There are several software products available similar to one by Adobe called "Photoshop" (you may have heard of it). These products have the ability to, for instance, crop a badly composed photo or to rotate a skewed image to make it appear level. They can also do things like compensate for bad exposure or contrast. You don't think that, just maybe, the photographer applied some of these techniques to these photos, do you?
This also answers the copyright issue. If the photographer has modified the image to improve composition, lighting etc with Photoshop, then he has had some creative input and can claim copyright on the processed images (in my opinion as a non lawyer).
Honestly, by the time I get home, I'm exhausted. And then there's the normal housework stuff to take care of. And trying to cram in family time.
Looking for a job, when I've already got one, seems like a very low-priority task.
The former of these sentences demonstrates absolutely that the latter is false. If you're always exhausted by the time you get home from work and you have to "cram in" family time, finding a better job is your absolute highest priority.
The Inverse Square law applies to fragmentation munitions.
Does it? I kind of thought that the inverse square law relied on things moving radially outwards in all directions in three dimensions. Here on Earth all of the shrapnel is going to end up on the ground - a two dimensional surface.
Had the police known it was a harmless package in advance, I'd understand your point. Unfortunately, in the UK, we have had some experience of harmless looking packages in the past.
You do understand the difference between "harmless" and "harmless looking" don't you?
That's weird, I'm exactly the opposite. I'll happily apply all sorts of potentially dangerous updates to my own devices without bothering to back up anything, but when it comes to my girl friend, parents, brother, friends, in fact anybody else. I won't go near it without a verified back up. I also will not attempt to change system software on anybody's devices except my own in any way without being specifically requested by the owner.
Seriously.... I thought the problem was with xcode 4.
In what way is not being able to handle arbitrary paths to your source code not a problem in Xcode 4? If this turns out to be the issue, you should report the bug to Apple.
I haven't upgraded to Xcode 4 yet because of all the stuff I've read mainly on the Xcode mail list about how bad it is. If the people who have problems report them to Apple, hopefully, it won't stay bad.
The article says he gets 80% of the revenue on Android that he gets on iTunes. On the assumption that the app is the same price on both platforms, and on the assumption that Google takes the same cut (30%) that Apple takes, he sells more iPhone copies than Android copies but nowhere near by a factor of four.
If Google takes a lesser cut he is probably selling more copies on Google.
However, I have just checked the game on iTunes and I see it currently has only 597 ratings for all versions of the game (453 for the current version). So I would think the blog post from which the 4,000 figure comes from has a typo in it.
When Windows NT was first released, it officially supported three processor architectures, x86, DEC Alpha and MIPS. None of those is ARM, but the design of the kernel included a hardware abstraction layer that makes it relatively straight forward to port it to new architectures.
The Uk doesn't extradite people if there is any danger of the death penalty being applied. Of course, that doesn't stop the Americans saying "hey yes, we promise to only do him for the 10 year crime" and then changing their minds when they have got their hands on him.
You shouldn't be trapping either of those exceptions. They are both indicative of an incorrect assumption on the part of the programmer which means that the program's state is no longer trustworthy. The only safe thing to do is get out and start again.
A fair proportion of OS X has its roots in BSD. In the kernel, the virtual file system and the network stack were originally taken directly from BSD. The system call API has BSD semantics and quite a lot of the command line utilities are ported from BSD. The BSD part was there from the start, long before OS X achieved Unix certification.
It's impossible to differentiate between gravity and acceleration. This is one of the major planks of the General Theory of Relativity.
However aircraft pressurisation is another matter. Cabin pressurisation is normally set at the equivalent of 2,000 metres. Descend 2,000 metres in 3 minutes and people will notice.
What do you think the demand was for machines to break the ciphers of Nazi Germany after they surrendered?
There's no way that the machines were going to end up in a museum because the last thing the British government wanted was for the World to know how successful they were at cryptanalysis.

The evidence at the moment is that it can't do either.

15% of the British public read it. http://www.nmauk.co.uk/nma/do/live/factsAndFigures?newspaperID=7
That means that 85% don't.

E) The ability to smell things on other planets. What does mars smell like?
Why does slashdot think that this sort of thing would be on all the time, an for every show?
as long as you don't make me smell Uranus.
I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Oh. What's it called now?
Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you.

Maybe I'll go to Mexico and kidnap one.
It would be embarrassing if it turned out to be yours already.

You could have nicked the C99 stdint.h. I've just had a look at it and it looks like it should compile in C++.
Yes, but it is though isn't it. C++ is now huge and it's virtually impossible to write a compliant compiler because its syntax is so complex.
Yes and in fact, if the constant starts with a leading zero, they should have really got it done by the end of 2007.

The article description is a fail. One of the screen shots shows an iSSH session logged into what appears to be his iPod touch.

DO know that Apple is bringing the app store to OSX via lion, yes?
The App Store already exists. It does not lock down OS X in the same way as iOS is locked down.
Apple WILL lock down OSX
No they won't.
It would be suicidal to lock down OS X in the same way as iOS.

No it wasn't.
I do. All you need is a mini display port to DVI (or VGA) adapter.
Let me post a random article from Wikipedia.
