The problem is structural deficits, so in a sense, yes, it is like a family budget but sovereign debt is most assuredly not like the family budget. I think a better statement that nobody challenges the assumption of is "The US debt and the US deficit are the same problem: not enough revenue/too much spending." when clearly this is not the case...no household can issue treasury notes and then hold down inflation with the Federal Reserve and have "free" money during a recession, for example.
Technically, not a problem for Android users who stay in Google's walled garden either. Now, we can debate the merits of walled gardens but the article itself is just trying to gin up business for McAfee and citing running unknown sources as evidence of some malware problem when the issue is the user, not the system, since that is off by default.
This isn't doing anything to LTE for T-Mobile...they got the bandwidth and the cash to do it when the AT&T merger failed to get past the FCC...there was a huge poison pill in that deal that gave T-Mobile $4 Billion in cash and bandwidth to compete with AT&T...once they roll over their towers to LTE (tentatively set for 2013), GSM, 3G T-Mobile, 3G AT&T (at faster speeds that on the AT&T network itself due to the nature of HSPA+), and LTE will be supported across the entire T-Mobile network.
For a company that is setting itself to become a major non-contract GSM provider, they don't give a rip about how locked your device is or isn't...that's just silly...they already have ad materials in NY (where they're re-farmed their network to be 3G AT&T compatible) showing if you bring your own iPhone you can save something like $1,000 over a two year contract even if you buy the device new.
They want to sell you a SIM card and a plan and bring your device...T-Mobile is now looking at how they can expand their customer base having gotten a shiny, new, AT&T-compatible network from AT&T for freeeeeeeeeeee.
I thought the same thing...I then realized by that point in Hendrix's career, he had played Monterey and Woodstock and was bonafide star in his own right in the US after his success in Europe...the interesting bit in the original poster's comment is how the internet now bands together people who all the like same thing and the collaboration that can result from that passion. Had Hendrix been an amateur or hobbyist or just someone into remixing (discounting how easy modern computers have made remixing songs now), Dylan would have likely never heard that arrangement and "All Along The Watchtower" would merely be a semi-forgotten Dylan B-side.
Well, Windows 2000 borrowed chunks of the BSD TCP/IP stack...but it's definitely not a BSD variant...Apple did something similar with the Mach kernel and BSD UI...but they at least gave the community back Darwin...
No surprise there...Android has been adopted by T-Mobile and Verizon (and Sprint) as an iPhone slayer...AT&T has imposed its firmware restrictions on its Android phones to limit options and because of the way the spectrum is cut up in the US, none of T-Mobile's 3G devices work on AT&T's network and vice-versa...so it's not like they're are a bunch of G1s and MyTouches running on AT&Ts network...those people would be with T-Mobile...so basically, if you're asking AT&T customers about Android, odds are, they're not happy with it and didn't look at phone first and carrier second...
Or Google's first phone, which they sold in stores, thru T-Mobile, under contract, like the iPhone. The Nexus One appeared as follow up to the G1 and basically set the bar for Android 2.0 devices. Considering Google sold every unit of the Nexus One and pushed the bar further for Android devices, I think it was a success...they weren't looking to take on Apple in units sold, just in phones running their OS and the Nexus One set the standard by which Android 2.0 devices were measured.
Dogs are domesticated wolves...who live and hunt in packs. If the cat is an accepted member of the pack, it will be tolerated by the dog. This is a vast oversimplification, of course, but what it comes down to. Man has selectively bred dogs for specific tasks since domesticating them...so we have dogs for hunting, herding, security, and companionship. Depending on which tasks the dog was bred for will determine whether it's sociable with other pets. Even then, there will be variation between individuals of the same breed and while some breeds are more cat/pet-friendly than others, each dog is still an individual and results will vary. If they dog accepts the cat or cats as part of its pack, there's no problem. If the dog doesn't have a strong prey drive, it may just ignore the cat. Either way, it has nothing to do with the Uncanny Valley.
I think month would be valid...for instance, I have a January birthday so my culture experience is going to be different than somebody with a birthday later in the year simply because I would be a year ahead of them in school and presumably the things that shaped my likes and dislikes are going to be different than somebody who was born in, say, September as I would consistently have been a year ahead of them in school...as this trend continues through the primary and secondary school years, I could see how this data point could be quite relevant.
The Beta quit in June, I believe, however, the RC is good until March, I think...I should check since I have the RC on one of my partitions but I think that's becoming FreeBSD anyway...so what do I care...honestly, played with 7, decided it was a worthwhile upgrade over XP, and then went back to XP since all my stuff's there.
mostly Google's complete lack of support for Exchange...I would have considered a G1 if it would have played nice with Exchange like the iPhone or Blackberry or Windows Mobile. I have T-Mobile (for the past 6 years) and deemed the G1 unacceptable from an enterprise standpoint, not for its apps or openness. It just wouldn't work like I needed it to with Exchange. Doing IT for a small business, it came down to what can I support as a standard across pretty much every carrier...and guess what, it's a Blackberry or Win Mobile phone.
