in the US if they wanted to. So why not? Hell, they could partner with the State Department for stateside enforcement on this whole "get educated in the US, contribute to the economy back home" scheme.

internet is "doing it wrong."

navigation...

their contractor doesn't know how to build high traffic websites. duh.

I'm pretty sure that anyone who would care about this sort of thing would have abandoned GNOME long ago when they announced with GNOME 3 that they were done with creating functional desktop interfaces and were instead focusing on radical UX/UI research.

I think I'd call him a Kling-on, by his own definition!

VOA, BBC World, France24, Al Jazeera, PressTV, CCTV News, NHK World, DW-TV ... it's fashionable.

What sets RT apart is that they have a bunch of money and all the motion graphics/design/branding on the channel is all superfuturistic in that classically weird Russian kinda way.

Why do you think Putin granted asylum in the first place? He fancied himself a new "travel companion."

have worked pretty well for me in the past. you can build a list of fuckoff sites and limit the amount of time you can spend on them per day. they don't actually stop you from wasting time on internet sites if you really want to, what they actually do is slow you down and give yourself a chance to ask yourself "wait, wtf am i doing? i already spent xx minutes doing this crap." it's not perfect, but it works pretty well.

the bobs hive is not exactly the first place i tend to think of when i want to know about information security trends... maybe they should stick to their core competencies. like really busy powerpoint templates that the government likes and "anybody whoever built an empire..."

and you know when too much lithium from the battery has leeched out when you're overtaken by tremors, seizures, coma and cardiovascular collapse.

...or why it would probably really suck to work there. Here's the official statement from the horse's mouth:

http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2013/01/update-on-cs2-and-acrobat-7-activation-servers.html

"Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers. While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers."

It's rather fascinating and somewhat indicative of a completely dysfunctional company. It reads almost like the head of support wrote an apologetic explanation that tried to downplay the issue a bit to the rest of the execs who then didn't quite understand the issue itself or the gravity of it. The solution, obviously, was to then just forward it directly to PR who then faithfully published it letter for letter. Wow.

Putting all concerns about having a cluttered, but complete, inbox that can be searched for answers versus tighter distribution groups and more delays in having to query actual people for answers aside, if you ask me, paying someone a six figure salary to write memos about the proper use of the "Reply All" button and paying IT staff to monkey with email software to remove it is pretty much the definition of bureaucracy and inefficiency gone wild.

The problem isn't theoretical speed, it's congestion control for shared radio bandwidth when tens or hundreds of consumer owned unlicensed wireless devices stomp all over each other. In recent years, I've noticed that existing 802.11 devices in any reasonably densely populated area completely fall apart due to interference from neighbors.

You think you can decimate our industry?! You think you can reduce us from journalists to mere "content creators"?! You think you can take our work and stick it in your little glowing devices?! WE'LL SHOW YOU! WE'LL TAKE YOUR LITTLE GLOWY SMARTPHONE AND GLUE IT RIGHT INSIDE OUR MAGAZINE.
