Apparently not one to mince words, Last.fm founder Richard Jones lambasted Apple for their recently announced App Store subscription rules. 'Apple just ****ed over online music subs for the iPhone,'
Really? Because di.fm sure doesn't seem to have any problem getting my subscription fees. Oh and look...I can even use my subscription service on my phone via the di.fm iPhone app.
Do you really think with a project this large and crucial, that the people in charge would willingly skimp on testing? I mean shit, this isn't BP we're talking about here. I'd imagine this is a pretty huge system. I'm willing to bet that whatever caused this outage was just simply overlooked when developing the test plan.
Wouldn't it be in the best interest of the Saudi's to give the opposite impression (IE, tell everyone there's lower supply than there really is to hike up prices)?
99% of the population can't use IPv6 natively anyways due to most ISP's not offering IPv6 addresses as an option. When this changes, I'm sure Cisco can release a firmware update that enables IPv6 functionality. Personally, I'd rather them spend their time releasing new features and bugfixes for features that I'm already using, than features that look good on paper, but won't actually ever get used in practice.
Agreed. Not to mention the other niceties of Duke3D, such as blood dripping off the walls, the mirrors where you could actually see your own reflection, and being able to leave footprints when stepping over a blood puddle or out of water. I thought the graphics in Quake were awful compared to Duke3D back in that day, even though it was true 3D (granted, this was before glQuake made it's debut).
To everyone saying he "shouldn't be locked away in a hole with more dangerous people", this kid's being put into a "minimum security resort", not a "federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison", to quote Office Space. The worse people he'll run into are probably embezzlers.
Oh, I'm sure there's a way it *could* have been done. Amphetamines come to mind....if they even existed back then. If not, then there's good 'ol fashioned cocaine.
This is a standard disclaimer on all automated casino games. I used to work for a company that produced automated gaming machines for casinos and every one of our machines had this stamped on the front of it. It also got tested in court on a regular basis by dipshits who would lose all their money, they get pissed off and sue the casino. These people rarely (if ever) won these lawsuits.
Is it just me, or does it seem like every Slashdotter here that has a girlfriend or wife feels like they have to let everybody else know about their significant other, regardless of how out of context it is to mention them?
Mod parent up. I've always wondered why attendance was required for a college you pay to be at. Sure, skipping all the lectures is stupid (especially since you're essentially paying for the privilege to be there), but if people want to skip them, then so be it....it's less distraction for the people who actually want to be there.

DST sucks when you have kids.
"It's time for night night"
"Why?"
"It's night time"
"No it's not" *Points a light still pouring through window*
"grrrr"
Who are you, Ned Flanders?
apt-get install tzdata (or equivalent for other platforms). Problem solved. Just make sure your cron jobs don't get skipped over if they're important.
Zero problems with RR turbo here as well.

Next time try and read the article.
Next time try not being a douche. It's people like you that turn this place into a clusterfuck of smug, elitist assholes.
Would doing a 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda' a few times not do it?

Welp...Nokia's loss. If I were to seriously consider another phone other than my iPhone, it would be something running MeeGo. Real Linux ftw.

I remember reading about that, but I don't remember which president it was for...
That's right..you don't.

I was using a "solar death ray" when I was 9. It's called a magnifying glass. Great for killing ants.
I don't have a cell phone personally, I don't like them because I don't want one more way for people to annoy me.
You haven't worked in the tech support industry by chance, have you? ;)

I dicked around (for hours) trying to get a home grown solution working and finally just gave up.
I guess you never came across this?
That's what I was waiting for. I didn't believe for a second this ARM-powered box was anywhere near as fast as the current x86 offerings.

Considering we'll probably be doing a good amount of terraforming to make a planet like Mars inhabitable, lets just call them Terrans =D.
And while he's at the courthouse, David can change his name to David Pitchfork and complete the trailer-trash facade.

I predict this will be the most flamebait-laced thread in the history of /.
