Japanese samurai armor looks much more comfortable, with the joints being unhindered and the armor plating hanging loose, while still offering a comparable degree of protection. Then Roman and Greek armor look increasingly comfortable while protecting less, but that must have been vital given the climes of those locales.
Windows 8 is probably gonna be a reskin of Windows 7 with some new file system "magic". Look at how rapidly Windows 8 is coming out after Windows 7. It's plausible because they didn't have time to change that much.
Also, CPUs haven't gained in power since before Windows 7 came out due to the current limits of silicone.
is to simply take an extended camping trip without 3G/4G. Bring some books. Life is quite fulfilling without internet. You don't need it as much as you think. Once you're free from its constant distraction you'll find more meaningful, lasting ways to distract yourself. Take up a physical hobby.
I would think it's being installed into memory reserved for the OS which is why it can't removed on an unrooted phone. On the plus side, you're not losing space for user apps, besides the SD card space for textures and stuff.
The concept of the autopen means that it's not the hand that signs it that matters, but that a pen inscribed the President's signature correctly. A fax machine only fulfills half of that deal.
Last night marked the day a robot granted the same powers as the President authorized other robots (wiretapping machines) to have control over some part of citizens' lives (to covertly monitor them without their consent).
Everyone was very hard working, at least in the San Francisco office (we had the best pay in the area), most of us had been unemployed for a long time and were extremely grateful for the steady paycheck. But office morale rode the tide of PBOCS crashes. Not just the servers were bad, but the client software's semi-random glitches were also revealed when server communications were too slow or lost en route.
I for one wondered why the government failed to do proper server load testing far ahead of an operation this massive. And despite all the downtime they used for troubleshooting, they never managed to significantly improve performance even till the end of the Census.
A full combat implementation was one of the natural potential developments, and I think Brink will do it well, even if it doesn't give the original any credit.
Remember the rules of conspiracy theorizing: if something is evidence against the conspiracy, it's a deliberate deception; if it's evidence for the conspiracy, it's just evidence.
Seriously though, good points. And if the Stuxnet authors made such elementary mistakes, why didn't they also make more serious ones? Sounds like a built-in red herring to me. Think about it: if the worm was too perfect, it would narrow down number of entities capable of producing it considerably.
I can't believe no one on Slashdot has played with the actual XM25 itself in a game that came out June 2008, 2.5 years ago. You can test its battlefield effectiveness there yourself, in a combat environment similar to what we're seeing today. And the plot takes place in 2014, which makes the fielding of this weapon in real life decently timely. And you guys call yourselves nerds.
Start with getting him a tablet like the Bamboo Pen & Touch and let him go crazy on ArtRage. You'll definitely get your money's worth in saved paper, crayons, and stained walls. Or get him started on 3D modeling with Anim8or, an absurdly easy and free program to get into, and then later follow an introduction to real LEGOs with MLCad.
There are also kid's programming languages, which help prevent kids from seeing computers as "magic devices". Popular examples that use a visual drag-and-drop method are Alice and Scratch.

So they could have ended it with the decline of Facebook.
"You have what... 700 million users?"
"Thousand."
"Sorry?"
"700 thousand."
"Wow."

Using the Google Maps ruler lab, it's:
1.67km (1.04mi) long
494m (1621ft) wide
Nowhere near as large as the summary makes it out to be.
10 million dollars might come back around to reinventing this. What could be simpler than a sanitary, biodegradable bag? http://www.peepoople.com/
Yes, my mistake, we've all had our laugh now.

to the WalMart-Exxon-Verizon Space Telescope. That way it'll have all the funding it needs.
No where in that article did I see any new technology. Just semiconductor lasers and optical beam combining. Bit scarce on the hard numbers too.
Funny, those circuit schematic pull-out diagrams are actually fairly common in military technical manuals. Most even fold out both ways!
Easy, just burn it. That's always safe.

Apparently everyone who's never touched CLI in Ubuntu has never seen a program crash in Ubuntu.
Here's how to stop a crashed program:
>ps -e
>kill
There is no GUI equivalent to Ctrl+Alt+Del in a stock install of Ubuntu.
Until this gets fixed, all arguments that CLI is never needed are void. It's not enough to assume that freezes and hangs never happen in Ubuntu.
2 ports and the size of a pack of gum? That sounds like Apple's roadmap.

Common sense. Original poster seems to have none. This option is for paranoids only.
If just one of these major releases features nothing but a blazing fast cold start, I'll be happy.
Because Zynga (for now), just like Facebook, has the clout to throw its weight around and manipulate the law to serve as its private enforcement arm.

...that means it's really a weapons platform. Just like all "communications satellites" are spy satellites.
