As usual DRM has little to do with stopping piracy and everything to do with controlling what people can do with their legally purchased products. In this case stopping them from being able to resell their used games that through DRM will now be tied to their console.
It seems to me the original democracy as practiced by the ancient Greeks was essentially crowdsourcing. All the man would gather in the square and all could speak and put forward their ideas which would be voted up or down by the crowd. This is simply adding the "over the internet" to a very old idea.
The real problem is not the new APIs but rather the sandbox which makes it impossible to write any useful productivity application targeting these new APIs. Not even MS Office apps on RT use the new API's as doing so would cripple them behind any usability. Sand-boxing makes sense on phones as being primarily a communication device precautions must be taken so that buggy, malicious apps cant render it non-functional, or spy on you. Tablets are not primarily a communication device, treating them as over-sized phones is whats holding them back from being really useful tools.
enameled cast iron is also very good. It has the advantage of having a better non-stick surface. It has the disadvantage of the enamel being easy to chip.
Agreed but this is largely due to the power of suggestion rather than the placebo effect. If I suggest to you that the music will sound better because it is encoded in a better format, than you will expect it to sound better and likely conclude that it does so even if your brain really can't tell the difference.
Because economic activity in the form of money spent to build infrastructure benefits not just the developer but the economy as a whole as jobs are created and GDP grows.
Without it any large scale redevelopment project would be impossible. Any old lady that wants to die in the house she has lived in all her life can essentially bring the whole thing to a halt.
Forgetting to lock my door makes it easier for a thief to enter my house and steal but it doesn't excuse or even lessen the crime, that being said the sentence seems rather excessive for what is little more than a inconvenience to the people affected by the release of their email address.
In order to have minimal signal latency the pilot would most likely need to be on a close by aircraft and even then the massive amount of data that would need to be transferred and processed would still introduce unacceptable delay. The only real alternative to a maned fighter is a A.I controlled one but for all the physical shortcomings, the cognitive abilities of the piece of meat on the cockpit (especially when it comes to quickly parsing visual information) are far behind what any A.I can do.
Never underestimate the ingenuity and unlimited budgets that come with fear of death. The united states developed the atomic bomb during wartime in 4 years. A real war between NATO vs Russia or China would most definitely require a ground invasion. The buildup to that invasion would take years during which current assets would be deployed to secure strategic advantage rather than on a head on fight. The use of nuclear weapons would most likely only prolong the war as the devastation will significantly diminish the strength of both camps.
The appstore model of shitty games selling at a couple of bucks works for developers and apple because there are 400 million ios devices sold to date. With only 70 million xbox 360's this model would fail miserably.
I have 2 rigs, one with a oc 7870 and one with a oc 6970 and neither one of them can run the newest games with full AA at 30+ fps.
Unless you are gaming at 800x600 or consider 10fps a playable frame rate there is no way your 5770 can run "pretty much every game on maximum settings".
I have been looking to get a second hand graphics card (either a 7970 or a gtx 680) on ebay and I can tell you that cards with waterblocks typically sell for less than the ones with stock air cooling. There is not a whole lot of people with full loop watercooling in the first place and they are a bunch that typically wants the latest and greatest in hardware. The only ones that would be interested in your card are a handfull of people looking to add a second 6990 and already have one with the same waterblock. There is one with a xspc block on ebay at $400 with less than a day to go. It has no bids.
Apple released ios 6.01 and 6.02 to fix connectivity problems with the iphone5.
Its kinda hard plugging the rover into itunes to perform updates for connectivity problems.
It seems to me you have somehow managed to implement a relational database type memory retrieval system.
Instead of direct associations between memories and triggers, you seem to have yours arranged according to first-order predicate logic.
Very impressive indeed.
There is no requirement or need for use of metro apps on the desktop. Once I realize that I shouldn't be using metro apps on the desktop just because they are there and they looks pretty, my windows 8 experience went from frustrating to being rather pleasant.
I even like that the start menu is missing. Once a certain amount of programs were installed keeping the start menu organized became a nightmare and I would simply start cluttering up the desktop with quick access icons. On windows 8 there is no need to clutter up the desktop as you can bring the cluttered up quick access tiles with ctrl-esc (the windows key for those that have it on their keyboard).
We hear national security and we all start thinking espionage and conspiracy theories. Truth is that economic losses can be just as devastating. All that expensive equipment needs regular servicing to function properly. All China would have to do is bar Huawei from offering its services in India and all that vital equipment is rather quickly going to turn into very expensive junk, leading to downtime and huge losses for whatever services rely on them. In its current spat with Japan, China proved more than willing to use economic warfare in disputes.
Even without backdoors or intentional bugs that can be exploited to gain access, Huawei engineers hired/coerced by the government would be very useful in finding exploits in Huawei products.
This isn't windows ce, it windows 8. They are showcasing their flagship os and they need the hardware to have the power to do it.
The last thing they need is for a under-powered tablet to give people the impression that windows 8 is sluggish and not worth upgrading to.
Due to the cache mechanism employed by web browsers, loading times for already visited web sites is significantly reduced when reading from ssd.
Web browsing will feel significantly faster with a ssd then with additional ram.
I will assume you are referring to the Pontifical Swiss Guard of Vatican City. During regular guard duty they wear a solid blue uniform, not unlike uniforms worn by most police forces around the world. The three colored uniform you are probably referring to, is only for ceremonial duties and its not much more ridiculous in appearance than those of many other ceremonial uniforms in use around the world. At least they are not wearing man-skirts like the Greeks or the Scots.
Our immediate legacy to the next generation is a ever-growing trillion dollar national debt, and yet scientists delude themselves that we will concern ourselves with our environmental legacy to some future generation we will never even know.

On the iss astronauts can do hands on troubleshooting, and if the worst happens they can just fly replacement parts in the next resupply mission.

A lot of customers want games without draconian DRM protection schemes and I don't see that happening!
For someone without criminal connections finding criminals to sell him weapons would not be all that easy
