... let me know at what point the Xbox becomes binary compatible with... well anything really. Xbox... nope. 360... nope, closest you get is 'managed code' which would be like calling Java native binaries. XBone... nope, managed code is still as close as you get...
Remember, managed code is just prepared source code for the most part. It is not native, nor is it stand alone. It requires an interpreter... which is ultimately written in actual native code, to get the job done.
Change is why the stock jumped, not because of the man involved.
Microsoft is declining, almost any change in management will spark a stock jump as people become hopeful that a new person my have insight to stop the decline and return to a growth period.
Blaming the price jump on Ballmer specifically just shows you have absolutely no understanding of people playing the stock market.
You really like coffee thats been shit out by another animal before you brew it? I utterly fail to understand why any person in the world would eat something else's excrement without being starving.
Not to mention space travel has the exact same pressure issue, but in the other direction, and not as large as deep under the ocean but none the less, spacecraft do have to cope with abnormal pressure differentials.
I'm on the 'watch list' at this point, been verified by my recent trips through airports and encounters with security... slashdot posts are the only reason for me to be there as I never really say shit or post anywhere else. Started immediately after I pointed out that I had been through many TSA checkpoints where the stupid fucks didn't even catch my pocket knife in pat downs, metal detectors both wand and full body, and of course body scanner bullshit. I never took my pocket knife on intentionally, its just that its been in my pocket for 35 years so I tend to not think about it until I'm already in the security line... at which point, no matter what I do, I look suspicious if I try to correct the problem. I learned instantly that the incompetent TSA won't find it, so why bother doing anything special. After my original slashdot post about this issue, I stopped carrying it, fortunately for me as thats when they started singling me out.
Keep that in mind.
No, I don't have proof, but I suddenly get extra verification on EVERY SINGLE FLIGHT I take, my drivers license is no longer an acceptable ID, I have to bring my passport. I get pulled aside and violated in various ways, consistently when going through airport security security, including going to that nice secret fucking room in the back where they ensure that you miss your flight even though you were hours earlier than you needed to be... and of course your missed flight is your problem, not theirs.
You joke... you shouldn't, it'll become obnoxious real quick if you're unlucky enough to get flagged. Don't think for an instant that your posts here won't bite you in the ass, my coincidence is too outstanding to ignore.
... Do you expect massive media organizations to be owned by some poverty line stricken schmuck in South Dakota living in the middle of the woods with no job?
Of course they are owned by big corps, or people with massive amounts of money. Its retarded to expect anything else. Owning them, by definition, makes you worth a lot of money and powerful.
Really, people care? Other than posting some shit on slashdot, what have you done?
You're going to be hard pressed to attack PRISM over court cases where its being used to prosecute someone who is clearly guilty. Doesn't matter if its right or wrong, the public would rather see guilty in jail than attack the way they got there.
Are you so stupid that you throw out 'good' uses of the system just because of the 'bad' ones? If thats the case, we need to release every prison in every jail or prison in the country.
You're just an over the top, unrealistic person who can't see the forest for the trees.
PRISM is bullshit.
You still won't find me arguing over it putting trash like dotcom in jail, regardless of what country they live in.
Geneva convention related bits don't apply to non uniformed, non flagged terrorist, never have, never will.
American due process has never applied to non-American in-flagged terrorists... However, there most certainly is a process at gitmo, even if you don't know or understand it. Not agreeing with it doesn't make it go away.
China has more prisoners by what an order of magnitude or 2.
To be fair, you guys generally vote yourselves lower taxes and more services on a daily basis. You kinda deserve what you've done to your state via stupidity in direct voting.
You sir, are an idiot, and your sig just re-enforces the fact.
The knowledge you get bumbling around the Internet, while useful and good to have, is in no way compares to a formal education.
Can you learn about things on the Internet? Sure. We'll you do as well as someone with a proper former education? No, because those people can ALSO use the Internet, and they actually know what they're looking for.
As someone whose parents both retired recently from teaching at four-year universities, I don't buy that explanation. At all. It's pure and utter bulls**t. The fact is, most universities are barely holding on financially, having to cut entire programs to keep from going under. Professors' salaries barely keep up with inflation most of the time, if that, and staff salaries don't fare much better. They rely more and more on adjunct instructors to cover classes because they can't afford to hire additional professors to cover the classes.
I live in Raleigh NC. Between Duke, UNC and NCSU, and the local community college there isn't a professor within a 100 miles that doesn't make well over 60k a year. We fired a few Chancellors over the last few years with 1.5 million dollar a year salaries.
Go fuck yourself if you think they deserve that for the 2 fucking days a week of teaching classes the do.
You don't realize it, but your joke about olive drab is exactly what he was referring to. You are suggesting putting form before function. That is exactly the opposite of what the military is.
Signing an online petition is practical a negative against what you're going for. They are a joke for lazy fucks who like to pretend your doing something when you are indeed only seeking attention.
No one that matters, anywhere, gives a flying fuck about your petition. It means nothing. Its a distraction to keep you busy while he does whatever he wants.
For fucks sake, do you not realizes how stupid petitions are after the damn Death Star petition?
Explain to me how Miranda's livelihood depends on a Guardian SD card... doesn't work for the Guardian. He's not a reporter, he was just playing mule for the reporter, which shows how much of an asshole the reporter is, makes his friend carry the goods, when his friend is afforded none of the legal protections for whistleblowing.
Slashdot Mirror
yes, it was ... they used credits instead ... mostly based around the energy required to do/make whatever it was they were bartering for.
It came up on various occasions, and is required because not everyone in the universe has the same mentality about it.
Teamwork. Uniforms are a mental exercise more than identification in battle. They provide a sense of team membership one would not get any other way.
Basic military tradition here, for a reason.
So basically ... you're ignoring the Maqui completely, even though this is set after Voyager ...
No, it doesn't, and hasn't for a few years now, and every day OSX takes more away from it.
... let me know at what point the Xbox becomes binary compatible with ... well anything really. Xbox ... nope. 360 ... nope, closest you get is 'managed code' which would be like calling Java native binaries. XBone ... nope, managed code is still as close as you get ...

