    most point and shoot are less expensive (less than 200$) , smaller and waaaaaaaaaaay better than any camera phone out there!

    no why?
    But from a link from a link in TFA : make trolls pay http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/05/opinion/make-patent-trolls-pay-in-court.html?smid=pl-share&_r=1& . "This particular judge is trying to do it" would be a fair assumption
    Unfortunately I can not be in a jury like this one : I'm not a US citizen. I'm Canadian and if there is ever something like this her I'd ask the same question and I'd be happy to.

    there are those who don;t care (I've seen a lotand alost got run over by one) and there those who at the aproach the intersection slow down and stop if necessary (and I've seen alot more of those on foot and in a car). I for I dont; care if other people care or not, I speed when I can (clear road sunny day) and don't when I can't (snow, rain, traffic ... etc) and from what I have seen on highways a lot of those who "speed" do the same. (about 20-25 Km/h above the limite) From time to time you get an ass hat zigzaging (at around 160-180 km/h) on a not so empty highway (usually I make sur to ne get in their way). no so long ago I got stopped by one of these cops. I disanged the cruise to down shit while going down a hill, the ca sped up, at the end I pressed the wrong button - set instead of resume - it took me like 30 second to relize that, when I was about to correct my error I saw a crazy white -police as it turned out to be- car following me, so close that I wasn't even able to see the reb/blue lights -day time, so no way to know it was a police car- forcing me effectively to keep up my speed. and I got a ticket for that. While the cop got away whith very very dangerous behavious (usually et big ticket if you do it)

    Obscene would a euphemism. For a lot parts they play the quality card, and they are priced slightly above the market price (somehow OK). But the exclusive parts ... they stop short of asking for your first born.

  15. Re:How do I middle click my trackpad? on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1
    touch/track pads theses days can detect multiple fingers (OSX does it by default and better with little help), the most common "tap" mapping 1 finger : left click 2 fingers : right click 3 finger: middle click.

    there is no way to replace existing text with paste,

    Put in the the context of a terminal and you'll see (copying commands around, editing files -especially with VI etc ..). And easily mitigated if you nuke existing text before selecting the new one (force of habit). saves you a lot of clicks, and finger yoga.

    Which is by far the worst thing ever on a phone/tablet (especially on the phone). I don't know how they -mobile touch screen devices- could have done it differently. But at least they have an excuse - it's a mobile device with a tiny touch screen without a mouse -. select / middle click past is by far the BEST feature on X (which can be ~emulated on OSX with better touch tool, and native with X11 running for X11 application). They've written a book on the art of desktop destroying.

    what ever the coste of the said mold, his point stands. The mold in question wasn't manufactured for the sake of the replacement parts alone, it was there the day the vehicule was designed therefor the it's cost is alread subsidized/recouped by the sold units of said vehicul model. The dealer only parts are expensive b/c the dealer can charge anything and get away with it (no way of getting the part elsewhere) point in case : the refregerant pipes of a mazda protge (not so long thin tubes of what seems to be aluminium) costs about 200$ a piece and the only way to get them is through a dealer you can get an after market A/C compressor for 250-300$ (which is a way more complicated piece of engenring that contains way more metal(s)) why ? may be b/c the dealer is not the only place where you can get one.

    and no one will care, they don;t have to distribute them directy just pull them from the device before doing anything else. anyone who has access to the phone has access to those binaries.

    the whole thing was about using/not using it in /dev/random (the random number generator of the kernel ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RdRand rdrand is a cpu instruction to get some random number from a embedded hardware random number generator (a chip) as is mov, add, mul, or, XOR ..etc. the comment you quoted (from kernel doc) is simply stating that even though you disable it's use in /dev/random any user space code running (program) might use it ( as it can use any other cpu instruction)
