Do you believe that 40 years from now the advances you refer to will not have manifested in products? We are living in a time of incredible technological advancement, and you should be thankful that you are witnessing thousands of "tiny steps." By your logic, because the product is not available RITE NOWZ, it never will be. Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace. Grace is a little girl who didn't wash her face.
If you support abortions that are medically necessary then you place a higher value on the mother than the fetus. Therefore, you should have no issue with abortion in all cases. Unless of course you are not being rational.
You're right, he does place higher value on the mother than the fetus; however, second to the mother, the fetus takes highest value. Therefore, if the mother (top priority) is not at risk, the fetus (next highest priority) should be protected and given the right to live. His argument is perfectly rational, you are wrong.
I actually think this is an important development for Iran and a significant threat to their local opponents. These things can be created in quantity, and probably quite cheaply: a 500 pound bomb being dropped unexpectedly from 600+ miles away? Then it simply flies back to base and grabs another bomb - and radar is important for devices flying high in the sky, but not so much for a small drone dipping between treetops over a well-picked flight path.
Not trying to be devil's advocate, but really, touchscreens vary based on quality. My Motorola Droid has INCREDIBLE touch functionality, to the point where it feels absolutely natural. It feels as natural and smooth as it could.
LOL, really? When has a "Federal Officer" ever stopped you as you were travelling within the state and asserted his authority to make you turn around and go home?
Absolutely. You would think more people on/. would be replying seriously to this article. It's incredible to think that that one ink blot had such a profound effect on the US today. Think of how much of a core element the word "citizen" has become; it's like a symbol of our freedom and unity.
He didn't say he knew whether they were using mice or trackballs. He said he knew that they were well-ranked, and that he was using a trackball. Moron.
Did you even read the article you linked? It says absolutely nothing about caving into China's government; if anything, they are only becoming more rebellious by using such a sneaky way to redirect their users. Once again, I would like to reiterate that the article linked above says absolutely nothing that the AC claims; if anything, I believe the AC simply posted a random link about Google and said that to try to sway people. Read the article he linked -- go for it.
The reason I was reading comments was so I could find an appropriate one to reply to. As soon as I read this story, I pulled up both Google and Baidu, and translated Baidu. Searching for Tiananmen Square yields nothing about a massacre, and searching Tiananmen Square Massacre only yields FOUR results. FOUR. A couple of them are regarding civilians volunteering to patrol Tiananmen Square for a holiday or something. I am absolutely blown away and until today had no idea just how bad the censorship is. Incredible.
If you tried any of that shit with a mistress, I guarantee she would not be your mistress for very long. "Just download this program, configure it, and view this random TinyPic hyperlink if you ever want to be honored by my presence and average-sized penis." What a joke; most mistresses are in it for your attention, and the more they feel they are being hidden, the better chance there is that they will drop you like a used rubber.
If you watch the above-linked video, at approximately 0:11 you will see a giant monster about to eat the Falcon 9. (This is no lie, check for yourself.)
Can you elaborate on the second sentence of the second paragraph? Sounds quite interesting but unfortunately inefficient. Lanes can be shared between "transit/commerce/utility" and "personal motorized transport" more efficiently than splitting them up (unless the ratios are 1:1 which would almost never happen). As for bicycles, for inner-city roads they can simply share the roads as they will typically go the same speed as the cars. For rural roads, they have the shoulder. For roads in between, they can stay to the side or on the sidewalk as there won't be nearly as many pedestrians.
A rigorous understanding of mathematics requires no hardware; a rigorous application of mathematics requires no hardware.
A rigorous understanding of computer logic requires no hardware; a rigorous application of programmable logic DOES require hardware.
Gotta love the/.'ers spewing fallacies all over the place every time they get excited.
Thanks for pointing that statistic out to us! Without your well-written comment pointing out for the 27th time that 13.9 out of 100,000 people in China commit suicide yearly, I would've never believed it. We would have been lost without you, Xaositecte. If only there were more people willing to play the mimic game -- never for karma, but to assist the Slashdot crowd in remembering a numerical figure.
So do you like having a 6-digit UID and the ability to instantly persuade those with mod points that the sun rises in your ass?
I feel really bad for having lashed out at poor jeko like that. Counting the number of digits in his UID makes me feel like I just picked on someone who is developmentally slow. I also believe it will come back to bite me in the bottom since those with modpoints have a tendency to mod up (read: suck up to) those with =6 digits in their UID. This must be the same sort of flawed rationale that much of the electorate follows in electing their Congressional representatives and senators, with about the same level of functionality and effectiveness.
...then that only makes the article even more damning, because Apple does not come off well in this report.
Who modded this man insightful? The first sentence he wrote was stupidly split up between a subject and body in a reply to a parent post, and although it was a valid statement anyone with half a brain could have said that. "If Mom says her kid is guilty, he really must be!" A damn monkey would come to that conclusion.
The article also provides a terrifying glimpse of your future if you work for a living.
Then he follows up with such a stupid statement afterwards, as if literally no thought was put into what he was typing. Wait, why am I complaining? Leave it to a karma-whoring/.'er to discover a revolutionary causation via a flawed correlation between working for a living and killing oneself. So much for only limiting what I see to +4/+5 posts because apparently those with modpoints are just as stupid.
The final irony? Watch me get modded down for disagreeing with the view that working for a living leads to suicide.

The filibuster is the biggest problem of the American legislative system: 51 votes to pass a bill, 41 votes to block a bill.

It would break in the blink of an eye? You believe a laser will give you maintenance and hardware problems?

Right because of PARALLAX, not stereoscopy.
Additionally, activity monitor consistently shows Safari takes up more virtual memory and percentage usage of the CPU than Safari does.

Spend two months per 0-day and you are mediocre. Spend a month and you're pretty comfortable.
I have one huge question. Is it against the law for me to drive around and write down the names of WiFi hotspots I stumble across throughout the trip?
