Yes , if I remember correctly some years ago a driver put his camper in Cruise Control and went back to make a coffee. Of course, because the vehicle manufacturer had not explicitly said " don't leave the wheel' or something similar, they lost the subsequent case.
... that folks pirate stuff? I have no personal interest in x-box or any apps that run on them (don't own one and have no desire to), but when you treat your customers like shit, then you can't really complain when they treat your product as a freely available commodity.
Suck it up MS, you will reap what you sow for previously loyal x-box users.
....that many commenters do not have a sound grasp of statistics. nah fuck it.....I cant be bothered telling you about 30 year averages, mathematical modelling, errors etc
Go and sit in your basement and cook/freeze whatever and ignore basic high school physics.
Can't comment on Ellison personally, but it does seem that a LOT of successful business people (I know a few) are shits. Perhaps that is what is needed to become financially successful? Of course money does not make you a good person, as you have pointed out.
We have a small holiday rental property in which there is free wifi and a Ubuntu PC. This suits us well - particularly the PC as we do not need to worry about what is downloaded and who looks at it. Wifi is of course another issue, but this thread is Ubuntu, and we are very happy. I suspect that some of the naysayers either have needs other than ours or have not looked into needs such as ours. My 2C, keep the change!
Yes, you've got it. It was the speculative invoicing that was the problem, not the copying/distributing. I very much doubt that this will go to the High Court (the last course of legal action in Oz for all you non-Aussies), but I'd expect that they would also reject it. A good sense judgement imo, regardless of the infringement.
Sad you were taken as a troll. The science is as clear as it can be - we are emitting more CO2 than ever before - CO2 is a greenhouse gas - measured temperatures are rising. No other thoroughly investigated possible link to measured warming is viable except rising levels of CO2. Geez some people here are scientific fuckwits. Some of you fuckheads need to read some real science, not the crap poured into the media by fox etc. who inform the blogs of non-scientists. Do you actually believe that Mockton has something useful to say? Frankly he's a fraud who - amongst other crap - claims to be a member of parliment when he cannot be because his peerage is inherited.
Sorry, a bit too subtle for you was it? You must be a regular here. Go and read about disruptive technologies and how they are upsetting the old business models
Everyone knows that the moon landing was a fake!
This should be enough for all you doubters http://listverse.com/2012/12/2...
Jesus Slashdot, post some real science for fuck sake
Sad thing is the conspiracy theorists are alive and well..... and breeding
These fucking nutters may suggest otherwise. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...
Jeez, sometimes I wonder what is going on in the brains of some people and can only conclude that the answer is "nothing"
doesn't get a few things, like digging 60M tonnes of coal from central Queensland might be a) bad for the Great Barrier Reef (because of the port infrastructure needed) and b) bad for CO2 levels in the atmosphere, and C) bad for Australia because we will pay for infrastructure for these projects to go ahead. He is typical of conservative politics in Australia - I hope his great grand-children forgive him.
Moron. You are confusing local weather - extra sea ice - with climate - loss of total ice mass. Fucking well read some science rather than relying on fox spews (deliberate) for your mis-information. You and your ilk really piss me off because you can't understand even the most basic science . Where the fuck did you go to school? And what the fuck were you doing in your science class - probably looking down the shirt of the girl next to you and wondering what her nipples looked like.
here in OZ they are pushing the boundaries of what is legal for "taxi" services, so I would be very surprised if that were not the case in other countries/states juristrictions.
yes. I lost my mobile phone (cellphone) and it was found by a car detailing firm when I was to sell my car - actually under the passenger seat but that's another story. IOT we really aren't there yet I believe - 'specially for oldies like me who don't own or want to own a smartphone.

Just like IE was the internet when it had dominant browser share . Yeah right!

So the Brits are douchebags for wanting to decrease reliance on fossil fuels? What does that make you?

to fuck people over because you have enough money to purchase a monopoly from corrupt government officials.
ignorance and stupidity are alive and well

You Sir/Mam are a fucking moron read some real science instead of the crap that comes from Fox/other Murdoch idiots or out of your own ass.

and that makes you?
