TFA is more about the incident and less about the privacy issue. I read two sentences that barely make a passing remark at privacy issues. This belongs on idle if anything. Reading the comments thus far just reinforces this.
The whole purpose of the scanners to emasculate and demean the people who pass through them. This should be clear to everyone.
That depends on what your packing. To be strip searched for fear of hiding a club in your pants, and then finding out the club shaped item is stock equipment wouldn't be emasculating or demeaning for the person passing through, just the person doing the search.
I doubt Apple would want to buy ARM and then kill the sales to ARM's other customers. If they're going to spend $8 billion just to piss it away by killing ARM's revenue they'd be better served by spending the money to subsidize iPhone sales by cutting the price.
Of course they wouldn't kill the sales. They'd just raise the price to make competitors unable to compete with apple branded hardware. Or subtly revise the hardware to cause non-apple developers to have to spend to revise their OS. Apple really is the new Microsoft, and their just getting started.
He never said they were going to be returned. Just taken.
Russian Official: "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for aliens like you. If you let my President go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
I don't think it works that way, though. There isn't evidence that using one's brain too much can cause the same kind of damage as pulling a muscle or twisting a knee does in more physical sports. On the contrary, there is a ton of evidence by now that it can actually delay the onset of the various forms of neuro-degeneration in the old age.
But it may be that you already have to be not entirely normal up there in the first place to make it that far in chess.
I was going to give this detailed retort, countering each and every one of your points, but I bruised my brain in the attempt. According to the examining physician, I may never think again...
And leading up to the CS4 release, Carbon was going 64bit as well. June 2008, Apple does an about face and cuts Carbon's 64bit development.
As well, Edremy points out that Final Cut Pro is still based in Carbon. Final Cut Pro, like Photoshop, is a massive program, and re-writing such an application for Carbon is surely no small job. That Steve Jobs tries to take Adobe to task, when his own house isn't even in order is just hypocritical.
And the funniest thing about this, is that now that Adobe has a reason to update the software to cocoa, whispers out of Cupertino hint towards a new API that will be soon required for Mac OS and all it's mobile iterations.
Perhaps if Apple had been a little more forthcoming in their roadmap, Adobe would have been more motivated, but Apple's natural secretiveness put Adobe in a tough spot.
competency tests are all racist. they only seek to restrict minorities. you cannot legally require these - the courts have ruled. live with it, right wing tea bagger.
I didn't know idiocy was a race. I thought it was a good thing to restrict the idiots, regardless of their legal status.
Several sources are reporting that the British Chiropractic Association has dropped its lawsuit against famed writer Simon Singh.
Now they've unwittingly made this the even more famed writer Simon Singh. Before this, I hadn't even heard of him. Sometimes it's smarter to let the writer write what he will then to have a high court make him look even better. Now their illusionary world looks even more like it is.
The special sale comes as Hollywood is struggling with falling DVD sales in the face of piracy and is looking for new ways to sell movies from its library.
Not "included" by the slashdot editors, referenced from TFA by them.
It's the latest way for Hollywood to combat falling DVD sales due to piracy.
Maybe some of us just tire of re-buying the same movies on the newest format, or maybe they've been putting out so much crap that it's all we can do just to sit through the movie once. I don't buy or download movies, and I barely rent them. Methinks piracy is just the patsy for their own inabilities to cough up something watchable.
Well as a non-programmer myself, I was taking a stab at making a funny. The deepest I've been into programming was a perl app that asked questions and turned the answers into an insult.
If the problems with the shuttles were related to floor mats then perhaps NASA could help. Otherwise, it's just another set of computer scientists looking over a few million lines of code they didn't write, trying to find a defect that has supposedly manifest itself less than a few hundred times out of million of cars and probably billions of miles driven.
Which means the newest guy at NASA will find it in the first week, and solve it by adding a semi-colon.
Well if Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks the pedals, they'll definitely stick. That takes the "unexpected" out of unexpected acceleration, but doesn't really solve the issue...

This system has been in place for quite some time now.
If you have flow recently, you probably walked through one.
So the system is only for girls?

Doesn't this belong on Idle? Or is it because there was a mention of the body scanner? Really?
Well at least I know my computer isn't infected.

You are right. Unfortunately your rights have been revoked, so who can either be left, wrong, or both. You have 3 seconds to choose.
The outcry is not that Apple is revoking a right but simply that they are deliberately crippling a product ... and for what reason?
They don't need a reason.
That logic isn't going to last long with the DOJ and the FTC drawing straws on who gets to investigate Apple first.
He never said they were going to be returned. Just taken.

That comment was so AAC.

That Steve Jobs tries to take Adobe to task, when his own house isn't even in order is just hypocritical.
If it doesn't have any performance enhancements, or noticeable benefits, could it really be considered an update?
And the funniest thing about this, is that now that Adobe has a reason to update the software to cocoa, whispers out of Cupertino hint towards a new API that will be soon required for Mac OS and all it's mobile iterations.
Perhaps if Apple had been a little more forthcoming in their roadmap, Adobe would have been more motivated, but Apple's natural secretiveness put Adobe in a tough spot.
I'm still bitter that Adobe made Photoshop CS4 64bit for windows and not mac.

Rule # 1 - the source of the problem is ALWAYS sitting between some keyboard and chair somewhere. Find that person!!!
PEBKAC Problem exists between keyboard and chair. If only they could get these errors to appear in the event viewer.
