That's a bit heavy-handed. It's just money, inconvenience, and credit score that will be harmed. No real damage to life and limb.
Oh, really? And what happens when I won't be able to charge the operation that my ailing grandmother needs? I mean, quadruple bypass surgery and double lung transplants don't just grow on trees, ya know!
It's my understanding that fiber optic cable has speeds that are limited by the electronic conversions on either side. Is that what is the issue here as well? How well could this (for lack of a better term) internal light mesh with an external (fiber optic) light?
Hmm... are they available for other phones too or just the iToy?
That's a good question; one which I asked myself as soon as I really read the page. I've got a crackberry, and would honestly be interested in something like this for it when I ride my scooter... uh... I mean... Harley.
On the other hand, there are those rare times that a virus attacks a "safe" site, almost like your wife of 30 years getting infected from a blood transfusion and passing it on to you unknowingly.
Uh huh. Ain't gonna happen. Guy married for thirty years? There's been an air-gap there for at least twenty seven.

Whoa, wait a second. Didn't you know that one of our fine Indian slashdotter friends would have fixed that for you, and at a lower price? What's wrong with you? Don't you want to save a few pennies?

I know a gadget-hoarding amish pneumatic engineer. Converted my dremel for me.
Dude.. into what?
Into an ox-drawn plow, naturally.
Do you mean: Don't, do nothing. or Do something?
The latter. Of course, I don't know why anyone has to explain it; it was really quite not unclear.
SMACKDOWN!
*grins* Yeah, okay, point made.

Not so smug now, are we?
This is just some douchebag professor trying to ride the tragedies to fame.
What do you expect? The guy's name is Massengill, after all...
Give me some unadulterated car tech geekery! Battle of the Engineers!
Junkyard Wars FTW!
So yes, SI as base-10 precedes the standards-breaking use among computer engineers and computer scientists by well over 100 years.
Wait a second. Are you talking 100 years, or 102.4 yirs?
Hold on, I'll be right back after I sync my mug with the coffee machine.
So you're saying that it's a kitchen sync?
So if I made an article which compares breast implant trends from the 60's to now as long as I used math it would make it here?
Well, sure, as long as you posted your math.
And pictures. Lots of pictures.
This is, after all, Slashdot, where we simply could not just take your word for it and I, for one, would feel compelled to replicate your findings.
I'm a fan of the IRS, I have a t-shirt, mug and one of those giant over-sized nerf hands with the pointed index finger.
I'm not a fan of the IRS. I have a t-shirt, mug and one of those giant over-sized nerf hands with the pointed middle finger.
I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of businesses who have prior art over crack dealers on this.
Unfortunately, prostitution isn't one of them.
I've already said too much. They're looking for me now, I can hear the helicopters.
Dude, relax. They're Microsoft helicopters. They'll crash long before they get to you.
Doesn't apply to private animals then?
No, but it does apply to animals' privates...

While sitting at your Rock Bank Drum Kit, enter the following code (making sure it's in the proper order, otherwise it WON'T WORK):

Any serious geek has one of these.

Altruism is the root of all evil.
Wait a second. I thought the love of money was the root of all evil. And since I happen to love money for it's sake...
