Yes, I do, because until I see evidence to the contrary they (Google) has never outright lied about what they are doing.
They've had some mistakes and accidents.
They've done some stuff that was PERFECTLY reasonable, then felt others might see it that way, told everyone in the world what they did, how they fixed it...
Google never really lies about their intentions so I really have no reason to not trust their actions.
I may not always agree with them, but they aren't liars. Its not Microsoft.
Probably never will be either. Its usefulness was always questionable at best anyway, it is a GREAT academic exercise that I'm interested in just cause I've been developing my own 'x64 os' as a learning experience so the tactics they use I like to learn about, from a practical perspective as a system admin, its silly.
Mission critical infrastructure where you would want continuous availability is running on a cluster which can stand to have a host rebooted for upgrades so live splicing kernels is pointless in those situations.
ksplice is for people in moms basement who want an uptime long penis, not for anyone who actually needs service availability.
ksplice is a treatment for a symptom, which has a long list of side effects that are non-obvious to your non-developer sysadmins, which means most.
Clusters are the vaccination/condom that prevents you from developing the problem in the first place
Attention whore seeks further attention by running for a political office he has no chance of winning... while being detained... in another country... with warrents out from yet another...
How many times does he have to do shit like this before you guys realize he has no interest in transparency and only is concerned with his fame.
The only difference between Assange and the guy I voted for is Assange is promising transparency and the guy I voted for promised more jobs... and both of them have no intention of doing any more work on their campaign promises than required to get them re-elected.
They gave me contract terms that stated very clearly 'unlimited data' and we both agreed to that control.
There is no issue in whats clear other than AT&T doesn't want to provide what they agreed to. I didn't agree to silly terms I didn't want to deliver, they did. Its not that they can't make good on the terms of the agreement, its that they don't want to because its not AS profitable for them.
Simply contract law, they are breaching it.
(As far as TFA is concerned, so is the douche bag who was tethering with his phone, which is a valid reason fot AT&T to tell him to go fuck himself)
They can say anything they want in the contract, that doesn't mean it overrides the law even if you signed the contract. If the law (a judge ruling for instance) says they can't drop him, then they can't regardless of the paper they signed says.
Its important to note though, that no one said AT&T can't drop him. It seems they can so far until someone actually shows otherwise.
I think the point here however is that if everyone does this and AT&T 'drops them' thats a half a billion dollars or so in lost revenue per month from lost unlimited plans. They'd probably think twice.
The easiest way to see the true quality of a game according to the general public average is to just wait and see how long it takes for the first price drop to happen.
The price will drop fairly quickly for shitty games, great ones stay high a long time. After a little while you can pretty well figure out that a game that stayed full price for say 3 months is one that you'll not think sucks ass most of the time. Or maybe its 6 months for you, but whatever it is

Can $60 Games Survive?
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Well, it kind of makes you look silly if you ever took anyone predicts the end of any of these major companies happening over night. Everyone knows its just grandstanding and the more incorrect statement you can make up and the backup with 'facts' the more attention you get.
Nothing has changed that would make the price of games go down, the author just discovered a new type of game that was already there.
Tetris came before Angry Birds and in another 20 years, they'll be some other tiny, cheap game that will be a fad for a year or two, nothing changes, you're just becoming more aware of the way the world around you works. Dvorak will then be predicting the end of the $240 game and I'll still be having conversations with my wife about how that $240 game is actually cost effective if you consider that I'll literally end up paying less than $1 an hour of play that I'll get out of the game.
Mass Effect 3 for instance is $60 now. Thats 7 or 8 times the cost of a movie ticket on average. To make things easy, lets say that movies cost $4/hour. My latest Mass Effect 2 play through has roughly 60 hours on it of me screwing around. This is at least my 3rd time I've completed it, first on easy, then a couple play throughs on hard.
Thats roughly $0.33 cents an hour.
In 1970, 33 cents an hour for entertainment would have been GOOD. The price won't drop when there is that much value in the content compared to other forms of entertainment. Cheap fads come and go in every industry/sport/entertainment option and theres always someone shouting about the demise of something else, even though pretty much the same thing has happened before.
Yea, now add another $400 for an OS that doesn't suck.
Then start adding in all the other various ways that Apple hardware and support are better, like the fact that you know, support exists for Apple stuff. Good luck with that custom built PC.
You're building a PC and ignoring the time and effort you have to put into that, comparing a complete system to a collection of components, no OS, not even a case. And you're surprised the numbers are different?
