I've always wondered if others find US date formats hard to read. 12/21/2012 is silly. It's not in the correct order! Month/Day/Year? As a database person I prefer 2012/12/21 or 21/12/2012 or similar.
I'm not trying to troll. It's caused problems before when exchanging emails around the world - Is the date format restricted to the US, or is it more prevalent?
A friend had a messed up birth certificate because the UK and US documents both had days 12 and the moths and days got mixed up.
missle command is free, the rest are in app-purchases (25 packs @$0.99 or all 100 for $9.99). fuck your referral!
I downloaded it a few hours ago. Got a screen that said "It's our anniversary, all 100 games are free until you delete the game from your device". I've downloaded 6 different games so far and there weren't any in-app purchases involved.
If you've already got the game I imagine you need to delete it and re-download.
"However, the Android-based Transformer has perks the iPad lacks, like an ultra-bright backlight"
The iPad 3 backlight is very bright. I doubt you could make a brighter display without having a negative affect.
I'm very surprised The Guardian published this article as-is.
A non-geek won't have a clue what most of the article means! Maybe it shows how far removed from reality RMS really is.
A layman's not going to know what a binary blob or a firmware is, and they aren't explained.
Very strange for mainstream news in my opinion.
Heh, I fondly remember the Natalie Portman/Hot Grits spam.
Often made for an interesting read.
Whatever Happened to Oog The Caveman? (Or did I just make that up?)
It was then that I realized that if I treated a dog the way they were treating my grandpa, keeping a dog alive when you knew for a damn fact he was going to die within a week, but that week would be full of horrid pain, you'd be up on charges of animal cruelty
This was one of the arguments mentioned in the show.
I've yet to see a link to it, so here it is for those in the UK that want to catch it on iPlayer:
Vodafone use different billing, customer care and CRM systems in each country and they aren't linked. I'm certain that this leak is only related to Australian customers.
The only data flow between them would be roaming CDRs and any reporting to VF HQ.

Looks like you beat me to registration by a month or three.

Looks like you beat me by a day :-)

MS Office was originally written for the Mac, then ported to Windows. Just FYI :P

The Higgs Boson is holding a press conference at midnight on Dec 24th. He's giving Christmas mass.
Made me think of this xkcd http://www.xkcd.com/978/
Install Undercover http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/. Assuming you buy another Mac :)
Awesome bit of software.

I don't advocate piracy, but there's also a torrent out there if UK viewers somehow are unable to watch on iPlayer: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6470486/Terry_Pratchett_-_Choosing_to_Die
I found it quite upsetting. Haven't been quite right at work today after watching it on the commute to work
I don't think it's any of this. I imagine Steve Jobs hates the way the DRM and key revocation/update stuff works.
Here's a Wired article about the rumoured Higgs sighting: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/04/higgs-rumor/
Having read the linked thread, it looks like it's an ATI graphics card driver problem. You can still ssh into a machine that has "crashed under load".
I imagine the SMSes will be free. I think they're USSD Requests.

There's a simulator here if you want to do some old-school coding http://www.davidsharp.com/baby/
I love how they harp on about doing this because they support open standards - They bundle Flash with Chrome!
Double standards or what?
Loads of places aren't PCI compliant yet.
It's not trivial (or cheap) to liase with multiple billing/CRM vendors and do full PCI audits, then pay for any necessary code changes.
In fact, some systems are better off replaced as it's not worth the investment upgrading legacy software. Doing so can take a good 2-3 years.
Vodafone use different billing, customer care and CRM systems in each country and they aren't linked. I'm certain that this leak is only related to Australian customers.

Speculate much?
Oh, it could've been a random lunatic, but I thought it was worth mentioning the link. Obviously nobody knows why it happened at this moment in time.
Seems somebody looked at the gun sights on this http://www.alan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sarahpac_0.jpg and acted on it. Scary.