Embarrassing to who? It made them millions of dollars. If you find that embarrassing, you're the one with the issue.
Businesses aren't in business to produce pretty code that you approve of, they are in business to sell a product people will buy and use, full stop.
Only if you're a moron.

Uhm, you're taking ONE snippet of a much longer diatribe and you're doing it out of context.
At no point has Linus believed that a kernel change can not break user applications. Its the TYPE of change that matters.
No, he is not OK with a API change for some stupid reason breaking shit ... unless the API was broken and that was the problem.
Your attitude shows that if you are capable of writing code, you're an amateur and don't really know anything about proper development practices.
but if the investigation is initiated through other means, what does that mean?
Assuming you can prove it, and aren't just talking out your ass, then it would be thrown out of court like many other cases around the nation.
Last I checked, no one had broken SMIME or PGP with proper key sizes.
Communicating securely is trivial. Your email client will most likely do it for you if you add a private key and certificate that you generate to it.
If the government got your communications, you were doing absolutely nothing to hide them.

You utterly fail to understand how the government works.
People like you are the problem with elections, you need to go retake high school civics.
The president DOES NOT RUN THE COUNTRY. HE IS THE LEADER OF THE MILITARY, FULL STOP.
Congress runs the country. Congress makes the law. Congress decides if the President has money to do anything. Congress can stop the president cold.
Your ignorance is why America is where its at, people like you go vote for the president and known nothing about your representatives and senators.

He's not a reporter, he was just playing mule for the reporter, which shows how much of an asshole the reporter is, makes his friend carry the goods, when his friend is afforded none of the legal protections for whistleblowing.
Considering the news paper and the reporter bragged about having it before making it public, they are ... to put it lightly ... fucking idiots.
If they weren't smart enough to not publize they had data the US wants back, they probably are too stupid to make an offsite backup.
