This is probably the only lawsuit I read about on Slashdot that I am going to support. Well done Google. And DOI must be lacking some sense these days to call it RFQ when they specified they will only consider bids from one company.
"Supporting" the Kernel development doesn't necessarily mean releasing their own Kernel-related code to GNU. For starters, they can officially encourage or ask their developers to contribute code, or better yet, employ some Kernel developers.
Sounds good in theory, and I know Google loves the odf format popularized by OpenOffice, but wouldn't that run against Google Docs?
Not necessarily. Considering that Google Docs is a web-based solution, if they do support an OSS office suite, they can integrate some Google Docs features with it to gain some users. They jumped in the Browser market but still support Firefox (which in turn brings visitors to their search engine)
This seems like a good opportunity for Google to step in and sponsor some open source software. I was really surprised when I got to know that it wasn't even in the top 10 companies supporting Linux Kernel development (Oracle was at 7th), considering that it uses the Kernel extensively in their systems. It is about time the companies that use and make money out of OSS start supporting some projects as well.
Police catch people, because people are dumb. It's not going to change.
So that means when Police fail to catch them, they were either the likes of Stephen Hawking, or there have been lots of dumb recruitments in the force.
.....at least to attempt to give consumers some opportunity to have a dialogue with internet companies, as they would be able to do if a newspaper had inadvertently published that information.
Another minister blabbing BS about stuff he doesn't know. You Lord of morons, ISPs don't publish anything on Internet, they just provide access to what is already out there. What you are suggesting is comparable, to a micro level, to asking the postman give you each and every newspaper printed in the world that day, while first opening and reading all of them to see if they don't have anything printed in them that you deem wrong.
I would opt for the pat-down provided the person checking me is not gay. Considering how seriously homo-phobic (most) men are, he hopefully won't be too thorough.
Since Netflix recently announced online rental for Canadian customers, I was wondering if there were some Unlimited, or close to unlimited packages available in Canada. Well I can stop wondering that now.
I am no Electrical Engineer, but I am sure diodes are not the only component used in electrical circuits, so how is it a fundamental breakthrough that is going to affect the overall manufacturing speed of electronic products? Moreover, From TFA
High speed computers and electronics that don’t depend on transistors are possibilities
Which high speed computer in use today doesn't use transistors? The only related research in transistor-less gates I can think of is QCA and magnonics, both of which are a few years away from being used in Computer manufacturing, and neither uses diodes as the base.
An alliance of this sort most probably also means some price fixing deals already on the table. But if we get some decent capacity SSD's for reasonable price a bit sooner, for a few bucks more, I think its worth it.
So apparently all the serious and violent adult criminals in NY are behind bars, so now they are going to put small kids in jail?. Well for starters, you might wanna get some small sized handcuffs to complete the lunacy.
Sure its nice that they are putting this much effort to preserve Geocities, but for people trying to find and recover their own pages, it won't be helpful if they didn't put a lot of time renaming the files properly.
But it still won't be useful as I am pretty sure the one I want was named "index.htm". Unless they renamed all of them with "Geocities-username-directory-file.html"
At least they were smart enough to not make a completely isolated soundproof booth, otherwise people would have tested their soundproofing, but without the iPods.
You'd be wrong if you assumed that he intended to inject the vaccine to the mosquitoes directly. He actually suggests to give humans the antibodies, which will then be picked up by the mosquito when it bites the person.
From TFA
The next question was how to get the mosquitoes to pick up the antigen. Since it is easier to get people to take injections than it is to find mosquitoes, the answer was to allow people to transmit it to mosquitoes when they bite. The antibody itself doesn't protect against malaria, but when a mosquito bites a treated person, the parasite can no longer use the mosquito's gut to reproduce.
Skydiving without a parachute will be similar to climbing Mount Everest while being in just jeans and t-shirt without anything else. I am sure he didn't do this.
Of course not all dreams are equal, but downplaying someone's courage because he pursued a dream which is a bit too dangerous and pointless to you is not fair either IMHO. And that was my whole point.
This perhaps explains why the NSA has its own chip fabrication plant."
If you are implying that all of the hardware used at NSA, even all of their computers contain semiconductors fabricated by themselves, I would say Yeah Right
Well the word Hero shouldn't be just reserved for people who apparently do something selfless, or violent/inhumane acts in the name of the country or religion.
It takes a great deal of courage to even think of putting yourself through this much hardship, and even a greater deal of courage to do so while having wife and kid. For me, this qualifies as a Hero as well. And on a side-note, where would the world be without people trying to do seemingly impossible things just because it was their dream or downright silly at the moment

Google Docs is a web-based service. OpenOffice/LibreOffice is a MS Office competitor with increasing market share, especially in Europe.

From the generic look to the advanced features, it is just perfect as a humanoid robot. Now only if it came in black.

You scratch my back, I scratch yours.

Dun da duuuh. And this is the sound you hear when someone misses a joke completely.
New control software huh? So those frequent UAC warnings every time you moved the leg a bit further than allowed changed your mind after all.

Awesome. But do I really need to download all 900GB of it just to see if my 4KB page is in there? I think not.

How about spending some of the money trying to help these poor students understand the two elusive lines?
