It's easy to learn to use apostrophes correctly, and find out that charm works better than being stiff.
I will admit, in general, it shouldn't change with all those points in just a few years, but it's hardly 'proof'... Just a likelihood. Certainly not enough to throw the case all on its own.
For a situation such as yours, the website owner actually cares more than you do. If your password gets stolen from another site, the hackers will be able to log into your account on your other throw-away sites. This means they have a new spam account that -looks- like a legit account. That's quite valuable to spammers, and painful for admins.
Have you tried that? My every attempt at that has been dismal at best, even with Hexxeh's compiles. Unless the system is designed for ChromeOS, or Hexxeh has specifically targetted it, it's a bit of a nightmare.
If I were Apache, I'd be talking really nicely to the LibreOffice devs. They've obviously got their stuff together and they're making the improvements people want.
At this point, I feel that Apache has inherited a name and nothing more. Anyone that wanted to fork an office suite would pick Libre over OO.o right now. And that's not likely to change any time soon. Why throw time and effort into an inferior product when it could just as easily go to the superior one?
Exactly how? Giving us a few games that we already own and membership in a service that we already pay for (or don't want) is not a promise of any kind. It's an apology.
They have not said what they are apologizing for (I assume it's for being down) and they haven't promised not to screw over their customers with rootkits, not to take away value from the products we already paid for, or not to leave their servers in a hackable state.
Seniors are still in the work force because they need the money.
I was very surprised to learn (from my Japanese language partner in Japan) that 'retirement' means quitting your really nice desk job and getting a crappy manual labor job like bagging groceries. I found this out by offering congratulations when she said her husband was 'retiring'. It was the same conversation that I learned that retirement is not optional when you hit a certain age. (His company it was 60 yrs old. Hers is 65.)
I don't think we really know... But either way you look at it, cancer is going to take fewer years away from a 72yr old than a 30yr old.
I have to say, though, that you have to have a bit of a death wish to volunteer to take that big a chance on getting cancer. Especially since I think their '20 years to develop' estimate is off by 18 or 19 years.
That's like saying not to bother selling Mac software on a store shelf, either.
People will buy from this, but only if it makes sense. It has to be cheaper or better in some way than the competition.
Plus, they're already running something similar for software/games for Windows. This is probably just an extension of that and doesn't cost that much. I doubt it'll take much profit to break even.
They aren't as common because they cost money. And people don't care enough to pay for it. If they do, they can buy an amazing one for $50.
As for terminal lines, Cederic hit the nail on the head. I have -way- more customization now than ever before. I can make my terminal full-screen and adjust the font size to make any number of lines down to an unreadable level.
Amen, brother. I vote for who I want in office, not 'the best that could win'. I hate it when people say a vote for a third party candidate is a wasted vote. It's that attitude that ensures we are stuck with the status quo.
Adjustable-height monitors still exist, too. I just bought a replacement stand for mine last year that has both height and rotate. For $50.
Just like always, you have to be willing to pay for features. Only looking at the cheapest things on the market and claiming the good stuff doesn't exist anymore is silly.
It's a weird idea, since a contract can always be broken. How do they expect to prevent people from breaking their contracts, and thus retaining their copyrights? Do they un-do the surgery? That would be even worse press. Is there a monetary fine clause for breaking the contract? I can imagine the press there, too.
Is there actually anything to back that up? I hear that over and over, but have never seen stats.
My experience in school until Highschool was never one of cooperation or interaction. The closest I got was my Gifted class that most students couldn't pass the test to get into. In that class, there was a lot of projects, presentations, and such. But in my regular classes (that I had to go to in addition to Gifted) there was none of that. Highschool was the first time I worked with someone else on anything and was graded on the team's performance, and that only happened a couple times.
So I have to question exactly how much interaction is really happening in our schools.
I'm not even saying you're wrong... It could be that you're right, and I'm right... And that we NEED to start teaching social interaction and teamwork in our schools. But again, is there any real evidence, or just suppositions?
Actually, I hadn't meant that. I was one of the children that was bullied at school, and 'social interaction at school' was always a negative thing for me.
However, I do recognize the need to learn to work and play with others, so that does need to be addressed. I usually forget about it when talking about education.
Wow, your comment made me look at online education in a different way. Before I always just saw it as all the students watching the teacher over a live video, and maybe there being a video stream back if they want to ask questions.
Instead, I think it would be a lot better for the teacher to record the lesson once (assuming the same lesson is taught multiple times in a day or week) and then allow the students to individually pause it to ask a question, which could be done via live video. While the students are watching, the teacher can be grading papers or whatever other work they have to do, instead of having to take that home with them like so many do right now.
The only issue I've thought of so far is multiple students having the same question, but responses to questions could be recorded also and added to the site like a video FAQ for that lesson/course/etc.
I ran the numbers yesterday on using my 2 graphic cards and CPU to mine bitcoins and it just doesn't work out for me. To actually make money at it, I'd have to spec out a new system with the very newest graphic cards and use it just for mining... And it would still be quite a while before I saw a profit. And the market is always changing, and the difficulty to mine bitcoins is always increasing.
To give you an idea, my dual core 2.13ghz got about 1000 khashes/sec, my gt9600 got about 1800 khashes/sec, and my gtx550ti got about 38000 khashes/sec. (Yeah, that last one is a lot higher.) khashes are 1000 hashes, so that first number is actually 1 million hashes per second, but the calculator and most people talk in khashes instead.