Windows explorer 'Security' property pages are ACL editors for windows, most of those ACLs can be mapped directly to POSIX ACLs and Samba will actually be happy to do this for you so that the permissions editor is fully functional from a user perspective as long as your FS supports it.
I guess you're just not really aware of how the security works under the hood in NT and NTFS, but its ALL ACL based, and while they aren't technically 'POSIX ACL's, they are functionally pretty close to identical.
I'm not real sure why a property page for the file wouldn't work just the same as well. TortioseSVN for instance adds a property page that lets you edit the subversion properties in an explorer properties page for the file, not sure why a more generic version couldn't be designed for basic metadata types, of course you'd have support for 'text', 'int', 'float' types of input, but also special things like 'icon' or 'digital signature' that may have binary formats, but known binary formats so if you edit the 'icon' metadata, you know its going to be a 'icon file compatible with windows' and so on. BeOS did it, its not hard.
The only reason it doesn't happen in the Linux world is that the people who care about the ACL code and are knowledgable enough to be able to edit it and not make it insanely insecure, don't really care about having a GUI for it, and kind of have this opinion that you should man up and learn how to do it properly rather than use a GUI. I can't say I agree with that statement, but it is what it is. You could put a bounty on it on the various coding sites if it really matters to you, maybe enough people will contribute and get some random guy to update the gnome utilities with better support or whatever:)
What? Fizzled out? I've ran NT on alpha hardware with the soft emulator that would do on the fly translation of of x86 code to alpha so it could run more apps.
I also have copies of Windows Server for itanium sitting in my software directory from MSDN, I'm fairly certain the machines I've seen it running on did exist, I admit, it could have been a big staged hoax though.
I won't really address the 32 bit issue with NT4 on itanium, I'd like to know where you'd get a copy of NT4 for itanium since the OS was out of production before that chip ever hit the market. Windows 2000 however supported IA-64 and up to 64 gigs of memory accessible via PAE. Technically not 64 bit, but for the time, it was certainly sufficiently advanced for working with any IA-64 or x86 machines actually being sold at the time. You didn't have to run the chip in x86 mode, if you were its because you weren't using ia-64 version of win2k and the fact that it was running was just the chip making up for your stupidity. I'm impressed you managed to pull it off though since I don't think there were any x86 versions of Win2k that booted on EFI based machines instead of BIOS, which is what all IA-64 machines use.
As far as reality being the same, I think you live in some other reality than mine cause you're entire post seems to be so incredibly inaccurate that I can only assume you're just a really really dumb person trying to be a troll and utterly failing. Are you sure you're on the right website and not confusing this discussion with something about cars or something?
How do you figure that? About half the music on my devices isn't from iTunes. That ratio is going down however as iTunes is just convenient for me so its leaning towards that. The other half are mp3s and such I ripped from CDs or bought elsewhere before iTunes went to no-DRM on music, at which point I switched to iTunes since it has the largest catalog I'm aware of.
There is nothing that prevents me from distributing content to iOS users and nothing that stops me from viewing the content others send me, assuming its in any one of a number of open (I didn't say free) standard formats.
Hell, I don't even have to use the iTunes software to get the content on the phone, the web is a beautiful thing.
I guess they did find a way to monopolize distribution as everyone just uses them, but its not like they really cheated to get there. Its not illegal to monopolize by building a better mouse trap. Hell, its not even illegal to be a monopoly in general if you got there and behave within the rules of the system.
You fail to understand one basic problem with users. It isn't unique to computing, all engineers of any quality know it.
EVERYONE THINKS THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, regardless of what it is.
Linux, due to is relative obscurity to the public and its historically difficult for a cluebie to use interface for installations and such (yes, I know different distros do different things and many of them are easy peasy... NOW, they weren't for the majority of Linux's life time.) coupled with a few other stupid Linux zealot quirks have made it so that the only people who run Linux are people who know mostly not to download stupid shit and people who know someone who installed and locked down their Linux box to a safe mode for dumb users, but where they more or less get a less easy to use AppStore and its difficult for them to figure out how to change that, especially if you don't give them root.
On the other hand, Apple sells to the main stream and their goal is to get everyone using their devices, regardless of the their existing certifications for being a super duper admin and knowing all there is to know about computing and safety on the Internet. If you want to be effective, you really can't give the general public the option to hang themselves as they'll do it and then blame you, regardless of how many warnings you give them and tell them not to.
You make it easy for people to break out of that area, like say... jailbreaking apps do... and you end up with a bunch of morons who installed sshd and didn't change the generic default password. None of what I'm saying is theory, you can take a look at jailbreaking alone to see what happens when you give the general public the ability to make that choice for themselves. They are not qualified to make that decision and its unethical in my opinion to ignore that fact as a developer.