This is particularly salient since the original Insight was a "mild" hybrid that used the electric motor for assist, regenerative braking, and to start/stop the engine...it couldn't move under electric power alone, unlike the Prius at the time...it wasn't until the 2006 Civic Hybrid a Honda hybrid could move under electric power (with the motor freewheeling and the valves open).
All of our workstations get named EXT000.domain.local (obviously 000 changes to the extension)...it makes easy to setup remote log-in via the VPN and it makes it easy to identify who has what installed on their computer uniquely. We're a small company (10 employees), so it may not scale well, but if you're really hung up on keeping track of individual computers, it seems like a no brainer to treat it like the telephone (just another tool) and tie it to that...
At one point, Dell offered FreeDOS as their Opensource option and an associated credit over windows on quite a few of their machines...making it relatively easy to buy an "empty" box with warranty and support, if that was your bag...now I think they've switch to Ubuntu...but still, the point is support vendors who don't offer windows and more vendors won't offer windows (and don't bitch about not getting all of the Microsoft surcharge back, they still have to test their hardware and perhaps write drivers).
Sooooo, they can take all three games and make three movies...then reboot the series with new characters from the World of Warcraft campaigns...sooooo...Blizzards trying to launch a big ol' movie cash cow that will last for a decade. I think the Lord of the Rings set a pretty high bar for fantasy films with the sticking point being characters.
My media consumption is split probably 70-30 online legit content vs. watching it off the TV. I haven't setup my DVR since we moved into a new house but before that, everything went on the media computer. I don't want to mess with downloading and finding content. With a hulu, I know it's there for three weeks...I found with the DVR if it didn't get watched in a week, it was never going to get watched (in a house with six people). I have it setup so I can plug my laptop into the TV and stereo now, if I miss something I'll just put it up on my TV and watch it. Frankly, I think it's fair to watch 2-3 minutes of ads targeted at me vs. 10 minutes typically found on TV. If it means I can watch my shows on my schedule, it's worth it. And, while I think copyright is totally messed up now, I don't think I should be ripping off content producers. At some point, if they can't make money producing content, they will stop making content...right now, the torrenters and copiers are subsidized by the people who consume content paid for by advertising. Once advertising is no longer profitable, everyone loses. I don't know how the landscape will change so producers can make money but it will change...and I'll go along with it. But until then, I think it's perfectly reasonable to watch a couple of ads in exchange for entertainment.
Well, it does add copy/paste (finally), landscape keyboard in Notes & Mail, global search, and nifty controls to Podcasts (30 sec skip, 2x/.5x/1x playback, e-mail button)...plus Push for apps to run in the background. I'm satisfied with the upgrade on my 1G...but still annoyed I had to pay all 10 bucks when I don't get bluetooth headphone support (that's 2G only).
I would probably be considered a windows power user and I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 x64 on my new 300 gig hard drive...the worst part of the upgrade? Getting my windows image to boot properly. Ubuntu 9.04 x64 worked after I had to reboot for my wireless card. Now, this is a Dell D620, so maybe it was standardized or Dell offers linux on it or whatever, but it was just as seemless (if not more so since I didn't have to download and install drivers for any hardware, just reboot) as installing XP from scratch. People seriously interested in Open Source software don't need an article like this, they'll already be there...I am going to install FreeBSD on my empty 100 gig partition but I haven't gotten around to it yet...
The war in this case is the Civil War...the one that basically created the idea of Federal Government as we know it...and even then, it only refers to the period immediately before the Civil War, generally.
Good enough has changed because Linux keeps up with the Windows upgrade cycle...I attempted to dust off a Pentium II 300 with 448mb RAM, 40 gig hard drive, CD-ROM, DVD/CD-RW, ESS Mastro II PCI sound card, and an Nvidia TNT2 (32 mb). To a get a mostly usable system (partially attributable to broken ACPI), I went from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 to XUbuntu 8.10 before ultimately making a reasonable net appliance with FreeBSD-7.1 & XFce4...that lasted about two weeks until I got a DFI AK76-SN with an Athlon XP 1800+, 512mb RAM, and an Nvidia Ti4200 (128mb) from my brother because I was bitching about not being able to get a stable system from ancient hardware...granted I moved from circa '97-'98 hardware to probably about '00-'01 but what a difference 3 years makes when the current kernel has been basically synced to the MS upgrade cycle because that's what's been driving hardware development...I now have Ubuntu 8.04 running on a completely usable system, no difference from the XP Pro box upstairs in terms of functionality.
Not exactly, they can't make reflective black paint that doesn't look mud brown...yet...but it's phased in and manufactures have until 2016 to come up with non-black black paint. I personally don't see how a 20% increase in reflectivity can't include some part of the visible spectrum, making black no longer black...
the new marketyng mandate to replace all our "I" wyth "Y"s...yn fact, yt wyll make everythyng more old tymye...why, all the tyme I spent learnyng to read myddle englysh wyll fynally be tyme well spent...
There's something to be said for a standard set of behaviors across many systems, even for home users. Certainly, I don't use Unix everyday but after having an iBook for 3 years then replacing it with an XP laptop (for work), I ended installing Cygwin so I would have Unix like functionality at the command line so that I would have a standard set of interfaces...boot into bash and go...
