It's so subjective and it's always used with the most expensive benchmarks. I figure I watch at LEAST 100 hours of TV a week and I only spent $80 on my cable bill. Does anyone ever use the 80cents/hour metric? I've got about 700 hrs playing time on Battlefield 2. Does anyone ever use the 7cents/hour metric?
Silly man. The captain will be irresistibly charming to the the heroes until slowly the tyrannical nature of his command is revealed and the characters find themselves outside of his trusted circle; enslaved on that very ship with the other hapless souls. Only after a charismatic call to rebellion will the protagonist lead the revolt against said captain, climaxing in a Michael Bay-esque explosion and congratulatory smooch from the hottest of the slave girls.
Once they ran Palm into the dirt, they basically ignored Windows Mobile developers. Now that new competitors have arisen, they act like they care about the mobile segment. You can't poop on developers and expect them to put any faith in your platform again.
That and Windows Mobile sucks as a mobile or embedded platform. My cable box is WM based and it sucks too!
I don't mind when it's just a part of the set, but the shameless ads are what annoy me. I was watching Grown Ups (yes, I know, I know) and there's a shameless scene of logos-up Donut vendor cups being used as kids phones. Just add commercial breaks if you're going to go full-on whore.
I took a Data Structures class this summer and we solved a similar homework problem to this using Djikstra's and min heaps. Of course, this is a pretty irrelevant question since your Facebook friends are just any random yahoo you clicked "Confirm" with.
It's more an issue of lazy lawmakers than intent. When you don't clearly evaluate the repercussions of a new law, you end up with crap like 18 year-olds with 10 year prison sentences for having sex with 15 year-olds.
But, that's a sign of the times and not that "politicians are stupid." Bad guys frequently have their rights and due process violated because people don't think bad guys deserve the same justice as the good guys.
People pay for game hacks. It's all about delivery of a service. Paying someone to read to you for an hour a day doesn't produce a tangible product either.
Don't want to get into a battle with you, but I was in ROTC in college. We learned about the purposes of our foreign bases all over the world. It's about force projection. We don't have thousands of troops in Europe because we're trying to tamp down Nazi rebellions.
That's actually BS because lots of people knew what was happening. I found out about 8 years ago when a bunch of friends (many of whom had the business ethics of a sleazy used car salesman) working for mortgage resellers laughed and joked about how some of the agents were pushing loans through against rules/laws just for commissions. That was the hint that I didn't appreciate until I started researching buying a house 5 years ago or so. The deregulated mortgage industry now was incentivized to push crappy loans through since the originators were almost immediately washing their hands of the debt.
And, there were lots of industry experts talking down these mortgage-backed securities.
The Slashdot rule on troll modding is, if someone posts ad hominem comments just to get a reaction, they're a troll. If they actually believe the argument, they're a moron. Don't worry about a troll mod.

The demise of native programming has been greatly exaggerated.
Whoops, that should be 100 hours a MONTH!
Just me, I plan on bailing when my contract is up, but that's prohibitively expensive to do AFTER you've got the phone.
You sure this wasn't just a threat of violence?

They're already in my phone, PIM, and POOM data, I don't need them harvesting my viewing habits for the Feds and advertisers as well.

Oh, and the Black guy gets killed first.
I meant MS kicked Palm's ass.

I had bacon-wrapped hot peppers this weekend, so I got you beat.

It didn't work, but look how much money management saved!
Now that's a classic Slashdot post!
Anything to spring us 15 years into the future so we can surprise the fusion researchers.
Slashdot needs to fire the editors they brought on from the National Enquirer. "Hype for nerds, hardly matters."
Generate hydrogen, make dry ice with the carbon, and keep all of our prisoners in suspended hibernation. 100% use!
I guess it wasn't obvious I was joking.
We just finished building the Endeavor crater movie set in Area 51 for all you gullible suckers to ooh and aaah at. NASA, you haven't fooled ME!
The Tea Party isn't even "in power" now, genius. It's about political influence not votes.
