the NDAA (National defence authorisation act) is a United States federal law specifying the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense. So do you have a better Idea how to specify the budget and expenditures of the us DOD? The NDAA has been signed every year my many presidents. So we should not pay for defence?
I dunno, I think the problem is a Rick Santorum's Problem. It's because of Rick Santorum's obsession with gay people and banning gay sex. Maybe Rick Santorum should get off his soap box. And since Rick Santorum is against gay marriage obviously those people are going to be active against him along with others that fear is rise to power.
It looks like the trolls are flooding slashdot lately. Microsoft PR department is a powerful beast and they pay these trolls to spread misinformation on blogs and the like.
Hey troll moron, Microsoft is a despicable patent troll They are running an extortion campaign right now against any successful open source product in an attempt to push Linux and Open Source out of the marketplace. Fuckem I will NEVER purchase another Microsoft product and will do everything in my power to dissuade people from purchasing Microsoft products. They are despicable slime and your defence of their anticompetitive practices in the marketplace is a pathetic attempt at best.
Ok you got me.... Tell me more. Pig bladder anyone? BTW what's the latest on regenerative therapy? I remember a while back some guy got his finger tip chopped off by a model plane prop and some pig bladder (Extracellular Matrix something) allowed his finger tip to grow back.
Fact is that Samsung created a tablet that looks very similar to an iPad, and that similarity was intentional. Other tablets do _not_ look that similar. And it is obvious that Apple doesn't like it. Whether Apple has a case legally or not doesn't matter that much; the message sent is "if you try to sell devices that we think are copying our devices then you'll end up in court, and we make it as inconvenient as possible for you". There are plenty of other devices where Apple could have sued over the same patents, but they don't because the _reason_ for suing is not the patents, but the similarity of the product design.
As far as "Other tablets do _not_ look that similar" goes Apple would beg to differ.
Yes apple is anti-competitive in the fact that they will drag you into court over trivial similarities. They took the very common flat slate concept and filed a patent on it. One thing they are very good at is using the ideas and concepts of others and claiming them as their own while convincing the faithful that it was all their idea. Prior art be damned. Keep swallowing the talking points of Apple's PR dept. though don't let the facts get in the way.
So isn't search a "cloud service"? Isn't slashdot a "cloud service" What about Wikipedia? So you still run Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia? What desktop software do you "rely on" for Internet searches? How do you easily collaborate with people on a spreadsheet from different parts of the world who are using different platforms from with in a desktop version of Microsoft Office? What about defunct versions of Microsoft products that have left people's data stuck in a no longer supported proprietary format? What's the difference between paying a subscription to desktop software that can go away at any point it the future or a subscription to a "cloud service" that can go away in the future?
Hollywood and the Music Industry has been at war with the tech industry for decades. They and experts at lobbying both sides of the aisle in the corrupt house and senate. I quit purchasing, renting their content and stopped going to the movie theatre because of their blatant purchasing of legislation and their draconian attitude towards their customers. If using your content makes me a potential criminal in your eyes then I don't want your content. I only watch what's on TV now. The time I used to spend listening to music and watching movies is now spent online.
Obviously conventional avenues of effecting change are a waste of time;
That depends on what the obvious conventional avenues are. From what I see current conventional avenues for affecting change is purchasing legislation from corrupt congress and senate. So if you really want to effect change you do what the MPAA/RIAA/BSA and other lobby groups do. You pay for legislation. Now whether the multitudes want to band together to lobby congress on the digital rights of the people rather than big media is another story altogether. I try to give to The EFF when I can but that is not enough unfortunately.:( Even Slashdot.. I would bet probably only 5-10 % of readers care enough about this issue to support groups like the EFF. Let alone get organized enough to effect change. I wonder what ratio of Slashdotters income goes to the above mentioned groups that lobby against their digital rights rather than for them.
You forgot one little detail there. Apple music sued Apple for stealing their name.
So Apple Music was not amused by that "homage" cock and bull story from Dear Leader Steve.
Actually for Windows MSE works pretty decent compared to the others with seeming less resource usage. Didn't they purchase that technology from someone else? I can't remember. However TechGuys is a known paid shill. At this point I don't even know why he bothers. The problem with this new filesystem is that it features very poor interoperability with non Microsoft products leaving your data at the mercy of Microsoft even worse than before. Now-a-days you can boot up Windows computer with a Linux live CD and rescue your files when windows is borked. That won't happen now. Microsort is doing everything in their power to break interoperability with open source and competing operating systems.
Actually the upgrade will be to a PPRE 4rotor once the funds are available. The current vehicle a 1st gen Rx-7. What I like about the 12A is the better reliability in our experience. And while a 13B will make more power its marginal. The extra power from a 13B is not worth the extra issues you get with apex seals. A 20B wasn't an option when the project was originally started a decade ago. It was way too expensive at the time. This 12A has simply a large street port and the housings are pinned. After market seals and thats about it. All of the rest of money goes into the turbo, induction/electronics and drivetrain and that will be expensive regardless of what engine is in it.
Why do people keep buying their crappy content? Stop buying their products and they will not have the type of power they have now to OWN governments all around the world. This crazyness has to stop. When the Internet was just starting to get popular these were the same people that were trying to find ways to kill it. I for one will not purchase,rent, or go to the movie theatre anymore to consume any of their content. When you keep consuming their products they take your money to go buy laws that work against you. in effect people are part of the problem. Vote with your wallet.
You can make a gene gun with a pellet gun or something like a 22cal nail gun. And the documentary I posted in my previous post describes how it is used.

More and more things are becoming that way. like it or not.

I do see your point. It's a tough thing to innovate while maintaining familiarity.
Maybe not but they can blossom
I dunno but if i can pop open the dash and type email file.txt user@host.tld and other things like that I would use it alot.

according to an episode of Mythbusters sugar does not work. Bleach on the other hand....
Given that Dear Leader Steve said that "good artists copy great artists steal" Given that the Ipad "shamelessly copied" this device and this device

I'll wager it's Bonch.
Bonch? Is that you? It's hard to keep up with your many /. accounts.
