The problem is, that once those countries become industrialized, their citizens get to live in 3 bedroom, 2 car garage houses with a yard, and all that waterfront real estate and beer prices go sky high for the rich American, Canadian, and European tourists who like to frequest economically depressed areas.
of course they ratified (signed) it.
It basically says "USA needs to stop polluting, nevermind the rest of the world." Just like I'd vote to raise your taxes.
HTML WAS DESIGNED to MARKUP a DOCUMENT to SPECIFY a LAYOUT!
(All emphasis intended)
The only part of HTML that wasn't LAYOUT SPECIFIC was the anchor/link.
H1, UL, etc. were all layout specific tags, down to the font size and bullet shape. Even HEAD and BODY had specific layout requirements. Tables, ironically, were the first NON-LAYOUT SPECIFIC tags added to HTML, besides the HTML tag itself.
Yay,
CSS can do simple layout on some browsers, as long as your layout is constricted by what CSS can do, and accepts its warts, and doesn't mind it being completely different on the browsers that can do it.
BR can give you headers and footers. We should replace CSS with that single tag. And maybe FRAMESET. The only thing CSS is good for is fonts and borders, and for that it horribly, horribly buggy on every implementation (IE is best.)
Ironically, IE is also the only sane possibility when using CSS for layout, because it ignores the broken CSS spec.
No, it's stuff like "string literals and integers are objects" and continuations especially, that make it slow.
Continuations are nice sugar, but they are death to efficiency. You could get 10x potential optimization by just having a variant datatype or just a function that you convert primitives to when needed. This could even be done behind the scenes.
There's a reason why every computer has a browser but none of them have java GUIs. And it isn't Microsoft. If people wanted Swing apps they'd have them, whether Microsoft provided them or not. People aren't that loyal to the OS. But people wanted a browser, and Microsoft was force to develop one to compete. Microsoft dropped their JRE because no one wanted it.
Does this mean another delay in Vista so that they can add the WinFS DB backed file system back? Microsoft hates Samba at least as much as any other open source project.
That's because the "expected" increase was expected. Tough to understand, I know, but if the market thinks the value of a share of stock will be worth 6.8% more than it was last quarter, and then it turns out to be worth only 5.7% more, then people have overpaid.
To put it another way. Last year a bushel of apples cost $10. For some reason you expect them to sell at $10.68 this year, and invest accordingly. If it turns out that you can only sell your bushel at $10.57, you have 11 cents less than you thought. You've determined that you need a $0.10 per bushel profit margin in order for your business venture to break even. That means you're losing a penny per bushel to haul the apples from the farm to the market. Why would you be happy doing that?
It's true. IDEs were created when you didn't have a gui that could handle multiple xterms. Considering build/deployment often includes two or more sets of environment variables, sometimes on multiple systems, editing several files simultaneously, running unit tests, etc. a multi-window environment is handy. It was netbeans (accidentally) that helped me realize that an IDE is just a bunch of windows stuck together.
And a modern desktop metaphor graphical shell can do all that except the sticking together / resize hell. Give me ALT+TAB and virtual desktops over resizable frames and multiple "perspectives" any day -- except Sunday.

That problem is with your organization. Just add a filter to remove anything you are only CC'd except from certain people you specify (like your boss), and I'm sure there are several people you can filter out all email from by sender.
Partially correct. "Cracking" specifically meant cracking codes, most frequently copy protection schemes on software or also passwords. Since most "crackers" just used a pre-existing script, the "hackers" who infiltrated computers, considered "crackers" who mostly just wanted to play video games without paying for them, to be inferior.
Whether you agree with his position on net neutrality or not, his metaphor is accurate and his description of the problem is correct.
The internet is like a bunch of tubes and only so much data can only be pushed through them. If you allow spammers to send as much as they want, it prevents other information from passing through the tube.
He's right in his quantification too. The internet will not support video. Not on a universal level. One out of a million people watching a two inch square, low resolution, low budget video filmed in the San Fernando valley is doable. But three out of four people watching reality TV at the same time is a physical impossibility with the network infrastructure for at least decades to come.
Why do you think getting the money out of "politics" is such a good idea? Would you prefer the money stayed hidden in back room deals instead of exposed in the open forum of debate?
I'd rather know who is supporting what. You can't get rid of the money. You can only hide where it's going.
You don't really need to post your auction at ebay if google search can find what you're looking for. You just check a box (or click a tab, like froogle) to only return results of what's for sale (or only what's on an auction that expires this week), and it gives you everything on the internet that's not in a walled garden (watch for ebay hiding their listings from search engine robots.)
Then an auction site becomes nothing more than an email plugin (or web form / or ftp front end) editor that generates a webpages with tags (like , etc.) that a search engine robot looks for and links to a payment gateway API. The only value added is the seller/buyer rating -- which could be replaced with search as well. You could search for "John Doe ripped me off" or something that could be standardized around their payment gateway user id. People could write on their blog "seller JohnDoe1234 on google checkout ripped me off" and you'd see it You could have address verification, along with a "credit score" like "buyer's score" or "sellers rating" too -- like Amazon.
That's idiotic. "Engineer" comes from "person who drives a train" because a train has an "engine." Engine does have a similar root to "ingenuity" because engines were inventions, so "engineer" came to connotate someone who was high tech.
This is equivalent to Apple giving up selling products and inviting IBM and Intel's engineers over for a cushy conference with lots of pampering and then getting them to tell you the problems and ideas they have and then recording everything they say, and then patenting general processes hoping someone will actually invent what was described in the future so you can sue them. As a secondary business, you find the startup that is in the process of a deal with IBM and Intel for their patent for interfacing fiberoptics to silicon, and then buying the patent rights before they realize how valuable it is, only you never would have known, if you hadn't bribed engineers into violating non-disclosure agreements between their employer and the startup
Modern planes are not vulnerable to electromagnetic interference. Modern airlines are susceptible to lawsuits and bad press if three hundred people die in a plane crash. There was one incident where a plane fell out of the sky, and the results were "inconclusive" (which meant that most likely they were very damaging to the airline) and so the FAA inspectors & the airline cooked up a story about a cell phone possibly interfering with avionics. They never said that's what happened but the said it was a possibility and pushed hard on the press to blow up the speculation until you couldn't pick 12 people at random who would possibly convict the airline of negligence whatever the actual cause of the wreck.

So, in theory, higher level languages could be faster than lower level ones, but in practice...

I support net neutrality.
There aren't that many illiterate people in the US. And most of them have jobs that don't allow them to watch TV in the daytime.

No, the idea is to vote for someone you trust to make good decisions.

I think the point is, that Paypal set the bar pretty low.
Visa and Mastercard are the same thing. It's like buying a Dodge or Chrysler Neon. They're all Mercedes, the only difference is the logo.
