So.. Fox? Or perhaps MSNBC? I won't bother mentioning CNN, as they're more of a playground than a news organization these days (whose day is it to play with the "Magic Wall?")
Oh yeah I'll definetely be going back to that website for all my news needs. After all, its better than Fox. Seriously, you aren't striking a blow for the popularity of anyone here.
While you're there could you google "basic journalistic standards if you are purporting to be reporting news, and presumably trying to make money in said endeavour".
I'll never visit that site again, and I'd be surprised if many others did either. The bloglords flexing their sarcasm on/. isn't really much of a persuader either.
Then I would recommend the same thing I do to people in meatspace who blather on about topics they know nothing about: tell them to shut their pie-holes and learn something.
If you were simultaneously representing yourself as a news outlet, I'd say you were therefore a piss poor news outlet.:D Honestly, you have people whining about verbatim copy pasta newsfeeds on here all the time, someone points out the same thing and its bad cos blog.
I haven't the time to look up every acronym and backronym on the entire internet. I strongly suspect very few people do. As a basic standard any news reporter should clarify at a minimum the more eldritch terms. And this isn't being particularly picky, it is a literal journalistic standard.
AMOLED displays provide higher refresh rates than their passive-matrix OLED counterparts, improving response time often to under a millisecond, and they consume significantly less power. This advantage makes active-matrix OLEDs well suited for portable electronics, where power consumption is critical to battery life.
It does upset the "benevolent dictatorship" propaganda the Chinese government has been putting about though, not for nothing did they start promising new freedoms immediately when they heard about the events of the Arab spring. It also occurs to me that the Anonymous group is a perfect cover for intelligence agencies to run wild on the internet.
All of my spelling and grammar are perfect in every way, just things are spelled differently in this dimension. We thought we had the rift closed before those creatures got through, but in fact we just popped out here, and let me tell you that was a surprise. Identical in every detail except spelling and grammar. God only knows whats going on back home, probably everyone is being eaten forever in the simulation spaces of the interlopers' minds, bit of a red face situation alright. Still, we'll get the experiment working properly next time.
Why not make it 100TB? Or 500? Since you can keep wrapping tape around a spindle, lets make it a few hundred petabytes and use it as a spare wheel for the motorbike. Tape serves a purpose for certain jobs, for others it's completely useless. HDDs are far more capable than tape in many ways, but their market is different. Ultimately tape will go the way of the dodo, as will HDDs, and in the meantime we use the best fit for the task at hand, factoring economics into the equation.
Like many articles on slashdot, this one seems to be a mixture of misinformation and flamebait.
I've had no problems with Firefox to be honest. I tried chrome once and it just didn't run a lot of scripts successfully. I mean literally sites that used to work didn't. Also I don't get the fuss about a faster browser, most modern computers are capable of running some seriously high end games and programs without blinking, even a crufty old browser like IE isn't going to slow up the show for more than a half second. Connection speeds are far, far more of an issue.
The moral of the story kids is that if you want the latest features, you don't want a stripped down browser that saves you a centisecond at the cost of functionality.
So? Crystal meth is an express elevator to hell. Humanity would have been better served if it never existed. I'm expressing my depression that it even exists.
a) Don't go round invading other countries, terrorist problem solved b) its already been examined by Lockheed Martin and found to be sound, c) build it in the Sahara desert.

Hell, the public knows it's something about display technology because the term AMOLED has been plastered all over the place.
Bullshit.
That is all.

I'm just lolling at the "redundant" downmod from an emotionally wounded blogger, myself.

When you let bloggers masquerade as real journalists. For those like me who weren't aware, AMOLED:

Irish people are clearly a lot smarter.

No, I haven't used firebug.
I have over 90 tabs open for weeks on end in firefox, memory usage rarely if ever goes past half a gig.
I have over ninety tabs open at the moment, memory usage is under half a gig.
In human terms you'd have to be going past 50% for them to matter. I forget if it was 50% or 90% to be honest.

Is Notch his real name or just his street name on... developer... street...

Nope, RTFA, this is crystal meth.
Makes you wonder how much more of this stuff is out there. Meth is a bad, bad drug.
Doesn't the same apply to all lawyers? They get paid whether or not they succeed?
Covering about two percent of the uninhabited bits of the Sahara with solar panels would supply enough energy for the entire world's needs.
And the need for abundant raw materials which just happen to be sitting in space.
There are two versions proposed, one for cargo, one for humans.
