Arms race is exactly it. Recall that interview with Peter Chou from HTC a week ago or so where - over the bust-up with Apple he notes HTC's purchase of S3 and acquisition of some 200-odd patents. He's clearly disappointed to have to play this retarded game just to participate in the US market but nonetheless the way he characterises that acquisition sounded, to me, exactly as if he was counting up rounds of ammunition.
"We have over 200 pate^H^H^H^H warheads. Do you feel lucky?"
And since they're not crowing out how great it is (which they certainly would if it were) then we can probably fairly safely assume is a relative battery-buster.
There are stories that appear only as a folded headline bar on the main index page. There doesn't appear to be any option to turn off this stupid feature. Either show me the story, or don't.
Titans is complete and finished (and fantastic, I might add). There is very active support and any issues thrown up by the wave of new Humble Bundle users are sure to be addressed pronto.
Rounds are going to be relatively expensive yes, but it's not as if you fire the thing full auto.
How it changes the game in that enemies behind hard cover - who might otherwise engage you in a protracted firefight - will lose the benefit of that cover.
It's in service now with the 101st airborne apparently, so I'm sure we'll shortly find out whether it's the exceptionally useful tool it appears to promise to be.
Most folks/corporations/ip-rights-holders don't mind being "liked". But if you publicise loudly enough that you "dislike" them, they might sue to stop you.
As a consumer, you are only allowed two votes: Consent or Abstain. There is no Dissent.
Call me laptops have decent keyboards and screens that can be raised up/away from the base into a position appropriate for viewing without wrecking your posture/eyesight.
There is nothing so unique about posting text on a twitter.com page that makes it substantially different from posting text on a personal website, forum, or anywhere else.
It doesn't need a verb. Its marketing department would love you to adopt their suggested verb though, and use it here, there and everywhere.
Boy that word sure doesn't mean jackshit when it just gets thrown around and abused like that, huh? Like watching the word 'fuck' get detoothed in Scorsese's Goodfellas, there's this sort of desensitization toward 'innovation' that leaves me confused as to how I should describe people like Tesla, Turing and Shannon

April 1st 2006 was the high-point of Slashdot's history.
It's what they make rainbows out of, I believe. It's apparently very spicy.
I heartily endorse this comment.
Why extract the database of users' information if your goal is only to give a slap in the face to the evil corporation?
It's almost as if the goal of this criminal activity wasn't heroic anti-corporatist hactivism at all...
Any time you see something that doesn't make sense... ...a wizard did it.
I don't recall agreeing to the change from "Netizen" to "Consumer"...
I agree. And when's this new Pony-based look & feel ever going to be finished. I've been waiting bloody years!
It's a parallax barrier display. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_barrier
It's possible because Nintendo have a very good idea at what range and angle you'll be viewing the display.
I can't even dial the Operator? However will I place international calls?

> with some judges now confiscating all phones and computers from jurors when they enter the courtroom
Gosh, and I just needed something to motivate me more to participate in juror duty.
Seriously dudes... "gun".

It's not a customer base, it's a treasure island.

Eventually there'll be no Abstain.
Indeed. "Gripped"? WTH?

Publishers weren't corporations before the iPhone?
Agree. Well done NYT!

Founders... oh wait... it's a noun!
