions. Begging the question; "Are we really looking at reality, or stuff we want to see?"
Dead wrong. Years ago, back in '06 I think, I had the unfortunate experience of working under a real penis who thought he knew better, until he accidentally deleted some system files and had to re-install. He poo-poo'd my notion of using su & sudo, but he didn't after his experience. I never log in as root, and I tell everyone I see doing it to knock it off.
Yeah, that Microsoft tax is a bitch. I beat it by buying demo units where possible. The Acer S3 ultra I'm typing this right now is a demo. Got it for $400 under msrp.

So consumers buy anyway.
Not me.
Only in so long as we don't need to provide a shopping anology for any of your questions.

I'm thinking of the plot point in The Dark Knight wherein Lucius Fox gives Wayne the ability to effectively become omnicient via cell phones and etc.

No, just most of them.

I carry my entire library on a form smaller than a postage stamp. There's just no replacement for that convenience.

Most non-civilian Linux users run as root.

If some one chimes in with "there is no such thing as doofii" I'm going postal.
I can still reproduce the bug in its entirety.

Yep. This is the way Ubuntu used to be.
Oh... "first"
...I'm going to try it out later today.
