Foolish. What was, is not what will be, just because it was, what was, otherwise we would still be doing it all manually and not using computers at all. I went through all the bullshit with the manual hold outs defending their space and speciality, paper work, tons and tons of paper work. The lost to computers.
Just for windows and office, it will inevitably lose, why, because at it's core M$ was an abusive supplier, they sucked. The routinely ripped off and abused the customer, blaming the customer for M$s bus and faults all too often. So end user has zero loyalty. The only thing keeping M$ going is majority typical end user, 'LAZINESS'. If the end user can't tell the difference M$ is dead, this is proven in their inability to effectively launch new products since blowing billions on getting acceptance with xbox.
M$ is dead but like a zombie the body keeps ticking on even if the Uncle Fester head is dead, drowned in whisky. They should have taken the opportunity to split the company when they had the chance, they didn't and it's too late now.
The UN vs World Wars, hmm, let's stick with the UN. As for the privacy issue, the rich and greedy have finally realised they can not steal our privacy without giving away theirs.
You can bet Foxcon will be exploring every possible avenue for a future beyond a declining iDevice. It would be supremely foolish of them to ride the iDevice to oblivion. So now compete with Android or jump in the highly competitive battlefield that is Android. Obviously Linux and Firefox are alternatives a way to differentiate yourself and a possible way to gain market share on things other than price. Foxcon want's to gain market share in notebooks, tablets and phones simultaneously, all with no real brand recognition, perhaps they can buy Nokia.
For the expectation of privacy to hold, your must talk softly enough that your voice does not carry beyond your local environs. Tricky one this, bugging is a very false description. Dependent upon signs at the door, trespass is very likely, recording of a private conversation is of limited criminal value but certainly open to civil prosecution. As for those that published the transcripts, they certainly crossed the line if they knew how the discussion was captured and should not have published it except as perhaps a reference to a blog. That they will be subject to civil prosecution a certainty should Mitch McConnell lose office, Mother Jones is in trouble and better be all lawyered up.
Draw wires for fibre optic service where the copper is in conduits and then recycled for power use, other than that ripped straight out of the ground and recycled.
At it's core democracy only functions when it is based upon truth, else it is an autocracy of lies, with those in power able to maintain power by enforcing public acceptance of those lies. Whether those lies are religious or propaganda as news paid for by the rich, makes no difference. Today the US's democracy is self destructing based upon lies having the same or greater value in mass media than the truth. US politicians routinely spread lies publicly with little or no challenge from corporate owned and controlled mass media.
Reality, self aware, marketing jargon for a way to differentiate an Android phone at the top of mobile phone price spectrum, as we have hit the wall in terms of size and resolution. Goals Waterproof to 3m. IR blaster Additional frequencies to control more things in your environment, roller doors, electric locks. Dock with everything, notebooks, PCs, big screen TVs. Secure docking, dock with bank terminals, phone to act as credit card, no more plastic card.
What ever other features people can come up with to differentiate phones at the top end of the mobile phone spectrum. I like the credit card one but that is up to the credit card companies and the chip they use to insert in the phone and replace the piece of plastic, better ID verification finally a picture and selected finger/thumb print, plus pin code.
So let's turn a problem into a solution. A lot of radiation, add a layered antennae tuned to the radiation to convert the energy into usable power. Nano structures can absorb and convert a lot of energy, it only remains to engineer the right one that can absorb and convert the most problematic frequencies. Often just attempting to block specific frequencies is less efficient than absorbing and converting to use full energy and then absorbing and converting to heat.
Not to upset your little apple cart but this is a European wide issue. So yes, Facebook should be prevented from initiated contracts with minors without parental consent, if that means Facebook closes it European doors, then Facebook closes it European doors, end of story, tough luck for Facebook. Oh my how the Italians and the rest of Europe will suffer, their society will collapse, gees get real, who gives a fuck if Facebook dies in Europe.
Sorry, but under law you are entitled to forget. Worried about any question, I can't remember is the best reply. I am registered with a bunch of web sites too which I have long forgotten the pass word. In point of fact a default standard feature of any web site to which a logon is required is a password reset. People forgetting the passwords is a normal everyday accepted fact.
The law is the law. Competitive trading laws require the Australian government to ensure it distributes its documents in a open document format free of fees and charges. When push comes to shove M$ will obey or face interesting charges from the ACCC.
'Erm', I would hope you understand the difference between a document and an application, if you worked in R&D for the Australian Government. Forcing the use of an accessible document format to ensure all commercial and free applications can access that document free of government enforced fees and charges to a private entity ensures adherence to the countries competitive trading laws. Prior to this, playing the, 'tee hee we're just a bunch of dumb fuck ups', might have sort of worked, but continuing to play that card just makes them look permanently like a bunch of 'dumb fuck ups'.
What the don't realise is exactly what is happening. A one time mistake when published is interpreted externally not as a one time mistake but as a pattern of behaviour that happened to be exposed one time. This is what causes the real long term harm. We all have made judgemental mistakes, made embarrassing decisions, what the internet does with those for today's youth and of course for foolish adults, is to turn one offs into who you are. The internet tends to define people by their published mistakes.
Privacy folks, fight for it, or every single mistake you make will define publicly who you are. Now is that fair or unfair, neither, from a distance it is the easiest, safest way to view it. Either you are foolish enough to continually repeat that behaviour or you are foolish enough to allow it to get published, either way, you are foolish and a risk.
