I'm not so worried about this. Monsanto already showed exceptional responsibility with their GM patents on 99.5% of the crops our food, clothes, textiles, and medicines come from. Let's take it to the next step.
Really, Sony didn't have to choose the Cell processor, they could have just used NUMA with 2 dual core chips on a single die or something but they just had to go and make their black sheep.
They gambled on the likely possibility of games being developed for the PS3 first. Of course, they could have chosen to not gamble at all and still win.
I'm a slow reader, it took me maybe... 10 - 15 seconds to read your comment. Travelling at 45 MPH that's nearly a thousand feet and that's a lot of space that could be occupied by something fragile and breathing.
... if it means I will see fewer 12 yrs old in multiplayer games. And I am serious.
What you're essentially asking for is to play with other people who pay money for the regular experience. The stiff white geezers at country clubs all know too well about this.
awesome graphics, and not having to constantly upgrade to play the newest games at full quality.
You don't have to upgrade your PC to keep playing games at the same quality; 'Full quality' on a console is the same quality, so it's no different from a PC.
That depends vastly on the developers. Crysis comes to mind.
Don't you see, though! It's a conspiracy! See, they purposely designed the "Conanical" display driver to be flawed to create fear in the word "Conanical" and defeat Ubuntu!
Though I agree with the sentiment, at least your gun doesn't broadcast it's presence in the house to the potential criminal. That is a significant difference between the two scenarios.
Are you sure his did? It's still perfectly possible to track down a router not broadcasting.
"It's time for Google to realize that it is way too early to be pushing an OS that only provides a browser. If Chrome OS fails on netbooks it will just make OEMs even more hesitant to use a Linux-based OS instead of Windows. Google should instead build upon its already successful Android platform and provide a system that offers local applications."
Nonsense. Hubris. A billion bull cocks.
There's dozens of "failed" GNU/Linux distributions and Chrome OS is emblazoned with "Chrome OS" and not "Reputable-Company Linux". Chrome OS is obviously an experiment and it's certainly not like you can't drop in another replacement.
This is just a grope for attention. "Oh, look at me! I know what I'm talking about! La dee dah!" Fuck that.
This was one of the most difficult questions for us to answer. Specifically, who is an "authorized user", and who determines who those people are? I won't go through the mounds of evidence we went through to get beyond any reasonable doubt on this issue, but we did ultimately determine that the person requesting the access (his boss' boss) was an authorized user and should have access upon requesting it.
One really important thing to note here is that it wasn't a concern that he did not provide "his" passwords. The real problem is that he did not provide access -- in any form, even in the form of creating new accounts for those requesting it.
If it was so fucking hard for you to figure it out in five months what chance did Mr. Childs have in a stressful environment under coercion?
Some idiot decided it was a good idea to plant a sign by a school that instead of saying 20mph between 8AM and 4PM, it now says the speed is 20mph when children are present.
They don't tell you what a child is. They don't tell you what is "presence" of a child. They don't tell you if it's all children or school children or what. They say when children are present.
They could have just made the speed limit 20mph. They could have said "When school is in session" and at most required people to find what hours and days that school is in session.
If someone was going 25mph and hit a child who jumped out into the street from behind a car in the late evening you know damn well there would be mention at trial that there was that stupid fucking sign there and if they had simply "followed the law" it wouldn't be an issue.
You know what? Fuck the law. You made the wrong decision.
I started at 100%, and have slowly dwindled down to about 10-15%. I have a Mac Mini, an iPod Touch 3G (which started the love affair), had an iPhone briefly (but AT&T blows chunks). I was a huge hater. Now I'm a voice of moderation.
Oh, I'm quite fond of what Apple comes out with, I just really hate Apple itself.
Slashdot Mirror
Its too bad that Apple won based on what consumers think of as "pretty" rather than real values of quality. [...]
"Prettiness" is a fairly pervasive value these days, it is easy to say it's shallow or fake or anything, but I suspect prettiness wins regardless.
I'm hoping you intended sarcasm and just forgot that you need to state it explicitly for anyone to know in text land.
I didn't "forget" to state it explicitly, I'm just not worried about explaining myself for the idiots who don't get it.
*sigh*
It is ok for there to be potential for abuse as long as the person with the power does not abuse it? But what happens when they decide to?
Just pretend it never happened, stupid.

Entangle two (or more) particles, effect both of them the same way and monitor when they both react at the same time.
Well, we all know chinese "science" is faked quite often. E.g. : http://www.news24.com/SciTech/News/China-warned-over-fake-science-20100107 and so on.
How to make sure this is not just yet another bullshit from them?
The same way it's always been done; reproduce the experiment as precisely as possible and see if results are the same.

I guess GNU/Linux is too open, then.

I don't mean to be a skeptic [...]
Nonsense, skept the bitch up. It's the idiots that blindly accept without questioning that get us all in trouble.
When this transmission is operating with one of the shafts unlocked, is it multiplying the output force, or is it simply wasting energy?
Maybe it's doing both. Infinitely.
Dear Anonymous Dumbtard,
The iPad isn't meant as a 100% replacement for a desktop or laptop.
Until you get that through your geek/nerd addled cowardly brain, you won't grok the iPad.
- me
But it's Magic. It's a Revolution. How wonderful can it be if it can't be all you need?
Go out, buy nothing but an iPad and tell me how good your computing experience is 12 months from now.
No cheating. Not a single transaction on a single machine that isn't an iPad.
I dare you.
Uhhh, is it okay if we at least plug it into another computer the first time so we can actually use it?
At least they die happy...
It would be irresponsible happiness to be comforted in dying atop a loved one.

What's the big deal with new, new, new? Innovation, improvement, it's all good but massive improvements can be made in software alone.
Just look at the waste of cellphones and even now computers being treated so disposable even though they can last such a long time. Why?
Ahhh just kidding. I know why.
It took you 5 months, 200 pages of notes, and days of deliberation to make a decision?
How long did Terry Childs have to make his decision?
I hope you go to jail for some ridiculous bullshit someday.
As satisfying it would be every instance of injustice is a shame on humanity.
