Americas vast prison system is also a huge industry with a vested interest in marijuana hysteria.
I suspect the alcohol industry may see it as a threat as well. In my experience people who smoke weed abuse alcohol less and that could cause a loss of revenue. Thus the alcohol industry will feed hysteria because they know it is false.
Probably impractical. There is the issue of how much money they can extort.
if you upload they sue for ten trillion dollars (approximate) a song, but downloading they could only sue you over the one copy and the damages claimed would have to be much smaller and probably not worth the lawyers it would take.
My code often has multi-column formatting I would like to preserve.
e.g. a initialized structure array or a list of #defines where I want names and value in two columns
Linux already made MS drop their price, allwing cheap windows netbooks because of linux.
It's not out of the question that a really compelling ARM netbook would scare them into ARM support.
I would be surprised if they didn't have something similar to the x86 apple builds in the powerPC era.
Of course windows is mainly valuable for its 3rd party software so people who buy these putative ARM/windows machines may be better off with linux anyway.
Freedom of speech requires we allow assholes to say offensive things.
Even the idiots who hate free speech should have the right to speak their moronic opinions;)
PS2 users are more likely to have a bigger library of games because they're are more of them, they are cheaper and there has been more time to accumulate them.
people with more time than money (esp kids) are relatively more likely to be PS2 users people with more money than time are relatively more likely to have newer consoles
this will be like PC vs Mac in the 90's
the open platform will attract more developers, more manufacturers and eventually more users.
the closed platform will be buried.
Atari sprites were implemented by displaying the contents of a section of memory as a bit map in a column down the screen. you moved the sprite horizontally by writing to an 8 bit register ( many memory mapped i.o. addresses - which cost a lot of the 64K ). vertically was accomplished by actually changing the contents of the memory - rotating the non-zero and eraser edge part of the column of memory.
everything ran off the TV vertical blank interrupt to rewrite the screen while it wasn't being drawn.
there was a horizontal interrupt as well but only a very few cycles available when every op took multiple ticks.
there was a collision detection register set as well to tell what had bumped into what.
I had no idea what I was doing , ( some Byte magazine De Re Atari by chris ??? ) but I had a lot of fun.
Flash is a block device, you need to copy it to 'real memory' for the processor to use it. There have been things like MRAM in labs for a while now that would give you what you describe. But flash wont.
I started out coding with that membrane keyboard, an assembler/editor cartridge and a cassette drive.
To this day I'm a two finger typist. I'm pretty clumsy with my hands anyway but I still blame the 400.
Code that only used SSE3 or some such on the basis of the CPU ID might explain it but conspiracy is more fun to believe.
Lies, Damn Lies and Benchmarks.
Bad backup choices as they both work best in a baseline capacity, generating some maximum sustainable amount of power. Burning stuff will probably always be the backup because then you have a reason to not use it a 100% of the time (fuel costs) and it is capable of relatively fast start up. The other back up process would be to have and store excess wind energy. Pressurized caverns, flywheels, capacitor banks, etc. whatever works,
2. Make it look like all the other code in our system
where I am the people that set the original, still used (*), coding style are 15+ years gone.
*some minor changes as we stopped formatting for 80 columns
And the pilots that run the USAF stil can't get behind the UAV revolution.
The meat becomes a fragile, expensive, heavy, low range liability in combat.
I worry about a sky filled with cheap UAVs expediting a taiwan strait crossing and leap frogging a meat boat USAF in technology.
On a more positive note I hope the US army keeps its own UAV group.
There must be a much smaller percentage of fat people in Japan than in the west.
That a government could even think about doing this would indicate that the fat people must be a very small and very despised minority.

MYSQL saves us a ton of money.
I learned 68000 assembler on a Atari 1040 later I remember having a C programming environment in a 400K ramdisk (sozobon?).
It ended up being used as a serial terminal on 386/486 unix systems when I started programming professionally.
This article may be the first time I've thought of it in a decade.
Ah, to be young and enthusiastic again.

Call Nick Fury at SHIELD, find out how big he wants his.

My old Atari 400, I still blame your membrane keyboard for my two finger typing.

you really are a clueless, self righteous, freedom hating moron.
It's a well know fact that all low slashdot IDs were resold to Astroturf Inc. years ago.
my bits will be much higher fidelity than other peoples! my zeros will be round and full and my ones will be straight and clean!
That's why everyone needs to be wearing government approved respirators and if you disagree then you love terrorists.
Two things
PS2 users are more likely to have a bigger library of games because they're are more of them, they are cheaper and there has been more time to accumulate them.
people with more time than money (esp kids) are relatively more likely to be PS2 users
people with more money than time are relatively more likely to have newer consoles
this doesn't seem like a strange result to me.

Easier and safer to steal fuel from a big truck or SUV
Also over time I expect far far more profitable than a mere 200$
