I agree. I wouldn't be happy if I came home and someone had parked their car in my driveway and was charging it using the external socket on my patio. Of course, I live in Germany where our electricity costs 28 euro cents (about 38 US cents) per KW.

Men are discriminated in business (quotas), in divorce, in the news and in the justice system. Otherwise, we're treated equally.

Thank you!

Oh where have the real "conservatives" gone? It used to be, growing up in rural America, that we, a politically conservative family back then, believed in not labeling anyone according to some physical trait. So the secretary at my father's office wasn't black or African American or anything else, she was just "Jinny" just like everyone else was who they were.

Of course, now the republican party has turned in to "the best government money can buy" and the democrats seem to have elements of the entitlement crowd both from the lower income side and from the big business side.

Sigh .....

After reading the article (RTFA) it appears that it had nothing to do with race. Had a white kid done the same experiment, he/she would have probably been treated the same way. The fact is, it creates an explosion. Now, expulsion and a felony for that is way overdone. A reprimand and a warning would have been enough, IMHO.

Now that's hot sh*t

Sorry couldn't resist.

Funny you should mention that. I believe they can ... because they still pretty much have a monopoly. Do you really have a choice? Sure, you could get a Mac at 4 times the cost, but, that's not seriously an option.

BTW, I have a Win 8 laptop and I really don't think it's that bad, but this post is coming to you from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Interesting. I was wondering if someone else would recommend C++. I've been using for a small app because of available libraries and scalability. If I had to write a web-based app and I had to be sure it was fast, I would use C++ and possibly fastCGI.

This is something which has really bothered me with Linux for a while. We are using Ubuntu for the most part and the constant changes drive me and the users nuts. Now Canonical which was going to use wayland is now going yet another direction. Sheesh.

Um ... you are using fox news as a reference here? Seriously? Isn't that the network that actually sued to be able to lie to viewers presumably under the guise that television and news is entertainment.

I live in Germany and they've been talking about the fact that the shift in the jet stream will makes our weather colder for many years now. This is nothing new. What might be new is what is causing the shift in the jet stream.

Don't laugh, my first programming (and only) on a commodore 64 was using the basic interpreter to poke 6502 (IIRC) instruction codes into memory which copied the screen contents from the screen register area to memory and wrote another program to restore it.

I went to watch the video but there was a 40 seconds ad first so I closed it. 40 seconds is probably longer than the actual video.

On the page about the presidential diesel an ad blocked the article.

Some people can't get enough.

Our linux server was up for four years (exactly actually). I shut it down to upgrade to a more powerful box.

In a word ... yes

When you buy a smart phone, they collect something like 40 euros. They make more money on the smart phone than the manufacturer does! And they collect that because you "could" uses it to store and play music. But, if you were actually to do such a thing, which you have now paid for with the 40 euro surcharge, you would be committing a criminal act. And the smart phone is just the tip of the iceberg.

A friend of mine is a musician and plays in clubs. He plays his own music and the club still has to pay GEMA more money than he makes. So, yes, they at least think they own all music. This is my opinion, of course. (My lawyer says I have to write that so they don't sue me).
