And we all know how well that went. Just wait until there'll be another, more "friendly" commissioner or until they'll "persuade" the current one.

Ed Bott has been sucking the Microsoft tit for years and he loves it. But don't believe me, go check his articles up on ZDnet and see just how many of them cover all things Microsoft.
Soccer addiction, basketball addiction, golf addiction, any_sport addiction along with other addictions such as gardening, collecting stamps, book reading and whatever other activities can be considered as being fun, entertaining and thus "extremely" addictive.
This the good old panacea that people were selling in dark bottles in the old days. Here buddy drink this and you'll re-grow your hair and your dick will be hard as a rock! Honest!
So how do they plan to mitigate accidents caused by tired and overworked drivers? Do they also plan to install heart monitors in case people have heart-attacks? Those happen. What about drunk drivers? What about steering and breaking faults. How many people die because of those?
The thing is that these bastards can't provide roads that have enough capacity to support the current and future car traffic so they try to impose half-assed measures like these instead of figuring out how to make vehicle travel both faster and safer. I've got an idea. Ban all vehicles and go back to riding horses and horse pulled carriages. Those go nice and slow. Awesome!
Humans are simply not built for monotonous, repetitive activities. Driving is one of those. If you look at the main cause of accidents there is rarely faults in the machinery it's humans that are either sleepy, drunk or just plain dumb. I really do want to see smart roads and smart cars.
Ugh we really need to learn to let machines do the jobs that we simply can't do well in a consistent manner.
When you know you depend on silicon designed by others. Here's the thing.I bet Canonical would very much rather have everything on that thing be open-source because if something breaks it's way easier to debug than having to bang your head against the wall that a binary blob of anything represents.
No matter how much I'm trying to train my brain it still thinks that insects and their larval forms are absolutely repulsive. You can't defeat that unless you have grown up eating those things and then it's the norm. In a "survival" scenario we might be able to overcome the repulsion as the hunger sensation might override our other instincts. Anyway, I reckon that, for my remaining life span, pigs, cows, chicken, turkeys, rabbits... etc won't go extinct and neither will we suddenly lose the ability to grow them..
Ugh that risotto with grubs did not help either... yuuuuucckkkkk! Bleah! Ugh!
"It insists it does not provide encryption keys or access to Outlook's encryption mechanisms, and that the government must petition MS to provide information via the legal process."
What about when the govt. agencies get those "legal papers" that compel MS to provide access to data on Outlook, Skydrive, etc? Do they provide encryption keys then? What about SSL certs? Do they send them over to the NSA after they expire?
And this should not be only about MS. Any company should answer these questions. I really hope this shitstorm will kill stupid usage of "the cloud" but I doubt it. People are dumb, education budgets diminish every year so there is no changing that fact.
I guess my point is that if you need to have sensitive data in "the cloud" roll your own already. The software to do that is already available and free (gratis and libre).
The correct way to say the above is: AMD GPUs are better supported by AMD on Windows than on Linux. It's the manufacturer that usually provides the support and writes the drivers. If Intel integrated graphics were any good I would dump nvidia in a second.
The article is worded such that I don't yet understand whether the data was stocked for years (because the directive does impose time limits) or if the program has been going for years which is accurate since the directive was issued in 2006.
Go on add-on diet friend. I'm using just lastpass and status-r-evar (stupid name, yes) and I barely see it climb over 600MB. It usually sits around 500MB. Also, I have it set up so that plugins start on-demand.
It is stupid. However, what do you expect the troubled tech companies to do? Well, spread some FUD. Sure, they're giving away data and putting backdoors in their software but look open-source has the same issues we do. Honest!
Spread FUD, create noise and send the armies of shills to make sure that their message is the one that rises above the noise in hope to regain the trust of the customers/users/etc.
You don't get any kind of "assurance". Google what your country did to its citizens in 1942 just because they happened to be of the wrong race. If your rights can go away on whim then those are not rights. "Land of the free, home of the brave " my ass.
Linux does not have to be popular. It must have the software that enables people to 1) do their jobs 2) allow them to be entertained either through gaming or streaming content. Do you think the average Xbox user gives a shit about the OS that runs on the console? I do not. The only thing they care about is that it runs the games he/she likes and that streaming various content works. The same can potentially be done with Linux and users would not even be aware that it is in fact Linux on there.
They may have the King's share of gaming PCs now but they really want people using their consoles because they also get a cut of the (digital) sales also they would very much like for people to give up their PCs and use tablets and Office 365. Cloud! Cloud! Cloud! you can't have enough of it...

In one of his articles he tells us just how much he loves Outlook.com. Link provided for convenience:

Yes people still use it to make money. Like these guys: http://www.ritlabs.com/
Yeah. Sure it is. Got proof?

My position is that they address the problem in a completely wrong manner. It's in the part that you've completely left out when quoting me.
So how do they plan to mitigate accidents caused by tired and overworked drivers? Do they also plan to install heart monitors in case people have heart-attacks? Those happen. What about drunk drivers? What about steering and breaking faults. How many people die because of those?

Fucking bureaucrats.

Try to buy an SSL certificate with 1024 bit keys. I dare you. Double dare you. Yeah, you won't be able to.
What will be news is the myriad of devices that have crappy firmware which relies on the old keys for all the wrong reasons.

D3 aka Cholecalciferol is not actually a vitamin.

It is not working because they did not actually have democracy there, contrary to what the media (which likes to suck presidential wang) tells you.
Al EU nations have to abide by an EU directive that requires telecom companies and internet service providers to record and store the meta-data.
Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive
The article is worded such that I don't yet understand whether the data was stocked for years (because the directive does impose time limits) or if the program has been going for years which is accurate since the directive was issued in 2006.

People that know about the issues with AMD video cards on Linux and still want to buy them must enjoy being in pain all the time.
There are no 4000 series or 5000 series of nvidia cards. Those are ATI/AMD

You can always answer "I do not remember".

Well, the US gov. sure liked the Egyptian dictator too. At least they are consistent...
