I would add that this law is totally invading the right of the person to eat whatever he/she wants! Who are they to tell me NOT to eat a pack of Jolly Rancher? Or to tell my kid that I should not let him/her eat this crap occasionnaly?
When did the Jolly Ranchers become illegal and subject to be excluded from school?
There's almost no limit to the bandwidth - fibres can carry trillions of bits per second
In the same sentence, they say there's no limit, and that the limit is trillions of bits per second. This means, using short scale number naming, 116 Gigabytes per second for 1 trillion bits per second.
I guess it was friday afternoon when they approved this app. So I guess it was when they approved the "I am rich" application. The latter was removed on next Wednesday.
So wait, maybe they'll remove the app later today:-)
But I don't hate Apple. I have an iPod, have had a Mac Mini (Core Solo 1st generation), but what I hate is the religion around Apple products. And like any religion, it's not worth talking about it, or should I say, debating it, since the reasons for believing in it are totally irrational.
And I guess that some Apple-Fanboy-Slashdotters have had their modpoints yesterday, they spent it on me (GP post), which proves my point. They have a very poor sense of humour.
Maybe YOU don't have a problem with this, but I'm pretty sure that receptionist Greta would. And anyway, all our apps are launched from our Intranet portal, which is the first and one of the biggest non-standards-compliant chunk. We have more than 40 in-house apps launching from there. So imagine the mess of having to tell Greta to "Open the Intranet using the big "E" for accessing those 4 apps, and open it using the cute fox for those 2". She'll start looking for another job, and she's the most competent and loyal receptionist I've ever seen.
I work as a consultant in a 5000 users company where the ONLY standard is IE6. The reason why we're stuck here is because mainly of poor development practices, using non W3C compliant standards to develop in house web applications that rely on IE6 proprietary features.
The only way to get rid of it is to put a LOT of resources (see money) on making our in house apps standards compliant. The problem is that the developpers do not have the budget necessary because the top company managers (non tech) say "Hey, we can browse the web with IE6? So no money until it does not work anymore!"
I just HOPE that in the future, development teams will fucking stick to standards!
As this kind of jokes about Apple users is getting moderated "troll", "overrated" or "flamebait" by all those Apple-Fanboy-Slashdotters, no one is willing to get his karma downgraded for something that's not worth talking about: Apple.
Ohhh yeah, that's it men. It's because of the big face on the surface of Mars that threw a tornado at the orbiter because it was sending a signal that was NOT human DNA. Now I remember the thing...
Maybe NASA wouldn't have made that mistake, but the sub-contractor could. OTOH, maybe the sub-contractor had a button to pass from Imperial to Metric units for its navigational controls, but maybe NASA didn't RTFM, and that may have caused the mistake.
One lesson though: Always use metric in science stuff. Understood NASA?
Since when is the Maple Leaf the symbol of North America? Does it have something to do with the value of the dollar? The country with the highest valued dollar has its flag tagged as North American symbol?
Or is it simply that the title of the story should have been "Volcanic Ash Heading Towards New Foundland, Canada"?
If the Web 3.0 is the censored Internet, may I stay at version 2.0 please? Or is it like Sony: "Your version of the Internet does not allow you to connect, so please update to 3.0?"
Unfortunately, staying OFF the net completely is becoming more and more difficult. From making your homework at school to searching for products for your job, it becomes increasingly hard for Joe Average NOT to use the Internet.
I think that we eventually will get most people aware of how to act safely on the Internet. But as in real life, there will always be fools who can't be educated.
The policemens should just have used their guns. Not on the sheeps, just in the air. True sheeps would have been afraid, start running, and the two guys would have had to start running too. I guess they do not run as well on their 4 "legs" than the sheeps do. Easy to find them then. Affair solved.

It's about Profit going down the drain if Flash apps make it to the iPhone!

Pretty high, but contradictory in itself.
It's Slashdot here. Nobody RTFA before posting.
Or they can buy the "iPatch" application to quit smoking their iCigarette!

No, I take time to read jokes about it! :-)

I offer 1.25$, but you pay for shipping.

Where did I say it was perfectly safe? I just said that I was able to do it all at the same time.
Of course, I was not able to hold the steering with my hands, but I was using my knee (was driving on the highway).
So this is 4 tasks at a time. I never had an accident.

Damn! I repeat myself! :-\ Must be the Placebo effect...
Most chiropractors treatments are bogus, but if the placebo effect does the job...
But the placebo effect is really great!
Learn to use the internet safely or stay off it.

Yes, but most customers are English or Chinese speaking anyway...
You know what, Lake Titicaca means "Lake small pooh" in french. Often, words mean strange things in at least one other language...
