So you agree that the 1940-44 occuptation was "liberating" France from its leadership (Led by Ms.Petain)? I know i will modded down, but i really mean this. French people in 1930s didn't like their Revolving Government. Doesn't mean that Hitler and Goebbels were liberators, were they? You, French, of all the people should know that taking foreign country's help to protest against your government leads nowehere. Protest internally against your government, burn books and underwear of your ministers, but please, please don't say or invite foreigners to help you fight against your own government. You dishonor the memories of those who lost their lives in the Revolution.
Sorry. I was pretty pissed off when Billionaire banks get OUR tax money and we end up cutting our head with a chainsaw... Plus Governments usually function this way: Throw enough money at problem.. like throwing gasoline at a fire. Of course at a certain pressure the volume of gasoline will be too large for the fire to continue burning and will flick out...
No you dumbass. That's how scientists think. Here's how we will *actually* there: Let's go over it one more time shall we? 1) Chinese space probe to mars discovers enormous deposits of Gold/Pure Gasoline/or some valuable shit 2) Chinese probe hacked by NSA, findings sent to Obama/Palin who decide to act on it. 3) NASA budget quadrupled, Congress told there would be riots in cities if Godless Chinese were to conquer the Final Frontier. 3.a Father jonathan, O'reilly and Rove talk about "bringing the rich to the People of the Free World and Defending Mars against enemies of Freedom." 4) Congress passes a law authorising use of necessary means to "Bring the Riches of Free Planet Mars to democratic nations of the World." 5) Senate vetoes the proposal stating that it lacks medical insurance for mine workers and their children. 6) Congress appropriates $152 billion to pay for Miners Medical Guarantee Plan. 7) Senate passes the law with 3:1 vote majority. McCain abstains stating it doesn't contain enough protection for PoWs. Ron Paul votes against it, stating "Until the Fed is abolished, real Gold Standard cannot be established even with HUGE martian reserves." 8) President signs the law.
9) NASA hires 31,000 new contractors on open bidding.

Try using the 64-bit version. Run it for 7 days and feel it slowing down regularly every 3 hours. Clockwork. On an AMD X2 64-bit 4200+ CPU. With Gnome. True it still is fast compared to 64-bit Vista (hell, AIX is faster than Vista), but this slowdown is clockwork and lasts for 2-3 mins max. No disk activity. memory spikes yes.
PowerPC architectire was based on economisation of movement. Like Judo. Intel is based on kickboxing. maximisation of movement. When Xcode compiles your code for PowerPC architecture it optimizes it for power savings, jumpings and lastly performance. With intel it is reverse. Check out the Rings too. Check out the decompiler output and if you want look it up in the IBM's original documentation of the 6088 processor. Am not a fanboy. I own both AMD PC and PowerPC iBook.
Yup. Imagine the outcry if this was Dell or HP (hell i can imagine people yelling for Carly Fiorina's throat...). The problem would be if MacBook does NOT play on Apple TV. That is when they will be trouble. Unfortunately for us, Apple is too good at integrating between devices of their own make. If this was Microsoft, am dead sure their hardware-based DRM would prevent me from playing on their PlaysForSure devices thus breaking everything. Apple is implementing DRM at an increased rate although successfully and less painful. It is like shaving [your face] with a the Sword of Narsil. Yup, if you are very very careful you can get a very clean shave sans any cream. BUT if you lose concentration for just a millisecond... Apple is going the corporate slavery way... It was a company of mavericks and had mavericks for customers. The Rebel Gang. Now they are just a kick-ass computer maker. There's a HUGE distinction. Earlier it was Apple or computer. Now its apple computer and alienware computer... Bad for Apple and bad for us...
Everything is a money risk. Paying $500 million to an investment bank's board so that they make us unemployed and make us lose our homes also. Paying $500 million to KBR makes our troops eat dirt and sand and snow. Paying $500 million to Blackstone group makes them break our bones and will. Paying $500 million to campaign funds of senators brings us Tube Stevens and Gonzales Everything is a money risk my friend. Everything...
Switch to AVG or kaspersky. AVG slows down your computer more than kaspersky and can detect more virus, but kaspersky is more proactive and can flag down non-anti-virus easier. And get the paid version. Support in kaspersky is phenomenal.
You have to show that Windows was categorically exploited more than other Operating Systems. To do that you'll need aggregate data.
Oh...sorry man. I don't have that data. Proving Windows was exploited MORE than other OS on same percentile (80% of Windows hacked, versus 80% of AIX hacked, both having different numbers of installs) is something i don't have and can't find because of agrregation numbers. Guess i misunderstood your earlier post...
It is ironical that Code Complete and Writing Solid Code, the BEST books on writing good code are published by Microsoft Press. It is more ironical that a company synonymous for the WORST quality software provides a free tool to fix the same... I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I use kaspersky, and will continue to use it...Free MS or not.
