When you break it down like that, it really does make sense. It's not just guns, you can replace it with anything, but it is mostly guns in the US by the seems of it.
People like ME want to have "big honking greasy fingerprints on my screen". This is one of the bullshit arguments I saw float around when the iPhone was released. Gee, apple sure fucked up on that one, no one wants to touch a screen.
Seriously though, the only people I know of that see no value in multi-touch are what I consider modern luddites. You accept technology, embrace it, but as soon as things start to change they decry it with such veracity that it almost feels like reading (or hearing) an evangelical christian speech.
I for one am thoroughly satisfied with my multi-touch tablet. There's nothing quite like being able to touch what you want to open. Hell, I even feel odd going into work and using a mouse now.
The issue we're facing here is the interface, not the input method. While Windows 7 gets close (and yes, I am running it on my HP TX2), it fails in so many areas. Flicks are annoying and don't give you the control you get with the new MacBooks, and there's only so much you can do to get the interface more tablet friendly.
Providing you have the right drivers and a desire to make it work you can find it fulfilling, but still just short of the mark.
Indeed, and any suggestion otherwise is merely FUD.
Having worked for Telstra, their attitude toward wholesale customers is absolutely terrible. They are deliberately given worse service than Telstra customers, even though ALL Australians paid for the network they "own". This is great news and I have been pushing for this as a viable alternative to the mess that is Aussie telecoms - mind you, most people have no idea of the real impact and just parrot the FUD spreaders.
I wouldn't be surprised if bloodhawk is in Telstra middle management.
Who cares about "sometimes", there's due process. Outing someone for infringing your copyright is akin to vigilante justice. While that works in comic books, in real life you just get violations of the law to enforce the law.
If it does turn out it's similar but not his texture then he's opened himself up for law suits for defamation.
Well, they aren't too happy about what can be done now with the Wii.
I currently have a 100% hacked Wii that has not been opened or had any hardware added at all. Purely through exploits used to get the Homebrew Channel installed you are able to modify the Wii's firmware enough to allow you to install wiiware/virtual console titles, or even back up game discs to an external HDD.
So I'd say Nintendo are concerned about piracy on the Wii. As far as security updates, each release of the Wii firmware puts an halt to any CIOS installs, so they are modifying the firmware enough to stop future hacking... for about a day.
The issue is that Nintendo did the classic security through obscurity, which hasn't really worked out well.
Because your company and personal sandbox are valid representation of a mail system that serves millions of people. When either of your servers do that you can post bullshit like this.
Hell, even the company I work for has outages for both proactive and reactive maintenance, and that's only for 5000 people.
To say that because you've never had an outage you never will have an outage is absurd.
On top of this, saying that google should "have a backup" is silly. Do you even understand how redundancy works? Do you even understand how web based mail systems work? I really don't think so from this comment. If the error has nothing to do with servers falling over and is an issue with routing then you can have all the redundancy you want, but it won't make a difference.
At this stage it's any comments are merely conjecture, until google make a press release advising of what happened comments like "have a backup" are just troll posts.
You may prefer "=>" but it's not what everyone else uses. Personally, I'd think you were dicking up text files with audio if you typed "audio => text".
It's like Comcast charging you for another provider's cable.
If you don't own something you can't license it out, pretty simple. AP's clusterfuck of a piece of software they're using to determine what's theirs and what's not is the issue here. Relying purely on software without decent beta testing (which seems to happen more often than not) is one of the most retarded things you can do as a business.
As a male I tend to play female characters. I figure if I'm going to be looking at my character during play time I'm going to want something attractive to me.
Maybe I'm just odd like that, but big burly guys really don't do it for me.
It's a pity that they don't come out at night and tear Ridley Scott in twain.
I respect what he did in Alien, but his recent works are the biggest loads of shite around. I wish he'd left the Alien series well enough alone.
I'll hazard a guess that the movie will be yet another ad for America's army. There will be strategic deaths to ensure that the soldiers want revenge, but all in all they'll survive because they're so fucking good.
Ridley Scott, please, please, please... stop.

