How would leasing the battery change the cost of replacement 10 years later? It'll still cost, no matter who owns the battery. I'm guessing the idea of leasing is to trick the buyer into not seeing that it costs the same either way, it's just spread out. Let's say the battery lasts for 10 years and costs $3000. That's a $30-$40 monthly lease payment, when you factor in overhead, on top of an already-expensive car.
I looked closely I noticed the query had a single character changed, and of that character only one bit had changed. It was something like a P becoming a Q and thus giving a syntax error.
You know what they say; mind your P's and Q's. They obviously foresaw binary computers and flipped bits.
I was referring to the guy who had a single character change in his script, where the character change was a single bit flipping. I was noting that with a single-bit error like this, it's extremely unlikely to happen on a disk device.
First story about how it's not really retinal resolution was dumb. Then a rebuttal to it wasn't toally dumb, but that was enough. Now this. What next, a detailed analysis of what the word retinal means, or what the meaning of the word is is? Yeah, I know, skip the article if I'm not interested, but I figured I'm not the only one who finds this retinal-grazing a little extreme.
But it's my phone, and if I want to run malicious software on it, I feel I should be able to do so. But I cannot expect the "marketplace" to hold malicious software because I want that possibility.
I think your point about hard disk storage is that a single flipped bit is next to impossible, whereas an entire scrambled sector is much more likely (and even more likely still is an error that is silently corrected). So a single-bit error is much more likely due to RAM than magnetic storage.
One time I heard a glitch in a some music files. I examined them with a hex editor and there were some blocks of zeroes where there should't be, beginning and ending on multiples of 512. I'm guessing that was some corrupt hard disk sectors or a bad transfer. Sucky either way, but fortunately just music. Overall, hard disks are quite impressive. I suppose if they could use similar error-detecting and remapping technology in primary RAM, they'd be using much lower quality memory chips.
I read the headline as simply meaning that a mother rat had baby rats whose lungs grew, and all this took place in a cage in a lab, therefore the lungs grew in the lab as stated. Didn't say anything about artificial.
Dude, it'd be terrible if virtual terrorists flew a virtual plane into a virtual building and caused thousands of virtual deaths of the virtual citizens. Imagine all the damage it would do to the economy of that virtual little world in there? We must protect these virtual people at all costs.
What's notable is not the person herself, it's the fact that the people electing were able to let gender be less of an issue so that they could consider voting a woman into that position.
The new console also takes measures to protect itself from overheating, so RRoDs shouldn't be a problem with this revision.
I'm impressed with the clever solution they had to this: replace the red LEDs with green ones. Guaranteed, no more red ring of death. Just don't ask about the green ring of death.
IP is socialism, because it takes your property and gives control of it over to the collective. It says that there are various patterns you cannot form it in to without permission, whose list is growing every day.
If you're in an area that isn't hit often, it's smart to take it seriously, even though people in other areas treat the same magnitude earthquake something less-serious. People in the latter place are used to handling the after-effects, and the infrastructure is made to handle it better. In other words, the context matters as well as the event.
I was using my Android today, and I discovered that it was exposing a huge amount of private data. Basically, it was transmitting a digital copy of all sounds that it picked up from its microphone, to some remote party. I couldn't believe this. More amazingly, it was triggered very simply: just dial a phone number and hit Talk. Sometimes it even occurred when I hit Talk just after the phone beeped. Nothing more was necessary. I can't believe they let this slip through.
Sorry, I've already patented making it impossible to do anything in this country without infringing on some patent somewhere. Having the patent granted was the implementation of itself.
Yes, because there's no way the primary and relief wells could blowout, just like there was no way this well could have blown out, given the preventer.

Actually, the RDF was causing too much interference, so they had to boost the cell signal there. True story.

Don't ion-taser me, bro!

He said prints, not negatives, d00d.
I'd call remote deletion a malicious feature.
And would you be surprised if APB will start showing them more often, once their server gives the game a signal?
My smoke signaling fire did too.

What a silly question to ask on Slashdot. Of course we didn't.
You, sir, should get a top position in our new cyber military command. You obviously could work wonders when such a disaster strikes this country.

Bah, I didn't read the article or much of the summary. I've never even had a cellphone.

You must be new here. Nobody reads the article.
