I don't know how anyone can stand the shit interfaces of gmail,hotmail, yahoo etc. even the metro mail is a step up from them. regardless their are a ton of good email clients out their that have the features whined about in the article, and for the majority that don't give a crap about them they will continue to use whatever is installed on their machine of choice.
There are 10's of millions of gamers that don't give a crap about the low powered low end devices. If you think game development houses are going to abandon a highly profitable market you are kidding yourself. a new market is definitely emerging for the low powered stuff but if anything that is driving even more people into the high end market not away from it..
would love to find these laptops that are as pwoerful as a desktop, yet are actually convenient. As an IT consultant/Developer I use a top end laptop for most of my work (i7, 16gb ram, dual SSD's blah blah blah), BUT DAMN, the friggen thing weighs a ton and has a huge powerpack to add to that and as far as I am concerned it is really just a luggable desktop but lacking some of the processing punch of a desktop. For the most part I end up leaving the laptop where I am working for the week. Laptops are getting their but they are still some distance off replacing them, especially in the cost arena and you still need to buy large screens keyboard and mouse so they really are just a slightly more convenient way to lug around your environment, I would still take a well configured desktop over a laptop any day for dev work.
there are netbooks under a kilo but still slightly heavier, BUT a couple of hundred grams difference gives you a keyboard, significantly more processing power and connectivity options as well as far more options in what you can actually run and use it for. personally I don't understand the tablet market (but happy to take that as my failing as I personally have no use for one), I just don't understand spending more to get less (with the exception of weight).
So? just about every sane organisation in the world supports the abortion movement where appropriate, including the WHO. regardless this money is targetted at contraception not abortion.
The sad thing is you're probably serious and worse yet there are plenty of nutjobs in the world that support your view. This charitable donation is a big step forward for the affected people and is definitely a step towards clawing their way out of poverty.
If computing power advances that much in our lifetime I think anyone would be happy to eat some crow pie. it is hard to imagine computing power getting trillions of times more powerful in such a short period, but who knows.
probably thousands of times, this is a very very old form of attack that has been commonly documented and used dating all the way back to the floppy disk. Most IT departments have policies specifically around found disks and media for this exact reason. Why one such failed attempts warrants a front page article is the real mystery here.
Microsoft has been a long time active supporter of equal rights for same sex couples, I believe Apple has also, they just don't make a big song and dance about it as if they are doing something different. While I would like to believe google backed out of China for "moral" reasons it is pretty hard to believe that considering they actively censor content in many many countries including western ones yet they have made no move to tell the government that they are going to withdraw from them.
I think it depends entirely on what perspective you look at them from. I think if you look at some of the deluded followers then yes it fits under a religion with only slightly more whacked out beliefs than the more common ones. But if you look at why the cult was formed (an experiment in scamming people out of money) then it can be sene more as either organised crime/scam or at most a cult.
Plenty of games, even old ones are not entirely inhouse developed, why reinvent the wheel when plenty have already done it before you. Hence they buy 3rd party engines and routines that they have no rights to open source thus dooming the game to never be open sourced even if the game developer would not mind doing so.
IF they are running a 10 year old piece of hardware because of compatibility with ancient crap the chances of this decision to not give them an automatic upgrade path from XP to 7 is going to affect somewhere between Zero and sweet fuck all people. If there compatibility issues are bad enough to still be stuck back their then nothing is changing going forward.
Yet another area that China will be ahead of the US on before long
The world economy is not a zero sum game. China's gain is not America's loss. When one nation makes progress, they tend to import more, and pull up other economies along with themselves. There is no rational reason for China and America to be rivals. But, unfortunately, there are plenty of irrational reasons.
Perhaps it's time to seriously consider learning Mandarin.
It is difficult. Especially the tones. For an English speaker, it is several times more difficult than picking up, say, Spanish. I have been working on it for years, and still get misunderstood whenever I talk to someone not used to a foreign accent. However, the writing system is actually fairly logical once you get used to it, and I can read and type (but not write) way better than I can listen or talk.
While the economy isn't a zero sum game, strength of one candefinitely considerably reduce the other. For instance cheaper power leads to cheaper manufacturing and production costs which leads to a further diminishing of US production due to inability to compete (not that there is much US production left to diminish).
This is the consumer space, HP can't compete in that space when they don't have decent products to go up against, The Sruface tablet looks quite good and will probably appeal to a large portion of buyers, that is something anything from HP hasn't done in a long LONG time.
I Live in Canberra, I hate telstra, but they are the ONLY provider that seems to even cover the city let alone rural areas outside the city. I tried multiple providers before grudgingly admitting telstra was the only viable option. Vodafone worked in the city center but not my suburb, Optus was patchy at best and 3 was a total joke everywhere.
I don't think this is a case of the wrong laws being applied at all and I don't think this even raises issues with similar named companies. Like much of the law the intent of the persons actions need to be taken into account, this scumbag is intentionally registering similar names in order to intercept incorrectly spelled addresses, hence his goal was to intercept emails, the means by which he did it is secondary.
Every other browser, even internet explorer, is headed towards greater user privacy options so mozilla can either go with the heard or stand out as the weak link. They don't really have much of an option here so they may as well look towards being at the front of the pack.
Samsung is a hardware manufacturer. They care about one thing, making money from their hardware. They could not give a rats turd whether they make that money from Android devices, Windows Devices or selling their products as parts for Apple products. OS/Closed source are irrelevent footnotes to a company like Samsung who will happily go wherever the consumer demands take them (as it should be).
I would hazard a guess that the number of people that actually use multiple web browsers in the manner you describe to be a small minority, it seems that in order to cater for the small minority they are significantly twisting their numbers. No matter how you look at it all the stat collectors are all just approximations, but I do think in this case Microsofts view still holds more water than statCounters.
Isn't it about time these spam posts for malware and spyware got deleted by mods rather than just being modded down? It would be nice if the piece of shit scumbags that post this stuff could be blocked/banned/deleted enough to make it not worth their while. The legitimate posts are usually bad enough without this constant crap.
The ipod wasn't anything new either, it was entering a market with many competitors and had less features than most of their competitors. The Zune tried to enter a dominated market with a product that was slightly better but failed miserably on marketing, especially their showcase devices first coming in shit brown colour.
Your entire post makes no sense..NET and X86 have no relation in the context your using them. The article is also completely irrelevant in the discussion on hand..NET HAS been ported to ARM and this has been known for quite some time, so not sure why the idiotic blog/article exists. But regardless of this fact x86 apps still WON'T run on the ARM platform..NET enables you to write CPU architecture agnostic code so you can compile to the platform, it does not allow you to run x86 on ARM.
Of course there are. You simply combine international agreements with changes in the tax laws that require paying tax where the money is earned, close the loop holes that allow companies to offshore earnings by charging their own subsideries ridiculous rates to avoid tax and pretty soon instead of a race to the bottom you have countries racing to agree on mutally beneficial terms to stop from being shut out of the system.
It is not for a 10% drop in taxes on profit, it is a 50% reduction on profits tax. while the actual rate is 10% lower it is in effect halving the tax and that is significant in anyones books, especially for a company which may be on the verge of struggling if it doesn't find another successful game. The simple fact is it is a world economy now, either countries have to get together to get mutally agreeable rates to prevent this sort of thing or they have to live with the inevitable consequences.

What has this got to do with abortion or the support of it??? She is donating money for contraception
