excuse moi but my dinosaur of an os works much better in every respect. just a fucking ssd benchmark doesnt make or break an os. we are not buying oses for running SSDs anyway. we buy it to have our work done.
ancient egypt is THE source of many of your philosophies and sciences. from 1000 BC and onwards, early greeks were coming to egypt for education. egypt had 2 schools - school of life, and school of death. school of life was teaching stuff related to this world, ie, medicine, land registry, writing, government, and school of death taught stuff pertaining to abstract world. not to mention that many of the professions people identify themselves today originated in egypt.
even before knossos was known, medicine men and wise men of egypt were world renowned, even legendary in their time. a LOT of stuff that is ascribed to greeks were what greeks learned in egypt.
trying to label what's being done with pretty technical termage does not change the fact that they are patenting LOGIC processes. they are basically patenting THOUGHT. anyone attempting as such should be penalized for overloading the patent machine.
i see that all my misconceptions about the scientologists and scientology was wrong ! they were quantum angels from the sky. or whatever. yes yes. nazis. and the yellow star. yeees. that. that and a f#@in pair of boots to be fitted into that guy's ass.
Thats 2nd after they managed to kill a mega title like Star Wars Galaxies. And the ceo of its parent company still babbles shit about the internet and whatnot, instead of doing his f@cking job. if he spent a fraction of his time overseeing their divisions, instead of babbling sh@t to shape internet to make up for their gross incompetence, those two mega titles wouldnt go down the drain like this.
guy. do your f@cking job. leave internet, to, well, the internet. wisdom of the crowds is much bigger than your 2 cell brain.
lest they use their mod points to mod down such important and relevant stuff:
I've seen bugs that have been around since Windows 95 in Internet Explorer (since 4.4 until 8.1, there's a limit of 32 tags per page and MS still insists that its only a 4.4 - 6 without saying anything about 7 and that the limit is 31) and in Windows Explorer (when you try to minimize and focus applications, in certain conditions they won't listen. They have changed the way the UI looks, the kernel and added some drivers.
im a web developer and such stuff still plagues us in this industry, EVERYday, making our daily lives harder.
what the parent poster said above says millions about the philosophy of this corporation, and one of you morons modded it down.
next time if you dont know what something is, or if you cant evaluate that the sentence 'since 95 internet explorer 4.4 UNTIL 8.1' does not mean '10 years ago' but SINCE 10 YEARS UNTIL !!!! NOW !!!!!, then dont use your mod point.
thats what has given us the scientific and industrial revolution of 18th and 19th centuries. EVERYTHING we used to build up our modern life today, was discovered in those days as principle. Faraday didnt ask royalties for anyone who developed on his pioneering physics work, lavoisieur didnt try to strangle people using his discoveries, and NOONE came out and spoke sh@t like 'science needs guardlines' like that moron of a sony ceo did.
so we were able to build up today's civilization.
now the sh@tface holistic economists in usa have managed to turn science and technology into a swamp of patents and copyrights today, and noone is able to make a move forward into the future - but hey - its good for 'business' right ?
there are some countries which need to revise their entire culture and political and business philosophy.
no, greenspan has everything to do with antitrust issues.
the philosophy the republicans, holistic economists, and their church leader alan greenspan preached in america for the last 30 years was 'deregulation'.
'hands off' they said. government should not meddle in they said. it kills jobs and productivity they said.
as a result of this pressure they caused the assemblies (which they controlled anyway) and the public accept a total lack of regulation of businesses in united states. they could do everything they pleased, as you can remember from the horrible hedge fund and default credit swap scam. basically they were let be without getting any law enforced upon them.
the shitface practices of intel, microsoft are side products of this unlawful culture.
you should also remember that, something that has not been legislated into law word by word, exactly as illegal does not mean that that concept is not a monopoly, antitrust violating concept. it may not be legislated as antitrust violating yet, but it is. and therefore eu acted as needed.
what is made illegal by the laws can not be legalized or made binding by contracts in between two parties, even if two parties agree on the terms.
ie, in a remote example, you cant put a slavery clause to a contract, and when someone, knowingly or knowingly signs this contract, expect it to be binding or legal.
actually if you havent dropped a line in the contract saying 'if any of the terms in this contract is found to be unlawful, that will not invalidate any other legitimate term in the contract', then your ENTIRE contract goes pooof.
well, at least it is how it is in turkey anyway.
but i dont think it should be any different in u.s.. legal teams put ANYthing into contracts, not because they think they will hold - actually they know most terms will not hold in a court - but to SCARE off less legally apt people from suing them or pursuing their rights.
actually those people preparing such contracts should be sued, and penalized. there should be a penalty for trying to pass illegitimate clauses into a deal by writing them into contract. if you gotta prepare a contract, you gotta prepare it by the law.
with your logic one can go as far to say 'life is unsafe'. and everyone should be accepting of the fact that anyone they encounter in life can give out their information to anyone for any purpose etc.
but as you very well know, this is bullshit. there are social contracts in life. you expect your contractor not to tell all the entry and exit venues and possibilities to your house to local burglars. you expect your car mechanic not to tell local car thieves on how to best break into your car and steal your stereo. but more importantly, you expect these to withhold information from 3rd parties who are neither burglars or thieves, but may sell the information to anyone. not that riaa are not thieves or burglars though.
therefore your approach is bullshit. it may be internet, but there are social contracts and conventions. we dont register in sites to have our information peddled to anyone that may see fit to use them as they pleased. definitely, not the legalese exploiters and blackmailers, the riaa.
actually usage of turban and other wear that hides women is illegal according to the reforms instituted by m kemal. the fact that the dumbfucked islamofascists in turkey and their predecessors did not seek to implement these rules and laws properly does not mean otherwise. something being legalized and enforced are two different things. just as in the example of hats for govt. officials. in turkey laws state that government workers have to wear panama hats, since 1930s. it is still that way. but the law is not enforced.
thats the problem with turkey anyway. irresponsibility, unruliness, disrespect of rules and law are the norms.
come ooooooooon. i hate turkish nationalism as much as anyone else but the fact is that midnight express was made controversial only through usage of made up bullshit. both the director of the movie and the person who lived the actual story have openly stated these. that is a movie, it doesnt reflect actuality.
you are right. you proved your point. the ENTIRE eu machine, thousands of bureaucrats, thousands of regulators, the most transparent social machine in the world, fined intel just because they wanted to, despite there was nothing illegal........ get real. drop that fuckin greenspanism.
directly paying to vendors so that they will drop the competitor is NOT legal in any countries. you can reduce your price, you can provide various incentives with supply, or ordering, but you CANT directly PAY funds to corporations so that they will only use your funds.
if you think that is ethical, and should be legal as in united states, you deserve to step into the same financial grave with alan greenspan.
if something exists, it cant be patented. you need to INVENT it, or create it.
trying to differentiate the thing with adding 'having' the gene is a very lame attempt to justify this kind of stupidity. what's next ? 'imagining' and 'thinking' about the genes are 2 new potential patentable things ?
please. drop that bullshitty alan greenspan grade holistic economy/republican mindset. its soooo 6 months ago.
for you dont know shit about what you are talking. the fine is not to 'force' anything on anyone, its to punish intel because they have BRIBED computer manufacturers so that they would use intel chips and not amd. BRIBE. mark that word. bribe is something that is not allowed in a free competitive market economy.

