Exactly, and also they completely left out the midwest. Well, thanks Gizmodo, if I move to the coasts I'll know what service to get, but since there weren't any tests done even close to where I live the data is totally useless.
Man, what assholes, conducting their own limited experiment, on their own dime, and then publishing their results for anyone to read free WITHOUT even ATTEMPTING to conduct it WORLDWIDE!
I hardly see why gizmodo should be sarcastically thanked for this. Their results are noteworthy: that verizon is not significantly better than ATT in areas sampled, that all this "Ours is faster!" is somewhere between "complete fucking marketing bullshit" and "Depends." Your area isn't directly sampled, but this was never meant to be a nationwide census, it was just a sampling. If you want to know how it will be in your area, do your own damn tests, don't complain because someone hasn't flown out to where you live and spent the time and money to answer your questions for you.
Having dated and then married a gamer girl, I can say from experience that a non-gamer girl will never drag your ass out of bed at 6 am on a Saturday morning to work on leveling alts with her.
True, but I think it would have been interesting to date one that did for a very short time
Girl: "Honey get the fuck out of bed, we have to level up my goddamn alt!" Me: "whaaa? You don't even like games!" Girl: "THAT'S WHY I'M SO ANGRY!"
(sigh) sadly/fortunately, my non-gamer wife isn't as conflicted as I am.
But it's surprising how many in both the computer industry and the MSM have fallen for the computer-geek-who-made-it-big public image.
Americans like the idea of the richest guy in the world being a self-made man, that's why it spreads.
I see the same thing in science too, there's a tendency to attribute big discoveries to one guy instead of a big group of which that one guy was just a part. The first author on a paper or the head of the lab are who we remember, not the second name even though that second scientist may have been the one who had the flash of insight or got the unexpected result that led to the rest of the paper. We all know it's a group effort, and there is a bit of simplifying there, but I think a part of our tendancy to do that is that we like the idea of a lone hero, one self-sufficient individual making an important accomplishment without any assistance.

