This is one more case of DRM making life harder for the consumer.
Harder? You pay for a movie with the guarantee you cannot view it some time a few years from now.
That means the disc is essentially a worthless possession as physical object, why buy it?
Nobody wants a drawer stacked with expensive plastic junk.
I misinterpreted that entry, but on second thought, pretty much any converter I come across is based on it.
It's not like Joe Neighbour implements a set of decoders in a weekend.
You're being overly negative.
Until Red Dawn nobody could imagine what would happen if North Korea invaded the US.
If an asteroid is on our path I'm sure as hell going to vote on Eastwood to blast it away.
We'd have Chuck Norris as a backup.
Just stop crying already, I told you: don't watch adult movies!
People do things like say "I only want someone with > average height, > average salary,
They get 3 people - one of which is married, one gay, and the other refuses to date someone as tall/fat/stupid/poor as them.
People just don't understand the selectivity of multiple and requirements.
I'm pretty sure love needs to be somewhere prominent in this equation, others however
may be content with their precious.
In any case, imposing restrictions on someone you haven't met is a sure sign
of undealt personal issues. No pun intended.
ISIS and Al Qaida is basically what USA reaps from that:(
The world, thankyou.
And somehow I do not feel confident about this combination of the US "projecting" power without restraint
and the need for assets to keep the dollar floating.
If in reality car emissions are higher than overly ambitious standards, but still low enough that air quality is OK - should the cars be "fixed" (as in the pet related term, neutered) or instead should the regulations be brought to realistic levels based on what cars are actually emitting today?
Did the car makers complain about the standards? No
Were they upfront about the issue to the customer and public? No
Did they install the best for low emission software by default? No
This is not bending the rules but breaking them.
And the standards are not overly ambitious:

Comrades of the Soviet Union, there is no need for this senseless bloodshed between our nations.
The German people are not your enemy.
If you surrender, you will be treated well.
You will be given plenty of good, hot food and warm clothing, and if wounded, proper medical treatment.
The German army is your friend.
This is not basic income. This is about getting social benefits without validating the receivers on a regular basis.
A basic income would also be issued to working inhabitants of Utrecht, this is not the case.
Also, this is a lousy experiment even if all inhabitants of Utrecht would be paid basic income,
because it is *locally* and not country-wide: the rest of the country simply supports Utrecht in this case
one way or the other, this is social "dampening" the same way, *without* safeguards.
It is simply impossible to distribute benefits *without conditions* (=basic income) because it would literally bleed to death;
it is not a closed system (e.g. buying oil) however much one wants it to be.
After that, considering the open nature of the system, the next logical question is: who's going to pay these benefits?
However, its not the end of the world. Just a radically different one.

I'd like to know what I can do about it besides solarpanels & minimal car use.
Because I and surely many people like me want to leave at least something to our children's children
but are more or less bound by the wheel
Yeah, maybe next release they will *only* support the left mouse button, and ignore anything else. Nah, I'm being cynical here - no major corporation would ever do anything as stupid as only supporting one mouse butto
I'd like to have an ask Randall topic in Slashdot without comics.
Obviously this guy is extremely funny and we'd all like to know
how he fooled Nasa in this Robotics thing.

The next release (of the phone) will fix this.

Fixed? Imagine that.
You need to download the Android SDK, then compile, load certificate on target and finally deploy on target.
Then, when the unsuspected owner returns from taking a piss, target is p0wned*. Enjoy!
* support up to Android 2.1 only
no decline in the homebrew here *hips*
You forgot the blue-eyes emoticon, BlueTrace fucker.
It is your intent to track & analyse people.

Has anyone else issues with searching thru messages?

Try the fsck gesture, it's in the public domain.

This episode with Sheldon isn't even funny anymore.
