Agreed. If they're going to do that, the, "New submitter markfeffer, Senior Editor at Dice, writes [...]" part was at least an honest way to handle it.
Maybe they should add the disclaimer at the bottom like we used to have for parent and sibling companies, too.
I'm sure these meters make mistakes both ways right? Occasionally under counting.
From the article:
"They are wrong by missing numbers by one way or another - sometimes it's over reporting, but more frequently the error is under reporting," he said. Under reporting should be a relief to those facing overage charges or service termination for going over their meters, but if the meters aren't counting the data properly, it is still a problem.
If you know of any competing device that's anything like the Ouya but better spec'd, please do let me know.
I do see some bare boards matching your description at $250 without an enclosure, power, console style UI and curated store, or controller of any sort. I think we can agree that's not even close to what we're talking about, though.
And either way, there's no reason to get angry about it. If there's a compelling alternative I'd like to know about it.
Something about slashdot makes it really combative. I don't know if it's the karma system, us, or something else. But if you say something people see, no matter how rational, someone is going to disagree just to disagree, and it's probably going to be a little nasty.
Like you said, that usually starts with someone tilting at some inconsequential and opportunistic BS taken out of context. A couple mod points later the whole thread is off the rails. It's pretty irritating and I doubt most of us actually converse like this in the real world. We'd get laughed at or punched.
I'm using one of the common Android-on-a-stick hdmi dongles, and I've played with others. They're not very good.
The Ouya out-specs most of them, the software ecosystem sounds promising, and the controller that works will be nice. Not all TV's do CEC and the gaming function of the controller is nice.
If it is really a stupid choice, evolution will do the rest. No need for name calling, ape.
I've never driven a car with such a device on so I don't have an opinion on whether or not it's safe.
But when people do unsafe things while driving, people that are being safe are often on the receiving end of that stupidity. So maybe let's not get fast and loose with the 'evolution will do the rest' line.
He or she is probably referring to Fox News' coverage during the lead-up to the election, where they'd report on the results of early polls where Ron Paul often came in first or second among other Republicans, but just completely omitted his name... like he didn't exist. It was really weird.
Just skip to 1:15 to get past the drama. You'll get a good laugh.
Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is cre ated in fixed form. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who cre ated the work.

Public domain may not be the default status of a published work, at least in the USA.
Not may not, it is not. Copyright is automatic. The terms of use you assign, either by agreeing to a ToS or an explicit license, are largely separate.
This means that code is essentially untouchable in its whole form. Without a declaration, the originator owns it, IMHO.
That's not just your opinion, that's how it is. You own your work unless you've assigned ownership to someone else, or done as work for hire, under contract, etc. That's licensed or not. You continue to "own" your work, even if you eventually license it permissively. That means you can do a fork of your own work that's completely closed too, if you like, so long as you don't run afoul of any previous or interim contributors' work and licensing.
Don't confuse that with the ability to retroactively revoke the terms of a permissive license though. You can't just yank GPL licensed code back from people that are using it. The license is designed that way.
I really should have said, I don't know that there's anything illegal about selling an exploit to your own government, even if it's through a broker (as is the case in the article).
But comparatively evil? I would say so. I think I'd rather get paid pretty well and just have Google fix the software for everyone.
Such activities are out of my league anyway, though.
I think we can agree that the founding fathers, Jefferson most of all, preferred Star Trek at the time. You'll notice that live long and prosper appears in the Declaration. What's true is that Lincoln, arguably a less cerebral man, was a drooling Lucas fanboi. This explains the lines regarding his use of the force in a time of rebellion in the Emancipation Proclamation.
The point of this was that it wouldn't use complex models where they tweak to fit expectations. Instead it plots atmospheric CO2 against global temperature, specifically accounting for denier favorites like urban heat islands, volcanoes, poor station condition, data selection bias, and transparency. All the data is available at the site so anyone can run the numbers themselves. According to them, and by the looks of their graphs, it's a shockingly close match.
The conclusion is that the temperature rise is from human greenhouse emissions. As always, everyone is free to try to come up with more convincing evidence to the contrary.
More accurately, Eric Schmidt and daughter tag along to talk about internet access and end up thinking, "these people should really start with heated structures."
When someone speculates, "citation needed" doesn't usually make sense.
But if it adds something, his occasional bouts of depression were no secret. In the way of a citation, I offer his own words: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/verysick
What the summary doesn't mention, I didn't see on the petitions, and haven't seen the comments so far, is that they offered six months, instead. I'd be interested in knowing if that's accurate. Anyone?

I really hope these work out to be good devices.

So... they won't be selling support services for your privately hosted and operated, DIY OpenStack "cloud" implementations?
If I'm understanding that right I'm not sure that's news, even if it does say OpenStack in the title.

We've given MS a lot shit over the years.
That might be understatement of the day. ;)
Lately, though, MS seems tame (as they are not a serious player in the markets that matter) compared to some of these companies of today.
Believe it or not, they're doing quite well for themselves.

I should have known nobody wants to hear that, before I submitted it. I'm a dummy.
Not to worry, neither am I, but we're in pretty plain territory here. :)

Yatse. It's far-and-away the nicest xbmc remote for android I've used. I think it's $3. It's absolutely worth it.
Worse things could happen than to be bought out by facebook for a billion dollars.
I guess that's the gamble. ;)

Of course, one is legal and legit and the other is pretty evil. So for some people I imagine it's the only real option.
I'll wait for the first service pack.
Now you're just being ridiculous.

"The software itself, much of it will be mothballed," believes Daniel Ryan, who worked as a director of front-end engineering at OFA.

An excellent approach. If you don't like the answer, change the question. Can we call this, "The Kirk Maneuver"?
