I disagree. If one is to make an educated decision, it should be over an educated issue. If there's an EULA five thousands words long, there's too much detail to make an educated guess.
EULAs and other agreements such as the mentioned in TFA should be less than five hundred words long, otherwise they are void unless signed by the user's lawyer as well.
They are just beta testing, as usual. In a few decades lots and lots of what today is dry land will be underwater. They could wait a bit and claim they are showing underwater imagery but no, it's Google, they need a beta.
Yeah, I know, I know... how is the web going to survive without ads, my servers are down, karma whore... who cares, I just don't want to click Next six times.
He's right, most people don't understand that good marketing is not about promotions only, and definitely isn't sales. Good engineers will tell you how to do things, how long it will take to do them, and will come up with some good ideas. Good product marketing will tell you what to do, how to present it, even how to charge for it. And good sales people will assist your customers in choosing what to buy, how to buy and gently tell them to pay good prices for these great products your marketing and engineers guys built.
Windows: You run the software you want, according to your business interests, but don't expect support for old software. You can't fix it yourself, and your clients will think you are weird for running Windows 3.11. OSS: You run the software you want, according to your business interests, but don't expect support for old software. You can fix it yourself though, but you'll have to learn how to fix it. And your clients will think you are weird anyway.
Not much difference here. Let's bitch about MS on real issues. Ok, some imaginary ones are allowed from time to time. But you'll have to promise to keep your software updated!
Actually lots of those uncontacted tribes are known and are photographed from time to time. However they exact location and the pictures is not disclosed often, because even though the jungle is huge someone would certainly try to reach them, and it would be difficult to prevent it from happening. The expert did this as a media stunt to draw attention to the protection of the areas these tribes live.
No, it isn't. A short answer would be "What is a discovery and what is an invention?", and a slightly longer one would be "This question has no logical answer, just as asking if mathematics is red or blue has no logic. There are not enough axioms defined in it to deduce an answer". I'm not a mathematician, but I think that the main problem to give an answer to that question is that the definitions of what is a discovery and what is an invention are not clear enough.
Is creating a music, building an artificial molecule, writing a working method, coding an algorithm an "invention" because they don't exist prior to human intervention or a "discovery" because there's the potential for these things to exist or be described, i.e., they are not impossible? If the answer to that question is "discovery", what is an "invention" then? Because finding a continent, observing an atom, meeting a person, locating a planet is usually described as a "discovery". [citation needed] So, is everything an "invention"? Couldn't we come up with a better word to describe it all?
Once these terms are clearly defined (or, as I see it, once it's defined if everything is a "discovery" or if there's clear division between "discovery" and "invention" or it there's no clear division on the terms to label acquired knowledge) in the question, I think an answer can be given.
Asimov and Clarke... I hope there will be more like them in my lifetime. Even if everything else fails with the future, we can at least say it looked fascinating and real when Clarke wrote about it.
I have problems with hotmail on windows with FF2. I have problems with Hotmail on FF2 too. And with Hotmail on FF1. And on IE7. And IE6. And Opera. And... hold on, I see a pattern!

Someone can throw the latter through the window from the fifth floor in case of fire and hope it will survive, while I had a HD worth tens of movies (just worth... cough, cough) that died from a 1,5 m fall. Plus, I can explain anyone how to take care of a reel (keep on a safely closed place, out of humidity, direct sunlight, check it periodically and don't torch it).
You take money for a two hours course on how to take care of the place for six caretakers, salaries for three shifts a day with two caretakers at a time, payment for yearly visits of a security expert, investments in some fire prevention, security and environment monitoring material every five years, yearly bonuses, "update courses" and raises, good retirement plans and you can keep thousands of reels safe for decades at a relatively low cost.

How many common sense "truths" have turned out to be not so true when properly analyzed over the history of human scientific endeavor?
Give me some anecdotal evidence of that.

Some quotes of what the expert said to Brazilian's newspaper O Globo http://oglobo.globo.com/pais/mat/2008/05/29/grupo_de_indios_fotografado_pela_1_vez_no_acre-546561413.asp: "There are notices of their existence since 1910."
"I know nothing about them, and the idea is to keep it this way."
"While they receive us with spears, they'll be fine. But when they become nice, they're done."

Now I'll have to find something else in pre 1.0 to use and childly complain about...

Can I claim that this large file on my hard drive is actually a random bunch of bytes, not an encrypted file system on a file?
indeed... a dupe solar system.
The video would be perfect if at the end he triggered an alarm after closing the hatch.
Beep beep.
So now I can get sick and tired of playing these motherfuckin' Snake® on this motherfuckin' plane on my motherfuckin' cell phone?
Will he dream?
Will we keep dreaming?

Now surgical mask sales will soar as high as tin-foil hats sales.
