I don't know what mother you're buying, but my 4 year old Asus P5K-E mother board does not have a parallel or serial port. This is fairly normal these days.
From the first page, last paragraph of your linked article.
This board also doesn’t have parallel and serial ports, although one serial port is available through an I/O bracket that doesn’t come with the product.
Parallel is getting hard to find though (not that I'm looking for it).
Get your facts straight. Fossil fuels are never subsidized, but instead heavily taxed by the governments.
They are both, subsidized AND taxed. Not everywhere in the same way, though. Did you know the UK subsidizes oil extraction in the north sea? The reason is of course cronyism and corruption.
Corporations are subsidized while citizens are taxed.
This is partly your fault for trusting a company called OCZ with a brand new controller (SandForce) that was only apparently optimized for speed. Be a little conservative and it'll pay off. I'm a happy owner of a WD Sliconedge Blue branded drive in a gaming box and I've been very happy with it. It's no speed demon but it works well.
Not sure what SSD came with my imac but needless to say that works fine as well.
And by the way, IT changes fast in general, no developer can honestly expect to code in the same language from college to retirement. HTML5 - and the languages that you actually write code in like JQuery - are in an extreme prototype state right now, going to change radically several times in the next years before people figure out that they completely screwed up some important paradigms and start parts of the standard from scratch for HTML6. Everyone will have to keep relearning their languages if they want to stay current.
WTF, jquery is not in prototype stage. Prototype is another javascript framework;).
I agree with this in general.
For anyone with an iphone, the new HTML5 version of the FT.com (financial times) app is very very good. It is better than the old iphone app, and I imagine they can use the HTML5 version across iOS/Android/Blackberry.
Amazingly that behaviour is CCA running correctly. IT can set parameters as to the list of allowed programs. Usually they offer their corporate AV suite for home which is on the CCA approved list for me. I tried running it but it fucked up my Win7 machine and made it laggy.
Went back to using a mac which didn't need CCA. Linux used to be able to connect without CCA too but then IT changed their VPN to some Cisco Java monstrosity (rather than the old Linux module) and I couldn't connect any longer.
Nothing is wrong with LTS for servers. Our five servers have been absolutely fantastic running 8.04 LTS and 6.06 LTS in the past. And I second your opinion about better packages than RHEL/Centos.
You know, while you are technically correct, timeOday has a good point. My old Linux laptop (Toshiba R200 Pentium 733 Mhz) worked almost perfectly with Debian or Ubuntu. Even the little custom buttons worked. However, hibernate didn't work. Well it did if disabled wireless, but the module loading when waking from hibernate always killed the wireless. I'm sure things have gotten better but OSX is just better as far as power management is concerned.
Look at Macbooks when loaded with Windows or Linux vs OSX. OSX works very well with PM. I won't bother mentioning the PM regression in the newest kernel. Fucking Linus and his I don't need a stable tree bullshit.
We're not talking about these apps which were native apps and not web apps.
Yes, that's exactly what we are talking about. The whole point of the article is that if these services now want to be on the iPhone, etc without paying that cut to Apple they will need to create a web app, and when they attempt to integrate them seamlessly using Apple's recommended method, they will run more slowly for no apparent reason.
No dumbass we're not. Subscription services now HAVE to offer in app purchase as well as web store purchases at the same price. There is no reason to force them to be slower when using a web store.
The idea of landing a big number of first-time customers sounds great until the customers start coming in. From the experiences of business owners I know, Grouponers were, simply put, cheap (not condemning cheap people here, as the times demand it for many.) If the groupon is "get $50 for $25," you better damn be sure most customers will spend the $50 and not a penny more. And if it's a restaurant, they'll tip on the $25.
What??? Who the fuck are these assholes? I sure as hell have never done that (I just used a groupon at a restaurant yesterday and tipped on the full amount... maybe I'm just an outlier?).
I think we often hear the worst case scenarios anecdotally. None of my friends that use groupons would do that either. I still doubt groupon is a big plus for most businesses or worth a lot of money. It is an easy business to break into.
Egypt is somewhat progressive for a muslim state, but that's not saying much. That said, make sure you don't confuse America friendly with progressive. The two do not go hand in hand, at least in the muslim world.
That said, Egypt has a decent sized Christian minority (15%) that I think does OK which again is rare for a muslim state
I would like to second this opinion. I have a work provided box running Ubuntu 10.04 and personal imac. I am not bring in viruses or ruining the corporate network. Leave me alone and let me work.
I don't want to run the work XP image with McAfee and 1 GB RAM. Its worthless. I hope my next job also affords me some flexibility.
to absolve certain groups who have been violently expressing their distaste of government for an extended period of time from what is an obvious result of that rhetoric, represents a strange way to think about how the world and human nature works
My thoughts exactly. To be honest, until the recent update flickr was at risk of losing the leadership as well. It hadn't been updated in 3 years, but now it has all ajaxy goodness. All the non-techie people I know that like photography still prefer flickr.
No you're wrong. For a primarily mouse and keyboard (primarily) gamer like me, the "precise control of a d-pad" is inadequate. Yet the vast majority of people game with a Dpads and are happy. Games for DPads are designed for auto-aim and loose control. Similar will happen with the move to touch screen games. Sure there will be dpad games for the hard core, but the majority will play touchscreen games on the go.
At the end of the day the cheap and fun aspect of mobile games like Angry Birds and PvZ will win people over.
He is talking about the trade (current account) deficit when talking about the indebtedness to china. In that context, he is generally correct. In the fact that the federal deficit is partially funded by china, you are largely correct.
Of course both yours and his numbers are more a reflection of the economic climate that Obama inherited rather than anything particular done by the administration.
Slashdot Mirror
you look at a SGS and the F700 they are almost identical.
Here is a good comparison of the F700, SGS, and iphone 3G that proves your statement false

I find myself more supportive of trade dress (since copying is meant to confuse the public) and far less so of software patents.

But is Amazon in California or not? Newegg.com customers pay taxes if they are in the state. Why should Amazon be any different.
Can't believe you are so ignorant that you don't know what Nature is.....

Haven't had any bad leaks, but it seems a lot more jittery on Windows 7 than 3.6. It is slightly better on OSX than 3.6. Driving me nuts tbh.
Sound familiar? I don't own a tablet fwiw

Hasn't Eric Schmidt done the same at Google?
http://spectrum.ieee.org/podcast/telecom/security/how-stuxnet-is-rewriting-the-cyberterrorism-playbook has a good overview published a month ago.
