Having a positive green image and policy helps Apple public relations and also keeps Apple in some socially responsible funds. While Cook
doesnt claim its for ROI, there is a financial gain for at least some green practices.
Sponsored by Volvo and Ikea...we feed the world one meatball at a time.
Also note its DRM works with WINE and their steam OS is based on linux
Also note GOG games are ancient(although I do love them), Steam not only has modern games but massively discounts those games and its DRM is mild. Once youve downloaded the game from steam you can switch to offline mode and never contact steam again. If Valve dies switch to offline mode. Steam also supports independent software developers and charities with humble bundle(I had already bought half the games in the bundle so steam lets me gift the codes to someone else).
Considering XP is 13 years old...being a decade late is not a problem
The first 65536 users don't want dice to pull the plug...we would lose our slashdot awesomeness.
If you have work to do on feature parity...why not just stop forcing people to use BETA for a while.
Its possible that someday the new slashdot might very well be quite workable...but it seems like the beta is still an alpha.
If Its my family member and that printed organ can keep them alive long enough for a donated organ to be found...hell yes.
The internment of Japanese-Americans was immoral and unnecessary, the use of census information in wartime to track enemy aliens was less problematic than the internment of Japanese-Americans who were American citizens. The law allowing the use of the census data was passed in 1942 and repealed in 1947.

However, Sherman had every legal right to get census data on farmland (not persons) in any even he used information from state of georgia quoting sherman
"I had obtained not only the United States census-tables of 1860," Sherman wrote in his Memoirs, "but a compilation made by the Controller of the State of Georgia for the purpose of taxation, containing in considerable detail the 'population and statistics' of every county in Georgia" (Sherman)."
Its overpriced. Nintendos market is for those who want a cheap and cheerful video game system for the kids
not the people who want to pay $60 a game. If they had released something like an updated wii with a regular controller
for $100 less it would have sold like crazy. Basically their target market wanted an updated WII not the montrosity that
was the wii U.
If you want to see whats wrong with Oracle look whos running it.
Compared with Larry Ellison...Bill Gates is Mahatma Gandhi.
"A few months ago, a female ex-employee with whom Ellison had had an affair launched a lawsuit in which she alleged that he tempted several female employees into bed with the offer of an Acura sports car. Ellison claimed the offer was a joke but, when questioned, admitted that he had bought four Acuras in the previous year."
If neoteny provides any clues "homo animus" or the anime man may be our likely future.
humans a few million years down the line will be looking like eurasian anime characters
with cuteness not intelligence the most dominating feature although as they say looks
can be deceiving.
The human race will be okay...for now.
Keystone XL is a pipeline to haul CANADIAN oil that ran through American enviromentally sensitive areas and over ogalla aquifer which supplies water
to 27% of the irrigated land in the US.
Now if you want to make an argument for a pipeline to haul American oil that doesnt involve danger to aquifers
and enviromentally sensitive lands im all ears.
. "However he had a ton of knowledge about the company, projects and people, and in some ways he was the department's "memory". He also had good ideas about how to organise teams and company processes, and he was a brilliant coach. If that guy is a "D" player you need a new fucking report card.
It used to be cool but now there are so many wiretaps that its become a pain in the ass from an administrative and technical standpoint and a pr nightmare.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
