This BTW, is the coolest demo I've seen all day.
I'd never read the ToS in the first place. They cant make them short enough for me to care. I could go lap the real Nurburgring with less legal concern than lapping the one in my PS3.
"Lee also stripped Zhao, from China, of her U.S. citizenship and ordered her to forfeit four homes in Maryland and northern Virginia, three condominiums in Chantilly, a Porsche Boxster, a Porsche Cayenne, a Mercedes sedan and seven bank accounts containing more than $1.6 million."
Daaayauuum! She was doing pretty damn well if you ask me. Or anyone. Who would really care that they weren't getting 100% genuine Cisco equipment (except for maybe Cisco)?
I don't think Go stuck to the wall they threw it at. Or else there was no wall, and it was thrown into the void.
This is standard operating procedure at Google. Throw something at the wall (or a wall) and see if it sticks.
Most of those smaller devices don't require subsets of functionality or features. Any general purpose language that doesn't require a super heavy runtime environment or a bazillion linked libraries should get along fine with an API to interact with events generated by the device. See Android, etc.
I concur. The last HP product I bought on a woot! trigger happy impulse was a laptop for $179. The first thing I found was that HP neglected to ever test the layout of the hardware with real human hands. It's impossible to type while resting your hands on the normally accepted palm rests to the south of the keyboard. The touch pad gets in the way and ends up somehow placing the cursor in strange and unexpected places while you're typing. It's like having a cat walk on your keyboard every time you start typing. Other than that and being really incredibly slow, its not so bad, but typing is kind of important.
You must be one of those 'process' people. Rather than making someone feel slightly ashamed for a short period, you'd rather have a committee meet for 4 weeks offsite in order to make recommendations to management about how to develop software.
See, in the real world before software was invented, breaking the build meant everyone in the factory stopped working until management found the culprit, who was swiftly beaten and dumped off a pier. Everyone got back to work and nobody made any little mistakes that hindered the other workers again, unless that mistake involved losing a limb dramatically.
I'm bitter and cranky and old at 33. It really depends on who you work for. Some people love jumping from startup to startup, but once the current VC bubble collapses, that lifestyle will vanish. As you get older people expect much more than just being a software engineer. No matter what language or tech you learn, you are just learning another syntax for programming a computer. It's the knowledge outside of the language that makes it worth being an engineer. There's not much distinction between web-engineers and computer scientists these days from a business perspective, unless you get into the more academic circles.
Yes we did get it wrong.
Transcontinental supersonic jets in service: Zero
Failing social media startups in the Valley sucking up VC funding that could go into cool technology: A million zillion
Where are the atomic high speed overhead monorails and supersonic jet packs? Nowhere. Ask those stupid serial entrepreneur assheads and their VC crack dealers.
I only use this adage on others. As a rule, I break everything with the intention of fixing it, but usually just as a way to pass the time while still feeling fruitful.
If someone notices the hypocrisy in this, I use the old adage "Don't do what I do, do what I say."
"business model failed" ??? that's not even close to summarizing or paraphrasing the article. They delivered 1650 Tesla roadsters. Lamoborghini, which is somewhat a competitor, sold around 1200 units over roughly the same time period.
The Model S should be comparable to the Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide or Maserati Quattroporte in terms of luxury and performance. They will probably be competitive with these high performance gas drinkers. So to say a low volume boutique company's business model failed is stupid and irresponsible. The relative rarity of the Roadster makes it even more desirable, which is what buyers of low volume boutique cars want.
I think Elon Musk and his team have done a extremely difficult thing, albeit with a lot of money to help them along.
RTFA before you write shit like this.
Are Hanging Balls really new technology? AFAIK they evolved a looong time ago.
I just think they could find a better example. If you want less people to take the elevator, make the elevator slower.

Mauritius is not a 3rd world country. And of course they won't let you grab diamonds from a shipwreck.
I like the idea, but making your own weapons is not much cheaper than buying them, and it takes a whole lot more of your time. You could spend 6 months on a good one. However, many resistance movements since WW2 have learned the easy way to make cheap sub-machine guns using a lathe and plumbing pipe. The 'grease gun' is probably the simplest auto-loading pistol in the world. It's not accurate or even very durable, but it will spray lead in the right direction.
If you have a resistance movement with funding and access to machinists, you can obviously make an entire armament in a short amount of time.
But in the near future, even our organs and secreted fluids will be totally worthless, as synthetics and vat-grown replacements and enhancements will flood the market.
The early games were 3D in that they had a Z-depth, but the polygons were not shaded. Earlier home computers couldn't do vector transforms and shading calculations fast enough. Descent added polygon meshes, and was able to do 3D shading efficiently because the rendered viewpoint was constrained to a basic portal of cubes. Carmack opened things up in Quake by figuring out how to draw things efficiently by NOT drawing things that weren't visible. Visibility culling made it possible to pre-calculate what needed to be rendered so that only calculations related to relevant polys would enter the pipeline.
Yeah that would mess up my way of doing things entirely. I buy the least expensive junk yard bound POSs and make them functional so that I can drive them into the ground repeatedly.
The (game) industry just needs to bite it and realize that there always has been, and always will be an aftermarket.
As a cowboy, I somewhat agree with that statement. I used to drink my coffee through my teeth, using them as a filter. However, as the number of teeth in my mouth decreases, the amount of coffee I'm eating rather than drinking increases. Coffee grounds are good roughage though.
I'd like to see how the breach went down and how they found out about it. It looks like the operations people were completely unaware until it was too late.
They have limited options now:
Delete ALL of the personal information, start with a clean, empty database. Everything is compromised, so nothing can be used to recover the data.
I would anticipate that anyone who really wants to continue to use the system will at least create a new account with the minimum information in order to avoid the annoying login prompts. They should remove any unnecessary login prompts in the first place (why do I need to authenticate with PSN to use Netflix? etc)
The only possible account recovery scenario is if they had tied the MAC address of the PS3 to the account. It would be more difficult to spoof the MAC address than to use the any of the compromised PII data.
You don't need to be able to read and comprehend every article on/. Just go back to basking in the warm glow of your touchscreen, vehemently coveting its sleek aluminum shell, its pulsating Apple logo, and leave the thinking to the engineers who have to deal with this kind of stuff.
In other words, STFU.

Agreed, Nothing to see here. Why is this even on /.? It behaves like Alice but with less training and zero contextual awareness.

Android includes a subset of the libraries normally included in the JDK, not a subset of language features.