As long as campaign donations by outsiders are legal you will see more such laws that benefit those donors than universities or you. That is why you have multi-billion dollar bailouts, sucrose instead of sugar, and tax credits for oil companies. Congress critters and state senators care a rat's ass about your welfare or mine or even their constituency's. All they care about is MONEY and POWER. As long as RIAA, Walmart and Exxon feed their egos and feed them money you will see such stupid laws coming. Pretty soon it will be illegal to hum a song when its being played on radio. Disconnect donations from election funding. Make it state funded and see this go away. Unfortunately not even Obama who came roaring to power on people's $10 and $20 will be able to do this short because 99.9997% of the congress and senate is elected by these thieving corporations.
Read about "In the U.S., the general rule is that in "case of doubt, an offer is interpreted as inviting the offeree to accept either by promising to perform what the offer requests or by rendering the performance, as the offeree chooses" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlill_v._Carbolic_Smoke_Ball_Company/ And please, please know the law before opening your mouth anonymous coward.
An advertisement to sell something at a displayed price (it can also be reward for finding something), is an open offer. For that matter so is are contracts: An offer to do an [legal] action for consideration in return. You signify acceptance to that offer by paying the displayed value/doing a specific action. Once done, it becomes a contract. In this case, if Dell had debited your credit card for the said amount, then you have a contract and Dell is obligated to provide the same. If Dell had NOT debited your card, you STILL have a valid contract because you offered Dell the necessary money, but they refused to take cognizance of the same. The first action is close-and-shut case in a court. Dell would be ordered to fulfill the contract or face dissolution (if you force the court). The second would involve you proving that Dell deliberately welshed out of a contract.
A Public advt is an open offer that becomes a contract once accepted by the other party. Examples abound for it like when an Englishman offered BP400 for his wallet and then demurred when it was found by someone. The court ordered this joker to pay the amount as offered. A promise is not a contract unless its for money on demand. An offer becomes a contract on acceptance.
As per English Contract Law(which australia must be following), a publicly displayed advertisement for a product/service displaying a price for the same becomes a contract when it is accepted by anyone who pays for the same product/service to the advertiser. In short, Dell has signed a contract with each one of the paying customers to provide the advertised product at advertised price. If Dell fails to do so, it is in violation of the applicable contract law and as such the counter-party to the contract may sue Dell for violation and subsequent consequential damages. The fact that Dell claims it is a mistake is not relevant and is not the customers' responsibility. All a customer has to do is to swear in front of a magistrate or sign a letter thathe acted in "Good faith" that the advertisement was genuine. Dell Customers Australia: If you have placed the order, do NOT back out and accept a refund. Write to Dell to fulfill its contract and threaten it with a lawsuit. Am sure 200 lawsuits in 200 courts is not a small matter for Dell. The law is on your side for a change.
1) Communists supporting profit making enterprises [like Novell]. 2) The voters prefer the Socialist model of software: Free Software Foundation. 3) Communist Govt. bashes up the voters who support the socialiist model of software. Well, well, i have seen stranger things, but this takes the cake! I always knew communist governments were strange... but.. this is beyond just amazing.
No, they don't That's why this poor guy was not electrocuted or given a poison injection according to US DMCA. And that's why canadian banks are the strongest in the world.
All this noise about net neutrality, supporters and against'sers would not have come at all had AT&T CEO kept his trap shut that fateful day. By showing his greed for double-dipping and charging websites AND ISP consumers for directing traffic, he showed the face of corporate greed prematurely. This resulted in congress and Obama forcing ISPs to agree to neutrality. AT&T CEO must be cursing himself for opening his mouth that day...
Ahhhh No. They are scientists. No social skills (my next door friend works there). Plus they are answerable only to the government. So their website is just for show. Greatly skilled, but zero show off or showing off to own countrymen. You would think they would have a museum or something, but no...their security actually drives you out if you even venture there. Most indians dont worry or give a damn about these things. We have more mundane things to worry about: The price of Gas has NOT come down from its rate of $3/- a gallon even when prices have declined worldwide. Our treasury guys say this is to recoup losses they had earlier!!! Excusseee me! Since when was government run with profit in mind. So in next 4 months we have elections where we plan to vote out these bastards and vote in some right wing nuts. BTW we repealed our PATRIOT ACT 3 years ago, These right wing nuts will bring it back which we don;t want.
Hey! I still have my old 286 Big Box. Of course it weighs as much as 30 Kgs, but it still runs MS-Dos 6.2.2. Mens' rights?? Ohhh... sorry man. That's something we lost when we agreed to women's suffrage. The pre WW2 was the best for men. Dumbass hirohito and hitler had spoiled the party for us by enabling women to realize they have power over us. Add to that our politicians who jumped into the bandwagon and womens lib and pressure groups: you end up today where dumping your cheating GF is considered a felony, but getting a slap from one for questioning is considered fair...
Say to them corporate-speak: "We fear that your current entanglement with the City Hall would have a negative impact on our business goodwill as a reason for associating with you. Hence we would like to move our business to another Telco who would not impact our business goodwill." Goodwill is fungible. But it is also most sought. For instance being a supporter of Enron didn't do many corporates any good. Same goes with saying you are a supplier to KBR. Put your company's bottom line on the line and state to your board that associating with such a shady Telco would impact YOUR profits. Simple, the board suddenly will get the message and stop business with the Telco. Get a fresh MBA to support your analysis with numbers.
