We can. Look at all the food that is thrown away. Then there is the inefficient way of transferring calories by passing tit through animals first.
Then there is the enormous over consumption of the western world.
So I am sure if you look at how many calories we would need and how many we would be able to produce, it would be possible. To make the maximum amount of people possible, you would need to restrict consumption per person.
So more a question of 'do we want it'? The answer is probably no as it would mean to give up everything for the group. Not the best of human features.
Many people turn down the radio when they are looking for an address. The reason is because the radio is distracting. And that is not even active listening. It is passive listening. Yet it still is distracting.
IMEI blocking is available for many more versions and is also not implemented. Why would they implement it before? What would have been the incentive? It wouldn't increase sales. If anything, it would decrease sales.
Sure. It also makes a nice paper weight. But that does not mean people will be stealing them. Theft will not be down to 0, but it will be seriously lower.
You know the answer to that. The real question is when you are going to do something about it.
The think that is holding the people back is that it will not be a nice thing. Things will get worse before they get better.
I have no idea if this will go peacefully and a real peoples government will arise or if it will be like the French revolution with some blood or even bloodier. I do not even know if it will tear up the USofA into smaller parts and no idea when it will happen.
But look it history and you KNOW that sometime it will happen.
You do not have to be ashamed of voting for Obama. Perhaps you can be ashamed of voting. Who you vote for is irrelevant as long as you have a two party system. All they do is share the power you hand over.
It's a sad sad day when anti-technology trolls start arguing that handing over money in exchange for technology is not "selling".
If they sell me their phones, am I allowed to do with as I please? If they sell me their software, am I to do with as I please? If they sell me their computer files, am I to do with as I please? According to Apple, Microsoft, Sony and others the answer to that would be NO.
Another thing is the ease of installing programs. I use YaST or just go to http://software.opensuse.org/ and I have almost anything I would need. In very seldom cases I do `sudo rpm -Uvh http://example.com/program.rpm` and be done with it. I have nothing that I compile myself. Updates are done from one place that is already configured from the start.
When I do a new installation, all the software that I need is already there right at my fingertips in one location. If I want to be a noob, it works. If I want to be a ubergeek, I have the tools to do anything I desire.
And last, but certainly not least, I am in control. I decide what I want. If I do not like it, I change. I do not like KDE or GNOME, so I use XFCE. If I want, I can use something else. And all that available without really searching the web for it.
So for me 1997 has been the year of the Linux desktop. The sole thing that keeps it from becoming it for everybody is pre-instalation. Have it pre-installed and people will use it. They use Android. They use MacOS. Why? Because it is pre-installed. Many people do not even know what Windows is. They don't care. They have their computer and they click on Internet and they can send a mail to friends and family, play a game, watch Youtube, use Facebook and search for free porn.
This is not against Obama or Dems. This is against politicians, parents and generally people in power. Don't do something, while the person who are doing it are guilty of that themselves.
It is called: Do as I say, not as I do.
It is so abundant that it is most likely human nature.
Although obviously funny, there is a lot of truth in it.
Language is not the most straight forward way of communicating. Then there also is interpretations and expectations. e.g. "Does my ass look fat in this." requires an enormous amount of knowledge about many things. First there is gender. Is the person a male or a female. Then there is the knowledge if you are male or female.
Next there is the relationship and what you want from that relationship in the short and long term. So to understand what you must answer is not so much language, but social skills.
When it comes to social skills, language is easy. And we are not that great at social skills. Perhaps we are with some people, but not on a greater scale. Otherwise we would not try to kill each other over how we will be treated when we die.
I have read that people with (expensive) photo or film equipment place a fire pistol in their camera bag and report it as such. The reason is that they don't care about your multi-thousands dollar equipment, but they sure as hell will not want to loose that dangerous legal weapon.
They can survive just like any other non-dominate company. They could resize to moms basement size and just give support to grandma and her friends and survive.
The real question is if they WANT to do that.
Most likely at some point they rather sell then resize.
If you are interested, you do a google search and will find many, many better things that have been done and can be used as an example of what is possible.
What this lacks is something that is inspiring and easy for first level entry. This was absolutely not inspiring. If I would be interested in using a Pi, this article would put me off it.
Also: write for your public. This is/. This is not Facebook. People are ARE already technically inspired.
If I see an article like this on/. I think: If THIS is what the/. people think is news, then this must be the top of what is possible and if that is the case, I am not interested. talk about acluster out of Lego but this is nothing. This is: I bought a box and put the wires in it. They sell those at Ikea for 10 EUR.
We do not need to encourage people to enter ANY profession. They will come when they are needed. If they are the people who are discouraged by one article, you do not want them. You want people who come DESPITE the articles.

hacking them back is not the equivalent.
One is legal due to castle law. The other is illegal.
So you should have said:
If someone breaks into my house I can shoot them thanks to castle laws, there is no digital equivalent.
Many people turn down the radio when they are looking for an address. The reason is because the radio is distracting.
And that is not even active listening. It is passive listening. Yet it still is distracting.
That should be enough evidence.
Google glasses anybody?
And YOU should write. Do not let companies defend your rights, because they are not interested in them.
Do not say later: we didn't know.
Admissible probable cause? There was a crash. There was a phone. Done.
IMEI blocking is available for many more versions and is also not implemented.

It works in the rest of the world.
We are already able to block phones.

We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

A joke? A JOKE? Linus can be seen right here insulting my mom AND my hamster.
Seriously, if you did not get what he was talking about the first time, please hand over your geek card.
If they sell me their phones, am I allowed to do with as I please? If they sell me their software, am I to do with as I please? If they sell me their computer files, am I to do with as I please?

"Man bites dog" is news. Please come back when they tell the truth.
Same here. The last version I used was 95 and I sorta liked it. I started to use Linux, because I wanted to learn more by myself.
The main thing now is that I have 24 workspaces (6 on each of the 4 screens) and I do not use Xinerama (I want to switch them individually)
Not sure if this would be possible with http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.dexpot.de/index.php?id=home or others.
As it is not even easy to do under Linux (GNOME and KDE use Xinerama by default) I would not dare to try it.
Another thing is the ease of installing programs. I use YaST or just go to http://software.opensuse.org/ and I have almost anything I would need.

Please stop doing that. You just called my mother in law on my phone and I had to talk to her for almost 17 seconds.

They do not love the good creations. They love the money and by accident sometimes produce a good creation.
