They only care because that means a individual may accidentally record them picking up a hooker or something else scandalous. If congress was somehow exempt from the decrease in privacy, they wouldn't give a rats behind.

This is called Planned Obsolescence

Not a complete list, but its limited to more southern states. FTA:

Well, at least we all know now. Thank you for sharing.

Why Won't Industry Design an Affordable Hearing Aid?

After losing their second hearing aid, a guy I know just purchased one of those compact sound amplifiers used for hunting. Couple hundred bucks and he says it works just fine.

Because it's not a city wide ban. Government agencies are the only organizations affected by this. If the city doesn't want to hire smokers, they're not required to. The article says that each smoker on staff increases their insurance budget by about $12k per year.

"Zuckerberg: Betting On HTML5 Was Facebook's Biggest Mistake For The iOS App". Company-wise, their IPO certainly was a bigger mistake than using HTML5 in iOS.

Grr... editors and their misspellings.

"the IEEE will staht today"

there, fix that for ya.

Here are some implied words that might help you make sense of it:

Challenging earlier assertions that Bill Gates got the rewards [which were] due Gary Kildall

And I guess in some respects it IS F2P... but it's not the full game so it's a half hearted version of F2P that doesn't really count in my book. All they did was remove the time restriction on their trial.

That would be because you bought into Blizz' marketing the WOW DEMO as actually being F2P...

Definitely worthy of being tagged as such: 'waaaaaambulence'

I believe GP is referring to the code they HAVEN'T released as OSS. You know... the stuff that makes OSX... OSX and not Unix, and hence copyrightable.

However, in 70+ years, when that code is no longer subject to copyright... I would surely hope they've long switched to newer, more efficient, powerful, and better code... That is to say, if that code would even run on the processors (in whatever way, shape, or form) we'll be using.

As early as we are in our current stage of computing, an additional 70 years may as well be as an eternity. So, I'm not entirely certain that GP's argument is quite valid. I'd be more worried about the code getting leaked from poor patent handling.

says the average length of a marriage that ends in divorce is 8 years... which means, at that point, there have probably been issues going on well over 2 years between the couple.

Could this fact, maybe, have something to do with the human attention span? Or maybe the desire to continually have something new?

Interesting, though, that it's the same length of time as a double presidential term... o.O
