Ummm... so you would seriously describe something you mount in one of these, or a virtual machine running hosted by a rack-mounted server, blade, laptop, etc, as a "box"?
However, maybe regarding the dorky pluralization of the word "box", you have a point. Perhaps this is laziness; there is a reduction in effort in typing the letter "n", close to the right hand index finger, compared to the letter "s", way over there under the left hand "ring finger".... Or.... Well, maybe this only applies to people who type with two fingers.
Sounds as if the AC considered the Last.fm service more valuable than the "Apple experience." In other words, if Last.fm leaves the iPhone, so will he. Nothing wrong with that, unless you think the AC is wrong to choose the thing he or she likes.
And... The reasons people may choose one of the GPL licenses are explained in the actual text of the licenses which are conveniently available for anyone to read and evaluate here and here.
The question "If FOSS is about freedom why do the use the GPL" seems to imply "but why don't they do what *I* want, instead?", to which the answer is, "you don't get to choose because you didn't do the work."
the elderly hoarde the power in corporations and in society's rules such that the young can't get a foothold. young workers are underpaid and overworked in companies purposefully to support the perks for older dead wood in the company.
Sounds similar enough to the United States. Here, the unemployment rate for age group 20-24 is more than twice that of the 50-54 year old crowd.(http://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cpseea13.htm) Even after they find jobs, they'll make far less money (adjusted for inflation) than their older counterparts made at the same age. Almost nobody in the younger group will ever have a job that offers a pension.
Mmmm... Almost nobody in the US today who has a non-union job has a pension. It's all 401Ks and IRAs.
Things are chugging along well enough for most people here, but as the trend continues this will be a become a big problem
Yes.
and the legitimacy of the people who are pulling the levers will continue to decline.
Huh? In the US, the lever pullers are elected. Love them or hate them, they are just as legitimate as the citizens who vote for them.
So now not only are we having our tax dollars wasted on a "war on drugs" we're also going to start a new "war on cellphones (in prison)".
Sounds absolutely fabulous
The line between "starting a war on cellphones in prison" and "proposing a law to it illegal to smuggle cellphones to prison inmates" is pretty clear and wide.
The attempt to turn this example of state legislators attempting to actually do their jobs into a "govmit wasting my hard-earned money" story is unjustified.

False in the United States. According to the 14th ammendment of the US Constitution: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Your parents have your rights on your behalf.
In the United States, False. Your parents exercise and protect certain of their children's rights. They do not "have" them on your behalf.
Here's the real summary: Brian Greene has written on string theory for a popular audience in the past, and he's also fascinated by some of the more fringe-y elements of physics, such as the multiverse theory. He has a new book out. He has not taken any public stance on the Tea Party, abortion, or the Iraq war -- and honestly, I think it's sad that it seems to have become a requirement of modern journalism to pretend that he has.
You had me for two sentences, then lost me with the lament about the state of journalism in a way that seems to apply neither to the actual topic at hand, nor to the discussion thereof here on Slashdot.
Mmmm.... English has a "short e" sound and a "short i" sound, but that doesn't mean you can tell if someone with a Texas accent dropped her pin or his pen.
Having an "L" sound is not the same as pronouncing an "L" sound. This effect does, in fact, occur for some Chinese, as do various other peculiarities of pronunciation that are effects not of the language or dialect, but of accent/regional pronunciation.
Many people do not speak their languages the way they are explained in a textbook. This is as true in China as it is in the English-speaking countries and Australia.;-)
How is 72% still teaching superstition any better? I went to a catholic school and they taught evolution as fact, of course there was a religion class but biology was science.
I still chuckle when someone tells me they just bought a bluray player.
I ask why because 1. powerdvd (and it's equivalents) will upconvert 2. you can buy a upconvert dvd player for $35
My tinfoil hat tells me that they just want us to buy the same shit in a different format.
Well, Yes, of course they just want you to buy the same crap again. That said, things really do look better when they're less compressed, assuming your display is capable of showing the higher resolution images. In spite of the impression people may get from movies and TV, you can't just "expand" an image and have the same quality as one created at a higher resolution, no matter how much smoothing trickery you use.
My take is that the only justification for having a 1080p display is that you're going to display native 1080p content on it. So having the 1080p display without a good 1080p source is what makes me chuckle. On the other hand, it is equally silly to use a 1080p source if your display isn't 1080p.
I'd be surprised if you break 40wpm on a phone's physical keyboard.
It's not all about speed, though. I think I'm less likely to get RSI issues using Swype than the physical keyboard. Not that I do that much text entry on my phone.
Perhaps the submitter does not understand that Tron's graphics were cutting edge at the time. If he doesn't get off my lawn, I'll have to run him over in my awesomely bad 80s monster truck.
I love my country, salute my flag, and honor the soldiers who have fought to keep us safe. From foreigners. With uninteresting opinions. Who should butt out!
THAT is flag-waving nationalism. As it is generic, you may easily reuse it for your own nationalistic purposes, which I will, of course, ignore, because you are probably a foreigner. So butt out.:-)
Slashdot Mirror
The problem isn't the scientists. The problem is that there is a VERY large number of people using the stuff scientists discover/invent.
It's SUPPOSED to be political. It's a prize for peace. The idea of peace is inherently political.
Agreed. The solution should be "if access to ad network is denied by client, exit app gracefully."
Gah! My snarkiness fails when I leave out the link to "one of these".
You get the point, though.

Okay, I give up. "Boxen" is just silly. Stop it.
Agreed. A perfect video complement for any real audiophile's vinyl record componentry

Wish I had points for you. The government's always an easy target, and this article is an opener for folks to vent their frustrations.
It is interesting to note that some of the noise about this is being driven by folks who are using this as a way to make political hay out of embarrassing the state government.
In any case, it's nice to see some informed thought along with the knee-jerk responses to the article.
My bet is that they get their traffic light.
People who dance appear to be crazy by people who can't hear the music.
(FYI, that statement goes both ways)
Ah, good use of the Chewbacca defense. That comment makes no sense and has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
The ageless wisdom of George Lucas works better here: "Who is more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?"
>> It works at those altitudes, because the sunlight is more intense... and because water boils at a lower temperature at the lower atmospheric pressure.
And it works at sea level because the concentrated sunlight gets really fucking hot.
Well done. I wish I had mod points for you. :-)
Is it really a "nanny state" kind of action if it is giving power and control to the parents?
No it isn't. Children have no rights of any kind...
False.
and they are not citizens.

What's so freakin' hard about getting that concept right? Oh, yeah, people can't spell (much less pronounce) "hypothesis".
What's the big deal? Everyone I know prefers Country over Western.
Mmmm.... English has a "short e" sound and a "short i" sound, but that doesn't mean you can tell if someone with a Texas accent dropped her pin or his pen.

That's because Roman Catholic Church officially supports science, and supports proper scientific education regarding evolution.
But the 5 were all "men". They can't catch the hordes of canny techno-geek women involved in this internet mayhem, huh?

Zip up. Your flag-waving nationalism is showing.
