It works that way in the US too. You have to have a special switch that disconnects your house any time the power goes out otherwise your solar panels can electrocute the line workers who are trying to fix the problem.
Only if the house is right at sea level. If the land rises at all from the shore to the house it probably would still poke up through the wave, at least until it falls.
They don't really want those things either. They just want someone to think for them and that someone is Apple. If Apple, or Steve Jobs (I'm not sure which it is the fanbois are so loyal to) were to decide that black is the new white, pear is the new apple and p is the new i they would dump all those unhip white apple oldster iX devices and wait in line that very day (all day) for their new shiny black pear pX devices.
Actually that would be a pretty good move on Apple's part. It would be much cheaper on the R&D than actually adding any features. It would get their fanbois to upgrade even faster too since those old white phones would stick out so prominently in the sea of black. No one want's everyone to know how uncool they are. Spouses would be embarrassed to be seen with one another. Singles would go to Starbucks and not get laid. Kids would go to school and get beat up because their parents sent yesterday's phone with them. Just look how well that strategy has worked for the clothing industry!
What an outrage! The president of the US shouldn't be polite to dictators, he should slap them all on the face with a dueling glove. That way the number of wars we are in at one time can be in at least 2 if not 3 digits! Spread those troops thin like butter on diet toast! That will help matters and make the world a better place!
7 years? That means he will probably be out within one. I'm assuming he managed to squirrel away some of that money where it wouldn't be found. He's got his retirement set.
I get it that nothing will be around forever, includig Java but javascript and html never stop changing! I bet the java version still works longer than the new one does.
When I saw how much 2007 was laid out different from everything that came before it I hoped there would be a switch to OO, which actually IS more like what a 2003 user would be used to. But it didn't happen. They just made the switch to 2007. And yet, the switch to OO would be too much trouble?
This isn't about Microsoft claiming to have a change of heart or wanting to be friends with anybody, genuine or fake. Microsoft is a large corporation run by business executives. Business types don't see themselves or their actions as moral or immoral. They see them as amoral. Think... like a shark. It doesn't kill because it's evil, it kills because it's a shark and that's what a shark does. If Microsoft execs see a benefit to Microsoft in playing nice with OSS developers then that is what Microsoft will do. The OSS community might as well take advantage of it. As soon as the execs see it the other way however they will return to the same old stuff. No one should ever be fooled into thinking Microsoft is their friend. The legal system decided long ago that the only responsibility that corporate executives have is to their own corporations bottom line regardless of how many other lives their decisions affect. The business world and the minds of the people in it have been completely shaped by this fact and that is the world we live in. Might as well take advantage of it when it does work in your favor because it's going to work the other way another time too.
We need more traitors like that. People should not be allowed to kill indiscriminately regardless of who they are or what their position is. Have you actually read any of the documents he leaked? Soldiers were gunning down whole families because there may possibly have been some terrorists nearby. If our country is going to be doing that then "We the People" need to put an end to it and we can't do that if we don't know what is going on. Afterall, "We the People" are the source of the government in the US, right? If not then worse traitors than Bradly Manning have already done their damage and the wrong traitor is on trial. How can we "form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" when the crooks and murderers in charge may hide from us everything important that is going on?
It would be stupid for the US government to bring him here at this time. Even here in the US there are still enough free thinkers left to make that controversial. If he gets convicted in Sweden then he is out of their hair anyway. Worse than that his reputation is thoroughly trashed and would probably never recover. If he is extradited the opposite could occur, he could become a martyr. If the US got involved at all I think it would be to ensure the outcome of the rape trial, not to extradite him. I'm sure they will be watching the trial closely and extradite him if it looks like he might get off though.
Even in states where it is legal licensed farmers are heavily regulated and can only grow so much. This means it cannot be grown in the quantities necessary to replace wood which grows back much slower or petroleum. Also, it is not legal in any state. That was the point that got this thread started, not getting high. Also, the federal government still officially bans it in the entire US even if a state allows it. Whether they are currently actively enforcing it or not in those states there is still the possibility of the feds breaking down your door at any time they chose to.
Is anybody buying Windows phones anymore anyway? It looks like it's all iPhone and Android from here served with a side of BlackBerry. I bet they don't port QT to FreeDOS, Haiku or Syllable either!
Because you can't opt out of it. Sure, it's a tough world out there and some people are better off with their hands held. That's no reason that the person who paid for the phone shouldn't get to make that decision. Android will not let you install things from outside the market until you check a box on a window which contains a warning that this might be dangerous. I think that is a good balance and if some people hang themselves with that rope then that is their problem.
Yes, I know most phones are subsidized but you pay for that subsidy by ceding your right to switch carriers. Or you pay the penalty fee if you switch anyway. That is still a payment.
Awwe, how cute. A moon landing conspiracy theorist. Shouldn't you be out hunting bigfoot or something? Maybe you would have a better time catching him if you weren't wearing that tinfoil hat. He probably sees the shine!
Wow, I didn't know that all the people who live in the country and still have buggies (for recreation) or even as their main vehicles (such as the Amish) and all those buggy drivers you find in touristy areas selling rides are using antique whips! What will they do when they run out? At what point will the renaming whip supply be so low that they are too valuable to use anymore and must go into a museum? Maybe I should get one while I can so I can reverse engineer it before that day comes. I'll be rich!!!

Woosh!

A guy at nasa wrote the 3c503 and 3c509 linux drivers for a beowulf cluster he built there. Those drivers are in the main kernel now.
I think this was a joke?

Data after this point are still being finalized. Interpret them with caution.
They probably have more pressing matters to attend to right now. Then again... so does the other side.
Nahh...

That's naive.
In the late 1700s you could ask someone in the US. It happened again in both the 18 and 1960s. Too bad so few get it now.

Great! Let's give an extra kick to all the satellites carrying reality tv then!!!
More awesome yet, I want to see someone drop a new battery in one of the old lunar buggies left by Apollo. It'd be sweet if it actually still works!