Steam bundles for older games.Nickel and dimeing downloadable content. Screw the customer copy protection schemes. Games released in a beta state. Rehased titles as new games. Very small scope games designed for sale of additional versions. The sheer amount of bullshit in game advertising. All of these have added up to the unpopularity of buying new games. Plus added competition from free to play MMO's like LOTRO which can suck up a huge amount of available gaming time.
However it is pretty obvious, that big corporations not paying taxes is becoming a more a more powerful political meme. People are starting to demand those corporations pay taxes and politicians will win or lose based on their willingness to ensure large multi-national corporations pay taxes. So yes Amazon, Apple, Google will be paying taxes or their executives will start going to jail for tax fraud. This is a global issue and treaty to stick it to those tax cheats and the tax haven pirates is in the offing. A few extended prison terms for tax fraud would also be nice and politically demanded.
I really hope you don't think management should take credit for a price rise following a price drop and a failed buyout and no perceived future, no, surely you wouldn't do that. Neither would you take credit for any revenue increases that were simply inflationary or even worse bought in. That would be really really be blonde dumb. Better POE ratios and improvements in the value of assets but please not "I'VE GOT PUPPIES, LOTS AND LOTS OF PUPPIES". You might impress the non-investor but those with a bit more nous are going to look on you as the fool. That puppies thing, nobody said much at the time because it was just so, so, ???!!! seriously that was a business plan, puppies.
Gees talk about grow up. This is all about technology and how do you isolate data when a search warrant is issued. You have no idea what data is on those hard drives until you have forensic examined them ie pointless taking the word of the people involved as duh that is why a search warrant and data seizure was implemented in the first place. Obviously the medical firm is attempting a legal counter strike because they know they are guilty as hell and are attempting to taint the evidence guilt by a frivolous civil suite.
Now can you care to explain, how anybody, any agency, can decide what is or is not on any storage device prior to examining it as they can not legally take the word of the person holding the data.
Talk about attempting in the most amazingly stupid politically biased fashion to make a mountain out of a mole hill. What the fuck is passing as news in the rabid attempt to politicise anything and everything with one gross exaggeration after another.
This has always been the hassle with data seizures, what is legally allowed to be taken and what is not, without taking it and examining it, can you spend a month on site and basically shut it down while all the data stored is examined and only the legally warrantable information is copied.
Your just like all those engineers that point to a single big engine as better than many smaller ones. Why it always fails, single point of failure and you have nothing. Next up is the hassle of smoothing out power delivery. Wasting space on two power system? it's like have two and you throw one away, rather than combine the total or how efficiently the space is now used. Why are single super capacitors used now, hmm, because they don't bloody work in practice. Theory, theory, wonderful theory.
Libertarians are people who have never ceased being teenagers and seeing beyond their own personal needs and desires, they have no expectations at all about other people's behaviour as they do not think of it at all. They are permanently stuck in the 'me now generation' like a broken record and they quite simply cannot conceive of a society based upon that principle because it is beyond their understanding, hence their desire for it.
Of course never forget evolution does not stop, so human evolution, drives social evolution, drives human evolution, drives social evolution. So models of extended families can exist but as currently demonstrated they consistently fail as patriarchies however as demonstrated by Mosuo culture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosuo they can succeed as matriarchies.
So a healthier human society requires a shift away from psychopathic patriarchies to far more stable socially matriarchies (it's the whole extended families concept).
Even smarter, not one super capacitor but a whole series of them, which discharge into a low capacity rechargeable battery (that high output discharge will actually extend the life of the battery as it would prevent crystalline build up), in sequence to provide smooth delivery of power. The series of small super capacitors can still be charged at high speed and via a more regular rechargeable battery provide smooth delivery of current.
Nope worse every single time. Seriously in what universe other than Saturday morning cartons does a cadet get promoted to captain of the the fleet flagship after a lieutenant commander surrenders command to that cadet. That seriously does reflect the quality of these stories, Saturday morning cartoon palp produced by a nepotistic insider protected family and connections and massive amounts of bullshit advertising.
More specifically that new content requires endless boring suck saturation marketing which often means no one really gives a crap about it. Wasn't going to comment but the header 'unread' for being over the top with photo is nothing more than a blatant , 'OH NO' nobody gives a crap about star trek any more, we desperately need to generate interest.
I've already seen some Jerk Jerk A (this reflects my boredom with fabricated Hollywood hero worship, actors, directors, producers ) comments, where he is claiming greater interest in Star Wars and has less personal interest in Star Trek, which does not bode will for the current movie.
Never forget that a good story needs creative skilled writing, where as modern saturation advertising content only needs a cartoon story board that vaguely links together a string of action scenes. As for the movie itself, haven't bothered to watch a trailer through to the end let alone be likely to waste any time on the movie, Star Trek is dead, meh who cares, never was a trekkie.
Added to this technically speaking, when it comes to free speech rights they are unlimited under the constitution, as there is no law limiting the extent of those rights as such any perceived infringement of those rights can be publicly challenged in the Australian High Court. The same goes for all other citizens rights.
The only way to make it more democratic would be to increase the number of laws that require a public referendum prior to their being changed, as is required for any changes to the constitution eg no electoral laws should be able to be changed without a referendum. This likely should also extend to laws the govern harm to self rather than harm to others. For example it should have required a referendum to have made marijuana illegal or by extension under a referendum tobacco could be made illegal.
