I wonder. Google has become synonymous with search, could they lose their trademark for it becoming generic? I can't say how much it hurts to hear people say they googled on yahoo for the answer.
You do realize that those people have been paying taxes all their (working) lives for their existing benefits. When they push for more benefits, it must be nice to not have to pay the additional taxes.
I would honestly expect the iPhone 4s to get worse battery life compared to the iPhone 4. Most likely they use the same battery, while the 4s has a dual core processor, which I would expect to draw more power.
Considering that Apple has a long history of covering up problems, then downplaying them when they become impossible to suppress, whereas RIM doesn't have the same issue, I have to agree with your comment at face value, but disagree with the sarcasm I am sure was meant by it.
Funny, but the MacBook Pros, if left plugged in ruin the battery in about half a year. I wonder if Apple used the same shoddy charge circuit in the iPhone.
Especially Apple. Buying out a company that already has a product, then removing that product from the App Store and the Market so they are the only ones with it isn't innovation.
The problem as I see it is that many people (religious and non religious) take the bible to be either fiction, or non fiction, people seem to forget that the bible is a collection of books. The old testament was a collection of oral stories that were brought together into a book. No one should take it all as historical fact. Noah's ark most likely came from a story of a localized flood, and was massively exaggerated in the telling. The creation story is just an explanation of a possible creation seen through the eyes of a people who don't understand how things came about.
The new testament is a collection (made much after the death of all the writers!) of stories of Jesus from different perspectives, as well as "other stuff". When you try to take the bible as a completely non fiction book, you are starting from ignorance of the origins of the book.
I consider creationists and the people attacking creationists to be intellectually challenged people. Would you argue with a mentally challenged individual? Than let it go!
Having never played World of Goo, I don't know much about it. I tried to find it on the Android Market, but it isn't there, is it a game that would lend itself well to a phone? I wonder how many sales the dev would have if he ported it over.
Plutonium contamination has been detected in the soil at two sites in the plant
ok, yeah, there was Plutonium found
although further analysis revealed that the detected densities are within limits from fallout generated from previous atmospheric nuclear weapons tests.
OK, so the Pu could have been fallout from when Japan was bombed? or from atmospheric testing?
Two workers hospitalized with non-life threatening radiation burns on 25 March had been exposed to between 2000 and 6000 mSv of radiation at their ankles when standing in water in Unit 3.
OK, so they were exposed to radiation (not a large amount BTW, and in their ankles, not their lungs)
Follow-up examination at 11. april from National Institute of Radiological Sciences was without confirmation.
IOW, they were unable to find evidence of radiation exposure
Most of the things being done in the area around the plant are of a precautionary nature, as no one knows exactly how much was released, or if it is even an issue. Sure, it was a terrible disaster, but MANY more were killed or displaced by the tsunami than were exposed to radiation.
It would seem a small group of Chinese are better at picking the leaders for the entire country, so lets switch to the same system!
Sounds like a good description of how the President is elected with electoral college votes rather than public votes. A president in the USA only has to get the majority of the electoral votes, s/he doesn't need a majority of the popular votes, though usually one follows from the other.
So, if all your kid had to do at 4 was to click a button, and it charged your credit card, you think s/he would hold back somehow? As far as I recall (it has been a few years) my kids knew their alphabet at 4, but could not read much yet. Giving a child (through default settings) the ability to charge their parent's credit card through in app purchases should be considered fraud. You should always have to type a password to charge a credit card. PizzaHut.com makes me enter my password every time I order a pizza, why can't a phone?
Could you put a chargeback on the transaction with your bank as you didn't authorize the charge? Your kid, or any random person who picks up your phone is not an authorized user of your credit card; only you are the authorized user. I noticed this recently on my Android phone too, I tried out an in app transaction, it connected to my Google wallet (I guess? the screen didn't say, just had an old expired CC) with no password entry, and had an ok button to charge the card. What if I had dropped my phone on the ground at the gas station, anyone could have used the phone to buy stuff. My understanding is that the default iPhone settings are still to allow a 15 minute window after entering a password before it is forgotten; this is not a good thing.
It is pretty much a given that most people in the world don't change the default settings. My understanding is that the change was not made to the default, but was made to give you the option of changing the behavior. I don't have an iPhone, I prefer Android, so I can't check the setting, but if it still defaults to the 15 minute window, that would be good reason to believe that many kids would utilize that 15 minute window to their advantage, and most likely mom and dad wouldn't even notice.
The hard drives in copiers don't work that way. Copies/normal print jobs aren't stored on the hard drive, but in memory. When you send a job with retention, or send it to the document server, it is stored on the hard drive. Document server stuff would typically be form letters and the like, but the retention jobs might be interested. Unfortunately, all modern copiers encrypt the hard drive, so you aren't likely to get anything off of it.
The problem I foresee with this is that in Win 7, once you hit yes to a UAC prompt, it caches that yes for a bit. It works kind of like Ubuntu in that respect.
In BWI they have a scanner of some sort, and I looked at the output as I walked out of the machine. It showed a generic outline and highlighted areas for further inspection. For me, it highlighted my forehead as I forgot to remove my sunglasses, as they are plastic with very little metal, I am guessing it was a mm-wave machine.
Slashdot Mirror
I thought it would be more Doom episodes...
That would be because Terra Nova shows on Fox, and Fox has nothing to do with science :)

Let's hope not...Comcast sucks...

jovius:
It depends how important a resource humans are for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have not learnt to bite through nets either or stand insect repellants.
Narcocide:
Never seen repellant-resistant mosquitoes have ya? Clearly you've never lived near swamp land. I'll give you the rest of that point though.
So, the rest of the point is about the nets (assumed) which is what he was saying "I won't" to.
Along with the above replies, I would like to leave this link here:

The Catholic Church is not against evolution. As others have said in above threads, religion seeks to answer the why, not the how or what.

Did you read the link a bit higher?
http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/deaths-per-twh-by-energy-source.html
Solar has .44 deaths/TWh .04 deaths/TWh
Nuclear has
That doesn't even include all the deaths from solar panel construction waste products in China.
Yes, solar power kills more than nuclear ever has.
