Google has a pretty strong reason to keep as much of the information to itself as possible, it doesn't want anybody to know how it chooses what ads to serve at what time and to whom. Them sharing unnecessary information makes about as much sense as a billboard company allowing folks to put up their own ads the night before they put up a new ad.
It was the only thing that was keeping me from taking a look at it. I'm not sure that it's going to be enough for me to use the service. Personally I don't use FB, so having something available that's more stable from a privacy POV would be good.
OK, I was wondering what problem this would solve that couldn't be more economically solved via FPGA. FPGAs have their issues, but unless you're intending to do a fairly substantial run of chips, I can't imagine it being practical without using FPGA chips.
It's only debt if the companies are accepting the goods without paying, as long as they pay up when the transaction occurs there's no legal requirement that they pay cash. Apple did a similar thing a while back when they refused to sell iPhones for cash.
We're not that far away from a time when ebooks are cheap enough for libraries to actually lend out. Borrowing books is only one facet of a library's usefulness, around here they have free classes, access to computers, not to mention librarians that can find all sorts of information that one has a hard time finding on ones own.
Right now a Kindle, for instance, is $79 new, DVDs and some of the more expensive books can be that much or more to replace.
In other words, even with the books replaced by electronic copies, having physical locations is still something of value to the community. But then again, folks around here use the libraries more than anywhere else in the US most years, so I could be overestimating the utility a bit.
19 months late. But, in this case the Europeans do that stupid day month year crap which makes even less sense than the American month day year crap which makes less sense than year month date, which quite frankly is the only one that folks should be using.
That's not a very informative link. Plus, it's President, not president, although the typo is probably more accurate at this point.
As you might note, they are the equivalent of an executive order and are not permanent in the same way that executive orders are not permanent. It's not a real treaty and it's not something that appears anywhere in the constitution. A real treaty would be durable over successive administrations.
As long as the GOP can't put forward a competent, qualified and sane candidate it's going to be hard for the Democrats to come up with somebody as dangerously incompetent as the ones that the GOP seeks out.
Actually, even when they aren't outright counterfeit, the FDA doesn't have the resources to visit each and every product line on a regular basis. So, even if the line is legitimate there's no oversight guaranteeing that it works as advertised. On top of that generic time release medications often times have to use a different delivery system as the delivery system isn't covered by the same patent and is often times still valid.
When you cut cost on medication you run the risk of lowering the quality of the medication. Especially if there isn't adequate oversight to ensure that the money is coming from corporate profits rather than by cutting corners during production.
That's completely different. If you buy a share in a company you ultimately own a very small piece of the company, and unless they go bankrupt, you have something to show for it. Bitcoins are a bit different in that you don't own anything, they're not provided by a reputable source and they're effectively just a newer version of a ponzi scheme.
With international exchanges it's a bit more complex, but they typically only allow you to exchange currency that's legal tender in some nation, not bitcoins or other imaginary currency.
Yes, but this whole project is purely a matter of French nationalism and NIH. The US can't take down its own satellites without either having replaced it with something new or doing with out. If the Europeans were that concerned with the US doing it, there's nothing at all stopping them from launching their own GPS satellites.
At the end of the day, I'm really not sure what precisely Galileo provides which GPS doesn't.
It's technically possible that there's some corner case or extension that causes it, but I haven't seen that on the 4 or 5 machines I have access to over 4 or 5 different OSes and not even on my Nexus One. So, I suppose it might be possible, but I do have to wonder what sort of hardware and software combination folks are running that it becomes an issue.
You act like Firefox is slow, the only times I have a problem with speed is when my internet connection stalls out, and that happens with other browsers as well. Even my laptop with dual core 1.6ghz processor I don't have any trouble with Firefox keeping up.
Nothing like making a false accusation to show people you're involved in the conversation.
It's not paying for phone service that folks object to, it's having to select between carriers that charge too much for the service because the corporations are engaged in anticompetitive behavior. It might water evil down a bit, but it's definitely not above the board.
It is something and a hands free phone is somewhat better than nothing, you then have two hands on the wheel, making it less likely that you'll lose control of the vehicle due to losing your grip on the wheel. The problem with banning headsets as well is that you're never going to know who is and isn't using one, they're already small enough to be covered by ones own hair without having to be a hippy.
This year has been the worst in half a century, if you're planning for events that infrequent you're going to have a challenge finding anywhere to build your production facilities.
OK, George Lucas referenced it in 1977 and 2001 was made in 1968, so by my calculations Apple shouldn't be claiming ownership over it until 2019 by the earliest. But only if they can figure out how to create a device that sucks buttons out of nearby devices.

Precisely what law? You're only required to take cash when servicing debt, not at the time of the transaction.

Really? Wasn't France going to be doing that on its own in the near future?

In most states if the elector doesn't vote the way that the voters want there are some pretty substantial penalties attached.

Well, it worked for Apple.
but, but, but this time it was going to be different than the previous several dozen times that people bought imaginary financial instruments.

Good news is that Opera still cares about the users. The bad news is what the fuck is Opera?
Yes, but Van Gogh only had to sell the painting once to one person, the folks at Chrome are wanting large numbers of people to use Chrome.

Hogel, weren't those low end cameras?
