Actually the US government spent quite a lot on the infrastructure. Around '97, I moved from Sweden to the US, after running an ISP there since '93. Since it was an obvious concern I checked and the US was pumping in…
If the user kept the secret key, that's not much of an online wallet - you might as well just use your secret key at home and send it directly yourself. They could encrypt it with a password or a pin that isn't saved on…
You'd imagine so. It wouldn't be legal though since modern.ie is for testing purposes only. Though I highly doubt anyone much would care if someone ran vitualbox and a copy of XP/Vista or something. I suppose in a sense…
It would be useful in part because another surgeon can assess how well he is doing before actually stacking up enough bad/good statistics to notice. It's also useful for training, just like watching yourself swing a…
This is really the major issue. "Growth" in the sense of "increase in actual production" is going terrific (granted, mostly by virtue of "Copper is practically the new oil - reserves, especially easy to access them"…
Temp CCs. There may or may not be money on it when the fee comes in..
> the credit card industry HAS and IS deploying the most up-to-date technology. In some regions, e.g. US, there are legal or infrastructure barriers that take time to overcome. And why is that, you think? People are…
Having someone visiting from Africa, there is apparently the inverse belief in some areas (sitting on a too-warm surface causes bladder infections/UTIs). There is definitely a European obsession with "fresh air". I'm…
That's true, but also the problem. Which university should, then, these best students hang out at? I think we all agree they should be at the one that is the best at teaching them, or which has a style of teaching that…
Car seating is DMV in the US. And yes, they have specs - you can't claim it seats more than average amounts of humans without backing that up by claiming they're unusually small.
If you're saying we should aspire to be as honest as the car industry, could we perhaps aim a little higher and aim for perhaps as honest as the nutritional supplement industry or the mafia?
Goes back further, even the C64/C20 was hard to squeeze the whole ram out of unless you wanted to scratch build everything. Even a Timex 1000/zx81 didn't get full use of the 2/1k ram. I'm thinking this has been standard…
It does sound like a bit of a strange assertion. gcc is amazingly core to so much and (in this case importantly) so much commercial. Not even the linux kernel itself has this many things that need it to be continued.…
I think it's partly because so many of us grew up basically hating him for the software we had to work under (and before it's brought up, no, no gun to the head, but usually there were few options and for the most part…
These were kind of my thoughts. I love having a smartphone and even before they existed I tried to get the dumb ones to do the maximum possible via sms. I really like being able to not worry about finding my way…
This is already standard on ereaders, nearly all (even if it's a tablet or PC app) do this. I don't like it, more than 1/3rd of the time a page turn is accompanied by a "back to last page, back to current page" as it…
Depends on how visible your name->email is. I got one yesterday to my current non-public email address (never used for anything except person to person email, and usually not even that), from the one guy I know who…
Forgotten doesn't exactly mean "unliked" though. Unless whatever pages I hit "like" on in some situation make lots of noise, my "like"s are near-permanent - I probably won't even remember it's there. If they do make…
Depends a little on what you run on the Kindle. It's perfectly possible to run 100% open source. Amazon isn't exactly making it super convenient, but they're doing very little to prevent it. Stock, of course, they…
I remember thinking that was strange. How do you settle an antitrust lawsuit out of court? Ask every consumer ever to agree that 10c is fair for having been prevented from having the option of saying "No OS or GPL OS…
I was a little disappointed by the lack of resolution. I remember seeing some of these, one with mindblowing resolution. As the article states "You can see a closeup of the statues nose" it turns out.. you can't. You…
It'll get more complicated later I'm sure, but yeah, that's the current patch. Except replace "dissertation on kittens" with "gay porn collection" (or "straight porn collection" if you're publicly gay. or whatever else…
Seconded. I showed a guy Ubuntu a bit back and it is now on his map and being used (not as primary, but it may be heading that way) because it has a start menu. He knows a tiny bit of linux (more like generic nix) and…
It's a good step forward though. For years, I was always torn about IDEs, it's very handy to be able to do so much automatically rather than having to do everything yourself. So much so that the productivity boost is…
I've assumed quotes meant one or more words were wanted in that order, not as keywords ("to be or not to be" = I don't mean a lot of documents including all those words, but rather that exact phrase) whereas + meant…
