Specifically referring to my horrendously flawed 1st generation 13" Macbook. Because of the heat generated it was marketed as a "notebook" and even comes with warnings against using it on your lap per the user guide. This has led to many a warm-lap, a melted "mag-safe" power cord, and just recently caused one of the plastic screw holes for the heatsink to actually shatter during use.
If companies want to market ads to me based on my behavior then go for it. I wont click them anyway. Give me something that bans obnoxious (I don't need to explain what these are) ads.
The author failed to mention a primary feature of the expansion: flying allowed in Azeroth. The world was previously not setup to allow players to see the ugly transition between zones, and this is seen as a major update.
Looks like they are trying to do the right thing. For once.
Right...after the FCC told them to do something about it. This is totally conjecture, but I doubt Verizon would have been so willing to issue refunds without pressure.
While looking for jobs in the DC Area I noticed several openings with Raytheon that seemed to be what Cyber Command is looking for, "Cyber Warrior" being one of them. Most of the openings were looking for extremely specific qualifications, yet I didn't notice any mention of training for applicants that might not be completely what they're looking for. Perhaps they need to lower their standards just a bit.
Why use technology that's overpowered for the job they need? In space, low power consumption is paramount, not the ability to edit and render their "home" movies.
Why wouldn't they? The law is unquestionably on the RIAA's side. The big issue isn't a matter of "did these people break the law" but rather, "should the copyright act apply to filesharing" and "are these fines are inflated and have no context to casual filesharers?".
But they can, and did, assume that the original CD that the files came from included copyright notices, i.e. she shouldn't have copied the music from her CD regardless of the fact that she didn't know Limewire was automatically sharing those files.
What should really be argued is the fact that a $750 fine is too high. Even $200 is too high. The Copyright Act was intended to punish for-profit pirates. The law shouldn't even apply to file-sharing as it has no relation to the law's original meaning. The RIAA/MPAA could, and do pick and choose anyone to sue under the law and make a profit by settling without a trial.
Stick with the broader aspects of game design such as: story development, character development, gameplay, flow. I would be hesitant to throw "fine-arts" students into programming. If you must, however, I have no advice.
Perhaps we shouldn't be asking why engineers become [individuals involved in political violence] on their own accord. Rather, the engineers may be targets of recruitment by [organizations involved in political violence] because they possess desirable skills.
At what point are they going to push for better battery technology and longer life?
Phone manufacturers have to weight the options between releasing better features that tax the battery or investing heavily in battery technology that very well may benefit competitors. Improvements to battery life based on engineering behind the battery itself need to come from the industry as a whole and not one manufacturer.
It doesn't matter how much better than Windows any flavor of Linux gets, the only way to get mainstream consumers to start using it are to shake their beliefs that A)software must be bought and B) that anything "free" is either copied/pirated, or has sub-par quality.
I don't see any advertisements for OSes other than Windows and (by extension) Mac ads.
I hope this type of rule would only extend to brick-and-mortar stores. Outside of age restrictions on accounts, how can I sell a game on amazon or ebay without being sure that an adult is buying it and not someone's kid? It might be in the adult's name, but a child could easily order something from me or a retailer online just as they can use a parent's cash or debit card. But I'm sure this has been handled for other "adult" online purchases.
Also, where do we draw the line of what is considered "ultraviolent" and just plain "violent"? ESRB?
Netbooks and the iPad are in two wholly separate worlds. Netbooks have so many qualities that set them apart from the iPad that this shouldn't be a hard question. The answer is yes.
5. Require Resume to be in Word doc Format
Even worse is having to submit in a plaintext box. Almost as irritating is being allowed to submit a.pdf format resume only to find out it must be 150K in size.
A lot of good advice from what I can see! I have interviewed with my old internship's company for a business analyst position. It's hardly involves any coding of substance, but from what I can see from the comments relating to the job market, I may have no choice. Big thanks to the person who pointed out the April 26 eligibility date for Google's Summer of Code and the Open Source suggestions in general. Lastly, thanks to the rest of slashdot for giving me your time and advice. It's obvious that I won't be able to land my ideal job right away, so I'll just get my name out there and earn experience.
P.S. The html link comment was a joke so don't get too riled up.

He's probably referring to phone service commonly referred to as a "landline".
Why did this require the intervention of Congress and not just the FCC?

kudos to you

Maybe youtube should try to police the material for a few days as a demonstration of how ridiculous such an attempt would be.
Shouldn't they side with the "more accurate" definition of .666 than .66?
