UH. no. See: Xerox, kleenex, hoover, coke.
Considering that Windows NT was around *before* UTF-8, it would have been rather difficult to implement it. What you really meant to say was, unfortunately, standards committees are often too slow to implement things like UTF-8 in a timely manner.
Not even by head count. 1.5 billion people can speak English, contrasted to 1.0 billion can speak "Chinese".
I think Chinese is the only language we need, it's already the most spoken language in the world.
That is false. English is the most spoken language in the world. Chinese is the most popular primary language.
This has what to do with the conversation?
I definitely do not have more cores than I can use. Intel just needs to get off their butt and start shipping processors that measure cores in multiples of dozens.
The website works just fine. Perhaps you should contact noscript, ghostery, etc and complain their stuff breaks stuff.
Wow, you fearmonger much?
You have declared "constitution free zones".
No we don't. There is nowhere in the United States that is a "constitution free zone". That's just media blowing something up out of proportion. There are cases where the border patrol oversteps it's bounds, but that doesn't mean you don't have the rights afforded you by the constitution. Worst case is it escalates up to a court, the court sets it right (through due process). It's not perfect, but it's easy to point and say that's not perfect when you aren't charged with coming up with the "perfect" solution.
You detain and torture people in prisons with little to no judicial oversight or recourse.
And? These aren't American citizens, on a military base, and (mostly) classified as enemy combatants in a war. What OTHER country sends war criminals through their normal judicial system? None. Oh, and you are talking about 780 people.
Your own president has executed a citizen under the guise of terrorism overseas by air-strike without any due process.
Enemy combatants in war. Sucks to be them.
Your idea of due process when you think you get it happens behind closed doors in secret courts.
Just because it is behind closed doors and not open to public scrutiny by itself does not make it less of a due process. Not all trials and decisions necessarily need to be a media spectacle. It does make it harder to prove (or disprove) improper behavior, but that doesn't make it so. I'm not claiming the system is perfect, but just better than the alternatives.
And even when someone in power occasionally has an idea that is positive to your freedoms it gets struck down in congress, in the white house, or better yet just simply gets done anyway without oversight by a three letter agency.
That's your opinion. Feel free to voice your opinion and vote for change.
In the U.S., a quarter of all accidents involving pedestrians happen while a vehicle is making a left turn.
Let me guess, a quarter of all accidents involving pedestrians happen while a vehicle is making a right turn, a quarter of all accidents while a vehicle is going straight, and a quarter of all accidents while a vehicle is in reverse?
I have/had a 11-drive NAS using those drives. I have 2 drives left. 2 were replaced twice. So I started with 11, have 11 dead, with 2 still working. That's some bad stuff.
And I have 6 SSDs currently, none of which have failed. On the other hand, I also have 13 rust buckets (working), and I'm approaching a graveyard of about 11, all of which are less than 3 years old. Some of which just instantly died.. No SMART, no warning, just dead. Some died during a power cycle and didn't come back. Average time to death for the rust buckets is about 1 year. Some drives have been replaced twice already (The replacement was replaced). The SSDs are about 4 years old on average. I'd have seagate repair them, but the cost of shipping them to seagate and back, and then getting a drive I know will die again shortly just isn't worth the cost. Just replacing them with another model as they die.
All drives are kept cool, on a top tier power supply which is connected to a UPS. So it's neither a power problem, nor a cooling problem. And the replacement rust buckets aren't dying. So your theory of how awesome and bulletbroof rust buckets are, is just a anecdote is they are susceptible to crappy failure rates and instant death syndrome that you describe.
I'll take the SSD write "problem" any day. Rust buckets just like anything else are a crap shoot. I bought the wrong model from the wrong manufacturer. Oddly, the rust buckets are mainly write-once, read seldom, while the SSDs get pounded consistently yet it's the rust buckets that are dying.
Actually, in MOST states, it is illegal to be driving in left lanes with cars behind you. As a law abiding car, it would likely move over like people should.
IANAL, but there was a case a while back that a judge used that reasoning to allow something that otherwise would not have been. It was crazy then, and still is, but that is what happened.
Ok, in rebuttal, I point to yahoo comments for millions of examples of dumber reasoning.
