God is Santa for grown-ups. Toy with the idea if that pleases you. Please note that almost any step beyond that is TOO far.
There is no God - all religious people are hoping in vain for a presence that is greater than them. In reality, they're the greatest there is, at least around this particular part of the galaxy. I'd say though that they're lessened by adopting beliefs which aren't just ridiculous, but also obviously wrong. That's not taking mankind forward (regardless of which reasonable direction you define that to be).
I so would have loved a world where people started believing what they can actually observe - because there is no more. Sure there is abstract stuff - emotions, tales, bravery and compassion. None of that requires disbelief in what you see though.
You can choose your purpose in the world. Or just go with the flow and chase those chemical reactions we all enjoy. Please don't shut your eyes though. Every healthy man and woman is capable of inspecting the world and assessing that there is no ground for believing in a god.

It does not make sense to say that some companies "lag behind" others, when the selection criteria for which companies to study (Fortune 500) is based on performance. That's stupid.

I think the issue is this. There is a rigorous framework in place for how to qualify your devices, and the Bluetooth interest group is making a lot money conducting that qualification. In fact, it might be their main source of income. It's not necessarily a bad thing either if the testing is good and helpful, and the price for it is fair (I assume it's not, but anyway).
Having third party compatibility lists cropping up undermines the power the group has to force hardware vendors to pay for qualification.
Also, I guess the "illegal" part is bogus as far as the site owner goes. It is probably true that the makers of Bluetooth devices have a license agreement with the group that prohibits them from marketing their device as compatible with a specific environment without having gone through the qualification. The group might want to imply that it is illegal for those companies to be on that list, and therefore illegal to publish it.
It might also be that the site owner through involvement with BlueZ actually has signed an agreement to follow guidelines of the group, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
This is an obvious ad! Also, that goes for all of the linked site! They have these fake hyperlinks in the text that are just ads. This is total crap and should not be here.
There are some technical differences, but they might be insignificant. I'd say that the largest difference is that we typically care [slightly or a lot] more for the news sources we link to from/. than for some TV corporation.
Especially the interpolation gets really ridiculous... they have this "nice" interconnecting line segments that represent what - a combination of two cards?
It would have made some sense to have the lines in the other dimension, with three points on the line, one for each size of file and then one line for each card. The interpolation that the line represents would then have a meaning - files of other sizes. That would get a little messy though. But seriously, how often did a line graph make sense with the lines in either dimension?:) There is at most one correct choice...
That's probably not such a good thing... we should give servers that we're about to murder some compensation. I think it's even very bad tone to do this.
It is completely, totally out of question for Microsoft to buy Opera or any other browser. It is so fucking out of discussion that they're just as surprised as we are about these speculations.
In general, Sweden is not free of copyright. There are however explicit provisions for copying anything to family and friends. This goes around to the labels through a general tax on all recordable media. Interesting idea, but it maddens you when you pay a few cents extra per DVD even when you're printing holiday pictures. If you are a frequent producer of material, you can apply for being exempt from the extra charge to media.
That'll be due to the laws of Sweden. They're very explicit about that you're allowed to communicate how to commit crimes, which is what the torrent tracker does. So for now they're safe. The law is nice for P2P, but doesn't really make sense so we expect that it'll change eventually.
As noted by sibling post, subs surface to use radio. They can however receive communication while submerged, through an extremely long wave length. Don't have the details on those systems though.
I don't think the point of HTTP connections was to slip through firewalls that didn't want source code management to go through. It's mainly really great because of it being WebDAV. This means you can browse with other clients, and you can even write changes with simple WebDAV clients and have them automatically inserted as a commit.
For some, it's really convenient to consider the repository part of the web and administer rights to different parts of the repository to different users using the usual WebDAV mechanisms.
See the manual for a concise list of actions to allow in the proxy, if you want to use this access protocol.
There is still the option of a dedicated server using whatever port, so there is no step down in functionality from CVS.
I agree that it's silly that the default behaviour is not to respect system wide proxy settings. The default should be to use the system wide settings, on all platforms (Mac OS X also has those).
I've heard this debate on crippling US carriers long enough. Being a european I was really surprised that Verizon did NOT give you the alternative of bringing your own phone. What? Here I come, phone in hand, willing to pay them for letting me call through their network. And they deny??
Do all US operators do this? I have a competent SonyEricsson P910i that I'll bring to California for a year's worth of studies, and I will be looking for a carrier that accepts me.

There is a mandatory class, "Theory of knowledge". It deals with stuff like this and should, as you suggest, be given to each and every kid.
Interesting difference is that you can extract the biometric authentication out of a person by removing the authenticating body part, while there is no way to extract a password out of a dead person. Difference with living persons isn't that big, since there is torture very few would withstand.

Yeah, they ran Linux. They had six computers I believe, but I think one or two of those weren't used for important stuff.

You're right, IANAL. And I would probably also have complied. Getting the story posted on /. is a smart move though:)

You can't really trust somebody who makes a line graph when there is no notion of sequence! Thinking about this one:

I don't see why people would even consider this.

Aha. Right. I think it is a criminal offense in Sweden, to the extent it's forbidden at all.

The range would be uselessly limited.

I like the idea of no time zones. While it might be confusing to travel, it's much easier to communicate, which is done much more often.

There are plenty of reasons to why the key layout matter, and so it seems implausible that the optimal layout would be abcdefg.
We're probably going to use keyboards for most of our lives and even a very small advantage of a certain layout is worth pursuing.
