is that legal? there's no government oversight for where the cloud is going? are they getting offshored? are we losing our clouds to foreign countries?
Just a thought... the moon controls tides. We have calendars based on it. Many real world applications of the moon, so to speak, exist. What's a real world application of a black hole? Does a black hole affect my daily life? Does it "govern" it in any way... like the moon does?
You're right, it's not an OS built in HTML5. It's actually built more or less on top of Android without Dalvik... very similar, actually, to ChromeOS it seems, except Firefox replaces Chrome. Apps are built in HTML5.
Don't they fork RHEL? RHEL 5.9 came out relatively recently. RHEL still provides updates to 5x and 6x, so it makes sense that CentOS would also still be putting out CentOS 5x in tandem with 6x.
Question - how do the different ISPs utilize the same infrastructure? Technically, I mean. Or are they all on different infrastructure, except perhaps for the "last mile" ?
Read John 1. Speaking of *Jesus* ("the Word"), John says that "All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made."
There's a reason it's called *artificial* intelligence. You're right, it's just a lot of syntactic association capability. But it *looks* like intelligence when you observe it. Watson is not really "thinking" like a rational human being, though; that's why it's *artificial.*:)
Seriously? Do you have a citation or link or something for that? (I've never heard of this before. I'm not terribly surprised, but would like to read about it)
If true, my already pretty bad view of Apple just got worse.:P
I mean if a muslim goes out a does something, and every other muslim leader does not immediately condemn the behavior, then all the christians go and condemn all the muslims. So is turnabout fair play?
Yes. Christians should condemn this. And they have.
Hacker gets into Chase Bank. Publishes credit card information. Is publishing that information "free speech," too? Seems like we shouldn't change our stance against something just because it possibly has monetary consequences.
This. Other people's rights to what? Rights to not be offended? You have that right if you're on your own private property, because you can tell someone to get off it and they have to (trespassing, etc.). But in a public space? I don't think you have a right to "not" hear something by some other free individual.
... I can do 120 WPM with my new-ish (last 5 years) wireless Logitech keyboard, too. I would have thought that layout (QERTY vs. Dvorak) and familiarity is important, not the sturdiness (I-can-use-my-keyboard-as-a-cludgel) and clickiness (you-can-hear-me-type-from-the-next-block). And I like the start key, actually. It's handier than cntrl-escape.;):)
Microsoft threatened vendors when they wanted to put other browsers on their OEM builds and that's what made it illegal.
Do you have a citation for this? I've never heard this particular statement before. Furthermore, if the problem was that they threatened vendors, shouldn't that have been what the lawsuit was about, and not about bundling the browser?
It seems silly to me that the argument went like: "You are threatening vendors and forcing them to not put other browsers on OEM builds. Therefore, we require that you remove your own browser, even though that's not the problem, that's not what was illegal, and there's nothing wrong with you having it there."
Games aren't the only things though, I'd also need Cakewalk Sonar (and affiliated plugins), or something very much like it, Native Instruments Kontakt and EastWest Play.
And, for me, Sibelius... music notation. There is not a good replacement for it. Yes, there is "music notation" software for Linux. I said "good" replacement;)
"my computer works already, I didn't have to hunt down twenty drivers from twenty different sites and make sure I kept them all up to date individually"
I haven't had to do that on my Windows 7 machine for a long time, either. Windows 7 knows about the drivers. I even get video card driver updates from within Windows Update.
And yes, I use Linux, too. RHEL Workstation 6.x on my work laptop, Linux Mint in a VM just for fun, Linux Mint on my desktop in a VM (Windows 7 host). In the past two years, I've also used openSuSE and Ubuntu. I work with Linux *for* work as well. I'm not quite sure I prefer it to Windows 7, I actually like the Windows 7 interface.
I don't have much of a reason to switch to Windows 8. I understand there are a few performance benefits and a couple of nifty tie-ins, maybe an app or two, and the new Start screen which isn't *that* bad. But Windows 7 is working just fine. Why upgrade?

country can permit retroactive anything.
You buy a slave legally. Country decides that is unconstitutional and decides all slaves must be free - retroactively.
Maybe some retroactive decisions are good.

You might call the Colosseum the Roman version of a violent movie. Except it wasn't a movie.
Because, clearly, a shotgun can't cause much havoc.
Did they have fins? Useless "hands" + no fins = dead fish.

Yes. Christians should condemn this. And they have.
or simply exercising their own?
I don't see how "hacking" = "free speech."

Lots *of* flaws. Modded insightful. ;)

Why do you use the Win98 machine? Just no reason to upgrade, or are there compatibility issues with some of your devices?

Fixing problems caused by regulation (government-granted monopolies) with more regulation. Something seems wrong with that.
Maybe coming up with a solution such that the whole government-granted monopoly thing is no longer "necessary" would be better?
Exile III was ported to Linux. Just saying. ;)

This could be framed another way; that is, "swing states" are the only ones the candidates care about. The rest of us are taken for granted.
