Or it could just be that telling people "...because of climate change," means you can charge more.

Have them open a browser and navigate to Slashdot with just a keyboard. That will vex the average user but is simple enough in reality and they'll leave having learned something useful.

This will lead to a lack of internships; a lack of a way to gain experience before you begin marketing yourself as someone with skill in a given field. For many companies, if they have to pay interns, they simply won't create such positions.

Every other planet in our galaxy, despite the fact that we only live on one, is currently undergoing a warming cycle...

If this has legs I'm sure you could work with the EFF to get an action item going for contacting our disconnected elected.

This is a post about privacy when using P2P. How you choose to use the technology is up to you.

That's what killed the app for me. Different friends have different social media accounts. Posting a photo in Instagram covered 3 of my bases. I was hoping they'd add Google+ integration for the few holdouts. Instead, it went Facebook-only at which point...there was no point.

Also there's no one developing Linux kernel code that isn't aware of Torvald's style in this respect.

I'm not sure why we Linux users need Steam. There's only two games: TuxRacer and "Find the Dependencies."

But seriously, I'm really looking forward to what Steam can do for Linux.

We'll just go back to editing the HOSTS file.

Niche is the secret. In Norfolk, VA there's a place called Naro Expanded Video. I've only been in there once but I was incredibly surprised than in 2005 I could walk in and buy a like-new copy of Mickey's Christmas Carol (albeit on VHS) from 1983. I believe it was finally released on DVD in 2009.

If a country wants to lure more businesses inside its borders, it needs to make it worthwhile for the businesses. Taxes are simply an expense. Like any other part or material, a business is likely to shop around for the best deal. Rather than trying to use the law to penalize businesses for sound business practices, a country should seek to make its tax rates competitive on the global scale.

As a business, it takes work and costs money to reduce your tax burden. Clearly Apple has been quite successful at this but it didn't happen for free. Compliance costs might even make a rate here in the US higher than 2% make sense for them and save them money. Clearly our unreasonable 35% rate is enough to make most large businesses jump through myriad hoops to save money and makes for an inhospitable economic environment for many companies who used to be based here.

We need to find what rate would allow companies like Apple to keep their money here and adopt that rate immediately.

That's not a shortage - that's just market forces. And the cost of a given product has to rise in order to maintain the profit involved in creating said product. If people can't make money doing it, they won't do it. Then we'd have a shortage.

Bacon bacon bacon! We're making the moves on you! You're bacon!

If it's Windows, you should be able to boot any Linux distro off a thumb drive and chew up any directories you'd like.
