I think you're confusing a fraction of Israel's 10% Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, with the broader community of Jews. As far as I know, the behavior to which you're referring is abhorred by a majority of Israeli Jews.
But its been going on for decades with hardly any action from the government of Israel.
Google already have, what, two operating systems, if you count Chrome? WebOS is just a skin on linux, like android so I fail to see the advantage for them is doing that, unless WebOS starts to compete with android and they want to shut it down.
A proven ability to stiff your customers and keep their money will get you a nice corporate job, unfortunately. I lost a position in the company I work for because I went out of my way to ensure that the customer got what they paid for.
Companies get their correspondence hauled across web pages so much these days that potential customers see bad aspects to any approach they could take. A person who reads this thread could find themselves dealing with this same company in the future because it is at least the devil they know.
Yeah a thermosyphon, like the solar hot water system I used to own. IIRC one of the units in Japan could be cooled that way but they didn't use it for some reason.
I mean that inside your computer, if you wanted to do all that we do with gears and wheels and such like, you would need a lot more energy than we currently use pushing electrons around.
Well okay so that gets us to The Diamond Age if you assume it has to use moving parts. Maybe working Babbage machines would have brought forward the development of electronics.
Once that plant started to melt down any work on site was going to be long and dangerous. The only way to protect the local people was to move them away. So its pretty clear that the local area was not evacuated fast enough, but I don't see that using a different approach in the first few hours would have helped. That plant was gone and about to melt down. It was destroyed by a big earthquake and at least two big waves.
Babbage was working at the bleeding edge of the engineering of his time. Engines which have been built to his designs, and using the machining available to him, barely work. The long chains of gears frequently jam. There is just too much slack built into his systems. Its not his fault, just a natural consequence of the way engineering was done when he was alive.
Yeah I read the book but I reckon that scenario used too much energy, particularly once you started talking about GUIs and processors running at Ghz. We would have needed transistors then, just as we need photonic logic now to keep improving.

Well you've got all the answers...
Google can't afford facebook.
Ah thats where the name "java" came from.

Not sure where your link was going...
Local government should have you on the payroll.
You are pretty much guaranteed an earthquake there.
Oceans destroy artifacts on the scale of years. One year in the Atlantic is worth a billion years on the moon.

The decline in the quality of posts on Slashdot is socking.
See if you had your kindle handy you would have known put an h in there.
If they built an e-reader into a Wii there would be no need for day care.

Give me a couple of weeks. Its no big deal, really.

Proper cooling (which would have meant functioning ICs OR venting+water injection)
But how could authorities have done that, given that most of the gear at the reactor site was trashed?

So no, I don't think it could have gone far.

Firefox has better brand recognition than chrome. It might cost google more than $300 million per year to take all of firefox's market share.
I am an Australian so this is a sarcastic comment on Steve Job's version of English.
Its not that big of a deal.
Maybe regional differences are being reported as spelling errors. Desktop systems at my work use the French dictionary by default. Not much use to me.
