No, when the 2600 came out, Atari made all games in house, and thought they could use the courts to prevent any 3rd party developers from making games for "their" system. Activision was formed from previous Atari employees, and the games they originally made were not endorsed in any way by Atari. In fact, Atari sued them to try to stop them. It was from that incident that the idea of licensing 3rd party software developers arose.
Microsoft and Apple simply didn't exist at the time, so that is an unfair comparison. Knowing that you want to be a fair person, I ask you this... What countries have Microsoft and Apple refused to do business with because of human rights violations?
Nothing the poster you are replying to is rationalizing anything. It does not comment on whether AGW is true or false. It only comments on the summary, and how the writer of the summary does a disservice to those who would try to make the case for AGW. The writer of the summary is accidentally arguing against AGW while trying to argue for it.
The fact that you started making unsubstantiated accusation in an attempt to defend a belief that was not being questioned makes you a part of the same problem. You give fodder to those that would argue against the existence of AGW in your poor attempt to bully people into taking your side.
There is no reason it couldn't. The browsers always work from local rendering. DOLS is in essence, a server wrapped as a plug in.
Of course, I was never speaking specifically of Silk. Just of the fact that offline web browsing of active content isn't impossible, and actually exists today.
This and it's child comments are completely wrong. The very first two words make all the rest moot. "Flash failed" is a false statement. In fact, Flash has been wildly successful. I would wager that there computers running Flash than Windows and OSX combined.
So, you would suggest that Java applets were the correct direction?
The idea of Java applets actually got a bad rap because Java was such a piece of crap at the time. I still remember being excited about Java applets at the time, and making a very basic applet as a first test. It was a canvas with an edit box on it. That was it. I ran it under 3 different browsers on the same machine, and every one of them rendered differently. Java has gotten better over the years, but half of Java's life the statement "Write Once, Run Anywhere" has been marketing speak for "Write Once, Modify for every other platform you want it to run on". This was perticularly bad when dealing with graphics. This is why Java was primarily relegated to the server. By the time Java got it's act together, Java applets had already been abandoned as a non-functioning technology and Flash had taken it's place.
Bingo. There was not a singe day of my child's life that he could write faster than he could type. Sure he is only 7, but his typing is increasing in speed faster than his writing. While the numbers don't seem to be authoritative, it seems that most people fall somewhere between 14 and 30 wpm for writing with a pen. At 20 wpm, my son is already as fast a typist as a good portion of the adult population is at writing. By the time he gets to 20 wpm writing, it is likely that he will already be typing faster than he will ever achieve with writing. I suspect that this would be true of most children if typing were considered the first form of input and writing was considered the secondary form.
Funny enough, my son has shown an interest in learning cursive, and has asked us to teach it to him. We are approaching it the same way that we would approach learning calligraphy. It is also interesting that he learned to read cursive shortly after learning to read print. From his point of view, it was just another font.
IBM Domino with DOLS enabled will do it. Sure it won't let you surf to new sites that you haven't visited before, but it will let you use an entire web based application while disconnected, and interact with the application as if connected. When you do connect, any data that was updated will synchronize with the server.
Seems to me that the people make the "Pen and Paper" the summary claims people are returning to don't carry legal liability for the occasions that they fail to function as designed. Do we also get to sue Bic when their pens leak?
Less sarcastically... Irrelevant to what a persons opinion is on global warming, the fact that a paper was written 150 years ago does not mean people have their heads in the sand. There were a lot of ridiculous papers written 150 years ago. It would be foolhardy for us to assume that because they are old, that they are true.
Which makes me suspicious. The can make a vaccine for the variant of Herpes (Chicken Pox) that has one outbreak, and that is the end of it, but they can't make a vaccine for the variant that has reoccurring outbreaks for the the persons entire life. For that variant, they can only come up with on going treatment to suppress the symptoms.
Yes, but when the all automated lawyer can initiate 1000's of lawsuits an hour against the $400/hr lawyer, the $400/hr lawyer is going to be able to review so few of the lawsuits that he might as well not be there.
What is baloney? That the pilot cannot step out of the plane during flight? I'm pretty sure the airline would be in pretty serious trouble if pilots start doing that in flight.
The fact that people can now move between the cockpit and the passenger area is exactly the situation that our security theater is supposed to prevent. There is no compelling reason that any of the "trusted" visitors that you name need to be passing back and forth between the cockpit and the passenger area while in flight. None. Zip. Zero.
The pilots are already sealed into the plane during flight. You can't just open a door and step outside as it is now. Denying the pilot access to the passenger area and passengers area to the pilot isn't some kind of suicide mission. If you put a bathroom in the cockpit, there is no reason the pilot should ever need to enter the passenger area.
Put a bathroom in the cockpit. It's a brand new plane, and an airplane toilet doesn't take that much room. The toilet isn't that big of a problem. If a hijacker already can't get to the cockpit, how do hijacking happen?
A good example is grocery stores. How many grocery stores do any food production? As far as I know, none. Some might have a bakery on site but they are still getting the parts from some other manufacturer. Grocery stores are definitely doing real work, and something worthwhile.
Does it have a separate exterior door for the pilots, so we can stop with the stupid "security" that is supposed to prevent another 9/11 style hijacking? At the very least does it have the lock for the interior door on the outside of the plane so that the cockpit can't be opened during flight?

The cassettes you are thinking of were "Starpath".

It also varies by nationality.

Funny. I see that behavior from both sides. I'm not sure which you are arguing for.

DOLS make IE and Firefox have that capability.

Are you seriously claiming that suspicion is a sign of ignorance? That has to be the stupidest thing I have heard all day.

Yeah, and Phrenology and Haruspex!

Funny enough, there are several solutions for this.
False dichotomy.

Well, sure, if there are no humans, there will no be AIDS in humans.
