It's a point of pshycology. These people want to consume because it gives them pleasure. But they don't want to get fat. I guess the human mind doesn't function with the laws of efficiency:-P
exactly his point, at least a bean counter can count beans! Economists... All sciences make assumptions. Physics sometimes assumes that there is no air (void) and sais that all items fall with the same speed, acceleration, etc. Economics have to do about human behavior. Nature is consistent. Humans are unpredictable and unreliable.
The way I see it: economics = mathematics + psychology
And things don't get worse with malware? It's been getting worse for at least 15 years.
Anyway, you didn't like the analogy with the nuclear war? Well, then omit it and keep only the point: just because something is possible doesn't mean it is going to happen. Anything is possible but I need facts, not suspisions.
Yes it is possible. Anything is possible. But the point is, what makes you think that there is malware on all these places? Just because something is possible doesn't mean it will happen. A nuclear war between USA and USSR was possible in the 60s and 70s but didn't happened.
All I am saying is I need something more than just a suspicion.
Author also totally ignores Adobe not providing any 64bit support for OS X because Apple dropped the ball on Carbon x64bit support that has been promised forever from Apple. I challenge you to give me a link with that "forever" promise.
Apple never promised that Carbon would go on forever. From day one, they said it would be a transitional API to help developers get ready for Cocoa. Although it wasn't nice that Apple dropped support so suddenly (they announced it one year before it gets dropped) it is Adobe's fault dragging its feet. Lightroom is a Cocoa application because Adobe knew that Carbon would get dropped.
It is legal to beat your wife if she "dishonors" you in Iran? I didn't knew that. Perhaps that is the case. But how many invasions Iran did to other countries and how many the US did the last 100 years? The US has made operating in pretty much every place! Iraq, Somalia, Korea, Yogoslavia, south America,... and the list goes on and on.
Iran isn't a big power like US. It doesn't cause the same trouble.
(And please note that I don't agree with beating for "dishonoring")
But... if Microsoft ponies up a few buckazoids and delivers some value to OLPC such that it helps OLPC meets its goals One of the goals of the project (originally, before Negroponte went to bed with Microsoft) was to be open, and Free as in freedom. Microsoft cannot help wit that.
It'd be trivial to write a program to harvest hundreds of accounts in a day by just picking random answers. Trivial eh? Well write it and send them the program. Help them make it better.
rapidshare.com has a good captcha that requires more complex things than just entering words. For example, it asks to enter letters that have an animal attached to them.
MSDOS doesn't run in modern hardware, XP does. In today's hardware XP is faster than Vista. Microsoft can extend the hardware support of XP if they want to.
IE doesn't run quite that well on Wine as it does on Windows natively. Unfortunatelly. That is the bad news.
The good news is that you can run versions 3 to 7 in Windows pretty easily! First you install IE7 and then you get MultipleIEs which installs versions 3 to 6. I am running versions 5 to 7 simultaneously!:)

Just in case you weren't joking :-P

I consider the movie as an adaptation of the comic book. They both have their good points.
That is an psycho-analitical comment :-P
But, seriously, I agree with this point of view.
To play the devil's advocate here, you can find the EULA on the vendor's website. Like for WinXP.
Yes. Microsoft is the devil in our eyes, and not without a reason (many in fact :P).
Stop doing business in Brazil.
Yes. However, by having a (yet) uncrackable captcha you can slow them down. Feeding the captchas to humans is doing it much harder for the spammers.
Tell me the alternatives. I am not trolling, I just want to know.
to the NSA was the original slogan :-P

Who cares about Nvidia's source code. All we need is the specifications for their hardware. We will write our own drivers. Look at what ATI is doing.
I wanted to see the link, but it returns an 404 error. Can you please check it? I would like to read the executive compensation.
Thank you.
What was the website?

If you are running Windows get Foxit Reader. It's as fast as Notepad. If you are on Linux, xpdf it very fast too.
