I got fed up by the pro version's insane resource utilization when updating. It was enough to actually break USB connection to my phone. So off it went, and I switched to Comodo. Since I can't pay for the license (being a student and whatnot), I'd rather my AV/Firewall was free...:)
ZoneAlarm and Comodo DO detect RealVNC as possible threat, asking for authorization to run, then another to connect. Same with Crossloop (which is just a shell for RealVNC with a custom connection schema, though).
Given that the Doctor says the Ganger's molecular memory may survive, there's a chance that the Doctor may be reconstructed if enough of the goo is left floating around in the ocean after the explosion. Hell, I could even imagine the goo pulling itself together, given the Doctor's tenacity, or pulling some shenanigans with hybrid powers of a Time Lord made from programmable matter (Christopher Eccleston patched the medical nanites by calling them to his hands, so I think it's fair game the replicant Doctor could possibly reprogram his own mass).
Curse of the Black Pearl^H^H^H^H^HSpot. A bolt, which, admittedly, wasn't wooden... He couldn't get the wooden door open in Silence in The Library, though.
"[...] they are the most reliably defeatable enemies in the universe."
Thing is, the Daleks were only defeated once in the new series (Parting Of The Ways), all the other times, only the current plan was defeated, and the Daleks escaped to plot again. While I do agree that they've become overused, they're the most iconic leg of the triad of classical opponents (the other two being The Master, who's been timelocked and removed from this universe, and they Cybermen, who are going to appear in the next episode). The Sontarans and the other opponents brought back from the old series don't really cut it this time around, but Moffat has been successful in creating some truly terrifying encounters (The Weeping Angels and the Vashta Nerada), and Russel T. Davies's Midnight Entity was great as well. Maybe the writers should focus on creating new, scarier menaces to bring back the "hiding behind the couch" phenomenon that defined the classic series, and thinking up a way to end the current one, or find a plausible way to weasel out of the "12 regenerations"-limit.
He did give it to his ganger to disintegrate the animalistic one (though I fail to see why couldn't they just open the door for a second, and have the real Doctor press the button), but by the end of the episode, the TARDIS generated the new one (and presumably destroyed the old one to prevent misuse), which he used to disintegrate Amy's replicant.
I think they could use the rad-hardened chips they used in, say, SOHO, and a bot could conceivably carry a bit of plate shielding in addition. Using maybe motion capture and force feedback, control would be feasible too, and there would be no real obstacles to using bots to clean everything up.
Except thrift and greed. To grab a line from Braveheart: "Not the archers. My scouts tell me their archers are miles away and no threat to us. Arrows cost money. Use up the Irish. The dead cost nothing." An extreme parable, but ultimately true.
To a degree, it does, as transcription errors occur during mitosis, and that's when things go wrong. Lower division rates mean less opportunities for an irrecoverable error to occur, because if the DNA is damaged during normal life, it's either repaired, or the cell simply triggers apoptosis and self-destructs.
It doesn't eliminate the chance, but it might lower it.
Sort of kamikazes, even if they're the good kind now. I'm not exactly familiar with the radiation levels inside/around the plant now, but even if cancer takes a long time to develop, if they take a large dose, walking ghost will get them in a week or two, and it won't be pretty or painless...
I'd say Gramma's response would be more along the lines of "Well, if it works, what do I care...", being "not computer people". And it's not like Apple or anyone goes specifically after 'shady dealers', who would be most likely to copy and sell knock-offs. Other companies phones have solid tech behind them, even if they do look close (which kinda follows from being a phone, therefore sort of restricted in its shape and design).
It's clear who is trying to run with whose designs.
And get their asses slapped with another expensive lawsuit? I wouldn't be so sure about that...
I've seen both iPhones and Galaxy S-s. They may be similar, but that's because they're both phones, with a tried and true shape. I can see Apple taking a cue or two from the Galaxy S UI design, or maybe even the Nexus S (if that's included in the suit, it has a really nice apps list), but unless the iPhone 5 makes some groundbreaking changes in the UI, or is something like banana-shaped, I don't see how Samsung could benefit from it... Now if someone was copying the LG Flutter, I'd say it has grounds.
...comes around. This should prevent Apple from taking Samsung's designs and running with them. Although I still fail to see how or why one should be allowed to patent a design. It's not like it's super secret if it's on the outside...
You start by finding a complex hamiltonian with a ground state describing the solution to your problem
I'm not a math whiz, but to me, this says: "You already know the answer to the problem"... How can this device help you, if you already have the solution? Is it used for proving the validity, or similar?
A proper science lab should be receiving the first one, not a weapons development company, and not because of Skynet, but on grounds of basic research principles. On the other hand, at least we have one...
Despite not owning any Apple products, I could imagine them pushing a silent update to all devices that simply blocks the site in question. Or starting to sign their software cryptographically, and making sure their systems only accept valid signatures. Or any other way, actually...
Natural language command would be awesome and practical. If speech recognition was worth a damn. And preferably available in all languages with the same (top-notch) efficiency.
Every little thing US military did, from the 5.56mm ammo to the Space Shuttle, the Soviets copied... even the boneheaded moves (such as these two).
I remember how the Soviets got the Stinger missile. One lodged in the airframe of a MiG over Vietnam without detonating, and the pilot flew it back home (probably sweating like a whore in confession and crapping himself a few times...). The engineers took it apart, and copied everything. Including the stamped serial numbers on some components...
I beg to differ on the Shuttle being a boneheaded move, though.
Minority it may be, but they're usually the people with better sense and judgement. I didn't trouble myself about the lack of a status bar, even while I was on IE or FF, the only thing I looked for there was the little padlock of the secure line, nothing essential.
But taking away the URL bar? NO WAY! I want to see where I go when clicking a link. I want to see if it redirects me transparently (might mean it's up to naughtiness). I want to mangle the URL if I need to, and I don't want to jump through hoops to get it done. I'll even swallow it if they remove it, but leave an option to put it back in its place, even if it's just a flag. I was pissed enough when they hid the http:// prefix, but since Chrome is pretty much the best browser IMHO, I stayed. If they remove the URL bar altogether, I'm jumping to FF. But if they follow suit, I'll end up back on IE, and I'm sure nobody wants it gaining market share again...

Daleks don't use stairs. They level the building.

Yes, I got your point myself, after I posted. I spoke with a decidedly western point of view, for whom the Kamikaze were a deadly threat.

Either way, they are heroes.

I'm simultaneously for and against this.

I'm pretty comfortable on Windows, to be honest. Not an Apple user, never plan to be, and for my XP, there's always torrents. :)

Um, thanks for the correction!
Certainly not as the only input method. But it could speed up and streamline work/entertainment a lot.
