That's not an "enthusiast" in my book. Besides, your solution requires 2 computers a tablet and a computer. The tablet can do all what you've described. So why do you need a computer? Oh yeah, those "enthusiast" activities that include tricking out a powerhouse machine of your own creation (assembly actually). Enthusiasts have bloody hands from all the little solder points cutting into the skin. They think about matching memory chips and overclocking. Maybe a pair of video cards with multiple monitors, ...

What you are calling an "enthusiast" is what I would call "grandma".

Excuse me? It is the judge who rule what is or is not admissible, not the plaintiff or the defense. You mentioned an exception "Unless the Facebook contains the phrase ..." - an admission that it is possible that relevant evidence is there to be found. So how are we to know whether her Facebook page does nor does not contain that phrase? How are we to know whether or not she has posted comments about her love for this supervisor or bragged about her sex life with him or whatever? Who should determine whether or not there is something admissible and relevant if not the judge? Certainly not the plaintiff. False allegations are made all the time. The defense has the right to demand all relevant evidence that may help it. Its the duty of the judge to be fair to both.

You didn't read the article did you? Sight unseen? Of course it is sight unseen.. That's why the judge wants to see it - not to pass judgement on the case but to determine if there is anything there that will support the defense - as the defense alleges there is. If the judge finds that whatever is there is irrelevant then the defense cannot get access to it. If the plaintiff wants to avoid this then she can drop her complaint.

The judge will be determining if there is anything on Facebook relevant to the case. If so he'll let the defense see it. If not, they won't get it. That's what judges are for. Seems fair.

Wait a minute. This article was posted by a department of the government. Why would they lie or distort? Is it just because they report to politicians who are beholden to agri-business that benefits from this conclusion and the fact that this particular department exists to server agri-business? Have you no faith in the inherent decency of man?

Who are we? "We" are in a cold war conflict with Iran. We are trying to keep this from escalating into a hot war by imposing sanctions to pressure Iran into complying into agreements they have made - nuclear non-proliferation. Their leaders have threatened attacks on Israel, the U.S. and others. They have been engaging in terrorist attacks across the middle east directly (Quds Force) and through proxies (Hezbollah). They have threatened Israel with annihilation. Israel thinks Iran will try to destroy it if it gets nuclear weapons to they think they must attack now in order to avoid a nuclear war later. "We" would prefer that they not do this but we understand their concerns so we've asked them to hold off and let the sanctions work.

Not automatically they don't. A UI for a desktop doesn't work so well in Mobile especially over 3g cellular. There are all kinds of browser incompatibilities still. HTML5 is still not finished and support on the desktop is far behind the mobile browsers. Got plug-ins? Web-based applications have issues even when the OS is the same because the browsers may be different. This can all be overcome, but so can the issues with native clients. It's always a trade off.

And better yet, Apple actively supports the use of Windows on Macs - Bootcamp - in addition to the VM vendors.

I'll use this when hiring so I can get a team that shares my values. Interview questions: Are you a Republican? Yes? Take a hike. Are you a Democrat? Yes? Take a hike. Are you an Independent? Yes? Obviously you can't make decisions, take a hike! Are you an anarchist or libertarian? Yes? I don't need folks with authority issues. Take a hike? Are you a Communist or Fascist? Yes? Let's do lunch. I want to see if you bend to my will. Socialist? If you are hot and female, let's talk. No I'm not hiring you because you'll want awards for showing up. OK, who is left? No one? Damn, you just can't find qualified people any more.

What happens to a robot that "martyrs" itself for the cause? Does it go somewhere where it is greeted warmly by 72 robots still in their original packaging? For other causes would their be posthumous medals awarded and parades and all? If not, then who gets the "credit"? Oh, so that's the point!

So what is this button in the lower left hand corner of my screen and the label that says "Start" for? I'm running XP.

Steam also runs on Mac OS X and runs many of the same games from the same publishers. Does anyone know whether Ubisoft has done this on the Mac platform? I would think that they could since the admin is allowing the install in either case right?

At the same time?

And if you don't have good locks on your front door or if you leave a window open then whomever steals all your stuff shouldn't be prosecuted. They can keep your stuff as well.
