IBM knew exactly what Germany was doing with them. And it was against the law to sell to Germany. IBM mastered of skirting both the laws of the US and Germany, – to get tabulators into Germany and the profits out.
They didn't need to get tabulators into Germany - they were build there.
Which didn't happen. Hitler ran for President, and lost to von Hindenburg. The National Socialists managed to get about 40% of the Reichstag, not a majority but certainly a very important party. Hitler was then appointed to the office of Chancellor, and took over from there.
Actually, in the election after which he became Chancellor, the Nazis only had 33% of the votes.
Who cares?
Always amazing how many people post in a discussion they don't care about.
Most of the hardware in a Mac laptop is off-the-shelf stuff, developed by other companies. I haven't checked but I expect it is an Intel chipset.
If you are right, there shouldn't be a problem just installing Windows whatever on a Mac.
a surface pro is the better solution over the macbook air if one must stick with the microsoft camp IMO. light weight, compatible with everything, and in the same price range as the air. Add in the fact that it can be a tablet or a laptop
... means its a fucking compromise. http://daringfireball.net/2013/02/the_c_word
Well, I guess we can perhaps forgive the author of said article. From a buying point if few, a mainframe and a Hollerith machine are no difference.
But from an ethical point of view, there is a difference between tracking which Jews you have killed, and keeping track of running times or pulse rates.
No, unfortunately it's a fitness and evolution thing. The minute you bring grain bags to a starving remote village, the hunger goes away and then they immediately start having sex and cranking out more needy humans. You can see this in dependent villages, you'll notice frequency banding in the ages of the children, all conceived at roughly the same time coinciding with aid drops. Feeding the hungry sounds great, the hungry will multiply until you can't feed them all.
Yes, that's why in rich Western countries we have a massive population explosion because no one is starving. Oh, wait...
Sorry, I forgot, it only applies to poor brown people on different continents.
Didn't know Kosovanians were brown...
That's not a mugging. Without violence it's not mugging, it's just theft.
You don't "hand over" something to someone who snaps it from your hands.
My point being that if the guy has a knife/gun on you and tells you "give me that phone", he could just as well say "password?".
Or he could just take it, and commit a lesser crime that takes less time and thus has a lower chance to get caught.
It's rather worse if it gets stolen from your pocket.
What situation would make you hand over your phone but not your pass?
Snap and run?
You worry too much. With two factor authentication in place there's no chance the theif will be able to get the verification code!
So? That means he can't get your data "in the cloud" - but the phone is his to use
I think they are trying to be clever and play on the term China Syndrome, where the fuel melts all the way through the earth to it's Antipodal point.
Wouldn't gravity stop the material at Earth's core though?
Why would it? If you dig a deep hole, you'll dig all the way to China, too.
What "illegal actions"? Military and intelligence operations aren't subject to your bullshit ideas of "illegality". Nice try, lefty.
Geneva Convention, you moronic war criminal. Were you just following orders murdering civilians?
And anyone that wants to improve their looks is a fat-shaming shitlord.
And anyone trying to help them is an evil dictator.
I'll concede that, though his actions showed a callous disregard for human life. I can't figure out anything Snowden did that got anyone killed. Manning almost certainly resulted in some people being outed and snuffed.
As opposed to the illegal actions he was whistleblowing on?
Defense from who, exactly?
Russia still occupies (formerly?) German territory that it annexed and stationed military units in (including nuclear weapons).
You are confusing that with Poland, both ways. Russia still occupies former Polish territory, and Poland as a replacement got former German territory.
