Hmm.... I chose an Android device for a mobile phone because of its potential in letting me learn things and improve my IT skills, beside other reasons. And I think it's quite amazing what you can do on Android if you only know some Java. I'd imagine there won't be much you couldn't do with that Cheap Android Dongle. Although, of course, you'd do it a different way than you might do it with a RPI running Linux.
After Microsoft stopped to sell it four years ago? With that-what-must-not-be-named, which was intended to widely replace it, having become available nearly five years ago from now? And with even Windows 7 now being around for more than three years?
I'd say, that's the important message behind the headline, and it's a good one, because it's continued proof that even Microsoft users, even when "the company is doing everything it can to get its users off Windows XP", as TFA says, don't eat every shit they're getting served. And, with Windows 8, there's good hope that Microsoft will be the ones who are going to choke on a new version of Windows, again.
Although it's still far from being completely extinct. Someone still has to design the iPhones and to design and build the robots. But more and more of that, too, will become automated, even in countries where labour is cheap, because technological progress will at some point in time make automation even cheaper.
What will happen? Instead of enabling people to enjoy more free time at decent living standards, more and more people will become jobless and thereby poor. Oh, and, by the way, because economic value can only be created by human work, both products and money will more and more lose their economic value, which will finally lead to world-wide inflation. The process has long since started, and the current financial and economic crises are only the first major symptoms of what is to come.
She wasn't. She has studied media science and worked for an internet agency and a supplier for the car industry. By the way, the rumour originated within Mr Wulff's own political party, the conservative CDU (christian-democratic union) which is also the party the head of government, Mrs Merkel, belongs to.
And it couldn't be more evident. Just two things:
1. The event in discussion now dates back half a year. When it was news, Mr Wulff was still Federal President (an office which, in Germany, does not carry too much power; his main job is to represent the state) and struggling against the corruption allegations which finally made him resign. Back then, when it was urgent, Mrs Wulff did not deem it necessary to do or say anything at all.
2. This week there is a book by Mrs Wulff coming to the stores titled "Jenseits des Protokolls" ("Beyond Protocol"), which is expected to tell a few stories from the couple of months her husband was President, including, of course, the events she is now suing Google for.
Any questions?
All this is of course exactly in line with what those Wulff people have already shown to be their character.
... the Jews in Nazi Germany were free to be Jews. Just not free from the consequences of being brought to concentration camps and murdered.
(This is *not* comparing the event told by TFA to the shoah, by the way and just in case.)
But thanks for the brilliant demonstration of how dubious the term "free" sometimes gets used and probably is never going to stop to be used.
I can't say which I find less encouraging and less trust-inspiring, the fact that the support for writing StarOffice 5 binary formats (sdw, sdc, sda, etc.) has been dropped per se, or the circumstance that such a significant change has been introduced quietly and without even being mentioned in the release notes.
Did they hope nobody would notice, perhaps assuming that users of StarOffice binary file formats would have all died of old age by now?
Not all have, though, and some do even remember that StarOffice 5.2 used to have a feature set which OpenOffice and LibreOffice, more than ten years later, still do not completely replace, which is why some still keep their StarOffice 5.2 setup (working perfectly well on Windows 7 x64) alive, some alongside whatever else they may be using these days, some (like myself) even as their primary office application suite.
Just for the record – 1998, I started a side-business as a really small, local internet service provider, offering web and mail services for customers on a machine running OS/2. If I remember correctly, until now, 14 years later, there was one major hardware upgrade and two operating system upgrades, with the next major upgrade (both hard- and software) planned this year. The mid-term future will probably be a Linux box with the latest eComStation running what OS/2 specific stuff will then still be needed in a VirtualBox, but the next setup will still be OS/2-only (eComStation 2.1). It doesn't let me do all the things other systems would, especially when compared with Linux in a server environment, but those 14 years mostly were a really low-maintenance time and I'm still quite happy with it. On the desktop, though, my OS/2 days are mostly over for something like 10 years now.
To make Ctrl-Alt-Del simply flush the filesystems and reboot the machine was a design decision, and a dubious one to boot (scnr), but not a technical necessity imposed by the architecture. Actually, the current OS/2 packagings by name of eComStation do come with a Ctrl-Alt-Del interceptor that switches to a console mode process manager.
I've never seen that behaviour and have been using the 2.2 version

Whatever most English speakers really think about the German word "Doktor" (sic!), "performant", which is a common word in German, too, wouldn't really be the first German word to become part of the English language. Wow, how stupid those must have been who first used the words "kindergarten" and "rucksack" among an English speaking audience...
... when every couple of years one of the not-so-well-adjusted kids gets himself a gun and makes them pay. As far as I'm concerned, actually I'm surprised that it's only one of them every couple of years.

Am I the only one reading "Windows Marketplace for Mobiles, which is set to compete with the popular Apple's App Store" and imagining handcuffs competing with bracelets?
Right. And, and there Safina is simply wrong, Marxism is not "one man's dictate", although it was made to something like that in the socialist dictatorships misusing and abusing it.
Most of Marxism is simply a kind of scientific, socio-economic analysis. Even today many economists admit that Marx' magnum opus does a great job in explaining capitalist economy (and its shortcomings).
