What, really? Because it might take 4 months to get a permit? I bet that any potential space travel business will have more than a 4 month lead time from conception to launch.
Mario Kart's online is flawless, actually. SSB online was doomed to failure no matter what- the tiniest bit of lag ruins the split-second timing necessary to really intense play.
Mariokart doesn't need quite the same split-second timing, though.
Yes, it's a cell phone, to be useful cell phones require a cellular provider. If you're going to add service into the price of it, why not also add the price of electricity you use to charge it, the pants you keep it in, and a house since you need a place for all of those pants.
You forgot to mention that Apple SPECIFICALLY told you NOT to put it on your phone because it was unstable- and you hacked the lockouts and did it anyway. You also didn't mention that you could simply do a restore in iTunes and get a working firmware in about 2 minutes.
But, I guess that getting on the front page of slashdot is more important.
Did you seriously just post an unsolicited commercial message in a thread about how unsolicited commercial messages are watering down legitimate communication mediums?
No, you broke it again- my parents are on Comcast and it suits them fine. They don't bittorrent, they don't download much of anything- they send email and read some websites and very rarely watch something on youtube. They're use very little bandwidth and Comcast does not interfere with anything they do.
My point was that he really can't claim to be "exploited" when he freely made a decision to work there. It's unlikely that anyone would take a job without knowing what it paid- if a person takes a job that's grossly underpaid, it isn't management's fault.
I think I see your problem- at most companies your boss makes money but -and here's the key- you also get paid. Next time you interview for a job try asking about what they'll be paying you and factoring that into your decision. I think you'll feel less exploited when you start collecting a paycheck.
Arduino is an open hardware project. It consists of a base board with certain capabilities, and you can buy (or build) "shields" to add capabilities to the basic package. The ethernet shield for example adds ethernet capabilities to the thing.
sorry, I guess I thought you were siding with the guy who was saying "well it's a theory that I agree with so let's call it a 'law'". as in... "you say theory, I say law" not "you say law, I say theory"... never mind, that's what I got from your post the first time I read it.
It's called a law because it was written before it was considered bad form to call things "laws" and we've just kept calling it that out of respect and tradition. Newton's Law of Gravitation is provably wrong- maybe YOU should look it up.
You seem to think that calling something a "theory" is a negative thing, or suggests that it's likely false. Science doesn't really have any "laws" - Newton's laws are CALLED laws but they're really theories, like everything else. It's entirely possible that someone will come up with a better explanation of inertia next week, for instance. We're always refining our knowledge of gravity- and evolutionary theory is still young compared to gravity. To suggest that we have a 100% accurate, immutable, flawless understanding of evolution is nothing less than blind arrogance. By saying this am I suggesting that the theory of evolution is untrue? Not at all.
That's fair, because evolution IS a scientific theory. So is Gravity. Hopefully they'll also teach the kids what it means to be a theory, and that "theory" doesn't mean "wild-ass-guess".
He's telling a joke- I realize that it's probably hard for you to understand since your concept of humor is limited to Princess Bride quotes, but just try to accept it.
And shockingly enough it hasn't crumpled under the massive weight of an extra couple hundred GET requests. Shocking!
Ever notice that the only sites that actually succumb to the slashdot effect are hosted on shitty open-source blogging platforms running on 233mhz boxes over the webmaster's mother's DSL line? When, say, Google News links to a news site being run on enterprise hardware out of a real datacenter on a platform with paid developers, everything seems fine.
Slashdot Mirror
It means that Facebook is owned by a US company and hosted in the US, and therefore falls under US jurisdiction.
The typical youtube uploader can't even manage to tag their videos properly. Giving them MORE options is just dangerous.

this is the first time I've ever seen slashdot put an image in the post- welcome to 2001, guys!
You're going to spend that much for a cell phone contract anyway. What's your point?

Even if that were true (it isn't) it would STILL be the router's fault.

iPhone loads the higher quality .MP4 video because it can't play .flv - Apple TV probably does the same thing for the same reason.
No, it's called a shield. You're right, it's just an expansion board, but they call it a shield.
I guess because they sit on top of the board and "shield" the processor? I don't know.
Here are some pictures that might clear things up: Shields

Iran hasn't lost connectivity, the specific router that Internet Traffic Report is checking has lost connectivity.
Even the University that hosts the router that ITR is checking is still up: http://www.iust.ac.ir/
That hole was patched almost instantly by Apple.
