Aside from being meaninglessly recursive, it's also a definition I expect the FAA to ignore.
I would hope so, too, but Amazon is a large and powerful business now. It isn't the offbeat bunch of nerds selling books via the web and email that it was in 1998. The biz people have climbed aboard and there's government for them to spend on.
A better question would be, why do Chromebooks even have keyboards? Can't you stab at the ads on the Google page with your finger or the huge keyboard-sized touchpad?
I think you meant to say: "A lot of people who obfuscate standards-based marked up text with shitty scripts, ridgid layout and little widgets and dingbats call themselves web designers nowadays."
I was wondering why it was taking so long for a one-button Mac user to chime in.
Furthermore, this whole study seems to have used Mac Users who run Chrome as the whole basis for usage. That's a pretty rarefied sample.
I'd say get rid of those flipper keys on either side of the spacebar that have some weird symbol on them. Make them Windows keys, maybe, for people who've upgraded their Macbook.
I was thinking he was the poor sucker with a first generation iMac where the USB wasn't even 2.0. (and where the firmware is set so that it CANNOT boot from an external USB DVD-ROM drive)
Put some Firewire in that Altivec Unit and let's Retina our way to joyland!
I'm holding onto Windows 7 on my desktop, too. But I am dowloading an ISO to upgrade to Windows 10 on my tablet. Once you've crossed over the threshold of Windows 8, you may as well jump right into the room. I suspect it'll be better than 8.1 on a tablet.
The assets of the company that goes out of business owing money are seized and if possible monetized to realize value for their creditors. This includes IP like corporate records which can include email.
"SoylentNews intends to be a source of journalism"
"Journalists" are the people who flunked out of Calculus, and couldn't get admitted to the English Department. So they transferred to J-School, where hanging out at the Lit Tables in the student union (No Nukes!, etc.) counts as homework.
By 'Drone' Amazon means the equipment they hope to use to deliver product to their customers. However, if said product includes hobbyist drones or drone components, Amazon intends for the customers to not be allowed to do very much with said drones/components. Also, once they're delivering by 'drone' the cost of returning something to Amazon goes up, because the volume of point-to-point shipping that they don't have direct control of goes down.
Bezos wants it all. The guy looks creepier every time I see him in the news.
There will be layers and layers of fat between the software and it's use in improving somebody's life. Believe me, the AAMI wasn't founded to protect the patients. It was to protect the early industry participants from that rabble out there.
You're confused. Lawyers are better used as brakes, not ignition switches.
Select fat lawyers would work as airbags, I suppose. But more for external mounting on the vehicle than in the passenger compartment, because they're messy.
So you're saying that if you're not in the ACM you shouldn't be able to make your tarball of source code available for download? Or are there going to be government stamps issued (presumably complex holograms) that need to be affixed to any software that people are allowed to run?
Obviously the equivalent is a cryographic boot manager. Do you work for Microsoft??
So are you saying small software publishers should be blocked from entry into the market by Government Regulatory Agencies, or are you saying Tort Law can sort it all out with time?
Because if it's the former, how did you wander into Slashdot?
We've all seen the hustle operation that Regulation brings.
Anyone who can write software knows that, for example, electronic voting can be easily fixed.
This isn't meant as red-baiting, but Soviet Party members in 1930 knew that agriculture could be 'fixed' with their scientific methods. They just had to get those kulaks out of the way.
Be very wary of anybody who thinks 'the modern scientific method' has everything figured out, and we just need to put the right people in charge of everything.
I used to believe there would be a process of Convergence in Open Source projects. That is, once something is written and written well, it can only continue to get better and better.
That doesn't work when there are egos involved who insist that, rather than improving the existing code-base, they need to rip it out and do a new major version release.
It makes good business sense in Commercial Software to always have some new shit to sell the userbase.
It doesn't make sense in Open Source, except the ego is always out there. Everybody wants to be the architect and if there's a perfectly good piece of software out there, they instead can only shine the brass on the building that's already there. Or they can take over the project and shitcan the old stuff.
A lot of people can't understand hardware, and are actually terrified of it. They don't get it that a pointer in C is at root a hardware address in the RAM memory.
So they abstract it away.
Much of Computer Science tends toward this kind of denial. "Don't use GOTOs" is ludicrous at it's root, because branches are an essential component of machine language.
People want a little velvet pillow to dance upon, they can't understand there's always going to be a surface composed of dirt down there somewhere.
The buzzword 'Solutions' is a fun one to play with.
When the marketing fuck at your company starts talking about 'Solutions' and/or marketing that crap at you, ask him/her "What about the precipitate? And what are we dissolving, anyway?"
That Union Steward isn't one of my coworkers. He works for the International Union. He is part of the mechanism to siphon off my union dues to pay for the politicians the International can afford to buy and/or the ones that the Union Bosses like the most for whatever reason they choose.

When I first started programming, it was on Teletype ASR-33 terminals, where there WAS no lower case at all.
The TRS-80 Model 1 had no lower case, either, unless you bought a hardware upgrade. I think it was a special ROM you added.
On my KVM, Scroll Lock switches to the next machine.
That's a really good use for it. It also has use in Excel.

We were all, at one point anyways, nerds on Slashdot. Nerds first, and anything else besides.
That's changed somewhat as Slashdot became perceived as being an 'IT' site. But it still holds in the best threads and topics.

I'm just an old redneck from the days of 300 baud, but I like the character set on a discussion forum to be clipped at 7 bits.
Dorks started fooling around with that eighth bit almost as soon as it was allowed.
Industries can in fact police themselves, if there is sufficient motivation and reward.
Unless it's an open membership organization, you just described a cartel.

Clearly you've missed the whole point of the 'gay marriage' movement, then. You only need to tack on a preface if there's something you're afraid of.

Companies will have to hire armies of HR personnel just to weed through
Can't we just come up with a way to convert all that HR human garbage ("personnel" I guess you call them) into compost, or something useful?
