Here's something to ponder - the past two summers were some of the coldest ever recorded in the Pacific Northwest. The last 10 years have seen a reversal of the global warming trend. We are undeniably in a decade-long chill at this point in time. Even desert areas (not "drought ares") in Australia are getting drenched with torrential rains which is extremely unusual there.
It's time to relax, sit back, flip the lights on, rev that engine, and stop worrying about this boogie-man called AGW. Much better to concentrate our efforts at fighting industrial pollution involving actual poison, not carbon dioxide.
There have been stern warnings about war with Iran since about 2005. Every time we hear about how "All options are on the table" and similar threats. Some sanctions that Russia and China ignore are enacted, etc.
If there was going to be war on Iran it would have happened already. It hasn't. It won't.
I have never even heard of Google Play (beta), and I use Google nearly ever day (DDG has decreased that from "dozens of times per day"). I typed in play.google.com in the location bar, and sure enough, there it was. It appears to be some kind of movie / music / book / game store. Imagine that - a whole Google media store that I have never heard of!
Anyway, one has to ponder, how long will it last? Google's demand that developers use their payment system is tantamount to an admission that Google Play is not profitable. Google tends to kill projects off that are not profitable.
I never had a segfault with the Nvidia closed-source driver on either Linux or FreeBSD. Never. I'm not sure what you are on about, with your text mode jazz, but I never had an issue with that either.
Maybe this just proves that I have *more* experience than you do, because I was able to get shit working properly.
They were the only ones who made a GPU driver that actually both worked and performed well. Whether or not it's open source is of secondary consideration - give me a fucking GPU driver that actually pumps pixels!
I suppose this is why all the top secret military information is on machines hooked up to the internet - so that it's easy to patch them.
If you have information that you never want to be released, why keep it on a "machine" at all? You'd put that data onto several kinds of storage media, to future-proof it, and store several copies in different locked vaults. No need at all to even have it available live.
No, it sounds like he has a well reasoned suspicion of cloud services, and you have an irrational need to be a douche who not only can recognize his very valid points, but wishes to try to deny they exist.
NuBus was off the shelf. SCSI was off the shelf. The 68K was VERY off the shelf. Sure they used some proprietary peripheral connectors, but the hardware was really quite ordinary.

It acts as a plain click. None of the other modifier keys make it act any other way, they simply raise the window.

Actually on OS X you can click on anything in a window in the background, without raising it, if you hold down the command key. It's always been this way.

Bitcoin is fully anonymous. I think you are confusing authenticated with anonymous.
Why do you think that somebody with poor impulse control needs a gun nor the ability to vote?
Hell I think it should be legal to shoot somebody who is taking crap from me, no matter it's value. Some states agree.
Oh, he has privacy. Except when he or anybody goes into public. If he can't handle hordes of adoring followers, he shouldn't have gone into show biz.
What language do you suppose the high performance numerical Java libraries are written in?
Britannica used real imitation leather, unlike the World Book which used imitation imitation leather.
You choose to do this. You could either find a job closer to home, or move closer to your workplace, or telecommute...
"Which? Microsoft and Apple?"
Microsoft, Apple, Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Samsung, LG, Fuji, Panasonic...
It's telling that you didn't have the courage to say this while logged in.
The way Google's been going lately, probably way WAY more than a million.

Wow, patches in Samba. Look out everybody!
That's nothing. I have beaten hundreds of people up until they switched to Linux.

Actually later tests revealed that the 1.5 KHz tone that the expert heard was an artifact from his own tape player, and not the compression codec.

Do you imagine that universities are letting students play metal gear on these things when they aren't being used for number crunching?
They never hook them up to the playstation network.
Aside from this, Sony has already said they will assist both universities and the US federal government in maintaining their ps3 linux networks.
Get out of here Mr. Kutaragi.
