for the dual boots out there:
ask yourself why do you still use windows?
personally i still use them for gaming, there's no other reason to use windows, i can do everything i want in linux, for free, but i cant play games.
bring some serious game titles to linux and people will follow, it's common sense.
What do Linux users need to do to replicate the marketing efforts of Apple and Microsoft and other corporate operating system vendors?
Spend millions of dollars on advertising and even more in subsidies to hardware manufacturers (or like Apple make your own hardware.)
Don't forget the smear campaigns and FUD about other operating systems, threats to sue end users over patent infringement, etc.
I knew in my heart that it was a Muslim when I heard about how he held that little girl by the hair while he changed guns then shot her in the head. Only Islam teaches that the killing of non-believing children is a virtue, and engenders such hate to allow someone to do that to a child.
True. Whereas Islam supports this guys actions, any Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu, or follower of just about any other religion would be going against the teachings of their faith if they said "lets kill a Muslim child in revenge".
"He claims to be a mujahideen and to belong to al-Qaeda, He wanted revenge for the Palestinian children and he also wanted to take revenge on the French army because of its foreign interventions."
Not a big risk, compared to having a Muzzie drive up on a scooter and shoot you.
I don't know, in terms of being personally affected it is probably a bigger risk. Also a higher global impact, though admittedly a lower personal impact.
Yes sure,
Since it was searching by ID I can understand why it did not get some of my extensions (unusual ones like gpgAuth) , but it also said I was using Website Blocker (Beta), which I am not.
Maybe you and me understand (and respect) the private business owners right to sell/not sell to whoever he pleases, but that just isn't how it works anymore.
I'm just worried about how you tell the system that you work in the motor trade and have an "any vehicle" policy. Or that you are risking the "third party" cover you usually get when driving other cars. Or that you have just brought insurance and there must be a problem with the link between the insurance company and the government's system because it hasn't updated. I can think of lots of circumstances where people will get stuck without being able to fill up.
AC is better than DC for transporting electricity because you can convert between voltages with just a transformer. But in a data centre, when all the equipment will be powered by the same voltage, it makes sense to use one good efficient power supply for multiple computers, so that all the components don't have to be duplicated for each computer.
Unless you want to transmit with lower loss and send more current down the same cable. That's why high-voltage direct current is used for most undersea cables
I bet I could compile 1000 swear words. After all the Pakis managed it, though they did resort to including every word that is sacred in non-Muslim religions.
This is about the most sensible government related news (especially from teh UK) I've heard in about a decade.
That would require the appointment to be more than just spin and there to be some chance of them listening to what he says even if it is not what they want to do anyway
Accent?
The summary says "preserving the accent, timbre, and intonation of your actual voice". Now i can get timbre and intonation but accent? It made me wonder what does Mandarin with a Scottish accent sound like, does it apply Scottish speech tones, which would make it unintelligibly, or is it clever enough to find a social equivalent, maybe an accent of a small semi-autonomous region of China?
Unfortunately checking TFA reveals this "accent" part to be the slashdot reporter's fantasy.
I'm sorry, but this is just complaining from an Apple Fanboy. He's wrong on several points, and it's easy to see with a little thinking.
Android has what, four versions in the wild? iOS has 3, 4 and 5 taking up something like 15, 20, and 65% roughly. Not a great deal of difference there.
As for crashing, has he ever used an iOS device? Apps and the OS crash about equally to android.
And if your app is approaching Android's 4GB limit, then I'm sorry, but you're doing something REALLY wrong and should step back and take a look at efficiency,
This sounds like a complaint from a guy who is basically saying "Development is hard, and I don't want to work to make things good". Just as well he's calling it quits, shape up or ship out I say.
Yes, and his battleheart is obviously a gay fantasy game that will have much more demand from an apple audience.

Looks like it was a Muzzie. BBC says
"He claims to be a mujahideen and to belong to al-Qaeda, He wanted revenge for the Palestinian children and he also wanted to take revenge on the French army because of its foreign interventions."
Someone who hasn't read the book naturally assumed that it was about someone playing a game with their "end".
At some point, there is going to be a massive failure. Someone big is going to lose *all* of their data.
I just hope its my mortgage company and not my bank.

I'll buy one .... in universes where this uranium atom breaks down in the next 10 minutes. Now you will need a quantum computer to bill me!
Customers are willing to pay their own kidneys for apple products. Maybe they'll toss in an extra spleen too.
I'm an android fanboi you insensitive clod. Apple will get nothing but bile from me.
i could have predicted that result. O wait...
Well - lets set the rights group on them, they are obviously reading the Qur'an to these kids.
And the kids should be charged with laziness. I mean, really, can't they read the books by themselves ? A generation of slackers, I call it.
If its like the UK library groups it will be someone reading things like "The Gruffalo" to three and four year olds.

Detected two of my 8 extensions and listed one that I don't have installed.

1,000 seems very low.

Windows Vista alienated many corporates, who went straight from XP to Windows 7. The same will probably happen with Windows 8.
Seriously.

New research suggests the daylight saving time change will lead to lower productivity tomorrow as the lost sleep makes workers more likely to slack
Slackers will use any excuse available to slack off
I blame it on slashdot

Expect a quick change of mind after the first Chinese lunar colony is established.
My personal opinion is that bug names are a better solution. They are almost infinite.
Or name them after Islamic terrorists - for the same reason.
Just don't name them after Muslims who condemn terrorism, you'll run out in no time.
