Bullshit? Yeah. Obama, Biden...the list is endless. Opposition to "gay marriage" was rife 5 years ago. The opposition wasn't up in arms over granting equal civil and legal rights to civil partnerships... no, the religious zealots were pissed that their godly and sancro-sanct term "marriage" would be granted to homosexuals.
For many it was really about semantics... not rights. I can't know what Eich's justification was for supporting Prop 8. Did his opinion eventually evolve like Obama's? What exactly were Eich's opinions? Did they evolve? Oh, ok... let's make logically indirect assumptions based on donations.
Assuming they are partaking in TPB's ad revenue, DPRK should easily triple their GDI within 6 months, and perhaps be able to adequately feed their hungry masses within the year. It's a "Win Win" for everyone : )
Gimp, Inkscape, VLC,, and other great free cross-platform programs do run on Windows because, unlike MS, these projects seek broad, free distribution. Sorry, but MS utterly fails in that area, understandably so.
As a business user, I cannot survive without MS and Adobe.
As a home user, I do survive with Linux...very comfortably and very cheaply (vs. 10 years ago).
The Linux Desktop quietly arrived a few years ago. My Dad is 85, and happily and ignorantly browsing the Internet and reading email using Debian. He used to be a black hole for viruses on XP, but no longer....mission accomplished
I think the designers were likely smart enough to know that even a "fail-safe" self-destruct system could fail. I'm guessing there is no (discoverable) ultra-secret tech on that drone. Much ado about political posturing.
Inference from fossils is a mature and noble science- but pales in comparison to studying live organisms. Direct observation of a living specimens provide verifiable data on behavior, ecology, soft anatomy/ physiology, genetics...and the list goes on and on. Digging up a human cranium likely wouldn't reveal to an alien the full behavioral potential (good or bad) of Homo sapiens.
It's your car I'm driving (it's registered in your name) and I'm drunk and run over the neighbor kid and do a hit and run. Someone see's the license plate.
But Woo Hoo!...I'm off the hook. Your sorry a$$ is going to the big house for life!
If my memory is correct, Wal-mart did offer digital downloads at good prices (0.89/song) for a few years. Format was Windows Media w/DRM. They shut down the service a while back.

Customer conversation with HP:
Customer: Hi there, I need a new computer.
HP: What does it need to do?
Customer: Well, I need avoid the viruses.
HP: We's gots the Windows.
Customer: Thank you.

My 2002 generic Chevy Impala is going strong with 220K miles and orig transmission. My '92 BMW 850 (V12) bit the dust at 100K. Shit car for the price.

Wow- I was unaware of that...and that is scary. Thanks for the heads up....no more lending the car to friends.

As with my browser, I'd prefer to view and scroll my Office documents using the latest DirectXX5d, hardware-boosted acceleration.
Had to associate it somehow with tech...Is Slashdot the new Fark.com?
