Thanks you for a advice. Are you available profread for me? Pay $1000 day, work at home. Send name and bank number to malgod@malgot.org an will advance you paymet for first work.

You owe me $1000, send me your bank account number and I will collect the fee directly.
You failed to list these in terms of revenue as a multiple of production value. With the exception of Slumdog Millionaire they are all in the 2-4x range. Not to mention that Hurt Locker was no Slumdog Millionaire...
They are hoping to cash in on people who just cut a check as soon as they see the subpoena letter. Who knows if they will even aggressively pursue anyone who doesn't come forward without a fight. At 47 cents a letter (plus a few cents for paper and an envelope and paying someone to machine them all) they are probably not spending more than $5000 plus the time it took in front of the DC judge. If they get only a 5% response rate they are already way ahead.
Don't forget the process of starting to shut down, then acknowledging a lid-close event and overriding the shutdown with a suspend, only to resume shutting down as soon as the lid is re-opened? This is actually a semi-acceptable best-case; the worst-case is acknowledging the lid-close and *trying* to suspend, only to fail at both suspending and shutting down and locking the system on until the battery dies...
I can see the patent filing being pretty long. Hope the lawyers had their bibs on when they dug into this feast.
Ah but to many it *is* a killer app. A blackberry-killer app, to be specific. Without a good set of VPN tools, Android phones are destined to be glorified social-media beepers. The only way to be taken seriously in the business world is if you take the business world seriously, and the first thing a phone needs from that perspective is security. While you are right that consumer handsets have little to no use for VPN tools, corporate handsets have EVERY use for them.
Surely we don't need big brother getting involved, right? I mean how hard could it be to write an app that detected fake app reviews, that way people who want to see only genuine reviews can simply buy that app and they will have easy access to the best reviews available. Or perhaps once people realize that the iTunes app store is overridden with useless, poorly written apps they will take their dollars and talent elsewhere? I mean surely after 10 or 20 reincarnations of the same useless fart app gets released, it will be obvious that Apple's marketplace is too bloated to be useful...
Asking the government to get bigger to accommodate protecting us from some joker posting fake reviews is not the right answer!
"What could possibly be the difference between raid0 and raid1? Come on, who would put those radio button choices so close together if they really meant opposite things!"
What does mean mean again? Oh, that's right. If you want a MTBF of 50 years, you can either get one unit and run it for 50 years to prove yourself, or you can get 100 units and run them for 6 months... To be sure, it doesn't automatically take into account mechanical wear but any engineer worth their salt can extrapolate acceptable wear rates with 6 months of data (and that's only if you are talking about systems with moving parts)...
Right now the virtual displays that you wear as eyeglasses simulate a screen in front of the wearer, but they are limited in resolution to something like 1024x768.
It would be awesome to have lightweight, high-resolution, wearable displays that would allow interaction with the visible environment just by turning your head. Lots of gaming/simulation possibilities.

Possibilities like not needing to waste desk space with a monitor? Technically one person can't (with normal vision) look at more than one display at a time; yet having 2,3, even 4 on a desk is becoming increasingly popular. A pair of display glasses with accurate motion sensors could give you a display of unlimited size. Plus! Now my desk will have room for that Zen garden...
What does mean mean again? Ah nevermind. Odds are 2 out of 3 it will fail outside of business hours anyway. And if that's the case, no one will notice!
Really. This is a studied phenomenon; those who don't know words for things have a nearly impossible time using the "thing" in their thoughts (be it a noun, verb, adverb, etc.) Child development can be marked by what words they learn and when; prior to learning certain words they will blatantly fail simple logic tests that those with a full vocabulary have no problem passing. If you are curious, there was an *excellent* RadioLab piece on this very subject, available here: http://blogs.wnyc.org/radiolab/2010/08/09/words/
Thus, it begs the question: Even supposing I wanted to use Ubuntu, why would I want it to look like Windows 7?
You're messing with us, right? If you were to *properly* invoke "begging the question" here your counter argument would need to be along the lines of "it is not proven that potential users of Ubuntu ever want for a UI that looks like Windows 7"...
The frustration is that at this point almost no one knows what begging the question (in the fallacious sense) is, and instead insist it has a very dumbed down meaning that is little more than the sum of the words ("begs the question" simply must mean that the question wants to be asked... right? amiright?)
Ah hell, these days I am just grateful if someone knows what a fallacy is at all. God, how it hurts to be smart.
Option A) The numbers station UVB-76, in operation for almost 30 years, was used solely to send a grand total of 23 military orders of very short length.
Option B) The numbers station UVB-76, is used to fuck with the West. Military orders are broadcast on Russian cable TV.
I have to say, I am leaning toward option B.

I am not that into HAM stuff, but I am almost absolutely positive that a 3m satellite receiver dish (designed for something between 4GHz and 18GHz) would do you absolutely no good when trying to pick up.004GHz transmissions. I could be wrong though.
Inquiring minds want to know! Lets see, the most we could probably get into the building is 32KV, at 26 amps on a 3 phase line we can use 2.4 MW before crossing their limit. That should be enough for a little bit of supercomputing.

Aren't half the condos in Naples built on reclaimed swamp land? Probably more than half by now...
I doubt the people who bought that land are crying themselves to sleep at night. Just saying.

then why wouldn't it be 13 times per year?
Because 12.3683 is closer (somewhat) to 12 than it is to 13?
Hint: 12.3683 is the number of synodic months per year
