They could kill of 99% of the cast and turn it into "The Tyrion Lanaster Show" and I'd still watch it. I think once he's dead, I'll be skipping the rest.
Dust isn't the problem. As he says, it slips off most surfaces. The big problem is oils. Go open up a computer which is used in a commercial kitchen, or that belonging to a smoker. You'll see the insides are coated in oil and tar, and that stuff collects dust like hobos collect fag ends. When they make it able to withstand 20-a-day, or 3 months in the same room as a deep fat fryer, I'll be impressed.
I've seen smoke destroy PCs, games consoles, DVD players... All of them have high-speed components utterly gummed up with oil / dust. Barely anything ever dies to dust alone unless it's left for a VERY long time.
So the appropriate response is to be there with your kid when it happens and go "These things can happen; It's not your fault. It wasn't pleasant, but there's no need to freak out. All you need to do is click the red cross and it will go away. You can always come and talk to me if you get uncomfortable about something, and you won't get told off."
I take it by "long term" you mean "hardware lifespan". Well, my HTC Desire HD is currently on year 2 of community support through XDA Developers, CyanodenMod, many other AOSP communities and modders, despite lots of new hardware being available. If Playbook really does have great hardware for the time (as did the Desire HD), then it will continue to be supported.
This is news for nerds, and nerds love to tinker with stuff. Where did you think you were?
I would swap to any bank which enabled OTP authentication for transactions.
Why can't you have an app / device into which you put your card number (or the card itself), the amount, and the merchant ID and have it output a code to give to the merchant? Date / time can be set by GSM signal, or by serial number and timing like RSA tokens. Hell, secure it with a PIN number as well if you must.
This idea seems so easy to implement, would work online and offline, and would make card fraud next to impossible without the card, the reader, and the pin number.
If getting Rage Against the Machine to 2010's Christmas No. 1 has taught us anything, it's that all that is required to make changes is organised protest. Hundreds of thousands of people were willing to spend £0.99 buying that track on iTunes, buying the album in stores etc. just to ensure that generic Britain's Got Idol Pop Factor artists wouldn't, all because one guy started a Facebook group.
"£1 to keep ACTA out of Europe" with the donation proceeds going to coffers of parties or representatives who opposed ACTA, or to cover the fees of professional speakers on the subject, media coverage, across many countries could see real change happen.
The pilots would be absolved of any liability for passenger injury/death in those cases as their job would be to get the plane on the ground ASAP.
Go talk to someone who accidentally hit another person with their car, through no fault of their own, if a "not guilty" verdict for manslaughter eased their conscience. No liability is nice, but only a sociopath would be able to dissociate themselves from the situation entirely.
If they do vote in private and approve ACTA, despite the Trade Committee's recommendation, I will be writing to my MEP questioning why I should keep him in his seat come the next election, and not spend my time and energy seeing that he is ousted at the first opportunity.
Trust is earned. If I can't trust my representatives, then I need new ones.
That only works because defending such a case is often more costly than the settlement. Heavy fines for malicious prosecution would end this in a heartbeat. Triple the requested damages plus payment of all fees, for example.
The probability of dying in an aircraft related incident of terrorism is 0.00000009607, if the math on the BoinBoing chart is accurate. This is close to the probability of getting the winning lottery ticket (0.0000000715).
You're 20 times more likely to die from being struck by lightning.
My favorite artists don't do live shows, or don't do them near me.
So buy merchandise. Or, post on their fan forums, start a Facebook group etc. stating that you want a gig in $city. If enough people join, they may well do one.
You're looking at it the wrong way. If they say "On by default" for do not track, then do not track will be ignored by tracking advertisers. Adhering to it is not mandatory. This is what they want, so they can get your personal info from private entities with nothing more than imposing logos on headed paper and some threats involving the words "could" "might" and "potentially".
I almost upgraded to the S3 a couple of days ago. Instead I put ICS on my Desire HD. Saved myself £480 in phone tariff charges over the contract term (£10 pcm no minimum term compared to £30pcm 2 year term), and got all of the functionality except for NFC, which I wouldn't use.
FYI Guns 'n' Roses isn't Guns 'n' Roses any more. It's Axl Rose and session musicians, and Axl can't sing anymore.
If you want to see Guns 'n' Roses done right, watch Slash with Myles Kennedy. He can sing far better than Axl ever could. First albums I've bought in over 5 years.

Big difference there. JA is big on here because it's tech news, human rights news, political news; All hot topics for those who know who RMS is.
You don't represent Swedish popular opinion any more than I represent British. I wish it were the case, because then this shit would be sorted rinky fucking tick. But it's not.

By disabling advertising on /. until they have to fire an editor to stay afloat.

With social networks, you are not the customer, you are the product they market to their customers.
Don't make the mistake that your details are private. These companies make money selling your information to third parties; That's all they exist for.
Don't forget that the Angels descended on two Goldwings.

You must be a member of Tautology Club.
Hit Ctrl+A. White-on-blue is infinitely easier to read.
I do agree with you, though. I clicked the link, and immediately thought "Geocities." and had flashbacks to seizure-inducing animated gifs.
That will earn the officer(s) quite a few years in a nice US Government establishment.
Their home, on full pay, while they're "suspended pending investigation"?

Are contactless cards shipped in Faraday cage envelopes? If not, can the card numbers be lifted before the card reaches the recipient?
My friend, you're going to need lots of new ones.

If you are going for non- benign, try calling it a "pedo scanner", and use the term often and loudly when young kids are lining up to be scanned.
I prefer to pronounce the brand name "RapiScan" with a long 'a'. I don't know if it's even a mispronunciation.

You mean one-click rooted and Cyanogenmod 9 supported and therefore totally open Galaxy S3?

The Nazi's medical experimentation policies did great things for medical science.
Good results from bad people doing bad things doesn't make the methodology, or the people, any better.