Because they do. If it wasn't 'so great', this volunteering to take the chance wouldn't mean anything.

Actually, the original proposer makes the statement that they are not like Kamikaze because they are coming back. They are not going there to die. http://yosukeyanase.blogspot.com/2011/05/veteran-engineers-call-for-volunteers.html
So it's quite possible that all the talk of kamikaze in response to this is directly from his words... Or that he was responding to that talk already.

In this case, I have failed to allow him my copyright. That breaks the contract. There's no teeth to the contract.

Last I checked, 'responsible disclosure' meant giving the company time to fix the vulnerabilities before you released the info to the public.
Am I missing the part where we've gone beyond that point?
I missed the part where he reviewed the book and only found a summary of it.
Who would you recommend this book for? Does it hit its stated goal? Was it better used as a paperweight?
Reviews are inherently biased. That's their whole purpose. If I want to know what's in the book, I'll thumb through the table of contents.
Every single new major game has reports of people saying it overheated their PS3 and bricked it. Every single one.
I would be -surprised- if this one didn't.
As for MS, good for them. I think it's time to pull my old 360 out of the closet and update it in hopes of getting an even newer 360. :D
He's talking about the Bash Shell, not specific apps.
That sounds like a good project... If you spec'd out the usage, you could probably get someone to hack it in.

You have to mine bitcoins in blocks. Blocks have 50 bitcoins. That's where the magic number 50 comes from. (No, I don't know why this is.)
There are quite a few 'pools' out there where everyone involved helps and if someone in the pool finds it, everyone splits the win.
Yes, this sounds just like a lottery pool because it is. http://cryptome.org/0004/bitcoin-lottery.htm Bitcoin is one giant lottery with winners every day.
I ran the numbers yesterday on using my 2 graphic cards and CPU to mine bitcoins and it just doesn't work out for me. To actually make money at it, I'd have to spec out a new system with the very newest graphic cards and use it just for mining... And it would still be quite a while before I saw a profit. And the market is always changing, and the difficulty to mine bitcoins is always increasing.
For anyone else interested, here's the site I used for the calculation: http://bitcoinx.com/profit/index.php
To give you an idea, my dual core 2.13ghz got about 1000 khashes/sec, my gt9600 got about 1800 khashes/sec, and my gtx550ti got about 38000 khashes/sec.
