Ironically creator of iPhone had Syrian blood.

Being part of people's life and affecting people's life is two different things. Granted one way or another Facebook affects people's life (News, events, (flawed) marriages etc.). But in no way, it's part of my life. I won't feel anything missing if I wake up one day seeing Facebook disappeared. I'm sure most people addicted to it won't feel big void if Facebook disappears. They will just find something else to waste time with. That's nature of humans, not Facebook's invention.

Eh, why it's always Americans who complain about slavery in China, India but on the other hand happily consume products from them? On the other hand Chinese and Indians are not that unhappy about the hard working conditions, since they know they need to work hard in order the catch pace with European and US standards of living if not for them, for their children. "Unfortunately" they didn't have a chance to invent colonization so they need to earn their wealth by working. There's nothing inherited to them, as their European or US counterparts.

Luckily after centuries they are doing good now. Every single day Asian countries, those developing ones, are really developing. That's in expense of harsh working conditions, but seeing "developed" world falling while they are getting better every day is evidently the real paycheck, numbers only fool economists, and angry workers in developed world. They think those workers work for peanuts, but actually they are getting their futures.

How do you plan to i18n that thing than? It's ok for English, and even English might lack form in some phrases. Shell has its own language, and it's not a natural language. Whatever tongue you have, you can learn this language, but if you add natural languages into the equation, then you create a big chaos, since you need to implement syntax differently for vast majority of nations. Otherwise while it wouldn't boggle your mind, it would boggle mind of someone else.

I hope this explains it for your.

And you smell like a coding monkey to me. It's not easy to say 'it's life' when your business bankrupt if you're a capitalist. Pawns of capitalism (ie. workers) mostly have no idea how hard is to run a business, that's why regardless where they work, they always complain about their bosses and working environment.

Which google talk linux client let video and audio communication? I'd really like to hear, as I don't think Bruce Perens to use Windows.

I doubt that web browser developers are very inclined to put massive work on coding a python interpreter and optimize it for web. Power of JS comes from the interpreters that web browsers have today. Python framework with web browser would be a new start and interpreters of web browsers would give you more trouble than JS language gives you now. Of course in a long-run it would be better. But JS does the job, so why devs should bother if there is no apparent need for other scripting languages.

What kind of encryption can completely satisfy security of credit card data, of which target space is limited and patterns are well known? Anyone competent enough to hack into their system, most probably competent enough to do cryptanalysis and decipher the data in no time. As they couldn't secure their own network, I don't think they had used methods to scrabble credit card data before encrypting it.

I've been using Linux long before than even Firefox existed, but I don't remember downloading Firefox from their website (so their builds) for Linux since it was the de-facto browser of choice of Linux desktop. I believe most users of Firefox on Linux use build of their distribution. Not to mention that also means couple of millions less for their download count.

Though, maybe their way of doing it or updates in makefiles help maintainers of distributions to put better builds. I guess that's what matters, not their own build on web page.

"90 percent of everything is crap"

Whatever you do to take care of your body, it will be weaker by time. You can only make the pace of it slow, though eventually it will. If you think you'll be as healthy, as energetic you are today, you're only fooling yourself and you might be surprised enough to see year by year you'll lose your skills and turn back to what you had when you're a new born.

Life has a cycle, you start with nothing, and die with nothing. But it gives you a chance when you're younger to have something before you die. If you don't use your chance, you postpone worst days of your life to its end. When you're a young or baby, people would give you a hand, but when you're old, nobody would care about you if you hadn't used your chance.

According to TFA, this cheat is discovered by their own federation, and disclosed so at least these cheaters can be considered as violator of their own ethics and the rest of the French chess players on that level won't have a bad reputation or leave a doubt in future events.

It's wise, and also fortunate, that they solved this problem in house.

Well, they won't actually whine but just increase the prices. At the end of the day, it's the consumers who will get affected, not the vendors. They don't need mercy of yours at all, better prepare to pay more.

Because MS abuses its monopolistic status. You can't migrate over other operating system easily, even if you can. There're still too many incompatibilities. For almost every implementation of technology now there's a classification of Unix-based couple of OS and Windows ones (which was actually Unix based at the beginning). MS diverged its operating system too much and never released any reliable specs for considerably long time to cause vendor lock-in. Not any other implementation could ever existed apart from theirs...

Enough?

...is like fucking for virginity!
