It has a non-modified, i.e. carrier- and brand-modification-free, ICS installation. Other than the label Samsung on the back (along with the Google Logo), there's no other sign of this being a phone made by Samsung.
Do we now get a Slashdot post every time Chrome...

... updates its major version number, or what?
Seriously, why is there such a big hubbub about the version of Firefox when they've just moved to rapid incrementations of the version number? I don't see people doing the same with Chrome.
Uh, what incomplete data? The binding energies of each and every isotope are known and can be measured through experiments. Each isotope also represents a discrete data point - there are no (relevant) fuzzy boundaries where you'd have to interpolate.
You know where you're starting and you know where you end up. There's no ambiguity, there's no missing data, you simply know the binding energies of both the educts and the product. And thus you also know the mass defect which determines whether you need to exert energy to make fusion/fission happen or you'll actually gain energy.
Well, the guy got tips from politicians (Berlusconi among them) on how to bid for government contracts in order to win them. That's corruption.
Later on he used his knowledge for blackmail against Berlusconi.
At some point the new UEFI boot process needs to allow IT departments to sign their own bootloaders. How is this different from allowing them to change a jumper to install a custom bootloader? Maybe I am just not familiar enough with how IT staff manage their boot media.
Because IT staff now has to run around and flip a switch at every PC.
Well, it is. There's no legitimate reason for prostitution to be illegal and "underage" is an entirely arbitrary notion and changes from country to country.
The problem is not so much the hookers but where he gets them from - the guy supplying the hookers is another crook...
Damn, sent this as AC. Once more, this time with the proper user:
Here's a little movie by an Italian which about sums it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ10QTIXlEA
Did you look at a map? The plane crashed near an island which is 600 Kilometres away from the Chilenian coast. I dare say that the lack of cell towers would make a triangulation through said cell towers a bit difficult.
I'm also not sure about the mass. I'm sure about the shape, however. It's atmospheric drag slowing stuff down and thus deorbiting objects. Remember that we still have an atmosphere at those altitudes, however miniscule. Without that, objects would keep on orbiting for quite a long time (e.g. until the sun swallows the Earth, or something like that).
Sigh. Not banned. It was not allowed to be on public display or advertised for. You were still allowed to possess or purchase it, given that you were at least 18 years of age.
Nope, that's not it at all. You're trying to convince someone that some kind of life-saving procedure is dangerous. Thus if you actually succeed at convincing and the person actually dies due to the lack of said life-saving procedure, you're at least partially responsible for the outcome.
That's not rocket science. It's the same with salesmen convincing someone to buy the latest and greatest which later turns out to be a turd.
It's the same with scammers who convince someone to give them money in exchange for something which turns out to be nothing.
And so on.
You could argue about the degree of responsibility. But responsible you are. You do something and as a result something else happens (or does not happen). That automatically makes you responsible for the outcome.
Don't mistake that for the legal definition of "responsibility".
Of course he's responsible. It's the same mechanism as not educating your children not to look left and right before crossing the street with the argument: "You don't need to check for cars, the drivers of the cars will do that for you!"
What the hell? There has been NO death due to a measles vaccination as of yet and the chances for a serious complication are pretty low (smaller than 1:1,000,000).
You obviously did not do the math.
Aaaaaand... that's why neuropsychology has a slew of other methods they use primarily. Medical procedures (such as brain scans) add to those tests, not supplant them.
That's why they're going after the websites linking to Facebook, not Facebook itself...
Furthermore, there'd be no problem at all if they replaced the button with something which only loads the Facebook code if a user clicks on it - rather than anytime I open a page with such a button on it.
Oh, and you think neuropsychology solely relies on brain scans?
Good evening, I am Belial6 and I've just shown that I don't know jack shit about neuropsychology.
From Wikipedia:
"Assessment is primarily by way of neuropsychological tests, but also includes patient history, qualitative observation and may draw on findings from neuroimaging and other diagnostic medical procedures."
Said neuropsychological tests can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropsychological_tests
IQ tests are not valid in this regard because you don't test for the right things: They don't test for long-term strategy and thinking ahead months, years or even decades.
It's like you want to know how long someone can run and you measure how fast he is. In this case, the test would fail the criteria for validity. You cannot simply pick one attribute (especially a highly artificial one like the IQ) and compare it to other attributes which may or may not be related to your choice.

Right. Because there's no way in hell that a hydraulic system is not as error prone (or even more so) than a fly-by-wire system...
... besides, airplanes have stuff like the "direct law" where the computer does not play a role at all.

Yes. But it only looks once a month. Better to use something like Secunia PSI.

I'd rather say that SQUIDs should profit from this technique. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQUID

This is not a large island. Which means it probably has only one celltower.

"You can only test a laser's functionality twice."

By that "logic" you also just ruled out the whole social sciences. Good job!
Why am I talking to a troll again?

Nope. Modern neuropsychology.
