it all depends on what is used to generate the electricity.. one big cole-plant is easier to replace than millions of little poluting devices.. so we really need to start replacing those little machines assoon as possible.. electricity can be generated with non polluting and endless ways...
but the prius isn't an all electric car, it does have a 'combustion-engine' on board... (except forcthe latest all electric prius, but that one is new and the prius model you refer to)
how about sueing the company which claim to have ip about the virus, as they claim it's theirs, so they are therefor responsible for it, which makes them liable for any result the virus brings....
Yet another programming language for lazy developers..... There are already too many flavors of developmentlanguages, everybody wants his/hers to prevail and is trying to come up with reasons why their language is better.. stop this BS.. looking at a lot of those 'spinoff' languages I mostly see stuff added in comparison to the 'standard-languages' which are clearly for lazy developers who don't know (or want to know) what they are doing.. And in the end all we end up with are slower applications even though our hardware is getting faster and faster, but due to the slow applications we hardly notice it when we upgrade hardware and software.. A great example is Android, when ported to C# (which already is also a 'slower' language/compiler as using real native compilation without a.NET framework) it was about 40%!!!! faster on average, which would mean an older device would run the same stuff just as good as a newer device with the current android, something tell's me it's a waste of my money to buy a faster device.. but then again, there are enough people who just don't give a damn..
I agree raiding his house was too much, but he shouldn't have published the book without permission.. What the publisher should have done is ask the teacher to remove the book (even though it's propably too late anyway, but raiding his house doesn't help there either)..
But we don't know if the publisher did indeed first ask the teacher to remove it, and maybe he might have just refused to do it, and therefore the house was raided (in that case the raid was IMHO ok (if no violence was used))..
And how do we know this really is created by microsoft? It is true what the ad says, but I'm very hassitant to believe this is created by MS just because someone on the internet says so.. Unless MS confirms it, I'm gonna go with it being created by someone outside of MS without the knowledge of MS and is using MS for his/her 15 minutes of fame..
i can't agree more with you, having updated my ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10 and i had some weird problems, finally had them resolved, i got another question to upgrade to 13.04... i should have never said yes, and another shitload of problems arose.. now i almost fixed it, but even with trying to develop through linux (because ther still isn't a windows sdk released yet), i have also run into a lot of problems trying to get it running.. so people claiming linux is better than windows(for people who don't live and breath linux) should just get their head out of their ass.. Yes it's much better as a few years ago, but it still has a long way before being as userfriendly as windows (although windows 8 is imho going steps back in being userfriendly)...
I've been using windows since 3.0 and never had this much problems with just updating through the standard update mechanism..
Oh, that just the biggest fail.. do it right the first time What is right? So everything you write NOW will be looked at upon in a couple of years just the same why didn't he do it right the first time?

Well.. 'Best coding practices' is all in the eye of the beholder.. what one calls best practice might look awfull to another.. there really is no 'best coding practices'..
What a moron is this stallman. Having DRM baked in 'HTML5' is exactly what it needs to get even more aproval and usage, otherwise plugins like flash and silverlight will still be needed.. The advantage of having it standarized in 'HTML5' is that plugins aren't needed anymore so every platform can use it. It's not like you HAVE to use DRM as a webdeveloper.. Otherwise you can also say that stuff like webworkers and videotags should also be excluded from the 'HTML5' standard.
DRM is sadly needed because tons of people are too lame to just pay for content they 'enjoy', in the end all you get it 'america funniest homevideo' like content if nobody pays or you'll end up with 2 hour long commercials..
What real reason would there be for not including a possibility for using DRM, as other unnecessary JUNK has already been approved for the 'HTML5' standard.. As I said, no webdeveloper who doesn't want to use DRM will have any problem with it, and webdevelopers who do need to use DRM (for whatever reason) can use it without the pain of having to resort to external plugins which are not available on a lot of platforms these days (flash for instance isn't available on android anymore (unless you already installed it, but even then a browser like chrome doesn't support it)).
What kind of incompentent admin's do they have, how can you get to a 130.000 euro costs for cleaning up a f-ing virus.. They should fire all those people at their spots, even a f-ing IT-student could solve the problem.. What kind of moronic IT-department do they have.. And you wonder why we commoners are angry at our so called leaders, if they waste our precious taxmoney on stuff like this.. Getting serious people to do the job would save billions in tax money, seeing how money is wasted, 130.000 euro for cleaning up a virus on 170 PC's... geesh... somebody really does get rich with all those kind of goverment contracts...
if DRM is added to the 'HTML5' standard, then there is no problem on all devices which support 'HTML5' standard, so what the hell are they talking about. Also, if DRM is available in the 'HTML5' standard, it doesn't mean you have to use it..
