Remember that HP once was almost only known as a producer of measurement equipment. Then they went into the computing hardware business big time. They, too, needed the "next big thing". As much as I may despise Apple, from a corporate-strategical point of view such a move sounds like making a lot of sense for Apple.
I wholeheartedly concur. The above comments are almost all about density of information. And the beta, as good and hip as it may look, particularly and auspiciously sins in that domain. Density of information always was a hallmark of the/. GUI, and there is nothing bad about density of information. Do your homework once more, people.
I have a picture of Wally with one of his epic quotes for a gravatar. It suddenly appears on the Beta site. Did I ever ask for that, or give consent to/. to use that one ? No. Now I know, it would be silly to complain about/. using something that was *meant* to be used publicly. And yet - and yet.
A bunch of reporters in my home country decided to create a no-ad publishing site, where they publish their own in-depth investigation articles. They need € 60 / yr / reader to stay afloat. I happily donate to these aficionados of free speech. By wiring the money in from my bank account. I refuse to use credit cards on the internet, and refuse to pay for any pay-walled site. The free offers are vast and diverse enough.
One more reason for them to make jokes about Americans. KY, for cryin' out loud ! Seriously: this confirms so many biases that I can't even begin to count.
That has nothing to do with hate. That has everything to do with the US not being, anymore, the state that came to Europe's rescue more than half a century ago. Things change, get over it.
Does it not seem most unfitting for a state which, though pridening itself in its alleged openness and democratic nature, can only keep itself afloat by a debt-raising mechanism, and by printing money, as well as for a state where a substantial portion of its citizens live in deepest poverty ( not to speak of their virtual illiteracy ) to develop weapons no one ever asked for ?
"The free states [...] which had embraced the cause of Rome were rewarded with a nominal alliance, and insensibly sunk into real servitude."
( Gibbon, "History of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire" )
In spite of and in contradiction with the USA's touting democracy all over the earth, quite the contrary has happened, what with the lost wars in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. A mere shimmer of lustre, originating in an American Dream that was all but superficial rhetoric, managed to shine over Europe during the decades of the Cold War. But since 1989, two and a half decades of gradually worsening debt, surveillance and fear-mongering have opened the eyes of many in a Europe that was recently but a vassal: the US government is not to be trusted, and serving it is another form of perpetuating servitude. Of which, enough now.
Amen. I have been using Forte for Java, then Netbeans. In the mean time ( years, really ) I did one or the other odd project on Eclipse. No comparison in ergonomy and user-friendliness. Netbeans gives you the tools you need in obvious places; in Eclipse, you must either search for the tool, or you have dozens of them lying around when you really need only one. Eclipse = usability hell.
In these times, yes. I would surely call a long-time friend to reason if he took, or turned out to have taken, a "secret" job with the US government. And if he would not take heed of my arraignments, I would end the friendship. There is a time to plant, and there is a time to uproot, says some 2500-year old wisdom.

running Xfce. That.
Mathematical truths are not "discovered". Believing so is the purest platonism. Mathematical truths are constructed.
1) DHCP 2) silent adoption of IPv6, especially in China 3) NAT

I mean hey, design for security *does* exist, after all.
Damn.
under the office of my boss ? where can I order one ?
the world will not be the same again. Cheap energy, without CO2 pollution. Wow.
Credit cards have had PINs here in Europe since the very fucking beginning. And you can't fucking spell. The plural of PIN is PINs, not PIN's.
Have been common here in Europe for ... what ? The last 30 years ?

...of another great line of hardware ( albeit expensive ). What a shame.

1999 called. They want their browser war back, but they'll settle for a httpd war.

Instead of reviling me without argument, rather rebuke me with reason. In the absence of which I stand my ground, albeit insulted.

You've got the wrong friends. So do they.