What are these Google Legs you spreak of?
It's related to the famous back end that apperantly some people want to see opened. googlese.cx or something like that. Disgusting if you ask me, I really hope they keep that closed.
But see, you are just illustrating what I was talking about, in that you have to do it THEIR way. Killing scripts globally and then adding them by site helps exactly jack and squat. What if I just want A to run on the site, but not b? No choice, it is all or nothing. With Noscript I can allow just the content that I WANT, and nothing else. And I have found ABP cuts down my customers infections by a good 65%+ since so much malware comes through infected website ads.
I have to agree with this. The opera method of adding exceptions to the no script rule is not equivalent to noscript.
On the rest, however, I have to disagree. I've found opera to be very customizeable and flexible where I need it to be, which is in adding menu buttons here or there. I wouldn't know where to start making my own plugin for firefox or any other browser. For some users like me, not having to search for and install new plugins is a bonus. Since I only use opera, "their way" is the way I learn and is much better than I could have come up with. I can't compare it to firefox, so I don't know if the firefox way is usually better. Even the features I would want that opera doesn't have, you've got to give them half credit for the workarounds.
Another one of those comments that was clear in my head but now I see wouldn't make sense to anyone else.
I actually meant that as a commentary on how other browsers follow Opera's lead. I definitely did not mean to imply you should wait years rather than learn a new browser, one that's as easy to use as opera especially. I only use opera, actually, it was meant to be praise.
Anti-fanboy fanboys are the worst fanboys of them all. It's like they can't orgasm until they've called someone "fanboy." And it's not even a good insult. Fan, okay, boy, sure... fan+boy= something that's bad? I'm a fan of things and male, yes... You didn't even throw in anything vulgar.
I honestly don't know what the problem is with FF, but it seems laughable to me. I don't even think about tab restore in Opera anymore - and haven't in years. In fact, I never close pages because they just come back when I re-open the browser. I've had the same browsing "session" for years.
Between this and the positive experiences I've had with microsoft onenote, I feel like I'm letting open source software down.
I personally switched over a few years ago because, at the time, Opera was the only browser with built in speed dial, mouse gestures, email, RSS, etc. without any need for third party extensions with security vulnerabilities. Those were the killer features for me.
Just wait a year and those features will be in firefox. A few more years and they'll be in internet explorer.
You were doing so well until you made that off-topic trollish comment. It's a typical liberal rant, calling anything right of Rachel Maddow "radical right"
I think you read something that wasn't there, and in so doing, somewhat validated GP's offhand comment.
So it only measures sex on the bed. How boring is that? That leaves out the walls, floor, couch, kitchen counter, pool table, the whole rest of the house and car sex un-Tweeted.
Also what is the setup of the sensor? I'm assuming it's not a mattress sized sensor, if they're doing it on the side of the bed that could throw off the sensor. Gentle missionary style sex directly on top of the sensor would register as more vigorous sex than hard and fast doggy style sex at the foot of the bed. Plus you can get the mattress resonating without it being too hard, that would probably throw off the scale.
Unrelated note, it's probably good that I have Christmas break coming up and won't have to worry about calibrations on the equipment at lab for a few days. I've started getting a bit obsessive.
He was a politician, he disgraced himself and refused to resign, debasing the political office he held. He was a hypocrite who claimed to stand for "family values" while committing adultery, and did so in order to get into office. Same thing for gay rights while getting handjobs from men.
So sure, he's not a -sexual- predator. Maybe we can agree he's a "parasite"?
Whoever decided to make Klaudt a lawmaker is armed with weapons-grade stupidity and should be prosecuted as a terrorist.
I'd tell you the name of the guy who decided he should be a lawmaker, but then I would owe him several million dollars, and I can't give money to terrorists.
Here's a hint: his name rhymes with Blaudt, he copyrighted his own name first, and you owe him money now.
What the fuck is it that you american's live in such state of paranoia?
Better question: what the fuck is up with everyone else besides Americans assuming that one or two school officials in isolated incidents means ALL americans are paranoid? I'm not paranoid. Had I been a school administrator, I wouldn't have done shit about this. Maybe I would have e-mailed the dude and told him that no matter how cool his ex said she was, he should not come to her embalming class "just to practice."
I happen to not be the administrator though.
Some parents are irrational about school safety, but that's a universal. Every country has parents overreacting to isolated incidents. Japan is one of the safest countries, school children can ride the subways on their own many places. I remember hearing about a suicide at shinjuku subway station, and reading opinion articles by parents saying they were thinking about not letting their children ride the subway anymore because they might see someone commit suicide. Based on one incident. That's overreacting. These weren't American parents either.
If americans are paranoid more than anyone else, it's about lawsuits. The administration in question was probably being overly cautious in this case not because they suspected the woman would do anything, but to cover their own ass on the extreme off chance that she did, they wouldn't want to get sued.
Speaking as someone who has been sued for $300,000 for a skiing accident involving nothing more than a torn ACL, THAT fear isn't completely irrational.
Then they can measure the water level in the tank as the water evaporates, which was the problem they were trying to solve (and the data is better than using the "proper" instruments).
She had the following on herself -hand drawn map of downtown Jerusalem -Arabic stickers on laptop -"Fuck Star of David" pic on phone -passport stamps from Arab countries -various Arab publications -photos condemning Israeli military action in Gaza
I would hypothesize that the people who are completely obvious about being anti-Israel are probably the people Israel would least need to worry about being a terrorist. If you're going to bomb something, you don't advertise that you hate what it is you're going to bomb. If you're going to rob a bank, you don't talk about how the bank has SOOOO much money and you want some of it as you're walking in.
I realize though that Israel has dealt with would-be terrorists a lot more often than have, so maybe terrorists are just that stupid.
A day well-spent indeed! There's nothing like spending a day to save a few dollars by not having to buy a specialized sensor.
Looking at the image, I have to wonder why a lab would need to buy or build a "Toy plastic boat" sensor of any type.
There is a toy plastic boat right there. I saw it. I'm surprised they couldn't find a grad student capable of doing that. Really speaks poorly for the quality of our education system.
I was confused about that too. It does appear from TFA that a closed container is searchable without a warrant.
So... anything besides a closed container requires a warrant or what? I'm assuming an "open container" would not require a warrant. Then again, I usually find logic has no place in the legal system.
I'm also confused about the case. Was the searching the cell phone superfluous to the case? TFA states the defendant answered the phone when a coke user acting as informant called and then police searched it. Is it somehow against the law to answer the phone? Like maybe he was under probation and barred from talking to his old clients or something?

I guess this isn't really user generated content.
True. I don't think our copyright system accomodates for covergent evolution in user-generated content.
The RIAA on the other hand is staunchly opposed to evolution of any type, as it's what's threatening their buisiness model.

How did you find the entire screenplay for "Under Siege 2?!?"
I doubt the geologist is at fault. However, his defense rests on really shaky ground.
Yep. Now he's feeling the heat, and has got to be quaking in his boots.
Would you really check the URL if you received an e-mail that looked like it was from a close friend that simply read, "Check out this link: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/12/15/1652236/Project-Honey-Pot-Traps-Billionth-Spam [totalyavirus.com]"?
Yes, but I admit that is largely due to being rick-rolled one too many times.
