You bought Apple devices. Rationality does not apply. Also, most of iFad's "missing features" are widely reported within the first week. Also, since the rise of touch and Android, every non-trivial functionality requires an app.
I miss my N95 too, but I can still get my work done today (except outside in real weather). Stop buying crippled devices and encourage open formats.
So a devious photographer may create an automated wifi entry and corruption script and fire it up on a critical event, walking away with the only usable money shot.
Correct, with the exception that the former is more desirable for everyone and the latter only for major corps if they were true (2 counterfactual examples).
They are not true, but that is besides the point. Idealism is about working towards an ideal with the conditions of the present as your starting point.
You seem pragmatic, like me, so we recognize the world not as ideal and take into account of existing positions and directions. But that doesn't invalidate idealism. My pragmatic life would be far more poor without FOSS.
What's the environment like? I personally worked in a lab in Darfur (Sudan); not related to the above, and used off-the shelf equipment (I had a Dell ruggedized laptop but used a normal Acer day-to-day). We had to be mobile in case of riots.
Filters for fan/ventilation intake. UPS and shock protection between generated power and sensitive equipment. Covers for everything, there was a fine layer of dust on everything every morning.
My first installed* GNU/Linux for everyday use was Zenwalk; a stripped down version of Slackware with a one application per task philosophy and package management.
Today you may want to try out Salix OS which is like Zenwalk but has binary compatibility with Slackware so you can install Slackware binaries.
Slackware itself and its children are great for learning GNU/Linux; and the systems are really stable and ZW + Salix are great on older hardware.
* I ran Knoppix and Puppy live to start with, but ended up not using my XP installation and haven't looked back since.
It all depends on the definition of AI. If you think about a working human brain in a computer, virtualized AI based on neurological models may get us there. But what is the result? A miserable human-clone without any contact with the world? We are animals, machines are not (yet).
But parallell to this, you could just as well acchieve an intelligence that is artificial and computational, but it could be so alien to us that we wouldn't understand it. Or perhaps we are misinterpreting what it means to be intelligent, and that programs already run algorithms the same way that we do.
Or something else entirely! AI discussions are pretty loose with regards to definitions.
So what you are saying is that SkyNET essentially decides to kill us because we are: a) spamming b) building impossible rooms c) obstacling the world d) bored or a combination or all of these..?
I say, you must be one of those who believe in AI through complexity.
I'm not defending this view, just pointing it out. I think the Jesus being worshipped is as manifold as the number of worshippers. We don't know anything for certain about Jesus' personal views, and there were many competing "Jesus-cults" in his contemporary society as well (from military to highly spiritual/The Beatles like crowds).
Also, don't get hung up on Jesus. You'd still have to battle the Holy Spirit and God himself, not to mention the nature of trinity (a highly controversial theme among Christians). For instance, who are we to say that the process of evolution isn't the holy spirit? Science has nothing to do with this, thankfully, but for a Christian there's always a way out.
We mustn't lose the greater view. We cannot accept DRM in / as an open specification without tacitly accepting its existence as well. DRM is asymmetric information management. We are not consumers but citizens first; and DRM is created in an environment oblivious to democracy.
The "problems" DRM "solves" can be dealt with using other technologies, or not at all, if it is created simply as a domination tool.
Instead of thinking about the pirates (negatively) think about the users and number of users you want (positively). The pirates drive more users to you.
A software that isn't pirated doesn't sound very successful qua software.
My surprise with Win8 was that having used Unity (and Gnom3) I was familiar with the type to search. This made it possible to troubleshoot tossing win7 tool names in there. I believe Kickstarter (or whatsitname) n KDE is similar.
The perplexing thing is the login screen and accounts (are they all Live accounts?).

You WROTE Stunts?
Well, according to my mother you alone ruined my summers at my cousin's place.
THANK YOU!
When all those come together they call it a synergasm.

I was playing Versus realism in L4D2 and some East-European put this on repeat on teamspeak.
Fastest campaign ever.
+ local cache of important sites. There's an offline version of Wikipedia that would be perfect.

You should talk with Brian Berry from OLE Nepal. Heard the interesting FLOSS #66 podcast and he seemed experienced.

And more!
That's just a fancy way of saying that the universe always was (which gives support to other theories in turn; expand contract expand).
Anyway. Anyone else feel like we should begin prefixing the universe now? "Ye Olde Universe."
Give them an inch..

From my personal experience, I'd say it's when Voyager 1 starts dating another solar system.
What you're saying is God is playing Frogger?
Exactly this.
Case in point: Photoshop.

Splinter wouldn't have trained them if it hadn't been for Shredder.
I feel the same way about Printer.
Stewardship implies sovereignty and superiority over the presumed animal 'kingdom'.
It's because their teeth grows continuously, they have to chew.
Bought a rat when I was a 16yo rocker. We taught it to come when we called for it. Smart animals. Ate my discman.
Noob.
