Any multinational uses English exclusivly. They just cannot function any other way. In the team of 10 I work in, we have 5-6 different native tongues. Which means, half of the team doesn't even speak the local language!
The flip side of this is, that any native English speaker has an (unfair?) advantage. Sorry - zarro sympathy points from me.
How quickly people forget how the west grew from farmers to industry, with people voluntarily moving to the city for factory jobs -- and considering themselves lucky.
What history books are you reading? E.g. Marx based his entire philosophy on that not being true.
There seems to be a lot of parallels in the industrual revolution of the west, and what is currently happening in Asia.
The 486 will use 100-120 or so W all the time
Link, *please*. The higest quotation I could find was more than a decade lower. Also, I remember my 486 running just fine without a cpu fan, and at times even without the heat sink.
Btw, please compare you're system's energy consumption to modern hardware once in a while. Might be you could save yourself some money in the long run and the rest of the world some co2 or nuclear waste.

Note the same connector in both fans for scale refrence.
I'm sick and tired of people looking at the price tag of the phone at purchase time only, and ignoring any monthly fees and/or elevated prices for other services.
Forgetting some 350$ worth of accessories when bemoaning a 899$ price tag on a phone is just one exellent case point.
Now, that is the attitude that is (or at least was) the problem in the software industry at large. When the developer has a top-notch computer connected via gigabit ethernet to the test server, the application is coded to those specs. And if the end-user's experience is flaky, its not a bug, but the end-user is expected to upgrade. Luckily, it seems that the free lunch starts to be over, and that bangs some sense into this industry.
And, no - it won't fit. I checked. 2GB is maximum
And where should I ram that extra RAM? My less than two years old notebook has 1 GB of RAM, and no additional slot. I hear the iPad has even less, and no upgrade slot either. Perhaps FF is not meant for everybody?

GPL is bullsh*t because it presents itself as a free license and makes a loud claim of freedom etc. etc., but it actually takes those freedoms away from your users and restricts their use of your source code
Have youever actually tried reading the preamble in GPL? It is very simple english, and nicely sums up the contents of the license, the rights it gives and takes awawy.
GPL does not IMHO make any false claims about itself. Uninformed people sometimes do, though.
But I do agree with you that when distributing my code, a short concise license is often the best option. But no, the BSD license WITH ALL THAT SHOUTING IN LAWYERESE is not short or easily understandable. I prefer the "free beer" license. Only partly because I like beer.
Here I was thinking internet would be killing TV.
Or is the tower broadcasting UDP packets, perhaps?
Autoplay? Luxury.
I dream about seeing the video in the first place.
One meets his destiny often on the road he takes to avoid it.
