    They actually feast at the end of everyday, not just the end of the month. It is very often a community feast (called Iftar), where friends & neighbors (even the ones that are well off) are invited. I agree with you on the rest, though.

    You misunderstood. You actually feast on spicy specially-made food in the evening, making you more satisfied about everything, and making you more horny.

    Do you read news? The release was headlines on google news.

    Also slashdot is mostly pro-guns. So I would advise you to avoid slashdot until gun nuts are under control.
     
    And I would like a source for the statements "He apparently thought he was the Joker" and "disarming the booby traps in his apartment".

    For me, the villian is the most important part of a batman comic. Joker & Bane have been portrayed really well, that I cant complain about anything else.

    Nope, but you get can tell the "passphrase" and the hash algorithm you used.

    It doesnt provide the same entropy as the regular password though. You can only move to 7 adjacent squares, and it very likely that you will travel in a straight direction. As long people understand password length, and pattern length are not the same, make it quite random, it should be good.

    Interesting concept. Not sure if they can make it to the market though. Existing regulation would prevent it from being called a car. They also seem very light, I am not sure they will pass crash tests.

    They exists. They are called air marshals.

  12. Re:Fast Networks on Could Google Fiber Save Network Neutrality? · · Score: 1

    The solution is simple, the city owns the last mile infrastructure (preferably fiber). The ISP compete on providing service over this infrastructure. The ISPs also pay a monthly fee to the city to use their fiber.

  13. He was hit multiple times AFTER he was tasered. Thats exactly what the video showed, and irrespective of the circumstances (hell he could have had a suicide bomb vest tapped under his shirt), the beatings were uncalled for.

  21. Re:Lovely on Washington State To Allow Voter Registration Over Facebook · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People keep migrating, so the states cannot keep track of the residents. Also lot of things makes you ineligible to vote. The registration gives the states time to verify eligibility. From what I understand, all countries register voters for this reason. Is it different in your country?

    Supercharging is not recommended on a daily basis. The batteries do not take the heat that comes with supercharging very well. They will be useful for extended trips, but they are no gas stations (atleast they will never be as prevalent as gas stations, even when 50% of the vehicles are electric).

    No, the reason Opera Mini was approved was because it did not violate any app store guidelines. If apple truly wanted to avoid litigation, they would approved Opera Mobile. And Opera did not choose to litigate against Apple for not approving Opera Mobile.
