Quick access to BASIC too, which makes it ideal to get programming on.
Just interested, do they use ITU-R BS.1770 or EBU R128?
A real-world analogue would be this scenario: You drive to Home Depot and walk in. Closed-circuit cameras match your face against a database of every shopper that has used a credit card at Walmart or Target and identifies you by name, address, and phone.
Some shopping centres already do this and have done for a decade or so now. Used to prevent fraud or let security know of trouble makers.
About time we got rid of FPTP and had some sort of proportional representation. Alternative Vote was never enough, it didn't please those who wanted to stick with FPTP, and certainly didn't for those that want a system such as STV.
I really want proportional representation. I want my friend who may have voted for a different party and didn't get in to power because of FPTP to have some representation even if I find their views barbaric.
I bet you they made far more in profit than the cost of the fines.
I thought corporations were individuals in the USA?
This is what governments are for, to protect the people with legislation (treaties in EU case) and uphold them. One of those being price fixing, collusion and anti-trust.

They choose Mexico and Brazil because their import duty for foreign assembled products is so high. Look at products such a s cars. Foreign assembled and manufactured cars are luxury even though people in Brazil should be able to afford BMWs, Audis, or American/European Fords. They can't so they manufacture their own cars which do not share any likeness from platform, chassis or styling. A ford Focus is not the same as Euro/American versions.
As for Corning glass. Why is fish caught in the UK waters shipped to eastern Europe to be processed and then shipped back to the UK. The labour to process this fish is far cheaper even after the air miles than it would be to do it in the UK.
Apple do assemble in Ireland too. My iMac G5 with iSight says "Assembled in Ireland", as do many BTO products.
Most of that can be fixed by only allowing plain text e-mails.
Slashdot has ads, if you don't want to see them, how much are you willing to pay?
If you increase your karma by getting plenty of points, Slashdot give you a button to disable ads.
With OS X the main hurdle was to move from Carbon to Cocoa, as Apple dropped Carbon and never made it 64 bit. This took a couple of people a month or two at most.
So again, why is it so hard for Windows development?

OS24Ever and I composed the same question at the same question. Reply to his post above.
Memory fault - where am I?
