Instead of "gm has to consider it" shouldn't that read "The bankruptcy judge has to consider it"?
I don't believe the bankrupt entity gets to pick and choose unless the judge allows it.
A little tin foil, or conductive paint, would fix the problem. It would be cheap, effective, and not require regulatory issues. Hey, you southern geeks! What's up? Don't any of you actually know any engineering any more?
True. I do want bug fixes and patches to prevent vulnerabilities.
After I posted I thought about it in other terms as well. Does the benefit to authors, and the industry, larger than the benefit to all other industries. Authors won't have to pay for word processors. It helps the author but provides less work for the M$ employees.
On balance I think I'd prefer a horde of programmers writing new programs instead of reinventing old ones. I think society will progress faster.
Personally I don't see there being a lot of value in paying for new versions of spreadsheets and word processors over and over again. There's not much, to me anyway, that's been added in the past 10 years. It keeps M$'s revenue stream high but is there value to me?
If software became more about producing new product instead of reworking the same old stuff in the language of the month I would be happy and I think there would be just as many jobs.
That's all strictly opinion, with no facts to support it.
Is it really necessary to pay any attention to our universe being unlikely? Given an infinite amount of time every possible unlikely condition may eventually occur.
The reality of this argument is there are people who refuse to believe that things happen without a cause. If something unlikely happens then someone had to cause it to happen. It's just random chance. Move along, nothing to see here.
from other studies, can we change this so we can figure out who the idiots causing most of the traffic jams are? It can just automatically mail them a ticket for being stupid?
The overhead for this technology is during retrieving and storing data to the hard disk. Unless you're running a database server on your personal machine the overhead is negligible. Unfortunately it's not the security panacea they might think it is. The only thing it protects you from is public disclosure of data from lost or stolen machines. If the machines are in a protected access environment and aren't removed is probably a waste of time. It might make good "security theatre" though. (it will make some people feel better even if it's worthless)
They always knew how many previous versions were available, and previous versions weren't always named by versions numbers: win 95, win 98, xp, vista, windows 7... etc.
Ever sat at a stop light watching traffic? It's not the passengers making the calls. As long as you get what you want who cares what other people want.
You can obviously find people with similar interests more easily by searching a database. That of course assumes they put their interests in a database, and by searching you've leaked some info too. That said you can still attend events with people who have similar interests. Friends won't come to you dude!
This is just advertising spam taken to the next level. If you was bright you'd notice you don't control distributed backups. Not having control of your own data is double plus ungood. I.E. This is just someone shilling for a company.
"in the TDD world, tests are what make code easy to maintain. When good unit tests are in place, then code can be changed at will and the tests will tell automatically you if you broke anything."
Isn't this a rather ambitious claim? I've seen many systems with lots of tests with bugs not caught.

The management sometimes wants things tech decides are foolish so there's a source of friction. Same thing for users. It's present in every collective human endeavor. I call it 'politics'.

Get rid of your cell phone and put the $40-$80 per month toward whatever. If you pay $80/month that's $1000 per year. That's a new computer or a nice vacation every year.
Parts of the mother board run at very high frequencies (the cpu pins). The change in capacitance between the pins may play havoc with the functionality. The guys who oil cooled their pc ran into it.
We melted gold donated from my family with gold melted from her family to make our rings. I thought that was a nice touch. The blending of our two lives together.
I thought the electric power price was regulated because power companies are a state licensed monopoly. So I'm unsure why you think this will cause the price to wildly fluctuate.

please define why this is more moral...

I notice the decoder program exited by itself. How did it know when to exit?
I think it's a rigged demo to yank people's chains.
