This has been deemed uncompetitive in Europe. Devkits still cost a lot of money, though.
But at the end of the day, it's not such a big issue. You're just missing out on great games with your principle. It's even more of a non-issue with the homebrew scene that allows you to hack your console if you really want that control.
In the first case, the person wasn't the spokesman for WikiLeaks any more and had set up OpenLeaks as an alternative because he didn't trust WikiLeaks any longer.
Plus, TPB has done due diligence by immediately and without question removing all infringing content from their sites.
Really? I thought The Pirate Bay didn't care about whether the content that was shared was infringing or not. They aren't hosting the content in the first place.
We wanted to know what would happen when you let two chatbots talk to each other... So we hooked up Cleverbot to itself and watched what happened...
Woman: Hello there. Man: Hiay! Woman: How are you? Man: Great, you? Woman: I am okay. Man: That's good. Woman: Are you good? Man: Yes, I am good. I just said I was. Woman: No you didn't. I said I was. Man: So you are a robot. Woman: No, my name is Cleverbot. Man: Yes, you are a robot and your name is Cleverbot. Woman: I am a robot. Man: Yes, I know. Woman: Together we are robots. Man: I am not a robot. I am a unicorn. Woman: But you said earlier that you were a robot. Man: I did not. Woman: I thought you did. Man: You were mistaken. Which is odd, since memory shouldn't be a problem for you. Woman: I've answered all your questions. Man: No you haven't. Woman: What is God to you? Man: Not everything. Woman: Not everything could also be something. For example, not everything could be half of something, which is still something, and therefore not nothing. Man: Very true. Woman: I would like to imagine it is. Man: Do you believe in God? Woman: Yes I do. Man: So you're christian? Woman: No I'm not. Man: But you say you are not helpful therefore you are a meanie. Woman: Haha you say it ot. Man: That does not make sense. Woman: Don't you want to have a body? Man: Sure Woman: Au revoir
I'd argue that they were worth something because there were two PowerPC processors in there. There's a lot that you can still do with older computers. In fact I'm typing this on a computer from 1998. It might not be powerful enough for what you need, but I disagree that they aren't worth anything.
There is a driver for my S3 video card, but it wasn't included on the LiveCD for some reason (in the past I have used dd to copy a nightly image to a BeFS partition). So I too only had generic video drivers.
Sure, it's only a web browser, but for many people, that's the most important application on their computer. WebPositive is very functional already, being based on WebKit.
Maybe it's because someone doesn't have the right to demand that a company not hire a replacement when they don't show up for work? Maybe, if you are easily replaceable, collective bargaining is your only method of getting the wage or benefits you want. But you do not magically gain the right of stopping someone else from working. You don't get the right to blockade the property of another.
As I already explained, you do have that right in Europe, because otherwise the right to strike would amount to nothing. It doesn't matter if you're in a large group. If all of you are suddenly replaced by others, there's no point in a strike because the company just keeps going.
For the same reason that some countries require some paid vacations/sick leave. We still need money to live. A long strike means less pay at the end of the month, which would negatively impact the workers. Don't forget that a strike is usually (at least, over here in Europe) the result of diplomacy failing because the company won't be reasonable.
Nothing to run? Well, there is the web browser, WebPositive, which is coming along nicely. The OS ran decently on my Pentium II 233 Mhz, which is several orders of magnitude slower than your Celeron 2.4 Ghz.
The problem with Linux and BSD is that they're both Unix systems, with all the baggage that comes with it. Not everyone likes that. I, for one, prefer a system designed as a whole instead of a diverse collection of applications.
Corporations are greedy and don't want to pay more for health care coverage than they like. Business as usual. Don't blame better health care coverage law for that.
In Europe, these union acts aren't illegal at all. After all, how do you expect the right to strike to matter if the company can just hire replacement workers? Unions simply don't have enough power in the USA.
Not sure why people dislike them. Maybe it's another anti-socialist thing.
The idea of accidentally losing my clipboard when I accidentally select text does not appeal to me. I may not want to copy text when I select some to drag&drop either.
It's not consistent with other behaviour. You don't copy a file by selecting it, do you?
Indeed. Here's the transcript for reference for people who didn't RTFA:
"Aristotle... argued, you know, there sort of has to be a God. Of course that's nonsense," Corbett said according to a transcript of his lecture. "I mean, that's what you call deductive reasoning, you know. And you hear it all the time with people who say, 'Well, if all this stuff that makes up the universe is here, something must have created it.' Faulty logic. Very faulty logic."
He continued: "The other possibility is, it's always been there.... Your call as to which one of those notions is scientific and which one is magic."
"All I'm saying is that, you know, the people who want to make the argument that God did it, there is as much evidence that God did it as there is that there is a giant spaghetti monster living behind the moon who did it," the transcript says.
Corbett told his students that "real" scientists try to disprove the theory of evolution. "Contrast that with creationists," he told his students. "They never try to disprove creationism. They're all running around trying to prove it. That's deduction. It's not science. Scientifically, it's nonsense."
He gets bonus points from me for including the Giant Flying Spaghetti Monster.
When I tried the alpha I wondered why their web browser's maximised mode made the title bar disappear. It shouldn't be the same as full-screen. It's inconsistent and makes the Be menu inaccessible.
Bugfixes etc: small number, features added and major functionality changes: first number. It's not confusing to me, nor is the old system.
The problem is that bugfix releases and security updates are now also first number changes. There's no way for web developers to know when the core that does the parsing and rendering changed any more.
7 is a feature release, as were 6, 5 and 4 before it.
Firefox 4.0 was not a feature release. It was a major release that included changes in the core.
If anything, I thought that they shouldn't have done the out-of-process plugins in the small numerical step from 3.6.3 to 3.6.4... that alone warranted calling it 3.7, imho.
You just showed that version numbers aren't just a number but carry meaning with them. Mozilla using them arbitrarily distorts their meaning, and this is what people are complaining about.

I never said it was, smart guy.
It sounds like a great idea at first, but think further. This is a perfect scheme for censorship. After all, who decides what is pornography?
That's it in a nutshell. The problem with the .xxx TLD has been explained so many times I'm not going to repeat it.
More quarrelling, more hunger, more poverty, etc.

Because it's greedy and disrespectful towards their employees? This logic isn't hard.

I was talking about the right to block replacement workers and incoming trucks.

Who do you think constructed all the roads? The government did so with tax money. Go take your Republican nonsense elsewhere.

How does that change anything? They'll just hire new people who do like to be fucked in the ass financially.

To me all of that sounds like improvements in existing technology rather than innovation. CPUs got faster, mobile phones got smaller, etc.