I also find, for myself, that the best way for me to learn is to deconstruct what I want to learn about. Physical or not, the deconstruction gives you insight into how the hardware/software works.
It's all fine to know something exists, but finding out how it works is a different matter.
I remember doing an easier hack on the parking meters in Newcastle AU. Grab a used Telstra smart card phone card, shove it in, meter breaks, free parking for a few days for everyone.
It seems that the parking meter OS was unable to handle cards that didn't send the right data back, so went in to "out of order" mode.
I suppose they got wise on these kind of simple hacks and changed the smart card system.
Actually, the first BSOD I had in a number of years was when I installed Vista recently (fully SPed too). I quickly went back to XP until 7 RTM came out.
Yes, I will admit 7 has been quite smooth, apart from the odd lock up/crash when playing TF2. Still, there's your lock up.
Whether you're a fanboy or not, you seem to be ill informed about windows issues. They still exist and are still a thorn in Microsoft's side.
Personally I don't even think the "testing in court" is as far as we need to go. By even suggesting that the output is copyrighted is merely harming his own work. I refuse to use Wolfram Alpha, and have ensured my friends (many of them in the science and mathematics community) not to use it.
I thought WA was amusing but totally useless to start with, when I found out it was all copyrighted, I almost ended up on the floor in laughter.
Wolfram has no idea how monumentally retarded this whole idea is, I suppose until he gets a slap in the face by no visitors he won't learn. I don't know about others, but I see WA as a gimmick more than a real resource, there's nothing meaningful you can get from WA that you can't get from formulating a decent search or even, shock horror, reading up to date books.
Species variation is completely different to "organic" foods.
Using land that's already been raped by chemical fertilizers and pesticides doesn't tend to have the same value as virgin land when you want to go "organic". Thinking you can fix the salinity levels, lack of nutrients, etc by shoveling cow shit on it is just a joke. Sustainable practices like crop rotation are still not used by these "organic" farmers, they think they can still treat the land with the same contempt that chemical farmers do. It doesn't give any benefit to the consumer at all, merely ups the price and ignores the problems to start with.
I don't buy into "organic farming" so long as they push for high yields and don't use crop rotation. Unfortunately this is a HUGE business, so crop rotation won't happen in the near future.
Either way, your point is moot as "organic farmers" still use the same varieties as non-"organic".

Quite eloquent.

There is already.
It's called show me the loo on the iPhone. Toilets can be rated and this information is shared via the app.
Well, this is the beauty of a Linux distro.
My server runs in terminal only, my laptop runs a gui. Same distro, just different packages.
Oh how your bullshit makes me laugh.

Why didn't he just email them and ask them either not to use his pictures, or to pay him for them?
Because sometimes even when you do both of those things, you get nowhere fast.

You can do that... buy an unlocked iPhone and a data only SIM...

Theres more intelligent things to discuss
Maybe take some of your own advice there. Trolling on Slashdot isn't exactly intelligent is it?
You may prefer "=>" but it's not what everyone else uses. Personally, I'd think you were dicking up text files with audio if you typed "audio => text".
I was thinking the same.
How lazy do you have to be to not even read past the first few lines of a summary.
You could even go so far as to say you watched the game as a replay on TV and am commenting on that, not the same game you watched live.
The whole idea is stupid.
I hate to feed the trolls, but I see no mention of "hardware hack".
If you're speaking of the tags, well, they aren't the summary are they?
Maybe you should learn the definition of "tag".
Before I didn't like the negativity being pointed squarely at kdawson, but now I'm 100% in the anti-kdawson camp.
Don't shit on your readers mate.
No, it's not.
It's like Comcast charging you for another provider's cable.

pretty much what I've done. Deleted my bank account and only use credit/debit cards on it.
I can't say I've ever had a problem with PP, but that's not to say I won't.
