Linux is just used for embedded stuff now, what's the difference if they use Linux or some custon Ada realtime OS? The valley wouldn't exist without the cold war, there is always two sides of the coin.

That's how I deal with it: I often try to think about it one step further, when you have a funny last name you have heard comments about it endless times already and I keep it for myself. That also applies to famous people when they are in

I've read somewhere that this behavior is some kind of valve for agression. Similar to laughing to specific kinds of comedy, or cursing at the other team in a stadium. When you compare that to real violence, this is culturally very advanced

Facebook was scared, Instagram had a hockey stick growth and Twitter tried to buy it. It was a defensive move. If Instagrams growth is stopped now, who profits from it? Do users get back to Facebook or other services?

A friend of mine caught this, it's common in Indonesia where he was. It's not that dangerous if you are educated about it. Never take Aspirin for example, this can be life threatening, but people tend to use it here when they feel bad. It's

Ever heard about suicide bombers? They are even smart as real humans and don't care about their life. The other point, terrorism is not abut effectiveness it's about publicity. Drones are not so much changing the game as it is right now.

No he has a valid point, Intel whole value chain is built around x86. They can't just switch everything off, or switch to another architecture. ARM has no such risk. Right now Intel has much more money, so they can pump more into R&D, b

Red Bull had that problem, they created Red Bull Cola and everyone thought it is a mix of Red Bull and cola. It actually is just a cola, and a pretty good one with 100% bio ingredients. People just didn't get that, the caffeine junkies were

Weren't there cases where underage girls got charged for distributing child porn? This is so ridiculous when you think about it, destroying the life of the individual the law should protect.

I removed it, i try to be less judgmental. I am not in the US, but I would probably have done "sexting" instead while being at that age. Looking at these percentages, it seems like the laws don't display the reality. At least they should ma
