This is interesting. Do you know what other tech apple is licensing for the iphone/ipad? A google search only turns up the Nokia and InterDigital(3G) stuff...
The only change to the books that I liked was making Aragorn a humble and reluctant king (movie) as opposed to a pompous, arrogant douche (books). That was much needed IMO. The other stuff (like Elves in places they shouldn't be...) was a bit harder to take.
I mean, who the hell are the dumb-fuck ignoramuses granting these patents? Shit, if it's this easy i might as well start patenting silly stuff too. Nothing fills up a CV like a bunch of BS patents!
On the other hand, there have been incidences with Boeing aircraft which are believed would have been solved by automated systems such as AA flight 965 (Colombia 1995) where if the airbrake was automatically retracted the pilot would have been able to climb a way safely..
Interesting argument considering flight 965 was doomed due to it's autopilot in the first place.
"seconds are consumed as the pigs teeter, slide and roll off planks or are crushed under slow falling debris. "
This, this and this. There is something very satisfying about watching a structure teeter at the brink and then fall over in a spectacle of smashing debris.
Also, the other day i figured out that i could topple a tower by timing a bird strike to correspond with the pendular motion of the structure after an initial strike. It blew my shit away....that realization.....the satisfaction of that......the simplicity of it.... It's a good simple game, can't we just enjoy it?
A shallow 5.6 in an area not accustomed to earthquakes? Plus the flat expanse of land in that area (waves travel baby)? Plus the brick-o-rama of buildings in that area?
Yes, they are worked up about it. I wasn't there, but i would be willing to bet that THAT kind of earthquake felt substantially stronger (and was felt in a much wider area) than a similar energy release in the bay area.
I think that the reason you did not see people streaming from buildings or doing anything is because nobody knows what they are supposed to do in an earthquake.
Ironical. You're actually not supposed to run out of a building during an earthquake. So by not knowing what to do, they did the right thing.
What did you find deficient about it? What did you want it to do that it couldn't do?
You must not get a lot of emails. What's the point of email on a mobile device if I have to re-sort through my emails when I get to my desk? I don't want to have to keep track of who i've replied to and what messages I've already read and deleted. After IMAP, I really can't go back to POP. It's just a freaking mess really....
Our company uses gmail, and the IMAP implementation with the iPhone mail client has been pretty flawless (users don't even need IT to set this up...). Now the IMAP behavior with the Apple Mail OS X client...that's a different story....

That "leaked" roadmap is what Steve Ballmer get's paid billions of dollars to shit out quarter after quarter. *sigh* I hate my job....

Ice dam. cataclysmic torrent. sabertooth squirrel. It's all there.
Does this mean my wife could have a diamond of twice the size, until she looks at it?
I thought EEs understood electromagnetic induction.
But was it a unidirectional antenna pointed directly at your scrote?

Relax mate, just giving you the piss. Now off for a pint with me blokes followed by a good shag with a minging tart

Atmosphere processors. Remarkable piece of machinery. Completely automated.
