If they were ever smart enough to do a Good Thing â the world would support them because they are so well known. As much as I hate Microsoft personally if they changed, I'd be a pretty loyal guy. Everyone would. We could use true and open unified computing if done properly.
However, since we have that thing called history, and it can't be cleared like our browsers one, most people tend to believe that leopards don't change their spots.
I give it 6 years for Microsoft to evolve or die, really.
Not really spot on at all, the stuff that google is doing is actually a pretty good thing. Right now, they cannot display whole books.
With the settlement, you can read books in their entirety online instead of getting a "this is the maximum amount of views" bullshit a page or two into a book.
Try to read into the understanding of what is going on and not accepting that all viewpoints are factual. Same people rising up the anti google machine are behind the anti healthcare machine.
as the reply says, barbershops have an excess of hair that already goes to other philanthropic/charitable interests, so getting some is easier to come by than what you are almost positive of. Lets just say wig shops aren't exactly in a shortage.
Nobody is immune from their own instincts. CBT and other things can help people realize where they come from, but you're not going to *recognize* a marginal hormonal shift, for example.
I teach a class where part of the focus is your own instinct and how we apply psychology to others naturally. Specifically, a 2 day class mostly involving DISC. It's super rudimentary and there's always a luddite equivalent.
What's the reason people refuse the change? It's usually not the fear, that's why I say fear is natural. Fear of your life is natural. Fear to use a blue pen instead of a red one is not fear of change, it's egoism. That's where it all comes from. The concept of not just inertia of change, but that somewhere someone has some ego issue which is preventing them from trying things differently, be it a racial, cultural or familial reason.
The breaking of the instinct requires someone willing to accept that ego, as the first step, or the rest never happens. It's like the people who believe their own sales-speak.
There's a difference between fearing change and preventing it. One prevents growth and is an extreme, the other is natural. Of course clearly plenty of people don't know how to look beyond their own nose or recognize their own instincts.
networked storage is not cloud computing. That's just networked storage. Distributed computing is not cloud computing. It's just distributed computing.
Being bred to be slaughtered is not the same as being bred without survival instinct. All animals are bred to survive or else they'd not be born in the first place or even still exist as being cultivated.
if an animal doesn't derive survival instinct, it will inevitably kill itself in ways that we cannot even fathom. Ever heard of turkeys drowning themselves in the rain? Dogs ingesting things fatal to them such as antifreeze or gasoline? Same idea. Now take away the parts that they learn from, and suddenly you have some new issues.
What you are talking about with people enjoying things that are not positive is taking away cognitive dissonance. That is also usually known as free will. Don't like that? Go live in any dedicated communist area and I don't mean that in a threatening or fascist or "ignorant american" way, or go spend some time reading 1984.
your computer becomes a kindle, and all the apps on it, all of your own data, all of your storage, all of your privacy becomes the ebooks. That means they can be revoked, you don't own them, and you pay more than you used to for the same stuff people get for free/elsewhere. Oh and if their cloud (drm) servers go down, you have no access. Whoops.
What's your convenience? Hey, you got a kindle! whee!
It can also take the survival instincts out of animals, which is why people are concerned that this isn't a *good idea*, same as it would be for us humans.
Latency will affect people everywhere. 70 milliseconds is a *LONG TIME* for a remote activity, and is a reasonable number to try to achieve. Realistically people want 20 milliseconds and below for something like this, and that number will honestly not be achieved anywhere even in the US if you are not next door to your provider. 10 milliseconds per hop might not be unusual, but when you get 15 or 20 hops and some are longer and shorter, well, imagine where that goes. Not quite the 20MS latency people will need for this.
If you think people won't notice the latency, I challenge you to play a game on a 20ms response time monitor. It's a little different in concept, but not altogether.
Oh, no, I know they're basically putting a proprietary program on linux, which is a piece of garbage sold to corporations for it's forms of DRM/copy control. But I mean it's like right hand, left hand. I did understand that.
I have seen some employees (in small numbers, no doubt) that do contribute to open source for altruism such as for open office most notably. I do understand the business interest behind that.
I never meant they are pragmatic, but lobbying for patents does conflict with what they are doing, which was what I failed to express. However, I do agree with everything you say.
They actively employ people to use open source, and foster it's development, and yet they are supporting patents? Am I missing something in that general concept?
I mean what about employing people to support open office and lotus symphony and all that, which is all expressly supported by IBM?
You're still quite accurate. Anyone locked with ATT is about to get their chance to jump out, almost any month as long as you realize that clause and take advantage of it.
Umm? I remember someone telling me before that what you're talking is essentially carbon sequestering, and wouldn't do as much as people think.
Not so many trees are burned as you think, it has taken years but we don't have a "We're running out of forest" crisis that much anymore mostly because loggers plant their own trees.
That's what I wondered. Is a Clinostat truly something that can be considered accurate for comparison to space? Or is this akin to saying product x is close enough to product y?
From what I read, it doesn't seem to be equivalent to weightless space.
Slashdot Mirror
uh? it's not less alive, per-say, than a single celled amoeba or an atom. They didn't say sentient.

I think I read from the article that there's a way to set it for all existing files, although I think it's a total PITA method. More acronyms.
Maybe someone will (sadly), have to create an apple app/script that will do this every reboot, or something?
well, now I know how to win any lan party contests :)
Can you fold up an electronic bike and carry it with you? I doubt it (but I could be wrong).
networked storage is not cloud computing. That's just networked storage. Distributed computing is not cloud computing. It's just distributed computing.
see why cloud computing is an issue?

allow me to provide an analogy, it's like this:
your computer becomes a kindle, and all the apps on it, all of your own data, all of your storage, all of your privacy becomes the ebooks. That means they can be revoked, you don't own them, and you pay more than you used to for the same stuff people get for free/elsewhere.

I'm still all for planting more, though.
I'm a pretty strict Pastafarian, but you gnocchi is better.

I agree with what you just said. However, how does that apply to the Lori Drew case?
