But what kind of whistleblower would threaten to reveval information about the child of the target, whatever the information? The evil blackmailing kind, is my best guess.
Aha, but emulation != virtualization. Windows 7 can very likely be emulated on any machine, but it's unlikely to be all that fast. Virtualization, however, means it's running directly on the hardware, but whenever the virtualized OS tries to poke around the hardware, it gets interrupted by the processor and the VM software takes over. The virtualized OS then thinks it's e.g. writing into video memory when it's really just copying to another buffer in main memory. Or that's the gist of it at least, I haven't read up on the technical details.
In any case, that's why virtualization requires processor support.
Cloud computing as its being used in the tech rags, as in handing all of your data to an external provider who puts it on their "cloud", is basically the same as shared hosting
This sort of cloud seems like part of the cycle between PCs and mainframes, only this mainframe is outsourced.
The swastika is not actually outlawed in Germany, only symbols of unconstitutional organizations. So only a particular form of the swastika is thus outlawed. Now, I'm neither German nor American, but I'll take an outlawing of a 45-degree clockwise-pointing swastika rather than TV-nipples any day!
The Chernobyl disaster happened because of a test that was being run outside of safe parameters plus some other coincidences. The plant was not being shut down permanently, it was being taken down for maintenance, nor was it anywhere near its designed life time at 3 years of operation for reactor 4.
You do realise that the marketshare you linked to is for the US only? The situation looks different when considering the world smartphone market. Just sayin...
I understand the rationale behind finding trusted reviewers, but I've never really bothered to go that in-depth. In fact, I do precisely what TFA says people don't do: look at the Metacritic aggregate. But not just the combined score, it's also important to consider the spread of the scores, and what kind of sites give the scores in any particular band: low, average, high.
I find that when the spread is large, the extreme ends tend to point to piss-poor reviews that I can safely ignore. If there's a lot in either end, however, some of those are probably worth paying attention to. Most of the time, I look at a few "trusted" sites in the middle of the pack, such as IGN and GameSpot. GS invariably gives a lower score than IGN to any game, so I end up looking at that most of the time.
Finally, if a game gets mostly high scores, the low score reviews tend to be informative, and vice-versa.
So any time I buy a game or browse around a store, Metacritic is the first place I check, and then combine that information with the price of the game to arrive at a decision. So far the only times I've missed is when I didn't check Metacritic carefully.
Since all of scientology is pretty atrocious in my book, I call it a cult throughout. I call the catholic church a church mostly because it isn't very cult-like today. It's not marginal, and neither sinister nor strange. Its history doesn't really influence what I call it.
You think all this is very vague? Welcome to the club.
No surprise there. Raytracing a photorealistic scene takes far longer than just bouncing some photons around. Running Windows in a VM makes it really slow compared to running on hardware. This "brain" isn't all that different.
Opera Unite is really just a (semi)permanent link to your computer. Anyone going to computername.username.operaunite.com/whiteboard will get a DNS record pointing to your current IP. All the real happens on your computer.
Also, sharing with Opera Unite is way easier than any kind of uploading to some other server, only for someone else to download it from there, instead of just downloading it immediately from you. In other words, it's not a person-to-world tool, it's a person-to-a-few-people tool.
I sure hope that's most people. Crop failure due to climate change is one thing, but I wouldn't want Mr. Global Warming to actually go around torching the fields.
Are there automatically updating graphs in spreadsheets? A sparkline is ultimately a graph or other image with a small format. If an automatically updating image isn't obvious, whatever the image may be, I don't know what is.

I think you're stretching the word 'variation' way too far.

And if frequency sweeps are possible, then FM synthesis should be possible.
And if FM is possible then the DOOM soundtrack can be played. (!)
You forgot: In Soviet Union, Windows switch focus to you
Does that mean I can escape KGB surveillance by Alt-Tabbing?

I hardly think you could run a virtualized Windows 7 on a PPC machine.

Bingo! The distinction has always been rather meaningless.

Scientology has committed atrocities recently, and continues to do so.

That's Orange in Slovakia. It doesn't mean that roaming on Orange in the same country would work.

Just because isn't incorrect doesn't mean it isn't bad.

There are storm surges every now and then. See post above.
Opera Widgets are cross-platform and cross-device applications made with Web technologies;
Thus, no problem.

You say like its a bad thing.
