we live in a world where the west's material goods are supplied by slave labor, figuratively speaking of course, and many times, those jobs are the best ones around. this says a lot about the countries that we get our material goods from.
until our computer systems are sophisticated enough to *accurately* model the effects on humans, we're going to continue to do animal testing. that's just the reality we live in.
If I post something to an online site and I allow them to save cookies, then it's my fault if they find out demographic information on me. That I can handle.
If I subscribe to a free email account and they mine that information for demographic information, I guess I'm okay with that. It's free.
If either of those companies sell that information to the government to keep better tabs on me, it's my fault for using free online services.
If they tap my phones or spy in my residence, that is a breach of privacy. The other is a breach of private non-critical data.
I would not call this implementation "Free To Win", as they offer no paid items that can't be obtained by putting in the time and effort. Thus it's a decent Free to Play implementation. If the freemium options aren't available erstwise, then I would definitely call it Free To win.
Cloud is big data tables distributed across geographic locations to ensure not only optimum uptime but optimum response time. If you just have a server farm in Dallas, TX, that's not a cloud, no matter how big your data tables are. But if you have them in every locale (not necessarily same city but local as far as bits go) to each office accessing it, and they all share/propagate data intelligently across the big tables, that's a better definition of a corporate cloud. It's just that this kind of architecture is difficult and expensive to do, so it's usually done by 3rd parties.
Bush != Republicans. Bush is a republican. All of Al McHogan is dead, but only some of the class of dead people are Al McHogan. Listen to people talk, and it is not an unfair generalization that they (a) don't understand science and (b) don't support science. However this can be said of democrats. The issue, is that they pursue policy that is diametric to science... which most democrats don't. The party affiliation does not equal a specific politician.

that signature disturbs me. they should get modded +5 partyvan
I want that game
let's see... pay $40 for a bluray disc, or just watch it on Netflix, cable, or Hulu? Hmm...

but Avast Free is AMAZING... *blink* *blink*

ugh... blackroll
I didn't know anon was so dedicated! I thought they were distributed... ;-)
You can't design quantum algorithms to solve classical computer problems faster?
you know when the U.S. Government tries to charge you under the Espionage Act, that's how.
They can force you to produce documents if they know you have them. They can't say "hand over all of your documents". Same thing with decryption.
The cable wasn't properly secured. It wasn't defective.
The only thing the cloud is really for is big data tables and decentralization. But for corporate IT, it doesn't make sense.

On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
They cut out massive costs for manufacturing and wound up making more on iTunes than they margin they made on CD's. Of course they'd love him.
but pork is so TASTY
