About the only thing keeping me on FB is games, and Zynga has peeved me off a lot recently, so it wouldn't take much of another privacy theft by FB to get me to leave it, right about now.
Sayonara. Get used to being Friendster or AOL or CIS.
And Microsoft Flight Simulator. That game's been around a long, long time. I had it on my 0.001 GHz commodore and it was extremely choppy. The frame rate was something like 2 FPS. Of course the reason it was so slow was because it had to redraw the whole 160x200 screen every time..... not the C64's strong point. (Of course Elite did the same thing but it was a much faster 20FPS... better programmers I guess.)
Hey, I'm pretty sure Microsoft understands Solitaire.
One of the local authors I know was having problems with centering of HTML output, which we tracked down to the fact she was using IE, which nobody else used anymore.
Color me unimpressed. I'll wait until the Zune 3... um Windows Phone... is released and then learn where they migrated stuff to.
Read the section about treaties and the judicial rulings from SCOTUS and you'll see that later sections do, in fact, override other sections.
Think of it as a software program where the inherited classes get overwritten by methods. Some are child methods, some replace and supercede parent methods.
I don't remember the full names. The short titles were something like the US/EU Data Privacy Treaty and the US/Canada Data Privacy Treaty, but they tend to have long and confusing names officially.
Maybe so, but do you think Joe user is going to sue the big boys for cutting off his service? And if Joe wins, what do you think the damages will be? Restoration of service and some lawyer's fees? And what IP lawyer do you think will take on such a case?
A Canadian or EU one working pro bono, is my guess. Most likely a class action case.
Too bad this violates the Data Treaties that the US signed with both the EU and Canada over Data Privacy and Copyright.
Canadian citizens have a stronger right to use material, as was ruled yesterday, and since the US Senate affirmed both International Treaties, it is bound to respect their rights, as treaties override any national laws or actions, as our US Constitution specifies.
My computers last about 5 years on average, and monitors twice that.
I bought my last PC last year, and there's no reason to replace a perfectly fine 6 core 64GB 2TBHDD Win7 machine just to line somebody's pocket. This go round I even bought a new monitor, so until the 3D monitors drop to around $100 for 32 inch sets, ain't gonna be no money spent on a PC.
And my iPad2 works fine, thanks. I'll buy the iPad4 when it ships, or maybe get an iPhone5 to sync to my Win PC, but not sooner.
Do you think this amazing scientific discovery of the Higgs Boson particle, with its implications for science and, specifically, gravity, will have any impact on how fast a man on the moon could throw a fastball?
Face it, steam punk trains in vacuum tubes go too fast and would shock the brain.
Man was not made to go 4000 miles per hour, and if we went by train faster than by plane, we might have to admit wasting energy on planes is a very very bad idea.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a Zeppelin to catch. Let me just fire up my Jetpack and I'll fly up to it.
I for one welcome our Norse Tree Gods, and the great trick they and Loki have played on gullible fools who forget that the Little Ice Age was quite a bit AFTER Roman Times.
Now, I see a frozen pine spar I'd like to get to know better...
Back in the day, we had magnetic cores and we flipped them on and off to find F1SH.
And we liked it!
Also, as AC pointed out, Rainbow Trout are landlocked salmonids. Usually due to really large geological alterations like those in Nelson BC which created that giant Kootenay Lake you see in all the SciFi movies. Technically, the genomes are pretty much the same, though.
A number of Australian articles about the farce of the TSA search and detection methods have been posted by scientific friends of mine in Australia, which point out what I and other people with counter-terrorism experience have long known - more than 80 percent of all the methods and techniques the TSA use are proven to not work.
Given that, and other objective evidence, reading a book on this subject would be best classified under Absurdist Comedy, or Satire.

I claim prior art.
Now, let me light these candles, put on some Barry White, and turn the lights down low and I'll show you what I mean.
You're looking lovely tonight, you know.
What is this Yelp you speak of?
Is that something involving tin cans and a piece of string?
And this will happen to G+ at some point, and then later to whatever service/site G+ lost to, and so on and so forth.
There's always pinterest or something else down the pike.

You assume that just because there is prior art that the Patent Office cares about that.
HI!
I'm Clippy Junior!
Aren't you glad I'm here to be your friend and help you play your game!
(stands in front of zombie coming towards you so you can't target it)
Now, let's use your weapon.
First, did you remember to bring bullets?
You can buy more for $1000 in Microserf Bucks!
(pops up giant multi-panel Buy Bullets menus while the zombie eats your brain)
Maybe you should buy some soon - that zombie seems to be eating you!

SQL is used for relational databases.
NoSQL is used for DSS views of data, for which an RDBMS may not be the best choice.
If the world you look at is flat, or you look at it in layers (eg a GIS) than a different tool might be a wiser choice.
Life is not a binary Either Or choice. It is a multiple choice statement and you can check zero, one, or many boxes.
You may call that a bug.
the lonely lonely Skype program calls that "making friends".
Come on, sign it up for a dating service, it wants to make friends.

No, you just bore me.
Strange, it's almost as tho you're saying that as an AC when I'm saying the exact opposite while logged in.
Tell you what, let's flip a coin to figure out who gets to pretend to be a constitutional or international treaty scholar today, shall we?

This is interesting. Does anyone know the names of these treaties?
I'll give you a hint. They have the word Data in them.
Maybe so, but do you think Joe user is going to sue the big boys for cutting off his service? And if Joe wins, what do you think the damages will be? Restoration of service and some lawyer's fees? And what IP lawyer do you think will take on such a case?

Or would that only apply on Earth?

Cali also depends on other states - primarily WA and OR - for power. Not just water.

And look forward to innovative new ways to throw chairs at us using both hardware and software.
Fifteen security patches on a Win 7 box.
Yo ho ho and an innovative bottle of Rum (tm).
