It's also trivial to add a new tag to doxygen, which works across a number of languages. But this is only useful for "TODO" type items, where the developer has knowingly taken a shortcut because they would rather get something working quickly than spend time dealing with all the edge cases. For BUGS, once you know where in the code is broken, you might as well start fixing it.
The Cloud wifi network has been operating from UK payphones for several years.
PHS networks in Japan used payphones as cell locations from around the mid 1990's. They also used lampposts, as does my local municipal Free WiFi network.
You don't really get massive mark-downs for volume - maybe 70% difference from 1 to 1 million.
I don't know which branch of electronic manufacturing you're talking about, but the one I'm familiar with has a MASSIVE per unit cost difference between buying one off components and buying them by the reel, and another big cost drop once your volume becomes high enough that the component manufacturer will deal with you direct instead of having to go through a distributor.
That's not charity. Build scholls for poor people is charity, give food to poor people is charity
Building schools so the worlds poor can learn to spell better than your average Anonymous Coward on slashdot is certainly a good example of charity. Giving food less so, except in exceptional circumstances like immediately after a natural (or man-made) disaster, as it is extremely difficult for local farmers to compete with free, so that type of charity just makes poverty worse in the long term. Distributing contraception is better overall for an impoverished community than distributing food.
At least some do:
“Abortion is a grave crime, excommunication is attached to this,” Bishop Nereo Odchimar, head of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), told Radio Veritas on Thursday. He said excommunication was a possibility if condoms were distributed to the poor.
You're going to get to harder drugs eventually if you're that type of person, but no one is just going to start at heroin.
I don't know. My wife was given diamorphine as a painkiller after a C-section, and immediately pushed to breastfeed our son. So clearly, his "gateway drug" was medical grade heroin.
The ticket would not be for "going too slow", it would be for obstructing traffic, or failure to keep right or something like that which is an actual traffic regulation.
(1) a duty to keep one's internet connection secure
This wasn't about keeping the internet connection secure, it was about spying on the authorized use by the defendant's roommate so the defendant could detect and prevent illegal activities. This "duty" that the copyright industry thinks we all have is probably in conflict with numerous privacy and wiretapping laws.
1. A tablet computing device that is rectangular in shape with rounded corners.
2. A device as in claim 1, where the sides of the rectangle are so short that only the rounded corners are left.
3. A device as in claim 2, where the tablet computing functionality has been removed, and the device is placed vertically on its edge such that it can move freely along a surface.
4. A plurality of devices as in claim 3, placed at corners of a chassis containing seats and an engine which is coupled to two or more of the devices as in claim 3 in order to provide locomotion.
This is a cable from Malaysia to Japan/Korea. The branches are to places where some company has offered to share some of the cost in return for possibility to lease some of the spare bandwidth on the cable. Currently, all the international bandwidth to Malaysia is provided by leasing spare bandwidth on cables that run past Malaysia (mostly from Australia to Europe, or Singapore to Japan and Europe), and that spare bandwidth is fast running out. Having ownership of the cable should provide some guarantees for the future, at least for customers of TIME.com.my. Philippines has access to the cables circling the Pacific Rim between Australia/NZ and Japan, which probably have a lot more spare bandwidth on them than the SE Asian cables. Indonesia is not well placed for this cable, only Sumatra and Kalimantan are close to Malaysia, but the population centres in Indonesia are mostly on Java. As a result, Indonesia's international bandwidth is almost exclusively via Singapore until such time where an Indonesian company sees enough profit in commissioning their own cable to Japan, Europe or elsewhere.
If you are allowed to leave it without fear of physical, legal, or financial consequences, it's a religion. Otherwise it's a cult.
Is there a reason why you left social consequences off that list? Cutting escapees off from friends and even family is a technique widely used by cults, the others you list are really only used by scientology (perhaps physical threats are more widespread, but abuse of the legal system to harrass their enemies is a scientology thing, and the financial consequence of leaving a cult is usually that they stop being a drain on your finanaces).
In 1999, I was using a mobile phone with a switch on the side that locked the keypad. So even in connection with phones, slide to lock has prior art, which probably isn't patented because the "inventor" thought it was obvious.
I'd be very surprised if they are using a module in a slim tablet form factor. More likely they are buying the chips and putting them directly on the main PCB, in which case there are likely to be patents which the chip manufacturer did not license (as a chip is not capable by itself of implementing many of the patents).
The GP is wrong. Very few, if any, silicon vendors indemnify their customers from patent claims. You can buy 3G modules that come with patent indemnification, but 3G chipsets usually only have the minimum patents the manufacturer can get away with by claiming that their components alone cannot implement the patents, they have to first be combined with other components into a more complete product.
So Samsung does not argue that the patents are invalid or that it violated them but rather that it doesn't hurt Apple too much.
Because whether or not the patents are valid and being infringed by Samsung is already before the court, and not yet decided. The injunction against importation of Samsung's devices was ruled on that basis, so arguing one way or the other on that topic will not make any difference to the judge's decision.
Wasn't Kyoto enough to show that nobody wants to commit, and everybody wants everybody else to?
Kyoto certainly showed that about the US, as did the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, Convention on Discrimination against Women, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (withdrew in 2001), Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, Chemical Weapons Convention, Mine Ban Treaty, Comprehensive Test-Ban Treaty, and this goes all the way back to the Versailles Treaty.
Other countries have no such problems committing to agreements to make the world a better place for all of us.
Grep has a GUI. It is the desktop search feature built into Gnome 3, and no doubt KDE as well. It may not offer exactly the same feature set as grep, but it offers as much as any Windows or Mac equivalent. If you really need the more advanced features of command-line grep, and do not want to dirty your hands with a command line, there are graphical wrappers for it available on Linux, just as there are on Windows.
Anyone that knows anything about linux knows that most of the really juicy features require a CLI at this point.
Slashdot Mirror
Windows Phone 8 will be released at the same time as Windows 8, so it will no longer be behind once it is released.
Actually, "todo" is already one of the built in tags in doxygen.
It's also trivial to add a new tag to doxygen, which works across a number of languages. But this is only useful for "TODO" type items, where the developer has knowingly taken a shortcut because they would rather get something working quickly than spend time dealing with all the edge cases.

Pirate treasure! Let's dig it up!
Yeah, that'll work.

In related news, studies show that among teenagers who had tried alcohol, a staggering 100% had previously inhaled oxygen.

What is claimed in this invention:
Do you profess to know which arguments that Samsung will and won't be using in the pending court case against this patent?
Wait for the update...

Again, what juicy features are these?
Thank you for backing up my point. The rest of your post is rather confusing though, as you contradict yourself without giving any specific example.
For example....?
