It only "sucks" if you are a greedy or incompetent developer looking to cash in on Apple's hard work.
Or you just want to do something that Apple don't like for one reason or another. Want a emulator? Or an alternative browser? Or a program to download podcasts? Or a free tethering app? Tough, Apple say no you're not allowed to install that.
I've got ScummVM and a program that works as an HTTP proxy for free tethering (without any additional network charges) on my android phone *without rooting*, I can't ever imagine Apple agreeing to those.
Because they're both open source any improvements he (or any other ReactOS dev) makes can filter back to Wine, so in many ways they are putting their energy into Wine.
only an electrochemical process? Maybe not... can't find a link to the article but read an interesting piece a while ago on certain structures in nerve cells that trap electrons and seem to behave like quantum computers, so it may be the case that nature is already tapping into quantum computing for thought and consciousness, imagine the brain as billions of networked quantum computers - it's no wonder AI hasn't caught up yet.
After being bitten by a PDF vulnerability before (I run as a normal user account so it didn't completely own my box and was fairly easy to clean up) I disabled the PDF plugin in Firefox. Now if I try to view a PDF I get an open/download request for the file rather than just opening automatically.
This way a site can't open any PDF files without me knowing.
It seems Adobe PDF reader is fast becoming the new IE in terms of web security.
Y'know I recently moved my collection of CD-R and DVD-R burnt (backups, of course;) movies onto an external harddrive, a lot of the discs in there were 7,8 even 9 years old and all of them read fine.
basically it's md5(websiteUrl + masterPassword) which creates a nice random string to use as a password. If one of those sites gets hacked or one of the passwords gets found out it's no biggie because each site has a unique password (if your master password gets found out then people might be able to guess at some of your logins tho)
I still let Firefox store my passwords but I keep them protected with a master password. Sure someone could brute force it but I don't save my bank passwords with it.
Close, but if I remember a documentary on the conflict correctly the missiles needed codes to work which the French government was/going to/ withhold, but someone leaked them to the Argentinians

Agree we should protect Apollo 11's landing site, but what about the later missions?
I don't really feel quite as attached to say, Apollo 17's landing site and I'm sure it would be useful to know how the hardware has held up 40 years in space.
While it is a small change, it is fairly radical to tinker with an area of hardware which has been largely unchanged since the 19th century.
Unchanged since the 19th century?? What a load of rubbish, keyboards are constantly being tinkered with, the trend seeming to be squeezing existing keys to make room for new keys.
What I'd like is a bigger return key, like when they used to be a big reverse L shape. Too many times I end a line like this#
I have to say that having watched the clips several times fullscreen in VLC that subjectively (to me) the 1000kbps mpeg-4 looks way better than the 2400kbps Theora.
I get the feeling the Theora clip has a little more detail, but the artifacts on the low contrast areas really stand out. Mpeg-4 smooths them over in a much more natural way and doesn't get any stuck blocks.
12. Bad security model: there's zero protection against keyboard keyloggers and against running malicious software (Linux is viruses free only due to its extremely low popularity). sudo is very easy to circumvent (social engineering). sudo still requires CLI (see clause 4.).
Looks more like an extremely clever political statement to me. Surely the hight of laziness would be to do nothing at all, rather than sticking it to the man??

Really? I usually end up replacing my optical drives in my PC every 18-24 months or so as they get slowly worse and worse at reading discs (even after cleaning). At less then £20 each I'm not really surprised tho.

Ahem, "They added, however, that the target of Oct. 2018 would only be realized if adequate alternatives are developed"

That's a very precise figure for something that's just a rough estimate!
Surely "around 500,000,000 tonnes" is a better way to put it?

On a recent trip abroad I found that
Helsinki airport has free wifi
Nagoya airport has free wifi
Seoul airport has free wifi
Yet all the London airports back home only give you paid wifi. I'm sure they make plenty enough money to provide free wifi the bloody cheapskates.
I've been using something like this for a while

IE6 > NS4.
That's as far as it goes.
I've been reading about these found tapes for weeks, post the youtube link already!
The first Veyron is an engineering marvel... It stands as one of the greatest achievements of the petroleum age.
O RLY?
Top Gear's power laps say otherwise.

How about over 100mph ?

There is a work around using ROW_NUMBER in MSSQL that's just as fast but the sql you need to write is U-G-L-Y
