I know the Apple fanbois will be out in force to defend this as they believe Apple should be the only player in the market place, but Apple's new litigious dream of being the only player in the market is bad for everyone. Apple didn't invent the smart phone or the tablet, so if monopolies of these devices were allowed then Apple wouldn't have been able to make their beloved iDevices in the first place.
The reason Apple themselves are doing this is because they want to control the way everyone consumes media. They want to replace the PC, newspapers, magazines, and ultimately the TV putting them all under their control and charging their 30% fee for allowing access to content producers to their public. For this strategy to work long term, especially in the face of free competition from Android where large corporates can set up their own channels and distribution mechanisms, they need 80+% market share (20 - 40% just isn't enough to command the fees Apple want to charge). They've seen how their early lead in the smart phone marketplace has been eroded and now surpassed by Android, and they fear that the same will happen with the iPad.
This isn't about protecting intellectual property or Apple wanting just reward for their 'innovation'. This is a land grab aimed at capturing and locking in market share through litigation. Apple *are* scared of Android, and especially these latest tablets like the Samsung, not because they're currently outselling the iPad but because they will most likely be the first steps to Android gaining momentum in the tablet market and establishing itself as a viable competitor. Once that happens it will only be a matter of time as Apple cannot keep up with the huge variety of products their competitors will release - exactly what happened in the smart phone arena.
C language has no string. It has only char arrays, or pointers to char.
A general convention (used primarily in the libraries) was to consider a "string" being a set of characters ended by a zero-byte.
By convention in C, the last character in a character array should be a `\0' because most programs that manipulate character arrays expect it.
Images in TFA show infrared activity from March 8.
There was actually a strong foreshock on March 8 (March 9 Japan time) http://tenki.jp/earthquake/detail-3568.html
So the infrared was probably not prior to the earthquake, but during an earthquake, i.e. the foreshock.
Considering how cookies are important, like session-ID storing, the question should better be asked once only, by the browser.

Pretty quickly, it will appear obvious that the law cannot apply to cookies.
I never said the Fukushima plant problem was the earthquake itself.
This is merely of correction of the data posted here and there about the magnitude.
The tsunami itself - the main cause of the plant problems - is an indirect cause of the earthquake located in the sea bed, near the epicenter.
this was the fifth largest earthquake to be recorded in modern history
This is true, the magnitude being 9.0 at the epicenter site.
However, the magnitude at the Fukushima plant was between 6 and 7. Pretty high, still. But not 9 as a lot of people like to mention. (Was 5 in Tokyo).
Maybe my explanation was not clear enough: add to the existing "non disclosure agreement" (that has to be signed when entering the company) a clause about "hacking".
The agreement becomes an extended NDA, thus the "+".
Have new admins sign a NDA in which it is clearly said that they will not attempt to hack/perform wrongly... during and after their time in the company.
is unlikely to be seen, I'd like to give my impressions
Using FF on Linux, CSS is looking fine
I like the top bar which dark color makes it apart from the stories/comments
The Javascript, when doing a reply (actually, preview), loads faster
I like better the simpler "buttons" (Reply...), and, yes, the space between the abbr. comments (could be a bit less maybe). It helps not to focus [i]only[/i] on full comments
Like also the left navigation bar has more options while being displayed with sober colors
Apple is all about design. The pentalobular screws offer a much better look compared to some Phillips common screws.
Also, the grip of the new screws is better - so if you manage to open your iPhone case, the risk of screw deterioration is lower.

It is illegal. There are laws that protect users and allow them to access the sites they want.
If Orange is not happy with a given site, they have to follow a legal procedure to close the site, not prevent the users from accessing it.

I am a MAC user and I approve this message.
You probably spend too much time on Angry Birds...

Why don't you consider Mac as an option?
It seems those people are arrested thanks to the IP address they were using at the time.
Are they too young to know Tor and the like?
Jellyfish + Powerplant = 0
Honestly... considering the number of "caches" everywhere and in London, I'm surprised that problem doesn't happen more often.
A (serious) question: will they be able to resolve to an IP address with just the TLD? e.g. http://hp/ ?
IBM Now Officially Worth More Than Microsoft
Wasn't that true all the time?
Oh, we are talking about money...

Probably others figured out
...etc...
1. first get 20M
2. 2nd get 5M
the rest being undisclosed - could be
3. 3rd 2.5M
4. 4th 1.25M
5. 5th 0.625M
This is one of these threads where I miss the most my yesterday's moderator points...
Microsoft says the truth: a search of "Microsoft copies Google" in both Bing and Google yields different results.
This one is pretty amazing: 37 km altitude, fun to watch and nice music :-)

Don't act like it's a sig,
At least you admit it's a sig!
you are purposefully doing that
Well, I didn't copy and paste the line, just wrote it on the fly because I'm a big C fan.
I should come up with something else next time. Be ready!
About the grip?
