I try to simplify my examples, but basicaly you must check the Muhammads... plus some random obviously NON-Muhammads as a deterrent - it is not so easy for the Islamic "Peace Corp" to find a white blond Adolf that will try to make connection with his 72 virgins in an airplane (that is the main reason for the existance of TSA - not to prevent Adolf from killing a passenger because he disagreed with the winner of the Eurovision music contest...)
Never underestimate the power of a few million dollars (or other pressure that's brought to bear) to break a profile that's so easy to spot. That's beyond the fact that there are plenty of blond blue-eyed muslims out there to break your profile on its own. Even Malcolm X attested to that.
I still remember landing and seeing family at the gate. Walk with them to baggage claim and pick up your stuff and off you go. For that matter, going to the gate with family and just enjoying company while you wait for your flight.
When you have limited human and/or other resources you don't check a white woman's child just because... you know why (!)... you check Muhammad (plus his wife, and their children).
When you're a terrorist and you see the TSA feeling up Muhammad and his wife and children because of how they look, you naturally find a Robert who won't be searched because he doesn't look like Muhammad or his family.
What then? You'll start feeling up Muhammad and Robert and their families? What about David?
What about Elias who belongs to a completely different group and has a completely different mission than destroying a plane or building? Say he just wants to assassinate a specific passenger.
Consider how the language has changed from Shakespearean times to now. It's taken about 400 years for the language to evolve to the point where it's practically a different language altogether. The change happened slowly in every aspect including constructs and vocabulary. I'd imagine instead of creating a language from scratch, adjusting English by slowly introducing artificial constructs and vocabulary would be the way to go. Not sure if it will remain anything more than a niche dialect of English but it's worth a try.
I'm not sure that's needed really. Projects like FreeDOS and the like seem to be fine on their own. The DOS 2.0 source code is more of a curiosity, nothing more.
The perception of Apple customers has been that they're typically left of center. Apple haters fired the "your iphone is made in a sweatshop" volley (legitimately, I might add) because of this perception of Apple's customers and an attempt at shaming them. Apple responded by enforcing ever stricter standards of minimum working conditions on all their suppliers, thus safeguarding the customer base. Continuing along the same lines and in service of safeguarding their customer base, Apple started moving towards green energy also because that's yet another selling point to keep their customers hooked. It's also the reason why in every product launch, the greenness of the product is a feature touted alongside its technical merits.
Customers give Apple money in exchange for Apple products. That's how Apple became valuable enough to have so many shareholders. Take away the customers and you're holding a shell. The customers *want* a company that is at least a little altruistic because it makes the customers feel good about themselves.
If shareholders treat Apple like the goose that laid golden eggs, they'll suffer the same fate when they try to distil the company to the essence they (wrongly) perceive it to be.
...we'll destroy what it means to be free.

Publishing headlines such as these typically get reactions that range from "Hell, no! We're still pirating up in dis!" to "I knew it! It's the pirate kiddies who're to blame for music industry losses". Does anyone ever wonder whether publishing numbers like these could be, for the RIAA and associates, a graceful way out of the anti-piracy business? As long as they can indicate that they have made an impact on the P2P music piracy going on they can then look the other way while reaping the word-of-mouth publicity benefits (and others) of this same P2P music piracy.
Do you think they've learned from their ongoing 10 year old battle with the P2P industry?
And by code commenting skills AC doesn't mean add a comment for each line of code. In my experience good commenting would be to add a brief comment for each block of code. If you've written a particularly obscure one-liner or something that might also deserve a quote and perhaps a reference of where you picked it up but that should be rare: I hope you're writing functional and legible code before you start optimizing it.
Google's last foray into all-inclusive communications (Voice) resulted in lots of voicemails being made publicly searchable. I wonder if the same fate awaits all your documents. It hasn't happened for the documents that exist already on Google docs but what of the ones that are not created by Google docs and don't have the same rights data associated with them?
doesn't necessarily mean you should. This might just be a case of that. What's the usability of OSX on this? For that matter what about the resource hungry Vista and 7? XP was probably as far as it needed to go. That and perhaps Linux.
I've been using Ubuntu since 8.04 and have always upgraded using the "Upgrade" button without any issues. Upgrading to Karmic Koala was just as simple. I'm sure there's some crud left over from Jaunty but I did run apt-get autoremove so most of that should be gone.

Aww yiss! My latest purchase included so many carbon atoms I didn't know what to do with them!

Specifically it would seem the north pole.
Lines of longitude and latitude converge into triangles at the poles. Just a guess.

is this even news?
The optimus tactus shows the keyboard playing back video- which IMO, although cool, misses the point. A keyboard is, after all, an *input* device!
While this is true, there's no reason that future input paradigms will conform to the ones you're used to.
So kind of like the optimus tactus? http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus-tactus/
For me, the words "four square" conjure up some bad memories for me.
For lack of a better description, it basically broke my penis.
So... is this a good time to ask you to return your Man card?
