Also, woosh. My point was that popular culture (like music) is heavily biased against bureaucrats without ever considering that there might be reasons for them to exist.
And for the record, I don't worry about the government. Corporate power dwarfs it.
Ok, next time I'll make sure to say that I'm arguing with you, instead of trying to agree with you.
That's all well and good, but it does nothing to address the point that, by 1969, computers were anything but a novelty in the aerospace industry.
Whether or not they met some mystery "big balls" criterion peculiar to you has nothing to do with it.
Next time you meet a bureaucrat thank them. They're people too, and they do good work.
An explorer on the other hand, has a vision first, and then moves heaven and earth to make it a reality.
Right, just like that Cristóbal Colón character.
(Those ships he got from the King and Queen of Spain didn't count for anything that really mattered.)
In the wake of the NSA scandals, you have all sorts of people who want to support their side (aka the good guys) and make sure the other side (aka the bad guys) don't score political points on them.
It's older than that: this is exactly how so many Obama supporters went from being pro-transparency, anti-wars, anti-Guantanamo, anti-torture, etc. to anti-transparency, pro-wars, pro-waterboarding. They have to support their "side" at all costs, even when it means reversing their opinions.
Al Franken. WTF?
Yeah, that totally makes sense out of why Oracle keep hiring more MySQL devs and putting out new MySQL releases like those MySQL 5.7 previews or that MySQL Cluster 7.3 that had a GA release just yesterday.
Thanks for clearing that up!
So its nothing to get your panties in a twist over guys, you can decide to be a dumbass and trust old Monty again (seriously guys look at the MariaDB license again, old Monty has it set up so all the code belongs to him, no reason he can't sell it out from under you again) or you can go to one of the other SQL variants or hell, if you want you and some other devs can take the last GPL version of MySQL and fork it and make something better. Make it belong to the actual community so it can't be sold and get behind that like you did with Libre office, why not do that? But this is a tempest in a teapot, who cares, you have options galore.
Bingo. Give this man a cigar.
What I want is my old Sun Type 4 keyboard + Bluetooth.
Oh, you mean you actually like having to mess with the scrollbar? That's my least favourite part of using a tablet--makes me constantly want to reach for the wheel on the mouse.
Been looking at Samsung's keyboard docks and feeling mighty skeptical. Thanks for confirming. Guess I'll just get a Bluetooth keyboard--any suggestions regarding those?
Just started using 5 GHz myself. Works great here.
Note: This may have something to do with the fact that mine appears to the be only 5 GHz AP anywhere in the building. (Thank you, Telenor and ComHem!) Or not.
I liked it better when you were describing how to construct a really fancy air gap, myself.
Has this been tested in court?
If not, then, no, your ass is not covered.

Legal liability. Those who fear being blamed for misuse of their public Wi-Fi signals are said to be protected under a "safe harbor" doctrine akin to that protecting Internet service providers. In other words, they're likely not liable for the mischief of porn purveyors or music pirates.
Say the weasel words, and Harpo will fly down with $100.
Don't piss all over my jokes like a complete dumbass, then.
What's the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman? A used car salesman knows when he's lying.
