What's a meeting and a letter going to cost? Pay a lawyer a couple of hundred bucks. If this is just some sort of scam, a letter from an attorney will more than likely send the guy running. If it's legit, then you're definitely going to want legal counsel.
I stand in awe. I'm a huge PF fan, and I've listened to that album perhaps 20 times. I think Ummagumma has got more play on my stereo that TFC. Do they give out Purple Hearts for listening to TFC multiple times a year.
The problem is not really the devices themselves any more. Admittedly, Apple or Google could screw the pooch in some horrendous way, but I don't think they're going to make any missteps that large. The problem here is the app stores. Apple's app store is very large and very mature, and while Google's is still a bit of rough around the edges, particularly for developers, it too is very large. Microsoft is starting out three or four years late here, and while it may be able to push out a decent mobile OS and maybe even some fine devices to go along with it, at the end of the day, the consumer may simply not be willing to take a chance on Microsoft's app store.
I still think that Microsoft should take a meaningful stab at the enterprise with mobile devices that integrate into AD domains. I know the Surface will, but I think the functionality should grow to include RT devices. I have to admit, I'd be damned tempted by a Windows phone that could act as a domain member.
It certainly was in the beginning, but so obscured was the real Jesus (whomever he might have been, if he existed at all) even by the end of the First Century that he had largely come to have a more rarefied, symbolic and deific air about him. I don't think you could meaningfully describe Christianity as Jesus' cult of personality by the end of the First Century, and most certainly not by the time of the Nicene Creed. By that point, the main streams of Christianity officially rejected Arianism and other heresies and pretty much moved Jesus into the Trinitarian Pantheon.
Certainly the beliefs seem equally absurd, but I would country that Scientology is in some important respects considerably different than, say, Roman Catholicism or Hinduism. Scientology is still very much a cult of personality of L. Ron Hubbard. There are no layers of retelling and recasting as you find in an ancient religion like Hinduism, nor is there really a regular theological system like you find in Roman Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity or the older Protestant faiths. There are no real further testaments, nothing like Church Fathers who followed after the founder and enlarged, and in some ways normalized the beliefs to the wider society. Scientology has not really grown from its roots as a sort of vehicle for Hubbard's ambitions and prejudices.
Perhaps some day it will grow out of that and become more expansive, but for now it still firmly clings to the more cultish aspects. You can call down many Christian churches for absurd beliefs and fantastical mythos, but few behave towards errant members as Scientology still insists on doing to those who won't accept its absolute authority.
I don't really care who directs it. I'm more interested in finding out if Ford, Hamill and Fisher are going to be in it. I know they're old fogies now, but frankly after the horrors that were the prequels, I'd like nothing more than Han Solo with a blaster.
At the end of the day it isn't because Beijing are big fans the NK regime. They likely hate the Kims as much as anyone. What wakes up the Chinese leadership in cold sweats late at night is the idea of a regime collapse (whether internal or external factors) and millions of North Korean refugees flooding over the border.
The Chinese may be more willing to use open lines of communication to voice their disapproval of the regime's conduct than in the past, but until someone can come up with a credible plan to wind the regime down with as little violence and upheaval as possible, they will continue to back it.
Even from an economic point of view (for you Libertarians out there), it makes absolutely no sense to fill up prisons with mentally ill people. It's robbing Peter to pay Paul. Sure mental health services get smaller on the budget sheet, but incarceration costs, policing costs and even less obvious ways this costs society go through the roof.
Because the young hot shot wasn't doing anything nefarious, and when he first reported the vulnerability he was praised. It's only when he determined that no one was doing a fucking thing about the vulnerability that he got kicked out.
But you underline my point. Yes, some legacy programs may be partially usable in a tablet format, but even there the interfaces have been built for keyboard and mouse in mind. Going forward, software interfaces will be built to take advantage of the Windows 8 Surface and Windows 8 RT interface. But that undermines the whole idea of an x86 tablet as something special. Since, going forward, it's likely most developers will be writing software to run on both x86 Windows 8 and ARM-based RT, legacy x86 means squat. Claiming Surface is worth double what I could pay for a tolerably useful Windows notebook because it can run legacy x86 apps is a pretty empty claim in the long run. Nobody is seriously going to be running Win32 and pre-Windows 8 Win64 apps with any regularity on Surface.
Slashdot Mirror
Except that it was co-credited to Pink Floyd, and Gilmour and Mason were both on it.
My favourite PF album is Animals, so I would hardly call myself a casual PF fan.
TFC has a few decent tracks, but all in all it's a lesser work.

Indeed. In a proper journalistic enterprise the editors would resign in protest.

He's a libertarian. You don't think he's actually read the Constitution do you?

OS/2 Presentation Manager had exactly the same shortcuts.
They're trying to make a new market because they've so abysmally failed at getting a toehold in the mobile market.
A lot more recent than that:

I don't think it would take much to convince Scottish voters to stay in the UK. Latest polls show only 23% of Scots want independence.
So how is a compromised ssh binary getting on Debian?
It puts its stereotypes in the basket!
Meesah have no problem with de muey-muey racism. Meesah just happy to be here!
Opportunity is definitely one of NASA's great success stories. A wonder of engineering talent (and a heavy dose of good luck).
I hope by the time humans finally walk on Mars, it's still there so it can be preserved.

An while they create a bit of security theater beating on this kid, the Russian mob is stealing all the personal ino on the system.

You can call FAT and its variants a lot of things, but "modern" isn't one of them.
Which still won't make using legacy x86 apps any easier to run on a tablet.

If I have to haul around a separate keyboard, it isn't a laptop.
