If Google want to prevent Android fragmentation, all it has to do is create the best SDK. If it's the best, then the majority of developers will use it and its version of Android. Fragmentation would be reduce because the majority of phones would use the same version.
Research has shown that the only way to produce high-quality software faster than anyone else is to hire top-notched programmers. Top programmers always outperform average ones regardless of the methodology, language, or platform they use. If you want to be the best, hire the best.
Write a book. Seriously. You're at the point in your career where you either go into management or you become a guru. And the best way to show that you are a guru is to write a book.
It's about physicists got serious about quantum-wave physics. Thanks to the Copenhagen interpretation, quantum-wave physics have been avoided by almost everyone. It's time for physicists to give up their religious beliefs and get on with it.
CPAN is the world's largest repository of software; all of it tested; all of it free. It is also 18 years old. Yes, there are some modules in it that were the best in their time but have been surpassed by more modern modules but some of them were so well written that nothing modern has replaced them. To determine what module would be best for your application, I suggest you ask. Sites like PerlMonks http://perlmonks.org/ are happy to answer any question.
An excellent example of why patents should be eliminated. The main problem with patents is that they are relatively easy to get but very, very hard to get rid of. This means they will expand and encroach into very corner of business. Look at the illegal patents we have so far: software patents and genome patents. It's time to get rid of them completely.
Copyright law is not about protecting copyright. It's about creating monopolies. Current copyright holders want the ability to take down sites of their competition. All this talk about protecting copyright is just a ruse to get lawmakers to pass their laws.
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago there was the Earth. But the gods didn't like it so they sent a killer planet to destroy it. The planet smacked into the Earth but their aim was off. Instead of destroying the Earth, it just knocked off a large piece of it. "We'll form that piece into a moon and hang it in Earth's sky as a warning," they said. And when they were done, they were satisfied. But there was some material left over from the Moon which they threw away; forever doomed to go around the Sun.
Q: Could some of these near-Earth asteroids be left over from the Big Smack?
It's dedicated teachers that make the difference, not the technology (or lack of it). If the teachers are dedicated and free of micro-management, then their students consistently preform well. That's the lesson to be learned.
With Halloween coming, I should expect scary things but this, "'Had SureView been on Bradley Manning's machine, no one would know who Bradley Manning is today,' says Ryan Szedelo,..." is probably the scariest thing I'll read all month.
Feathers evolved to enhance parachuting, that is, slowing the fall when jumping out of trees. When the smooth scales of lizards began to change, they didn't enhance any survival trait except create greater wind resistance. This slowed the creature down when it had to jump to get away from predators. Even today, small mammals jump from heights and use their fur to slow them down. There is no question, early birds were accustomed to jumping from heights and wings evolved to change the jump to a glide.
That's because it's not 3D; at best, it's 2½D. The back side of the objects are not projected. There are true 3D projectors that create objects that are viewable from all sides (without special glasses). I call them 3D-in-a-box. You can stand in front of it and see things in 3D while somebody else can stand on the other side of the projector and see the other side of the objects (in 3D).
I wished they stop lying by calling it as 3D but that's not likely to happen.:(
I don't see what the complaint is about. For years, the governments of the world have a no-fly list. If your name appears on it, you can't fly. It doesn't matter if you didn't do anything wrong, because Governments Are Always Right. Stop whining.:)
The problem is that there are going to be two DNS. The official one maintained by the governments and the underground one maintained by those who believe in Freedom of Speech. There is nothing technically difficult in having many DNS. It has only been the convenience of having everything in one list that has prevented the breakup. But now, there is a reason for it to happen.
You missed the point. Patent trolls do not produce any product; they do not have facilities to produce any product; they not have plans to produce any product; and they are not trying to sell the patent to someone who can produce a product. They have no loses; they're not entitled to any compensation.
If an inventor is trying to sell his patent, there is a trail of evidence to show this. There would be letters, emails, meetings which show he is making the effort. But just saying, "look I have this link patent, I offer to license it for $0.10 for each web browser user that uses it, so with about one billion browsers that's a loss of $100 mln on license alone," is not an offer. He has to make an effort; either through direct soliciting or by an advertising campaign but he will always have something to show that he made the effort.
Now if someone could convince a judge that companies (like patent trolls) that suffer no loses should get no compensation, then things might start looking up.
True, but the biggest reason for that is because we can prove the OS is true. Most programs rely on the OS for some functionality, like I/O, and until the OS is shown to be true, no program can be.

Animated SVG have been around for a while. Check out this clock.
Seems like a good argument for eliminating both copyright and patents.
I've stopped using printers years ago. They're simply not needed anymore. Who cares if the US government is using them to secretly spy on you?
"new types of entertainment" Duh, they're called apps.

How about the Intergalactic Communication Unit (ICU) to remind people that it can be used for communication as well as research.
If astronauts are hunting indigenous life, then they're the aliens. One would think that Slashdot would get that right.
Can't be much of a holiday with cake. :(

Congratulations. The US Senate has just guaranteed that the DNS will fracture. Nice going guys and gals. :(
