Oh, thanks helpfriendinator. Without your inforeply I wouldn't have been able to think outside the box to architect a synergistic model of Web 2.0 paradigms that enable me to comprehend the emergent properties of the cloud.
No, I'm talking about online polling. No doubt the slashdot crowd wouldn't like the idea of everyone having their own unique, trackable account, but it would be a hell of a lot cheaper and simpler than physical voting, whether paper or electronic.
What happens when people/lobbying firms trick other people into giving their passwords away? I would picture something like this:
District Attorney:Were you aware that your lobbyists were engaged in ballot-stuffing? Executive who hired the lobbyists:I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
This is what I worry about; it feels like only a matter of time. The only seeming way out of this is to have a law enacted that ensures consumers' rights are truly fully protected; but then, that seems like a nearly impossible goal to achieve.
We have something like that in the US. It's called the Constitution. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work very well; <rant>the DMCA tramples all over fair use, which comes from the first amendment, and noone cares</rant>.
How about just making it unmountable unless you tell the phone to mount, which logically requires unlocking it first? AFAICT that's how (an)droid does it.
Trackers are still used since some clients don't know how to do anything else. If not for such clients, BT could easily move to an already existing distributed tracking system.
RTFA, particularly the comments. A lot of people report that killing chrome.exe at the appropriate time (when it says to "close the window") makes this unreproducible, suggesting magnification data is stored in session data, not persistently.
OK, I'm from one of your colonies, so I'm not 100% up to speed with the UK's system, but can't the Queen dissolve the government in extreme circumstances (at least in theory)? I'm pretty sure she can actually dissolve our government, which IMO is quite a sensible precaution to have in place....
I'm not from the UK either, but from what I've read, that sort of thing is about as likely as the Vice President of the U.S. and a majority of the cabinet members writing to Congress claiming that the President was unable to carry out his duties, thus making the VP acting President, the President then declaring himself fit to carry out said duties, and the VP reiterating his claim, thus forcing Congress to figure it out.
In other words, it won't happen unless the PM goes completely batshit insane.
People are happy because if the SS can't figure it out, neither can the police or other mundane law enforcement who might be interested in the average person.
The problem I have with Wikipedia is that it refuses to create strict rules and follow them. It has stupid 'Notability' nonsense instead where it's just totally arbitrary.
Slashdot Mirror
He's obviously talking about Linux. Flash for Linux sucks.

O_o
So... many... buzzwords... brain... going... numb

Unless the VM is badly behaved, I would guess the bug was introduced in 3GS, from what you've told us.

TFA is talking about Lucid, not Karmic.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to either learn LaTeX, or use this thing called LyX?

Actually, according to your own link there, he probably is in many countries, including the United States.
Those countries are wrong for doing that. I was arguing that it is morally acceptable.
No, he's not stealing.
I dispute that copyright infringement == theft
a product exaclty like Coke
You mean Pepsi? *ducks*

You have a great many avenues of recourse against the government then you have against any corporation.
Why do people even think that [corporations are less dangerous than government]?
Those avenues exist at the pleasure of the government. So do corporations.

The core of Facebook is its userbase. GP claims people are leaving as a result of the loss of privacy.
I think Apple was talking about value of the trade secret, not the physical phone.
Lesson learned: deal with the Giz, you might be in the Shiz.
...how did anything Gizmodo did in any way cause him to be arrested? They were very discrete about his name, it was his roommate who busted him.
Obviously a happy population is a serious risk to our elected officials.
What about the webcam in practically every laptop these days?
Anyway, QM has nothing to do witht he [sic] experiment.
What if GR is wrong and some currently unknown theory of quantum gravity is right?
Answer: No it isn't. It's acronymising.
In this case, I'd call that "initializing". Too bad an angry mob of developers and linguists would lynch (oops that's not PC...) me for saying that.
The problem I have with Wikipedia is that it refuses to create strict rules and follow them. It has stupid 'Notability' nonsense instead where it's just totally arbitrary.
Do you know how many pages of rules (and whatnot) there are on notability?
I know you were joking, but a lot of *AA execs seem to believe the first sentence. Maybe this will fix that.