It's simple, if DRM isn't part of the 'HTML5' standard then external plugins are still mandatory for certain webservices, so you won't be able to watch stuff through certain devices since plugins tend to be platform specific..
DRM is sadly a necessity which you just have to learn to live with.. people are so lame these days, they want everything for free.. If DRM in 'HTML5' is standarized it shouldn't be a problem to watch any content you like on any 'HTML5' device.. And as I said in other topics, let's not forget 'HTML5' is still not finalized, it's still in development, so even features of 'HTML5' which are already finalized are still missing from some browsers..
Yes, DRM is sadly needed, but if implemented correctly there shouldn't be any problem on any HTML5 device.. I say, just give people the option, it's better to have it in the standard than forcing people to use a plugin to get the same result but with fewer people being able to use it on all their devices..
And that's because they are still working out the details of what vendor-prefixed options should become a standard.. but even then, we're still stuck with the vendor-prefix options that are already available, making it the same crap as before where you have to keep in mind what browser you are targeting, and that's not what a good standard is about.. And Chrome/Opera/FF/Safari/IE all have their quircks, there is NO good browser which really sticks to the already set parts of the HTML5 standard (except from what I hear IE10).
Uhm.. the reason Google want to fork is also because they want more control over it, and it's Google who is trying to push their formats down our throats instead of using already available 'standards'. Also let's not forget at the moment that 'HTML5' is still in development (it's still not finalized), yet it's used in production now which ofcourse is actually a fubar thing to do..
What has Assange done for technologies over the previous years, all he did was publish edited parts of some so called secret documents nothing more, nothing less?
And how would a DRM standard inhibit the openness of HTML5? It's just like the video tag, you don't have to use it. And it certainly has nothing to do with openness of internet as currently the same people are using flash or silverlight.. The advantage of having a DRM standard in HTML5 is not having to use plugins like flash or silverlight. I certainly don't know why a lot of people are so opposed to having DRM options in HTML5, as a developer you're not forces to use them if you don't want to.. And existence of DRM in itself is something people are responsible for themselves, if they just had bought everything nicely in the past instead of just ripping it without paying, DRM would never have been a necessity (yes as a user you may say it's not necessary, but try and view it from a content producer's standpoint).
You forget within that kilomile you'll need to 'refuel' the 'battery' a few times with water (and I guess it won't be regular tap-water)..
Also let's not forget that shipping al those replacement batteries are propably more costly (and therefore raising the price of one) than having a regular tanker..
I'm sorry, but taking a snapshot and putting it up on twitter with a comment like that is something that should be illegal.. The developers never asked her for putting it in public, what I have to say to a collegue is non of her business even if it's offensive, and yes if it's offensive then she should SPEAK to the persons in question, not use twitter.. What ever happened to freedom of speech.. If the dev's were targetting her specifically with sexual comments, then it's a whole different matter..
It's complete BS that DRM inhibits innovation.. People just want everything for free but want to get paid themselves as much as possible.. A contentcreator has enough problems with getting their investment back these days with all the illegal ripping of their work.. DRM should be a part of the W3C standards, and it's up to the websitecreators to use it or not.. As long as DRM isn't part of the W3C standards you'll keep external plugins like Flash or Silverlight, and that's something you really don't want.. so better to have standard and being able to NOT use it than not having a standard when you need to use it.. Noone is forcing you to use the DRM standard when available (except your client).. Sadly DRM is a necessity these days, so better have one standard than having to resort to some vague external plugin..
I have the absolute natural right to videotape anything my eye can behold, period.
Actually you're wrong there m8... Yes you have the right to videotape it, NO you don't have the right to publish the videotape without consent from the people in it, you are liable for prosecution if you do make the tape public..
Yeah, it is your right, but you must know that a lot of people don't appreciate the Google Glass when they are filmed with it in public, so better be ready to be beaten up for it by some people.. Personally I think stuff like google glasses are a big privacy issue, and no it's not the same as being filmed with a normal videocam..
The owner of this bar is someone who at least has half a brain to bar the device from his bar.. If the device was only for displaying content I wouldn't have any problems with it, but it also is able to record everything, and that's where the problem lies, yes it's fun for the one who wairs it, but not fun for the people who are recorded by it.. If you want your complete life on the internet well that's your choice, but don't make that choice for others, so try to respect other's privacy..
You really think Iran is this disadvantaged technologywise? think again.. You really are blind if you think opponents are decades behind US technology, only an american would think that as he's blind to whatever happens in the rest of the world.. blocking/disturbing radio signals isn't really difficult and can be done with fairly cheap electronics..
