Bingo! Damn right... it's just laziness. The author can't be bothered coming up with a proper subject line. If that's the case, just leave the default "Re:..." subject.
The logical extension to this argument is that as the cost of producing, distributing and accessing content approaches zero, increasingly the best content will get the most readership. Newscorp recently announced they are setting up paywalls across all their sites. When people have to pay for content to access it, it not only has to be the best content, but the best by a significant margin. I don't believe this is the case for Newscorp. They'll see a protracted decline unless they can remodel their business to embrace the spirit of the internet, rather than the kneejerk reactions we're seeing.
The hard drive manufacturers are using the units correctly. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
It's the units used in most operating systems that are inaccurate (although I've seen some Linux distros that use GiB, etc.). They use GB for numbers that are actually in GiB, and it is that difference that causes people distress. But no, it's the drive manufacturers fault! Perhaps they could make it clearer by labelling disks with both units... but let's not pretend they are being anything less than accurate in their labelling.
Putting their crapware on non-removable partitions and reducing the usable drive space, however, is another story!
That doesn't really match my experience. I've seen dozens of smashed iPhones, looking just like in the video below, but rarely see *any* other phone smashed like that.
A bit of turbulence and they'll all be on the floor... screens smashed. Apple stuff seems so fragile. If I had a dollar for every smashed iPhone I've seen...
I would have thought this kind of functionality would be provided through specialised mapping software on the navigator's console.

This database is a collection of images used to help identify and rescue victims of (kiddy-porn related) sexual abuse, NOT a website blacklist.
Also remember Oracle already "distributes MySQL as part of their Enterprise Linux offering".
It's all about product integration and market level. It will allow Oracle to more tightly integrate MySQL with its other software, giving clients greater choice and comfort when it comes to stability and support. Some (generally smaller) clients will prefer the lower price tag of MySQL, but would still like the same level of integration with other apps. Having MySQL as a tightly integrated and properly supported option will help sell other Oracle software!

As usual, US is behind it, and other western countries do whatever they say.
Absolutely! A lot of things are remedied by alcohol.
That's correct. 1GB = 1000MB
On the other hand, 1GiB = 1024MB
Are you getting them confused?

Your modders say "Funny". I say "Insightful".
Skyhook just flies an airplane over the target, with nothing to distinguish that spot from anywhere else on the flight path.
Except the frickin' balloon with lights on the cable! ;-)
The enemy just has to follow the balloon to get to the guy. Then the plane crew will be winching up a dead guy.

I think it's time the one-child policy went global.
OK, there may be worse, but admit it - this is pretty bad.
Sounds like the kind of 'private meetings' where large sums of money change hands.
Agreed. Nothing more than the deluded ravings of an Apple fanboi. Move along.
Oh yeah, we're *really peeved* our ancestors were sent to Australia. Please don't send us back there!
I believe it's the same person.

Next they'll be going after Nike!
But it is about 6.7m Brunei dollars, or New Zealand dollars... or Singapore dollars.

My god! Your hatred for and ignorance of Java is quite amusing.
Wow, your ignorance of Java is astonishing.
I think it's not only ignorance, but outright prejudice against Java. Look at her profile.

Don't worry... he wouldn't understand it.
