Fax was stupid tech 15 - 20 years ago. Transmitting bits instead of data? Are you nuts?
I'm intrigued... What is the difference between bits and data? You do realize it's all the same, right? Fax machines are just as digital as a workstation, they just interface over an analogue telephone network.
Perhaps the GP meant "bits" as rasterized image data versus "data" being the character-based document.
And you still need (more than ever) regular builds and test executions while you refactor it into something more modular.
That's a good move. Clouds are everywhere, the coverage area will be huge!
If any nation that should lose its AAA rating it should be Japan. America has at least 6 other countries with worse debt to asset ratios that will default sooner. Greece failed because it was a poorer country and creditors became nervous it may not be able to pay it off.
Japan doesn't have a AAA rating. They're AA-. Fewer than 20 countries have a AAA rating.

Needless to say, the downloaded copies were better than store bought, because they didn't have copy protection / DRM, but obviously they didn't have the manual that came in the box from the store.
You'd think it might have been easier to have the computer use the same technique we used to do in that situation - try every key one by one until you figured out how the game worked.
Say no more, say no more.
Your posts reminds me of a computer lab at CMU where the machines were all named for blender functions. Mix, stir, blend, whip, crush...
There are 10 possible criteria from which to pick one that a nominated site satisfies, including the "masterpiece" criterion (i). 4 of them apply specifically to natural sites, such as the reef, while the other 6 are culturally-oriented.
The "masterpiece" criterion is criterion (i), although you could arguably make a case for Wikipedia under criteria (iv) or (vi) as well (emphasis mine):
(iv) "is an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural, or technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates a significant stage in human history"
(as a global-scale collaborative project with millions of participants in the information age)
(vi) "is directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance"
(free and open dissemination of information)
It's worth noting that 5000 Galaxy Tab 10.1's were given away to Google I/O attendees earlier this month.
I had no idea what this was about until I read the tags. Context please, editors! Thanks, taggers.
You mean "cue the dude". Your wording suggesting putting him in a line.
I'm not sure if this is just trying to be funny, but it's a ridiculous argument. The English shame us with their love of diminutives: 'brekkie', 'bickie', 'footy', 'cuppa', 'muso', 'sesh', 'Jacko', 'Jezza' etc...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it turns out to be a really hard problem.
FACT: Torvalds started Linux
FACT: Linux is named after its creator
ERGO: Torvalds's first name is Linux
The logic is unassailable.
