Are we really that surprised that this is a possibility in the near future.
With the way people drive all over the word, it's probably NOT a bad idea. But, since this will be made null and void by robotic cars, who cares? XD
With truet "auto" mobiles, this means no more cab drivers....unless they start getting a huge lobbyist contingency together....nothing's impossible!
Well, technically, if you own the 10.5 OS (Or got it with a machine), THAT is the full licensed copy, and the 10.6 comes with a full license for THAT version of the OS as well.
I think you misunderstand that license process between Leopard & SL....unless I'm a complete buffoon....which is also possible.
Pint because it's Friday, and I'm a bit hung over...so I need anuther... XD
That PFY scribbling part had me crackin' up!
Yeah, Mac User (notice name), but have Linux at home. Macs at work, because its easier for the lusers....
Would love all Linux boxes, but ah well....Gonna be moving to those eventually since the XServe was discontinued.
Fruit computers. XD
But, when was the last time you saw an intro video to a game that showed you ACTUAL game footage/activities you can do....
If a Deathwing attack actually LOOKED like it does in the intro vid to WoW's Cataclysm, I MAY actually be terrified....but it doesn't.
So, one needs to think of these ads as just that, ads that are made to mind-fuck people into paying for said product.
Ah well, sigh.
Cheers!
The only issue is that sometimes, when copying and pasting data into Libre/Neo/OpenOffice, is that if coming from certain spreadsheets, it will change the dates by four years. It seems that this issue has yet to be figured out.
We are an insurance business, and realized this "relatively" soon after starting use of Neo...thankfully!
i get annoyed sometimes (as above) but, I don't mind the screen name being there. I get annoyed, I'm human (.....as far as you know, muahhahaahaa!!!!).
Unfortunately, even 'i' can get a little irrational every once in a while. But, my point above isn't all wrong, because things on this earth ARE being ruined by humans. If they used a newer technology in their reactor or updated it, like to an LFTR, then this would never have happened, as they are practically meltdown-proof, as there is no pressurized components like in the 40-year-old technologies (even still) currently being implemented in new construction today.
But still, most commentards don't have a clue HOW the technology behind it works, NOR have they been there to survey the reactors themselves. Nor WOULD they go given the opportunity, as they'd be scared shitless of the radiation consequences even though they purport that there are NO consequences from it.
Ah well. I'll have anuther beer...
ACHTUNG!!! Flaming post ahead!
Nobody writing "articles" (more like blog posts) knows what they are talking about at all, since NONE of them are Atomic Scientists, nor have you been on the ground there, have ye? (Just making a guess, maybe I'm wrong....but I doubt it.)
It's a fucking disaster! Will it spread the world over, NO, but it HAS BEEN (already) bad for the immediate area.
So, just shut the fuck up and let these good people work to save their own asses.
Look at the way these people in Japan handle themselves just to make a phone call or get food. They don't knock each other over madly, or get into fights, like we would is most western nations. When the cards are down, western nations, with all their religious beliefs of "peace" and "love thy neighbor" say, "FUCK everyone else, I'm FIRST."
I have an agenda to push: A person CAN be smart, but most people are fucking stupid and annoying, and ruin the Earth for everyone else.
Flame on.
I think I speak for everyone when I say "thank you". Without individuals to brave the possibility of death in space, not knowing what they are in for, we would not have half the technology and understanding of life that we have today.
"...due to 'touch down' in the Mall on 14 July." ....haha, clever El Reg.
Pints all around.
To be fair....Imma get into a bit of a tiff over what you just said since it is not based on irrefutable evidence.
You were going on what you hear in the Bible. I'm not saying it didn't happen either, but is there any physical proof that anything that was said to happen in The Bible, which was put together at The Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., AFTER His supposed existence, actually took place?
Why were other gospels removed?
To put it another way: The individuals that put together this book were not even conceived when He was said to be here.
Distortion to serve one's purpose. People that say that they find the Bible to be a complete work and won't open themselves up to other gospels written by actual characters named in the Bible are simply ignorant and don't want to know that there may be another aspect to the story. I.E. the Gospels of Mary and Judas.
Without a complete set of information from said individuals, is it literally IMPOSSIBLE to know (as they call it) the Way, the TRUTH, and the Light.
IF there is a supreme being, I think he would want us to find out for ourselves. Not blindly listen to something someone behind an altar tells us.
I am merely opening myself up to all of the many possibilities.
"Part of the problem is that we expect users to be experts in security, when in reality what they want to do is be successful in their job and will hunt out ways to make this happen."
FIXED: WE NEVER expect users to be experts in security. And, in reality, what they want to do is avoid their job and will hunt out ways to keep work from happening.
There.
I watch this article's thread in sheer anticipation.....
Yes, because most people coming out of schools when Apples were the norm (85-95) have Macs now. Actually, most in that age spectrum do not, or absolutely hate them. Especially the MSofties working in IT.
You are likening Apple, a computer company that makes a good, working product, to cigarette companies, who KNOWINGLY add harmful chemicals to their cigarettes to make them more addictive? This is a proven fact. Can't be debated.
Try slamming gaming companies if you want to slam someone in the field of electronics/computing. This crap isn't gonna fly with me....
SMILE!
I think the underlying theme of this is jobs, not innovation (I think there was something about that in the article.....somewhere). But, he is meeting with the heads of companies that have made great strides (one might call that being "innovative") in the technological sector. Now, everyone is entitled to their own opinion (or what Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh/others have brainwashed them into believing), which seems to be getting in the way of reasoning....welcome, FOX News viewers.
This is meeting with the heads of the INNOVATIVE COMPANIES....thus, not providing the title of "innovator" to the individuals at the meeting. If it was me, I would want the most prominent people there as well, to find out what can be done about this crappy jobs (no pun intended :D) situation.
(Sidebar: Why is Zuckerberg there? No fucking clue. He's a.....well....bitch.)
The Reality: Most people that support these megahuge companies vote Republican, and then bitch about the jobs situation and blame it on Obama. Guess what, the Republicans are the ones providing tax CUTS (even more than the current ones us peons get, unless they find another loophole to keep from paying them taxes all) to the large companies shipping our jobs overseas. But, they (GOP/GOP Propaganda) word it in such a way to blame it on the Dems....and maybe on Obama's "radical" agenda....yeah, like Bob Dole's radical health plan from '92.
If it was me, I'd be meeting with the largest developers/advocates of open source, and then figuring out a way we can cut down on billions of expenses within gov't by switching. It wouldn't have much of an effect on the majority of jobs in the US, because large companies like MS are already shipping them overseas....pure and simple. Everybody wins. :D jk, not that easy, obviously.
All I'm saying is: Kids, don't believe everything you hear on TV/Intarwebz, research it for yourselves....
So, in conclusion: WTF?
