Laser light is reflected off the reflective substrate and its the difference in the reflection pattern which shows its reading a pit or not... so with no reflective surface fail to see how this is going to work.
Blame the bean counters and marketingdroids. Engineering will not have been behind the push to release anything they didn't consider fit for purpose (which I'd guess in the case of firmware means a minimum of not turning your device into a brick)....
Which is missing the point of my post, while I don't mind u-571 to accuse video games of screwing history (or atleast portraying it as a negative) is skipping over the fact since the first movies history has been treated as little more than a toy... by most entertainment forms.
You must be new here... posting without reading the summary let alone the tfa is common, nay almost universal, practice - and looking stupid has never in the history of slashdot stopped someone spouting off.
Most tactical systems use UDP so you could argue TCP has already been replaced;)
The trouble with policy based management at unit / sub-unit level is not with traffic within the unit's AOR but with traffic which crosses multiple unit's networks. Not only that but you have two conflicting isssues: Traffic prioritisation based on the traffic type (E.g voip - low jitter requirement) and priotiy based on user needs (E.g Flash, Priority, Immediate, Routine etc... Or to get really stupid flash override override;) )
How to square those two issues is a large part of any problem they will need to address.
Did it ever really have a cast iron claim to that title?
Repression has always existed, just the target changes (albeit now American has done away with selective discrimination repesses all equally so that's a kind of progress).
And argueably with their 'do no evil' motto the evil they're doing is even more tainted than the usual corporate evil...
MS you know are going to be bastards... so you make allowances and only actions over a certain point are evil. Google you expect to be the good guys.. so you don't make allowances and any mild infraction becomes evil.
For balance then we need a system where by we, the public, can vacate a judge on the same grounds...
The idiots who hand out prison sentances for missing a council tax payment but give muggers a slap on the wrist need vacating from their benches (or ideally the gene pool).
(And yes, I know this is a US case but jury's and judges do share certain common traits with the UK... phrases like two short planks act as the link)
Android asks you to agree that the app you are intending to install can access a list of various services etc it is then up to you whether you agree or not, you can also revoke permissions for installed apps if you change your mind later.
Running a live cd assumes that the BIOS boot options aren't locked down [and that it doesn't use a strong password and can't easily be circumvented just by shorting out the CMOS battery]
Not shaministic - its called requirements analysis.
Take customer/manager, listen to their random and usually contradictory utterances and rearrange into something approaching a set of system requirements.
Firstly IANAL and even in my job as a systems/software engineer I try to avoid dealing with patents like the plague on idioligical grounds (I also avoid spelling when ever possible).
Could this following scenario happen:-
1. Create a set of patents based on a product, each patent has a dependancy on the other(s). 2. Release a sub-set of the patents for product. 3. Wait for people to use the released set. 4. Sue them for breaching the unrealesed patents.
And not to mention Nokia know the N900 is not for your average cellphone user but more biased towards tech lovers; who will get very peeved with any lock downs and will just unlock the dammed thing anyway...
Slashdot Mirror
1. Spam googles index with 1000 sites
2. Wait for payment to move to microsoft
3. Profit
4. ????
(Ok, wrong order but this time the profit comes without extra work on our part....)
Assuming the US stick to their promise to keep SA turned off...
The whole point of the EU system during normal use is not to REPLACE GPS but act as a ADDITIONAL aid which should improve accuracy.
Of course only America matters and the rest of the world doesn't...
How the ? does this work?

sudo = Program to run when YOU know you need more privileges.
MS thingy = Program that runs when it decides you need more privileges.
MS thingy = receipe for dumb users to give permission when they shouldn't.
sudo = way to stop dumb users (just don't add them to the sudoers file).
From the sumary:-
and accompanied by DARPA representatives
Which means unless you have a few spare DARPA staff hanging around you might have problems with the authenticity part...

1. Hop on green bandwagon
2. Use unsubstantiated/flawed maths
3. ????
4. Profit

Of course thanks to the genius of Holywood we all know the Enigma machine was really stolen by a bunch of Americans (U-571) and not by Poles....
Movies have been playing silly buggers with history since the first movies, video games are no different. Both are forms of escapism from reality.
Why's this a) a suprise and b) taken so long for some to figure out?

Wadda ya mean any more? never really has been, never will be as long as users can just click yes I don't care ;)

Would you need an addbug to troubleshoot it?

So was Azrael and look where he ended up...
Think while MS and Sony are demons, Apple, Nintendo, Google are all well along the path to being fallen angels.
Doubt he'll spin - more likely just to say told you so.

I suspect he's thinking of a photon torpedo rather than a photon bullet... :)
I do wonder though whether you could also use this photon machine gun to any form of fancy imaging etc...

Err... Microsoft coughed up over Halo, and I'd bet MS have more laywers to parachute in than Blizzard could even dream of.
