Um, neither is my FreeBSD box, you make it sound like that's a good thing. As long as the other platforms use Flash, you're just kinda left out in the cold.
And where exactly does the White House get these facts? This isn't like the Bush administration which could just make things up, because quite frankly a lot of idiots out there buy into it and the press gives him a largely free pass.
Not really, it's corporate welfare for people that adamantly oppose corporate welfare. Here in WA we've got a potential GOP senatorial candidate that got called out for receiving 350k+ in subsidies. He claims that if elected he'll get them cut. I don't think anybody believes him, and the GOP seems to be largely ignoring him.
That's patently false. It means you can graft on extensions in places to make the engine do things that you couldn't previously do. Sure, current, cheats / hacks / mods are probably going to work the same, however, this does open things up for new ones that use different servers. But more than that it allows us to choose what systems to port it to.
I'm actually curious what Steve Jobs is going to say about this. Seeing as it does pretty well damage the value of having an iPhone, iPad and whatever they bring out next.
Actually, that's not the case. The reason why is that all the companies know that charging for text messages is essentially a scam, and all of them know that it's in their best interests to not compete on the price of the text messaging. It's not illegal since they don't have to discuss it with each other, they just all know that it's not in any of their interests to rock the boat too much.
Capitalism is a lot dirtier than people suppose, it will always move to a monopoly of some sort, because that is the most profitable position to be in. Likewise being a part of a de facto cartel is also frequently a desired position as it's easier to maintain and as long as you're careful you can get away with it for a lot longer.
You use that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. Unlimited means without limits, as in as much as you can use. Since phones can tether unlimited should include that as well. Especially since it requires them banning apps to keep people from doing it.
It strikes me that just introducing a small series of soft caps which just throttle down the amount of available bandwidth for data would go far further than this will.People would still be able to use their connection, but they might be eventually reduced to a speed more similar to the old 56k modem at the long end of things. They could still do email and stuff, but they'd be taking up very little of the available bandwidth.
That's a bit odd considering that the iPad costs about double the Pandora and lacks any way of playing many games. Personally I'm curious how one would play old NES games without buttons. But then again I'll be getting my Pandora soon.
But that's far more valid than what they argued. The copying to RAM thing is clear cut and not considered to be infringement. It says so explicitly in code, that forms of copying necessary to make use of material is not considered infringement. Meaning that if a copy is infringing it's the copy on the disk, not the copy in memory.
It'll also be interesting to see how they manage to use this in tandem with a discrete card, as in preprocessing the data and assisting the discrete card to be more efficient.
That's not as easy as you suggest. It does depend somewhat on where you are, but unless you're living in a relatively new city, chances are it's not going to work. For instance around here, the blocks are a bit irregular, some don't go through and others are longer than the rest of the blocks. On top of that, there's significant areas where you can't build roads at all due to them running up a steep hill or trying to go along the center of a ravine.
Then you're talking about the actual timing itself, adjusting the timings isn't particularly easy to get right. You're having to deal with traffic in two different directions, and in a couple instances around here, you've got that second and a half direction. As well as a very limited number of major arterials that can be put into place due to the aforementioned geographic oddities.
If it were really as simple as you imply, they would be doing it already, but in practice it isn't that straightforward.
But for one thing, the tests are done anyways, just placed at the bottom of the list. And secondly, this is medicine, it's not fucking grammar school. Placing people arbitrarily at the bottom of the que because of a minor manners issue is puerile and potentially damaging to the patients. When my mother was needing surgery a decade back, she was asked if she wanted an excellent surgeon or one that had good bedside manners. She made the decision that most people do that she wanted an excellent surgeon. Perhaps it shouldn't be viewed that way, but as long as manners aren't required for excellence the lack of manners is going to have to be tolerated to a point.
And that somehow makes it OK to be dickish yourself? Granted from what I gather this story isn't true, but still somebody else being childish and immature is hardly going to result in the world being better. At work I from time to time get to deal with CEOs people who think that they're important outside their company. Let me tell you, at least with doctors they realize on some level that they have to work with these people again. Whereas CEOs tend to forget that they're nothing outside of their company.
If you really want to have some lulz, just try to tell them no.
A shill's a shill. UAC in vista was more or less completely worthless because it was so intrusive that nearly everybody turned it off. Patch Tuesday is not the definition of prompt security updates. The permission system they use has gotten a lot better over the years, but it's absolutely inexcusable that Windows XP was allowed to ship without a proper security model. Yes, that's kind of an old OS, but it is still heavily used in the Windows world and it did ship at a time when proper security models dating back decades before indicated that running everything as admin was bad. Technically you didn't have to, it's just to get any work done at all you had to be.
Some of these things MS has fixed, but most of it is just whitewash. The internet was never something they planned for. And it took them a really long time to even consider stopping to just fix things properly. Sure they may spend more time and money on security than the competition, but is it being productive. The actual effect is what's important, not the amount of resources.
Yeah, they are. I'm not sure about other countries, but in the US treaties are even higher than the constitution. Which I don't quite get, seeing as the power to participate in treaties comes from the constitution, at least for us.
That's just the thing, investment is one thing, but what has been their return on investment in terms of security? Are they really getting their moneys worth out of it, or are they just throwing it down a hole like they've been doing on IE. It's not just the investment it's the stupid ideas that they've failed to kill, most notably activex and the tight integration into the OS.
For organic matter you're frequently better off using enzymes or bacteria to deal with slow drains than chemicals. Although in this case I doubt that would've done much good as you generally need some water flow in order for it to work properly.
The main reason for that is that the rich have been stealing from the poor. The poor end up getting less while the mega rich get even more. Back in the 30s, the prediction was that we'd be down to like a 10 hour work week by now due to all the increases in efficiency. What actually happened was that more of it was diverted to the upper classes and people at the bottom ended up wasting more of it on junk rather than relaxing. It makes no sense to me why one would work 40 hours a week and then spend most of that money on things that one doesn't really want or need.
For the same reason that Apple has been marketing smaller and smaller iPods. Because there are suckers that will pay for a device that's arbitrarily small missing the point that after a point it becomes completely counter productive. But in this case it does make some sense, it means you can download someting on your phone and then put it on a card that fits in the tablet.

Nah, it's Steve Wonder, he's kind of pissed about being left out of this whole Flash thing.

We at the DoD can neither confirm nor deny the existence of whether changing technology somewhere outside the stratosphere.

That's correct if you us an OMAP based chipset then TI would pick up the cost as part of their cost of production and pass the rest onto the customer.

To be fair had MS not been so far behind they would've had other options available.

Hmm, I must've missed MS beating out OpenBSD for security.