Once a company is _public_ then the shareholders can demand profits which can only be returned though unethical or evil actions.
Actually, in America corps are legally obligated to follow their charter, share holders be damned. Most charters effectively say make money at all costs, but they do not have to.
And someone else pointed out that it hasn't been legal to do that in sweden at any point in history so they were trying to take advantage of a loophole that never actually existed for them. (Others, yes, but not them for obvious reasons)
McDonalds is hiring. I see plenty of people from McDonalds with iPhones buying shit all the time.
I suspect your problem is something more along the lines of being 'too good' to work where you can, and spending well beyond your means, then blaming it on the job market.
The fact that you make such a retarded ignorant statement just makes it incredibly clear that you are completely out of touch with reality. Even the Mexican day laborers at home depot can afford to pay for their content, why is it they can survive and prosper with out any real skills yet someone like you apparently can't afford to pay $20 for a DVD?
Stop your whining, get off your lazy ass and man up. No one is going to help you or make it any easier on you, its already practically handed to you on a silver platter.
Right, because magnet links really change anything.
You realize that instead of storing the data in the form of a normal file, all you're doing is storing the same data in the form of a URL... right?
The pirate bay still stores the EXACT SAME DATA on the servers, its just presented to you with a new non-standard format.
Magnet links could be accomplished without any new code using data URLs already before anyone thought of adding them to a bittorrent client like they were something new and different.
Magnet links are just an ignorant attempt to skirt around the law by people who don't actually understand the law or what they are doing with the data.
True, but it still has to be capable of carrying the weight AT that distance, that just means that while it has the power to carry 4 tons... from a distance of 20km... Regardless of how far away the train is, you still have to provide at least 4 tons of force at that point... that means the further away it is, the ground station has to provide more energy at its location, squared by distance to the train in order for the train to get the required 4 tons of support.
The magnetic field that envelops the train will only get lower because the train is further away from the mass of the Earth, which will reduce the effect of gravity on it making it require less than 4tons of energy to support it, but FAR more energy at the base station to get that energy to the train at the distance it will be at.
So the field will be detectable at at least the distance from the base stations to 'orbit' or whereever you're going to be released from the maglev on your own if its got another form of propulsion.
Regardless of the distance, the magnetic field will still have to be significant enough to effect the amount of mass contained in the train at the trains location, including passengers, and no matter how you look at it, thats still one hell of a massively powerful magnetic field.
You are more or less ALWAYS required to report crime you see, and almost ALWAYS required to assist those who are having crimes committed against them, by law.
How the courts and police determine to enforce that is up in the air. They tend to be less punitive on people who are unarmed not helping in a gun fight and far more critical of people who allow other people to take advantage and exploit children.
I'd also like to point out, this case has absolutely nothing to do with 'child porn'. JUST PORN. They took his kid away because HE FOUND NORMAL PORN ON HIS COMPUTER AND REPORTED IT TO THE COPS BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Not that you didn't say that specifically, but it seems to be a common mistake in the rest of the thread and I'm tired of posting:)
I would love to watch what happens when you actually try this shit in the real world.
You can request a speedy trial and you'll get one, and the judge will continue it until the prosecutor is ready.
If you want to pull some stupid 'this lawyer isn't serving me bullshit' then they just add a contempt of court charge to you and hold you until you stop being a complete douche.
Its cute that you've heard some bullshit about a loophole in the system but those you describe don't actually exist. The judge will simply tell you no and be done with it, and no one will give a shit or help you because it'll be perfectly clear that you're trying to abuse the system.
I assure you, far more intelligent people than your silly ass have tried and failed.
In reality, you, just like us, can do ANYTHING YOU WANT with YOUR network, just like we can do anything we want to our network. You are after all, using our servers when you say.com.
If you want to make your own.com and run it on your own little island, go right ahead, and others are free to join you.
You won't last long and you'll not find many followers, and just like everything else, it won't be long at all until you run into the exact same sort of disputes, but hey, you go right ahead and pretend this is unique to the US and that you guys (wherever you happen to be) would be different.
The only thing I ask is that you stop trying to bullshit people into thinking the US is taking something away from you. You are agreeing to listen to our DNS information, no one anywhere is forcing you, and with out even making a freaking change to your PC you could just use domains from your country and then you would only be dealing with your own laws.
Instead, you want to bitch that someone else isn't doing it the way you want it done like this is a unique situation that wouldn't possibly happen to you.
Yea, you'd say they've been more damaging than congress or our own internal companies and people?
