Jurors aren't allowed to go digging anywhere once the case has started. Thanks to the 6 degrees effect, they're only 6 links away from a biased media piece on their case, and once they see it, they can't rationally "forget it". The key trick to jury of "peers" is that your peers are not experts on the random topics that come up in trials, so you have to bank on their overall character.
What if some group of companies decided it was good lateral strategy to shake up the status quo and cranked out some 7 high powered games for Linux only, no DRM, fitted for about 7 of the best distros? Forget "ROI" etc, do it just to create total envy to make make both the Windows camps and Apple fans drool with envy. (Same vein, pay for 30 devs for 2 years to spruce up the "boring" connecting stuff all over the Linux landscape.)
It would be like turning the Bazaar into the Linux Mall. The problem with Dollar Counting on Linux at the moment is you're starting from the defensive. "Invest in the platform" - the problem is not unlike the problems facing Education. You can't count each dollar with a factoid earned by X students. All you know is that suddenly after an influx into a school system all the holistic measurements "just sorta magically" begin to rise.
Since both MS and Apple will hate this, the consortium needs to be a rather left field group. Just for giggles let's try Google-Opera-EFF-AMD-Nvidia and three big studios.
Actually I'm quite pleased with this, because most ultra junk pages are basic so far.
Given our front page stories, this is Google implementing this, not Yahoo. So all you have to do is put about 4 sanity-check algorithms behind it to check coherence and that should nuke most of the cheap SEO attempts for "round 1".
I'm having run searching on Advanced. I'm a cardinal member of the Teal Deer club. It's proving really funny for NSFW searches!
Isn't this a vital piece of data on how the Cloud works?
Grow something "free as in beer" until people get used to it, then "monetize" it. But like a small country that can't float forever like the US can, it's whipping around to "needing money or it shuts down". I ought to download one of the static shots and look at it locally.
I can't help thinking the whole Cloud theme is like a giant flytrap. Wikipedia is an early endgame result.
Nah. That would get you sent to jail by the current witch hunt crew.
Real men embed their data in the spatial planning of real objects. (Best scene ever in Ironman 2. "Dammit, Dad's been dead for 20 years and he still schooled me again today.")
I first heard about "consumerization" from our tech guy a little while ago, because I ended up being an "early adopter".
When companies want to play the "Economy Stinks - IT Freeze", users will say "well shoot, I'll bring in my own".
Yes, there are some technical issues to solve, but I like to focus on "the real reason" of things. So if someone says "___ costs too much", "voila - cost is now zero. Next objection?"
(Rhetoric) I am not a stupid cow waiting for slaughter! I am unique! I celebrate my identity that lets me stand out from the crowds! I am an Archeopteryx! However, unique still doesn't beget intelligence, so they'll still get me, just with different tricks. (/Rhetoric)
I'm disturbed why synch is "so hard". For whatever program you're using at a particular moment, it should be a snap to designate one active copy and X superseded copies. Then when another device with a superseded copy shows up, just synch it (or back-synch the Cloud copy, and with an advanced manual permission option).
My current opinion is that the Cloud Services vendors actively work to squash localizing copies of their programs. For example, I don't yet know of an easy "Yahoo Mail Offline" app.
I support RMS's view here - we risk literally becoming Cloud of Fortune. Would you like to buy a vowel?
You're close to flamebait but I'll try to dig you out with a reply.
"Meaningful" means that of all reform passed, there is a subset of that reform which qualifies as health care reform. However, up to now it's been patchwork issues. "Meaningful" reform has been on some five Presidents' agendas and gotten torpedoed by Politics As Usual. The most famous proponent to get crunched was Hillary Clinton. This was just when the Repub's started hitting grand slams with the voters and vowed to crush anything she proposed.
Now that we see it a parsec away, can we stop it? I was too naive the first time around to see round 1 coming.
Unlike prior "scare excuses" this one doesn't have an end point. Notice this one is not "terrorists", but "treason" - a new verse in their song. Don't forget Copyright in the VP role for excuses to lock down the net. And yes, we have nice tasty locked down i-devices all ready in the wings.
Thought Experiment: (Insert Applicable year) Can they ban Windows below Version 8 "as too dangerous in a post-Wikileaks world"?
Also in Tinfoil Hat territory, I'm far from convinced that this isn't being orchestrated by the gov with the material being sacrificial. Remember the key articles early on "this material has been fed to newspapers months ahead and diplomats have been preparing for the release"? WAY too fishy.
Hmm. I've done okay so far with tiered emails, because lots of sites are hooked on the whole "sign in" thing. As for "not sure why they require email addresses", if you put on your techie hat, content they show to a logged in user gets marked with a different profile than a Noel Coward. Hulu is a lead example of this, hiding some "mature" shows behind the login wall. They also tweak the ad spread with it.
I'm dreading having to use a password manager to manage my 3-off visits all over the web.

Aren't these the countries always hitting YRO for opressive initiatives?

Not sure quite where you're headed with that note.
This seemed to me to be more about "corporate boredom" aka ROI calculations. Put another way, it's like the blockbuster mentality of movies.
I liked the Long Tail mood of the net for a long time. Get an idea, and sure enough, a 40 person forum already existed for it.
Now these megacorps are closing down iconic net stuff, *instead of giving someone else a chance to spin it off*.
Maybe it was that Star Trek virus!

Actually, you found something...
Anything goes on screen, but the fashions in real life haven't really changed in 50 years if you skip over the 60's.
That's a little depressing.
I think you're on the right track.

Check out the Advanced Search options.
I have added links to Advanced Searches to my jump pages because "or" searching is beyond epically craptastic.
I go with an exact phrase, must have ___ word, and must not have ------- other word and toggle results to 100 per page.