brush up on your history.

egyptian civilization started well around 4000 BC and lasted until 400 BC. thats around 3600 years.
eastern roman empire is from ad 250 ish to ad 1453.
EVEN if you add entire roman empire history unto that, which makes from 500 BC to 1453 AD, it still makes 2000 years. doesnt come anywhere near egypt.
i see that all my misconceptions about the scientologists and scientology was wrong ! they were quantum angels from the sky. or whatever. yes yes. nazis. and the yellow star. yeees. that. that and a f#@in pair of boots to be fitted into that guy's ass.
yea. so the grounds for modding it down is '4.4 never having existed', and '8.1 being a joke'.
great to see the pains web developers going through while developing because of ie series proved to be bullsh@t.
Thats 2nd after they managed to kill a mega title like Star Wars Galaxies.

guy. do your f@cking job. leave internet, to, well, the internet. wisdom of the crowds is much bigger than your 2 cell brain.
cant these tweaks be implemented in Xp with a service pack, instead of a whole new o/s ?

and how many apps and games out there that use even 2 cores ?
and saying that is a lot, when it comes from a turk, like me.

you have no place here, with that kind of language. go back to digg.
you are right. you proved your point. the ENTIRE eu machine, thousands of bureaucrats, thousands of regulators, the most transparent social machine in the world, fined intel just because they wanted to, despite there was nothing illegal ........ get real. drop that fuckin greenspanism.
this is part of why im donating to EFF frequently anyways. even if my donations are small. im sure there are many like me.