Get a grip, one fucking guy on Wallstreet can do more damage in an instant than the Catholic church ever has.
If they were seriously trying to 'undermine' anything, we'd be a lot worse off than we are.
Also, I'm going to call you a liar. You do make religious comments in your posts, maybe not catholic church specific, but you certainly blame religion for problems. You also blame pretty much everyone else it seems for corrupting the big evil government. After reading over your previous posts it makes me wonder how many different times the government has been subverted, according to you they are taken over by a new controlling interest every few weeks it seems.
You're a shitty troll or a dumb lunatic, not sure which.

I'll just go and play in the corner over there ... Don't mind me.
We wouldn't mind you, except you felt the need to point out that you don't play with others and want to be left alone.
That generally translates to mean that you're feeling lonely and seeking attention. Your actions speak far louder and betray your words.
Yes, I do, because until I see evidence to the contrary they (Google) has never outright lied about what they are doing.
They've had some mistakes and accidents.
They've done some stuff that was PERFECTLY reasonable, then felt others might see it that way, told everyone in the world what they did, how they fixed it ...
Google never really lies about their intentions so I really have no reason to not trust their actions.
I may not always agree with them, but they aren't liars. Its not Microsoft.

Thinking this is anything else is just naive.
I do have the right.
They gave me contract terms that stated very clearly 'unlimited data' and we both agreed to that control.
There is no issue in whats clear other than AT&T doesn't want to provide what they agreed to. I didn't agree to silly terms I didn't want to deliver, they did. Its not that they can't make good on the terms of the agreement, its that they don't want to because its not AS profitable for them.
Simply contract law, they are breaching it.
(As far as TFA is concerned, so is the douche bag who was tethering with his phone, which is a valid reason fot AT&T to tell him to go fuck himself)
They can say anything they want in the contract, that doesn't mean it overrides the law even if you signed the contract. If the law (a judge ruling for instance) says they can't drop him, then they can't regardless of the paper they signed says.
Its important to note though, that no one said AT&T can't drop him. It seems they can so far until someone actually shows otherwise.

True, but it still has to be capable of carrying the weight AT that distance, that just means that while it has the power to carry 4 tons ... from a distance of 20km ...

They took his kid away because HE FOUND NORMAL PORN ON HIS COMPUTER AND REPORTED IT TO THE COPS BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Not that you didn't say that specifically, but it seems to be a common mistake in the rest of the thread and I'm tired of posting :)
I would love to watch what happens when you actually try this shit in the real world.
You can request a speedy trial and you'll get one, and the judge will continue it until the prosecutor is ready.
If you want to pull some stupid 'this lawyer isn't serving me bullshit' then they just add a contempt of court charge to you and hold you until you stop being a complete douche.
Its cute that you've heard some bullshit about a loophole in the system but those you describe don't actually exist. The judge will simply tell you no and be done with it, and no one will give a shit or help you because it'll be perfectly clear that you're trying to abuse the system.
I assure you, far more intelligent people than your silly ass have tried and failed.
I'm not sure what your problem is, but it works just fine with my bluetooth keyboard and many others.
In reality, you, just like us, can do ANYTHING YOU WANT with YOUR network, just like we can do anything we want to our network. You are after all, using our servers when you say .com.
If you want to make your own .com and run it on your own little island, go right ahead, and others are free to join you.
You won't last long and you'll not find many followers, and just like everything else, it won't be long at all until you run into the exact same sort of disputes, but hey, you go right ahead and pretend this is unique to the US and that you guys (wherever you happen to be) would be different.
The only thing I ask is that you stop trying to bullshit people into thinking the US is taking something away from you. You are agreeing to listen to our DNS information, no one anywhere is forcing you, and with out even making a freaking change to your PC you could just use domains from your country and then you would only be dealing with your own laws.
Instead, you want to bitch that someone else isn't doing it the way you want it done like this is a unique situation that wouldn't possibly happen to you.
Yea, you'd say they've been more damaging than congress or our own internal companies and people?
Get a grip, one fucking guy on Wallstreet can do more damage in an instant than the Catholic church ever has.
If they were seriously trying to 'undermine' anything, we'd be a lot worse off than we are.
Also, I'm going to call you a liar. You do make religious comments in your posts, maybe not catholic church specific, but you certainly blame religion for problems. You also blame pretty much everyone else it seems for corrupting the big evil government. After reading over your previous posts it makes me wonder how many different times the government has been subverted, according to you they are taken over by a new controlling interest every few weeks it seems.
You're a shitty troll or a dumb lunatic, not sure which.
