It differentiates their brand. Re the design, they got fairly good marks for the actual output regulation, compared to most (but HP, kudos to us for that)
And give his Customer service guys in Amazon Payments a swift kick. I've been communicating fruitlessly for months trying to get my account unlocked. Anyone else? Anyone found a way to get through to them?
We'll stop pretending science isn't a religion, when we stop pretending scientists aren't human, with a human need for food and shelter, IOW a need for money. And at that point politics / religion comes into it, with their requests for studies / reports with predetermined outcomes. (this goes for both sides of the climate argument, IMO)
Hmm, give him a break, he wrote this in the late 60's... Wonder if anyone then was predicting 3d printers.
Yes, but however many or much taxes we pay, there's always more things to spend them on. And for that matter, governments are too willing to spend more than they take in (hello, deficit). That's ok in the short term, and more than ok when it is a big ticket item like roads that will hang around for years. And motorists pay more tax than cyclists (well, we do in Australia, by a significant amount)
Reading this made me think of Larry Niven's books set around organlegging -
Since the average citizens wished to extend their lives, the world government sought to increase the supply by using condemned criminals to supply the organ banks. When this failed to meet the demand, citizens would vote for the death penalty for more and more trivial crimes.

Also, where does most of the money come from to build and maintain roads? More from cars than from cyclists, right? Perhaps separate cycle roads is the answer, but who is paying for them? I don't think motorists will volunteer, unless they cycle a lot as well.
This is a clever ruse on Linus' part. The real issue, which he completely ignores, is the genuine threat to Linux provided by Microsoft's release of a free Windows 8.1 upgrade.
Even if he doesn't want to talk about it, at least publicly, I know he's amused.
If the site inherits its name from a dog, and the OS inherits its name from the site, then inheritance rules say the OS inherits from the dog:) OO analogy?
Virgin Australia sell these at about a 20AUD premium. And ask you at checkin if you are willing to assist with the door. (funny story is they mixed up kg and lbs - I don't believe the door is 45kg)
It's worth it. Free drinks. Wide seats, usually noone next to you. Fewer kids == quieter. Hostesses treat you like humans. Did I say free drinks? Free lounge access.
And in other news, a worker digs up the wrong pipe outside a LPG powerplant and gets blown into orbit. Radioactive water is fairly tame compared to that.
TFA is about the shrinking number of comparative advantages that human labor has. You're not competing against Walmart, you're competing against automation that won't leave you with any comparative advantages in the end. Become a pure capitalist because labor won't pay. Buy/build robots.
Better, make a self-replicating robot, I mean, who wants to keep making robots?:^) (there's an argument that we're a form of self replicating robot, hence the:^) )
When has there *ever* been a Libertarian administration? You can say Democrats and Republicans never learn from history, but Libertarians have never had a chance to learn. (and yes, I'm aware that Libertarianism is at right angles to LW/RW)

No doubt they want people to use their own product, Lync. Predatory behaviour, is it illegal?
Not sure why this got modded funny.
Of course the majority can't be wrong. :^)
So, no more distracting than me changing from glasses to optical prescription sunglasses whilst driving? (which I'd avoid)

No, but we get bored with it. (not of)
How does region locking do that?
It's the Romulans with the cloaking device, is it not?
You did collectively elect politicians who choose to do nothing about the NSA. So yes,we will continue to lump you into one category.

You know, when this grandmother died, I said that this kid could have been my son.
And good luck finding a country whose government does not tax. You probably won't find it offering rule of law either.

Looks like we need a re-write "Giraffes may gamble, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines" (yes, deliberate typo, what do you think??)

Leave and long service leave would bump me way over the 2k, long enough for unemployment insurance to have kicked in.
