No, the store had a choice. They chose to advertise it for price X, but came up with some bullshit about Apple to try and hike it to price Y. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission does not look kindly on this sort of decietful behaviour (if not outright fraudulent) and you can bet there will be consequences for the false advertising.
Well, the real problem is that TFA talks about discussing it in a historical context, not a scientific one. Creation myths should be discussed in an ancient history class, and I have no problem with that as such.
If it were truley imperceptible we wouldn't know of many exoplanets. Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving, revolving at 900 miles per hour...
The THEORY is 1) the fatty diet is the cause, and 2) all fat is bad.
So, instead of the theory being an attempt to explain the observations the theory is instead trying to explain the observations? I agree, and such a theory can only approximate truth. The facts aren't true or false, they are absolutes. How the facts are gathered and which subset of facts are used is also an approximation to the truth.
Just as you said, "more cows died from heart disease when eating a fatty diet than those that did not" explains nothing, and in trying to explain it one must deal with hypothesis and approximations to truth.
... or the arrogant atheist who doesn't see himself as arrogant, or the close-minded scientist who doesn't see himself as close minded, or the elitist academic who doesn't see himself as elitist...
The theory comes when you try to explain the observations. The GP is perfectly correct, he can say there is a likelihood that the correlation has the hypothesised cause, but he can never prove the correlation 100%, only repeat the observations until the likelihood is large enough that the hypothesis can be asserted with confidence. The truth is still unknowable, but a good enough approximation of the truth is all we will ever get using the scientific method.
Yes because people are just like machines, you turn on at 9:00am and work until 5:30pm with a break for fuel. Spending thirty seconds distracted from your labour wil cost the company a QUARTER OF A HUNDRED DOLLARS!!! and will in no way lower stress levels and contribute to a happier, more convivial and productive workforce, that's simply impossible.
Where does anyone say that? The factory makes iPhones and iPads. They make products for Apple. If they make other things too how does that excuse Apple from blame?
Not at all. This device has three inputs, GP neglected to mention the main engine. It uses two smaller inputs to affect the main larger input. The prius balances two engines of rougly equal size. This controls a single engine with two much smaller ones. It seems to be a novel and unique transmission.
You have a tiny imagination. Flash developers exist, it's a legitimate platform, just because a bunch of fuckwits write shitty annoying flash apps and plaster all over the place doesn't mean the platform is bad, it means the platform is good. Too good for it's own good. If you thought flash was a nightmare, try getting your HTML5 blocker to eliminate the horrible crap made by the aforementioned fuckwits once it's plastered everywhere instead of flash because then the spam works on iphones too. THANKS STEVE
And isn't all the content avaliable in YUV meaning it has red, green, blue and yellow colour information? All the source material might be made using RGB (is that even true though?) but the transmission is done using luminance, R/G and B/Y values isn't it?
I have a few questions for you then. Any language allows bad programmers to design bad programs, why would you deny good programmers the chance to write good programs?
As for crashes, I'll grant you Flash on OSX and Linux is unstable yet has anyone even tested the robustness of their cross compiling tool? I also agree their cookie implementation is atrocious, perhaps an alternative local storage method could be presented and cookies disabled?
I'm glad there's Apple employees who see the worth of flash games, and can see your stance on interpreters (though I strongly disagree) but what is wrong with their cross compiler tool coupled with the existing App store approval process?
Generally speaking, it's never fine to use floats in financial calculations if you want exact results. For approximations it's ok, but why bother when you can get perfect precision using fixed point integer arithmetic. You might have concerns with bounds using traditional ints but that's why you use BigDecimal or similar.
Explain the Playboy app then. But this isn't about porn per se. Apple just want to cover up a weakness of their single market platform by invoking the 'ZOMG kiddies looking at porn' boogeyman on the alternative.
So Microsoft simply employs minimum wage unregistered children in non-sweatshops that have only 10-11 hour days for the workers that live there, and they even get rest room breaks. Well kudos to them, I can't see them being put in a bad light after that wonderful revelation.
The Pirate Party UK is not the Pirate Party Australia any more than the UK Labour party is equivalent to the Australian Labor party. Also, what on earth is wrong with a politician who has a great sense of humour? Better than being a wet blanket killjoy like, say, yourself.

Billy Hughes (our 7th PM) was also Welsh.

Yeah, that's what they want you to think.
Rubbish. I can see Outer Space from my backyard!

Well, someone convinced the Pope that evolution was Gods plan, so you should just keep pushing your luck and you might just change someones mind.

Actually, the sun does go around the earth as much as the earth goes around the sun. All motion is relative.

The Microsoft Excel EULA of course.

I believe strictfp is the keyword you were looking for to get 100% IEEE compliant floating point in Java. Welcome to 12 years ago.

One step forwards, two steps back is not progress.
You're just lucky you have that bunny burned into your psyche. I'm stuck with Jacko. *shudder*
