Spoken like a true billionaire. Perhaps he should be pennyless and see if squinting is a big issue in the use of the systems. If the systems were his new clameshell, he would be all for it.
To answer your question, this is a politically motivated issue, which the Bush administration has shown they can use quite well to gain power. After all, why work on hard problems when they can court votes with easy issues. This is the main difference between "liberals" and "conservatives". Liberals address hard problems in a unpolicial like manner, conservatives create political issues which they don't address. A great example is the issue of gay marriage (I know, off topic). The conservative rant was that gay marriage was ruining the sacred values of marriage in America. Do they address the issue that 50 percent of all marriages fail in divorce? NO! That would be unpolicial, and besides, their constituites would make less money (ie: lawyers) if they were to address the real issues of marriages failing. All I can say is: VOTE THE BASTURDS OUT!
What benevolent society starves it's people, limits free speech, has no civil rights, and has a history of mass murders? Saying that democracy is overrated is just crazy. Perhaps you should go overthere and live for a while, on rice and beetles, and see what freedom really is like. MOD the parent down!
The use of tidal currents will result in a gravatational drag on the moon. Over a long enough time period, the moon will begin to spiral closer and closer to the earth, finally crashing into the planet.
Andreas Dreher, the company's CEO, says the lenses won't likely improve vision beyond 20/20, but they provide better contrast and less double vision than traditional lenses.
So exactly what is this super vision you speak of, better contract and less double vision? I think super vision would be more like seeing microscopic or magnafying.
As a security administrator, I would like to know how this works, what ports it uses, etc. Can someone please post this info, I can't find it on their website.
I for one praise the EFF for going after companies that thumb their nose at the law. The king, er, I mean president may be above the law, but not corporations.
This sounds simular to an excuse currently being used in political circles to violate the constitution. I guess we just gotta teach our kids that "I don't wanna" is ok for the 2000's. Mod me down.
Ok, so the Republicans won't impeach their pope, but us liberals will just wait for a terrorist to get off because of the info used to arrest them was illegal. Pope bush won't be able to explain how he aided in letting a terrorist off. If he had simply gone through FISA, they wouldn't have a loophole. Now they do.
I once met him at Walt Disney World, he was hawking his new book. A friend asked for his autograph, and he signed it to the wrong name. She later came back , bought another book, and asked him for an autograph with the right name. He told her that this amounts to stalking, and she better stay away. He is very rude. Oh, and mod me down again, I don't care.
Mod me down, but here is my opinion. George Bush has overstepped his role as the president, his oath he took with his hand on the Bible, his constitutional duty to follow the laws of the land. Even if he were impeached, he would ignore the results, as he is above the law. Supporting his lawless regime is supporting the overthrow of the constitution, the murder of tens of thousands of innocent people around the world, the jailing of innocent people without charges for indetermiment time periods. He uses the threat of terrorism to gain political power, and to break our constitutional laws. May Freedom stand! Stand up to tyranny!
As seen on Mythbusters, toilet seats are known to be quite clean. Perhaps some simular tool would be a better comparison, such as a mouse? Why compare a toilet seat, why not the toilet bowl, which ***does*** come in contact with waste?
You will see microsoft pulling all support for Apple out in the near future, due to the fact that Apple will be competing with them in the near future in the OS market.
Mark my words, this will turn into a constitutional crisis, especially if Bush and Chaney are not impeached for their wrongdoing. What we have is not, as Chaney put it, a strengthing of the executive branch. This is a takeover of the democratic process itself. The president is acting as a dictator by being above the law. I have already written all my representatives on this matter, and I recommend that if you feel strongly that your rights were violated (either directly through spying, or indirectly by the violation of constitutional laws), you should also write your representatives. Oh, and the argument by Bush that he is protecting the homeland is hogwash, especially if you believe him when he took the oath of the presidency to "protect the constitution". If he truely is protecting the homeland, he must uphold his oath of the presidency and protect the constitution. By protecting the constitution, I mean also that he must abide by the constitution and it's laws.
Progress seems to be more FUD than FACT. I thought the news just yesterday was that Windows has less flaws than linux. Now it turns out that it depends on what a flaw is. Who are they kidding? Does microsoft understand that there is a SCIENCE to computer programming? Perhaps the top technology person for Microsoft should go back to school (and finish) with a degree in computer science.
I have been hearing how terrible Wal-Mart is to their employees, american, etc. This just gives the people making this claim more proof of such. Personally, I fail to believe that a company that is price point driven would try to alienate their customers by having any racist statements, even implied, on their website.
Imagine their president ordering this to take place. Wouldn't he just make statements directly to the press, like Henry Ford did?
Isn't it more likely that 1) An employee either mistakenly or on purpose set this up, or 2) The system had a failure (ie: a pointer to a link list got messed up?
Since Wal-Mart has not told how this foul up occured, we may never know. But what I do see that gives Wal-Mart some credence that this is not an slur by the company is that they immediatly addressed the problem when they found out about it.
I read somewhere (an article by Thompson or Ritchie, or both), that they purposely created command names that were not descriptive of their function. If I remember correctly, it was in order to enforce weak typing. So having non-descriptive application names is in the same conceptual thread as keeping command names non-descriptive.
Personally, I wish I was younger to be able to remember all this stuff better.

I love it, but can't find any documentation on how to get a dhcp network up under linux. Running it via qemu, and it rocks though!

I hear that Moore is a bad-ass. Whoever doesn't follow his law gets birdshot in the face...

I go 55mph each day, that is "near" light speed. It's all relative.

I thought there were a variety of products out there, some GPL'd that will do this same thing. Think nagios...
Umm, isn't the new particle, the graviton, the dark matter we speaketh of?
I'm installing Gentoo right now...
