No, it wouldn't. The car being discussed was a MAGIC car. That was the point of the movie. MAGIC cars are extremely stable with short wheelbases, and go as fast as is necessary to MAGICALLY win the race.
What are you talking about?!?!?! Clearly you are trying to not understand. If a web browser requires a warning, then the warning should happen for EVERY browser the first time you have access to it. For Opera, that is at download. For Safari, that is when you first boot the device.
So, does that mean that a RHN subscriber needs to diff the code to make a release that is everything that hasn't been changed, and then a clean room group needs to diff everything that isn't a patch with the full source released by Redhat to get the patches without them being distributed by the RHN user?
Parents are allowed to not give their kids the ability to install software. Thus honoring a more fundamental and more effective Parental Control of the device. Safari does NOT honor parental controls. Even with the Parental controls set, Safari will still serve up porn that is not only going to be offensive to most parents, but is actually illegal in most parts of the world, and all of the US.
Either way, when the iOS device is first turned on, it has access to all of the same sites Opera. Claiming that one browser needs a warning and the other doesn't when they both come with access to the exact same content by default is disingenuous. If the iOS device required the user to choose the parental controls setting at the time it is first used, then they have given warning. If they don't, they are no different than Opera on a standard install.
No, it just means that the warning should happen on activation of the device. The parental controls also don't interfere with the download of porn. It is most certainly one sided.
Does Apple make the 17+ warning when setting up the device? I have set up one Mac, and one iPod in the last two years, and don't recall being warned that the OS had a 17+ rating. Certainly, if the claim that the warning on Opera is to protect the children, and warn parents during setup, and the rational for not giving the warning on Safari is that it is preinstalled, then the warning should be issued at setup of the OS.
Any claim that the Parental Controls have any impact on the ability of the software to deliver porn is bizarre at best.
I get free minutes all the time. Just a flat monthly rate. As for early adopters being subsidised by casual users, I think you have it backwards. It is the early adopters that are doing the subsidizing. Most of the subsidizing was done early on when the casual users didn't even have a connection. The early adopters paid to get the whole system up and running. Now, early adopters are the ones that are paying for the higher bandwidth connections. Every ISP I know of has multiple tiers of service. I pay more because I want to go faster. Others pay even more than I do. Guess what? When you decide to stream Netflix and Hulu, you will be able to do it because the early adopters paid to get the system up to a level that you can do it.
The complain of heavy usage is not new. I had the same argument with my father years ago when he complained that people viewing pictures on web sites were bandwidth hogs. I don't know a single user that would not fit the 'bandwidth hog' definition of 10 years ago.
Neither the computer nor the company that makes it cares what race the guy is. Do you think that the computer has developed an interest in human racial groups? Do you think that some engineer or manager in HP went out of their way to build this in as a feature? Of course not. In fact, it is safe to say that everyone involved with the manufacture of that product would have been delighted if it had worked for not only that guy, but for every single person of African decent on the planet. They would be even happier if not only did it work for them, but each and every one of them bought one of those machines, and they could begin a life long business relationship with them. Hence, all evidence points to the fact that on HP's side of things, race played no role in their actions, and was never a consideration.
This means that their was no racism on HP's part.
On the other hand, this man made it clear that for him, it WAS all about race. He was making deragatory accusations concerning race even though any reasonable person would conclude that race was not a consideration. The only person that race was a concern for was the man in the video, and the whole point of the video was to declare it.
As is very commonly pointed out here on Slashdot, "correlation does not imply causation". There is likely a correlation between being of African decent, and the face tracking not working. That doesn't not mean the persons race is in any way a deciding factor. Any reasonable person could conclude that it was the shade of his skin that prevented the camera from locking on. Any person who has spent any time around other people of various races knows that there are plenty of people of African decent who's skin is lighter than many Caucasians, and thus the camera is likely to work just fine for plenty of people that are of the same race as the man.
And the damage to the company should include punishment all the way up to the death penalty (lose their charter) and imprisonment (required to shutter their doors). Yes, people would lose their jobs. Yes, it would financially devastate the business. That is the same thing that happens when a real person is imprisoned or put to death. The only difference is that Big MegaCorp is considered to be a more important person than me, so while they get the rights that I do, they don't have to take the responsibility.
I think that the other thing that the summarizer is also missing that there have always been crappy system admins. I have met many a gray beard back in the day that had no idea what was going on in the big picture. They had been trained to type in a few commands based on certain requests. It looked like they knew what they were doing only because the commands they had been taught to type in were so cryptic. They were like illiterate monks copying bibles that they couldn't read.
Then like now, there were certainly those that did know what was going on, but not as many as your average user thought. This whole article reads like when people reminisce over how much better video games used to be. They forget about all of the really bad crap that was unremarkable.
I'm doubting that. How many times has your personal computer been compromised and how many times has a system you had an account on been compromised? I have had 1 virus 20 years ago on my Amiga. That's it. I have had accounts on dozens of 'cloud' systems that have been compromised. Can you really say that your experience is significantly different?
They didn't say that "healthiest' is repressing basic biological urges. They said "you're not going to be doing anything on facebook or elsewhere that's going to jeopardize your marriage". There is a big difference between the two. Of course, even if your wife is cool with you not "repressing basic biological urges" with women you bring home, she would quite reasonably be pissed off when you go to jail for rape because you didn't "repress basic biological urges" with women who have no interest in you.
The same reason that a criminal would rob a home instead of a bank. It is also better to hit a market that is 1/10 the size than it is to take a 1/10000 share of a larger market.
I suspect that it is more to imply that the guy using one is not only hung like a horse, but hung like a horse that is so big, you could fit an army inside.
I can hear the trolls start to stir at the sound of it, but you might want to consider using IBM. They offer 'cloud' hosting of Domino based email. This has the benefit of allowing you have a local copy for all of your users by just dropping a server at your location and telling it to replicate. It will give you local speed if you choose to access the local replica. You will have access to the hosted system from anywhere in the world. If you decide to go all in house at some later point, you just have them shut off the hosted server since you have the full infrastructure locally. If you don't like the Notes client, you can connect with whatever POP or IMAP client you want.
IBM might not be as hip as Google, but they do know technology.

If Sony didn't care about hackers, geeks, or anyone who is actually informed about the Geohot issue, there wouldn't be a Geohot issue.
No, it wouldn't. The car being discussed was a MAGIC car. That was the point of the movie. MAGIC cars are extremely stable with short wheelbases, and go as fast as is necessary to MAGICALLY win the race.

Your question isn't racist, but the guy in the video sure is.

Depends on what you mean by safer. It is safer from destruction. It is less safe from theft.
They didn't say that "healthiest' is repressing basic biological urges. They said "you're not going to be doing anything on facebook or elsewhere that's going to jeopardize your marriage". There is a big difference between the two.

Some people consider going to a strip club to be cheating.
On the other hand, some don't consider bringing naked chicks home to be cheating.
Agreed. "It just happened" is the biggest cop out for cheating out there. It NEVER "just happens".
The same reason that a criminal would rob a home instead of a bank. It is also better to hit a market that is 1/10 the size than it is to take a 1/10000 share of a larger market.

And how do you run them without paying Apple? I thought you had to buy OSX to use those tools.

What? Since when did you not have to pay Apple money to start developing on their platform?

It even has an app on the homepage that you can install you give you a market app on your phone.
