A corporation cannot vote... only a registered voter should be able to donate to a campaign. If a company wants to donate, give it to their employees, and state that they'd like them to support candidate X.
I think the disagreement with "Living Constitution" isn't with regards to being amendable so much as being re-interpreted in different ways than original intent. Such as glossing over the first amendment (which should take priority, as it came later) over international treaty (not amended into the constitution)...
Honestly, I always liked a lot of Sony's hardware (outside their computers). But after the CD rootkit, and a few other similar infractions and having to uninstall their rootkit on a few dozen machines, create temp email account, install more crapware ActiveX via IE, agree to forfeit my email address to Sony, state again I want the rootkit gone, delete email account... On a few dozen computers...
I vowed to *NEVER*, *EVER* buy any Sony product again. I did buy a DVD box set of a TV series that was backed by Sony, before I knew a couple years ago. They have a history of doing crap like this, and really should not be a company that makes hardware *AND* media.
I used LiteStep for the longest time as a shell replacement... Win7 is probably the first time I didn't even consider it. I don't recall the theme I used, but it had some really nice behaviors setup, and customizing was pretty straight forward.
With a rather large market share, and a more consistent platform to develop against, it's hard to ignore. I know more iOS devs, than I do Android. For that matter, a lot of dev's are liking that Windows Phone users are more willing to part with cash for useful apps than either of the former. That said, I'm an android user out of philosophy as much as anything else.
Well, first off, it it a software/design/conceptual patent... it probably shouldn't be valid... If it occurs in nature via breeding, it shouldn't be valid... If it's a business, not a technical process, it shouldn't be valid.
It would be nice if Google said it would commit $500k to the leading opposition of any congressman that votes for SOPA or ProtectIP, and $1M to the leading opposition for any senator. That would get them to think twice.
Sounds like what most developers I know do with JavaScript... at least with JS the language itself and its' core functionality is consistent and well documented. Though things like var a=[], b=+a, c=!b; may be confusing when you first experience it, as coercion is one of the most confusing, but strongest elements with JS, mainly stemming from loosely defined inputs in HTML. The biggest irks I have is the limitations on the build in Date (though DateJS resolves most of them) and with string formatting, though I wrote a library similar to.Net's String.Format (that works from string literals as well). Arrays and objects in JS are nicer to deal with than most other languages I've worked with, and strings are second only to Ruby/Perl imho.... PHP's core.. just ugly and inconsistent.
Thank you... I'm so sick of people assuming that just because you don't like PHP, you only do.Net (though I do in my day job). I honestly feel that some maturing in the NodeJS space will probably leave it ahead in the pack in the long run.
Honestly the syntax of the language doesn't bug me nearly so much as the inconsistancy_in TheApi andItsCommonLibraries. Some use pointers/handles as psuedo classes, or just plain poorly conceived and inconsistent string and array handling. I know there are frameworks on top of PHP that sterilize a lot of this, it just feels like building a house on sand. There are honestly very few web frameworks I really like, and I've worked with many of them. C# + MVC is a fav, but I've seen some wretched code in C# as well. Usually derived from "software architects" who will abstract everything out ad infinitum and sometimes to no point at all. I'm all for IoC and other abstractions and models when they serve a purpose. when you only need 5-10 method calls for a very simple web-app, it's overkill.
C#'s greatest downfall is those developers/architects that will over-engineer what can be a simple system. PHP's greatest downfall is the sheer popularity in un-trained, or ill-thinking programmers that give the same level of bad taste VB did in the 90's for a lot of people. Bad code can indeed be written in any language, but when a language's core functionality is so poorly conceived, it's harder to write good code. For the record, not very fond of C/C++, but do like Perl okay (for text processing).
I'm afraid on many levels I agree, and disagree. I personally abhor PHP. I dislike the more typical libraries (thin wrappers around C libraries) more than anything. There's no consistency, or uniformity in the most used APIs in the language either. Honestly, I would rather use NodeJS than PHP. I happen to use C# for my day job, and like MVC over WebForms (horrible model for web application building). That doesn't even get into other alternatives such as Rails, Django, etc.
I really wish PHP would die a fast painless death already. It's the web equivalent of all the VB applications in the late 80's-90's.. though VB is actually a better language than PHP.
I think you probably have that number backwards.. the vast majority of addresses are held/assigned to various ISPs and being used for peer devices, home internet, mobile devices etc. Most small-medium businesses are using 1-8 addresses. Most of the unused IPs are in the mid-large businesses that aren't using all they've been assigned, though segmenting an address block may, or may not be possible.
I would suggest that anyone with even a class B should probably be encouraged to break them up and return unused blocks. That will only help for so long. With 4 billion addresses (maybe 3.5 billion usable) and 6 billion people and counting, more and more with multiple devices, it wil only go so far. I really think that mobile companies should be among the first on IPv6 with IPv4 access via NAT & proxy. Just my $.02
Not sure I 100% agree. I will say that the best results take real project management, ownership, oversight and review. Many of these companies chasing the bottom are also avoiding proper PM, planning and management portions. As horrible as the thought is, it really takes about 1:3 management/ownership to developer time in order for a software project to come together. The craftsmanship of the code is another issue. In the end, the user doesn't care about code quality, only that it works as expected, and provides value.
I spent most of the past year running a bunch of local/foreign dev projects. I honestly couldn't do it anymore, and am now a UX monkey for a local.com site. Couldn't be happier, even with a >35% cut in pay.
Costs Millions, but generates billions a year in revenue... sound fair... patents are 20 years... so 10-25 million investment into a drug... 20+ billion in returns... kind of a stretch to say a 20 year patent is necessary, since apparently even after patent expiration they can be profitable from manufacture alone.
Bitcoins anyone? Seriously though, A lot of people don't quite settle for the onboard GPU, especially if you like to game with a very high resolution, or multiple monitors. I wouldn't even consider myself a gamer, but I run discrete in my desktop, though it's a now aging ATI Radeon HD 5770, it still works well enough for my needs. My biggest reason is multiple displays supported well. Most discrete graphics don't have multiple digital connections, so one will be via VGA, and invariably the colors won't match between two of the same monitor, which is far more annoying than anything to me, and calibration was still too far off for my tastes.
The point is far more people are willing to buy these. I happen to favor mid-range cards for myself, and usually will start with onboard graphics for anyone that doesn't play 3d games.

Not everyone here wants it this way...

That would be three good rules to start with.
So, take unilateral action against said countries.. don't break the internet *HERE* to do it.

I'm pretty sure the UI, and much of the codebase for the Mac version is not shared with the windows version.

I tend to notice a lot of compression artifacts in DVD as well, especially noticable in darker movies and scenes.

Okay, remind me to never let you use my car... since that implies you can use it for hookers and blow.
Generally the root tool asks for permission on behalf on an app that needs root access... At least that's my experience so far.
Don't even respond with NGINX been trying to win that for awhile now.
This could be a good time to push for it...
IIRC both CGI ans FastCGI are supported, yes to PHP.
