I couldn't care less if I get drug tested because I don't use them.
I don't use them, but I care for other people. It's bad because it punishes people who don't do drugs simply because there are people that do. Much like the TSA.
Don't know about you, but I'd rather be certain the pilot of the plane I'm on is drug-free. If that means random testing, then so be it.
That's the benefit of a fixed hardware platform - you know exactly what's running on it. That means you don't have to compromise on performance, like you sometimes do with a PC.
The PS3 only has 256 megabytes of RAM compared to the 360's 512 megabytes.
It's not as simple as that - PS3 has 256MB CPU RAM and 256MB GPU RAM, where the 360 has 512MB shared by both CPU and GPU. In real terms, the memory available is more or less equal.
I bet those people who were at the Batman premier that were attacked by that gun wielding psycho are sure glad their phones weren't disabled so they could call the emergency services.
Except it's a legal requirement that all handsets must be able to dial emergency numbers, regardless of their settings, or even if they have a SIM card or not.
So you're saying 'Don't care about the risks, because we can always fix it later'. Glad you think that - it worked so well for the banks four years ago.
The problem is you've completely missed my point, which was that it's not anti-science to express caution when doing something that could have severe wide-ranging effects. At no point did I ever state one way or another whether such an act should occur.
Re-introduction of a species could destroy a habitat and/or kill off existing species. Are you seriously suggesting that being cautious about such an act is anti-science? And are you really comparing that to 30mph+ popping a few craniums?
It's a press release - it uses units the general public is most familiar and comfortable with. For everyday activities, the difference between metric and imperial is about as significant as a single drop of water in the Pacific Ocean.
The laws of physics aren't like the laws of - the laws of physics are inviolable. Plus, they're not a source of religious faith, based on the simple fact that the laws of physics have centuries of evidence to support them.

Don't worry. It's Fosters... Not really suitable for human consumption.

AFTFY
On any other road you're allowed to drive as slow as you want, even if it's as slow as a pedestrian.
Then you get done for dangerous driving, as you're doing 4mph on a road with a posted limit of 40mph.

*points to joke*
Isn't that what I said?
Hence why I said 'more or less', not 'the same'.

Which works right up to the point they get sued for all they're worth when they do get noticed.
And why should that stop them asking?

It is always best to use IP with permission
How should a non-commercial mod team go about obtaining such permission, practically?
By asking nicely.

Can you imagine driving a flying car to work every day?
Based on the driving standards I see every day, I'm keeping four wheels firmly on the ground for now :)

No runtime generics
I seem to remember generics being added in SDK 1.5, but maybe I'm thinking of a slightly different type of generics to what you're thinking.
Maybe it's time to ditch Java altogether!
Can I keep LibreOffice if I remove Java completely?
Calm down... You can keep it - sure. (Whether it still works is another question. ;-)
IIRC, Java's only used for LibreOffice Base - the rest will work fine without it.

Or it was just grit on the scannerscope.
Urban myth - the SPECS average speed cameras are not limited to a single lane, and haven't been for a long time.

'The Undocumented Z80 Documented' covers all those 'illegal' opcodes, as well as other odd behaviours.
Damn, you set of the Shill Alarm... guess I'll have to go sort it out... *skulks to the control box*
It has a certain simplistic charm, which is overwhelmed by the stink of the pathetic.
