What does the Skilled Occupation List have to do with this?

First of all, I would make it so you can press the Enter key and it conducts your search. Forcing people to either tab or navigate their mouse to the button makes it a little annoying.
My problem with Dr. Oz is not that he appears to be a unethical charletan that will prostitute himself to any snake oil salesman who asks. My problem is, n the few shows I have seen, is that he actively is teaching his audience bad science. This is not surprising as doctors are not scientists. For instance, there was one show on fat where his depiction of fat was completely inaccurate. The demonstration was there to be visually exciting, but at the expense of any real science. I can imagine the people who saw it going to their doctor and arguing a point, thinking Dr. Oz is right, and their doctor is wrong.
It is entertainment. I agree that persons who are fundamentally entertainers and not seriously committed to medicine should probably not be the medical staff.
That's cheating.
And inside, a modern x86 processor is actually a giant hardware emulation of x86 instructions with a RISC/VLIW core... You call it cheating, and I call it optimizing.
They second you try a cool trick like migrating a thread to another machine...
But this would happen with a macrokernel as well... you can't just magically make networking overhead disappear...
I wasn't intending on saying that CISC was superior to RISC... what I was more saying is that there has been more money put into CISC processors, and so they develop faster.
It's just a simple fact of money == better access to stuff to make more money.
The main reason CISC is faster today is probably more related capital investment needed in production. Intel just have so much more.
This was basically what I was trying to say. More capital investment typically means better outcomes.
They can force manufacturers to use unlocked bootloaders if they want the official Google version.
But hardly anyone is running the stock Android anyways. They've all expended on the code, and made it different. Almost no one actually uses the "official Google version" at all...
There's no reason whatsoever why Google can't make the same thing a requirement
But they can't because it's open source software. No one could make all of the Linux Distros use the same official kernel... it's not possible, because it's open source, and you can make it yourself.
and would prefer shipping a version of Android with no Google services
But this is already the case. Amazon and Barnes and Noble do not sell Android devices with Google services on them.
I don't get why people have such a difficult time understanding that Google can't wrangle these cats, because it doesn't have an Iron Fist on the source code...
I've never seen a true microkernel that has the performance of a monolithic kernel.
I've never seen a RISC processor that can match the performance of the best CISC processors. You know, nevermind the fact that tons of money has been poured into CISC processors making them faster and faster.
Sometimes, it's just a matter of where the attention has been placed.
Of course it will be a while before many people have a watch. Those who ordered in the first couple minutes will get it before May. Those who ordered in the first hour may get it by mid may. ten hours after the watch was on sale the shipment date was almost the end of June.
So will we see retail sales for the watch before the end of summer? I think for the Watch Edition and other Watch that are far north of $100.
It is interesting that most Watch sold are Sports model. Buying an expensive Watch now seems really silly. Spending $500 is smug and borderline senseless. This is not a device one is going to use for a generation. In the next two years the Watch that one might keep for a couple years will be on the market. One has to admit the electronics for this Watch is going to seem obsolete in 6 months. And you won't even be able to go the pawn shop and sell the gold for gold.
Snowden released all of his information to journalists before he left the country.
The President finds that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 1(a) of this order
Snowden is both a resident and a citizen of the US. Yes, we revoked his passport, but we cannot revoke his citizenship without his consent. As a citizen, he cannot be blocked entry into the country. He can be detained indefinitely the second he enters the country, but we can't stop him from returning.
hy block people that contribute or materially represent "certain persons"? Is this to prevent Snowden...
For the last time, THIS EO DOESN'T APPLY TO SNOWDEN. *mumbles mumbles mumbles*
If a NAS is doing uPNP on purpose or is acting as a router, then the NAS manufacturer has an obligation to provide appropriate guidance to their users.
INDEED! If they screw that up, it's bad, and they should be the ones holding the responsibility if it accidentally exposes data that they don't want exposed through uPnP... no one else is able to properly infer the right thing to do.
Yeah, my OpenBSD machine specifically refuses to do uPnP as well, because "security"... I've looked into getting some sort of uPnP working... but in the end, I'm just like, "nah... it makes my life a little bit more of a pain, but at least I know what ports are open"
As noted by the sibling post. Bing already does do this. And it's the right thing to do.
But that's the provider's problem, isn't it?
Google can't force providers to use AOSP, and unlocked bootloaders, and all that...
Wait... Google provides your cellphone directly? How did you get on their corporate plan?
Or are you talking about those Nexuses that are provided by a different carrier, and as such that carrier retains the right to do whatever they want to the OSS Android underneath?
You know... because Google can't just go on to the Verizon/T-Mobile/AT&T/Sprint network and update everyone's phone. The provider provides the specific Android build.
And that's why they can't update all the devices at once. Because everyone and their mother can develop their own kernel, and their own Android for their platform.
Now, if everyone just ran AOSP, then Google would be fine to update everyone at the same time.
