That's correct... I've done the same with people I know that have purchased a new computer. I tell them to use Office Starter, save some money, and *if* they find they need more features or Outlook, they can install Office after purchasing a license key card. They save money at first, and I can only think of one instance (of about 10) where the user had to purchase Office after the fact.
While similar phones based on the Windows Phone platform were missing from Nokia's accusations.
Of course not... Nokia and Windows are in a partnership. I imagine the *official* reason Windows Phone isn't mentioned is because Nokia already "licensed" Microsoft (and therefore Windows Phone) to use said patents, and Nokia is allowing Microsoft to indemnify Windows Phone manufacturers from prosecution for using those patents.
When I was there in 2005, some humvees had these. They didn't work well, and picked up a lot of false positives. When I returned a second time in 2006 / 2007, I don't recall seeing a single ShotSpotter. But the ShotSpotters made the guardshack's day when they could come back from dropping Marines at post and say "We were shot at! The ShotSpotter beeped, said it came from the right!"
Is this the same country that sued scientists over not predicting natural disasters last year? Who gets sued if / when the Volcano erupts (regardless of the cause- natural or drilling)?
The hate is here because this is insulting. We're not hear to get sold products, for the same reason many of us don't window shop at Best Buy or Radio Shack- the sales staff will push a phone plan or the most expensive, unnecessary tech crap. I don't read most of the articles posted, anyways, because the comments seem to have more content about the subject. Just like this one- I can read the headline and summary, and by reading the comments I now know not to follow the link. If I have to get hammered in order to stomach a site full of crap, I would find something better to do (like get hammered and browse more entertaining sites).
The concept of a "nerd" is going away- now, people who are "good at computers" get the title. They don't hack and tinker in life. This BI crap is the same- it's for people who went to business school and are "good with computers", and ended up a suit somewhere. SlashBI is not for nerds. Its for the bosses of nerds. For those of us who stay true to our roots, and do things, don't need SlashBI. "Geeknet" is failing at this/. thing.
I noticed the same in 2005 and 2007 returning from Iraq... in 2005, a light, cursory search by a couple Marines. Nothing invasive. In 2007, we had to travel to Kuwait to have some pogue sea-bees strip search our shit, like we were criminals. We had to go through explosive detectors (we were in combat 2 weeks prior, carrying explosives) and empty out our pockets- as if one of us, after surviving Fallujah, would want to bring down a plane on our way home. That pissed me off. We couldn't bring any ripped movies back with us, and were threatened with laptop searches.
The 9/11 attacks were a wet dream come true for both the intelligence communities and more specifically, the right side of the Republican party.
I agree with what you're saying... but all sides of the political spectrum, not just the Right, are doing this. Others are just more subtle about it and blame the "extreme Right".
HR isn't going to install and maintain this, and many of the people this is supposed to watch will be involved. If you hire a 3rd party to install, maintain, and monitor, will you trust them more than your employees with such information? Even then, is IT going to expend infrastructure setup and maintain network services for a black box with no "critical" (since IT doesn't know about it, it can't be classified as critical- HR doesn't make that call) function?
I don't think this means much for that... maybe we can find out if putting a dozen warnings on a container's label has any effect on what happens to that container' contents. Besides, my dog recognizes commands from me, and my 3 year old tests nail polish on his claws. Perfectly ethical.
All I had to do was explain to her, with the scientific evidence included, why she was wrong, and then, since as any man knows that isn't going to actually work, flat out make her choose between her backwards ideals and me. I wasn't an asshole about it, but I calmly explained that I wanted children, and if we weren't going to do what is best for their happiness and survival then the relationship was going to end at some point in the future unless she changed her mind.
She picked me. If she hadn't, I've have been sad for awhile, but knowing that I wouldn't have to lose a child to Hepatitis or something years from now would have more than made up for it.
Have you ever heard the (ridiculous) concept that women think men will change? You don't have kids, so she won't try to change you (yet). Your relationship may be different, but in most relationships "mom knows best", no matter the reasoning behind it. Hell, may even be up to her if you get to be on the birth certificate, even if you are married (at least in my state that's how it is). Have some kids, and see if her irrational fear returns. I'm sure she'd still pick you over her irrational fears that were debated away with science. We see that happen all the time.
And yes, "viruses" are not the only kind of malware out there- most people on/. know that. But no one else in my family does, and neither do the vast majority of people those two examples target for marketing. Apple's claim that Mac's don't get "viruses", in my mom's mind, equate to "Apple's don't have malware".
Is it Google's fault that Widget Inc decided to add the key word "blanket" when they make electronic do-dads?... but if Widget Inc says their ideal customer wants to purchase electronic do-dads, the why would Google doubt that?
Wow, is this an indication of a problem? I can't even post a coherent paragraph, much less proofread.
Yeah I noticed the same stuff when I look for certain things in search. False or fake products come up as their ads.
Wouldn't that be more a problem of the advertiser? Advertisers provide key words, which Google posts the advertisements on.

I'm glad we can make a non-infringing block game, now we just need to figure out how to get those blocks to not infringe.
UDP... I like to live in the moment.

Seems odd but im guessing they had a reason for it.
apps (and app stores) are all the rage now... This is to lure unsuspecting investors who don't know this is a gimmick.
This is not proof that the patent and copyright systems need reform... This is proof our justice system works. That's how I would spin it.

What they are asking is that the ship be dismantled and the design reverse engineered in the US, rather than overseas.

The Roman Empire didn't fall on its own.

Seems to me that it is recovering from eight years of misdirection. The former administration's micromanagement made a huge mess.
Huh? So the former administration's micromanagement told NASA to cause climate change and ignore Muslims?
Will be new Apple computer, iDevices, and Intel notebooks. It won't be made by any other manufacturer than those two.

He lost the car in the divorce...
I'm sure that email address is to report the location of a lost and/or stolen prototype, and is emailed directly to the Commissioner.
Can you please provide any links to folks that have claimed that Macs dont' get malware?
Here you go:
Mac Commercial (produced by Apple) and Apple's own webpage
