They also have a stupid rule regarding "how important stuff has to be".
On the other hand, they have this rule.
by means of releasing a dangerous animal under circumstances evincing the actor's intent that the animal obstruct governmental administration.
Doesn't apply.
Are you kidding? The man released Justin Bieber into a mall. Has a more dangerous animal ever been released into a more governmental structure?
Honestly I don't think that the idea of turning our desktops into terminals will catch on
Is that the point of Chrome OS? I had the impression that it was targeted at small, portable, communications devices--somewhere at the intersection of smart phones and netbooks. There are many kinds of applications that just won't ever run in the cloud, and we'll always need powerful desktop-ish machines with full-featured OSes
What I'm more confused about is why they need both Chrome OS and Android.
I think most people just haven't had all that many jobs, for every slashdotter with a "I had a different summer job every summer and three internships in college and I've worked for six fortune 500 companies since graduating last year" story there are probably plenty of us who didn't have the right connections, who made that typo that resulted in not getting that Google internship and so on and who didn't start our first job out of college making six figures (and who didn't immediately get headhunted for another job with 50% higher pay within six months of starting the first one).
You're forgetting about an important part (my part) of the Slashdot demographic. Let's call it the "I've been out of college for a decade or two and have a had a bunch of jobs in that time because that's just how it works" demographic.
Go seems to suffer from the problem of not being done. Case in point: exceptions.
The authors at least partly agree with you. They describe the absence of exceptions here. They consider it to be an open issue.
On the other hand, they already provide an alternative to the "finally" block of an exception handler: the defer keyword. I like the looks of this, as it means you can handle all of your closing and locking kinds of issues in a direct pairing with the corresponding open or lock, regardless of whether the function terminates early due to error conditions.
We are on Mars. Have been for awhile.
For certain values of "we"...
I hate skulls, especially on clothing.
I'm rather fond of my skull, but I do agree that it doesn't belong on clothing.
Correction:
Not geeky enough. We should be arguing for an extension to the HTML standard allowing a number to be tagged as a distance and assigned a unit, thereby allowing the browser to convert automatically to the units preferred by the reader.
And that is Disney's real problem. The thing that they have of value is the ability to produce new films. They need to stop fixating on trying to sell copies of their films and focus on how to persuade people to pay them to make new films. That is the kind of innovation the industry needs, not new forms of DRM.
Another poster here talks about Disney's new system as being "an industry solution in search of a consumer problem". What you've proposed is a consumer solution in search of an industry problem. DVD sales are a huge cash cow, and they'd be fools to give that up easily. Making new movies is a risky, expensive undertaking. Selling DVDs is a cheap, reliable revenue stream. There is increasing consumer demand to move away from physical media towards downloaded content, and Disney is sure as hell going to try to find a profitable way to make that switch.
even the mighty slashdot is speechless!
Apparently, several posts that came after yours traveled back through time to prevent you from being first.
