I am assuming that you use "software industry" where you mean "Closed Source Software" as the software industry includes a lot of OSS software and even companies.
In my view the software industry should start lobbying individual countries to declare OSS invalid and fair game for incorporation into any product.
If that works two ways, then I am with you. If OSS can use the software protected under licences of Closed SOurce, it would be great. It would mean that there is NO copyright on software. Not from the industry and not from the OSS front.
Otherwise you are a hypocrite for doing the "I am against the use of this tool but I find it useful and so can use it in my fight" reasoning.
I could easily say: In my view the OSS community should start lobbying individual countries to declare Closed Source invalid and fair game for incorporation into any product. See, it works both ways.
The only difference is however that OSS asks to have the source open and CSS asks to have the source, well, closed. I rather have the second then the first.
With Closed Source, everybody stands on the bottom of the pool and everybody drowns. With Open Source, you can stand on the shoulder of giants.
Depends on how they are connected. Multiple screens is not something that is really new.
I have connected 3 screens to my computer and am thinking of adding a 4th one. The fact that they are touch screens is not as important as the ability to go to them and use mouse and/or keyboard.
Having the ability to run a `tail -f` on one of the screens, a program launcher in the second and mplayer in the third is something I would love to have on a portable.
Just select an icon in the smaller screen and the program launches in the larger one. I want one.
Imagine I wrote a book. That book was made in 1.000 copies and is not on the market anymore. I am the copyright holder and want to keep it that way for whatever reason. That is what copyright is about.
Now Google comes and suddenly has the right to re-produce it.
Now obviously you can start disagreeing about the copyright (and especially the duration). The fact is that I now have a copyright and Google takes away those rights.
I once reported child porn so it could be removed and needed to get to the police office to explain a LOT and the police investigating threatened me with several lawsuits. Obviously I never have found anything anymore to report.
If it doesn't need training, how does it define "terroristic activity"?
It works just like a human, so if you have a slightly darker skin color, you are a terrorist. If you buy a ski-mask, you are a terrorist. If you have a weapon, you are a terrorist. If you look around a lot your are a terrorist. If you leave a mosque, you are a terrorist. If you ever where in another country, you are a terrorist. If you talk to somebody who was marked as a terrorist, you are a terrorist. You are a terrorist.
He will be so happy when he finally has time for the kids when he is at home and everything goes dead slow or not at all. Or when he is at a business partner where his PC does not have access to the internet. He will be grateful for all his free time that he will be sure you get plenty of it as well.
What if I recorded my own music and want to play that? Or any other legaly downloaded free music (or speech or whatever.) Most likely it will say something like: Unknown, so OK to play. That would mean that suddenly ALL the music will get such a signal.
Either that or they will only allow cellphones to play OK downloaded songs. That would mean that people will find another solution. Can you say mp3 player?
I have this happen with one intranet site that stops working. Closing IE (The site only works with IE) and re-opening it makes the site work again. Obviously it also closes all other sites that are open.
The sad thing is that each time this happens people tell me that they have an issue and each time I tell them to close and open IE. Many just log out and do not seem to know what 'closing the browser' means. Mmm. Perhaps I should stop saying 'close the browser' but use 'close the internet' instead.
Since when was opt-out a good alternative to opt-in. And since when does the Berne convention does not apply anymore. And if the Berne convention does not apply anymore, why can I still be convicted for whatever if I copy something?
Oh yeah, because Google is a big company and am just some poor schmuck. Companies are above the law. People are guilty.
The do-no-evil can still be true by changing the law. Neat.
What was actually said: Hey it seems that this Turing gay, uh, guy, made it possible to do all the snooping on our citizens. We are now able to store AND process all this data about everybody as Orwell intended it to be. Thanks Turing. You were not that bad after all.
If Symantec sold a good cheap shredder, or sold carry-to-table card readers to restaurants, then I'd give a fuck.
I used to work in a restaurant and we had a carry-to-table card reader. One of the waiters still was able to do a double swipe with many of them. Took about a month before we realized he was doing it.
My idiotic boss decided not to press charges against the thieving bastard and just cut his losses and pay the customers back. Idiots. Both of them.
I like that. Each time I see a person filming with a video camera, I have him or her arrested.
Each time I see a news network broadcast a multitude of people shouting (like at a concert or during a demonstration) I can sue them. I am sure almost nobody and certainly not all will have given consent.
Actually it has a mortality rate that is lower then others. Where other flues generally target the very young and very old, this one targets the healthy ones in between.
So while those in their 20ties and 30ties will become ill, they are also stronger and will survive or have a higher survival rate then young kids and old people. Also each year 500.000 deaths are cause by influenza. Wiki links.
So sorry that I am not yet joining the panic. To me this is just a yearly flue I might get or I might not get. I even might get very unfortunate and die from it. Such is life. Please stop to try and save each and every live. It is not possible and trying makes life unlivable.
The big issue of having a lot of people ill in the demographic that is targeted now is that economy will suffer. So instead of personal loss of family, companies will have financial loss. Staff unable to come in. Staff staying home to look after sick family members and customers to sick to buy something.
So stay healthy and let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy. And be happy.
I can only talk about openSUSE as that is what I know best. I assume the same will be available in some sort on other distributions.
The big difference with Add/Remove and the way Linux works is that Linux distributions work with Repositories. e.g. if I want to install slrn, I go to http://software.opensuse.org/search and do the search there and click on "One-Click Install". That will add the needed repositories if they are not yet available.
If I want to remove a program, I go to the openSUSE version of Add/Remove, look up the program I want to remove and remove it.
I would tink that the majority of people won't use something else, even if there are advantages, because in the first place they won't be installing and de-installing programs as much, secondly they are not botherd if stuff stays behind after an uninstal and why would they? They install a program and that works. They remove it and very often that works as well from their point of view. The program is not there anymore.
A bit like files that are placed in e.g. ~/ on Linux after the first time a program ran. Most people will want to remove a program and not bring back the HD to the same state it was before. If that would be my goal, I would work with something like VMware.
Obviously some people will want it that way and apparently enough to make a program for it that you use.

Luckily we know that Google still has the information. So perhaps Google can be so nice to give the Gmail user a new account AND his old data back.
You are a great teacher. You taught me something: I just learned how to get a C so I can get by.

There are other ones like this one or even the inside of one like here

Or when he is at a business partner where his PC does not have access to the internet. He will be grateful for all his free time that he will be sure you get plenty of it as well.
Perhaps Netscape 1.0 is of more interest.
I am sure that a lot of married people would be interested as well to get away for 8 months.

Did the previous risk models fail? Well then OBVIOUSLY the previous model was were wrong risk model and not complex enough.

They did and that was the reason it took about a month.

On your desk.
People declaring themselves sick is also a very flawed system, especially as we get payed when we are sick. Nobody would come in on Monday and Friday.
In Belgium I must go to a doctor to get a notice I am ill. Otherwise I will be absent without leave and can get fired on the spot.
I am glad that you are so politically correct as not to exclude 50% of the population.
