Besides which, "friends" means something completely different on Facebook.
In the real world, they're people that would slap you in the face for being a dangerous shithead. On facebook, they're often just people that were in the same yearbook as you, once upon a time.
If there were some genuine allergy concern (like with peanuts) then I'd think they should put it on there in a manner consistent with "contains peanuts" labeling.
So far that doesn't seem to be an issue. On the whole, it seems promising as a method to remove allergens.
I should have added, while I don't really have any strong opinions on it, I can see both sides of that argument.
Someone that thinks they need to avoid it would want a mandatory label so they can easily avoid it.
Food companies know that people are generally stupid and terrified of anything that sounds like food+science (see: dihydrogen monoxide hoaxes), and will perceive the label as "STAY AWAY", even if there's no reason.
I imagine that falls on the insurance of the operating company.
It sounds like this is about liability for travelers to space. As the article quotes Sen. Smith, âoeWhen you buy a ski ticket, you waive your right to sue the ski operator if certain rules are properly followedâ¦. When you buy a ticket to go to space, you willingly assume all of the risk.â
A minor hurdle, really. Companies have long since addressed the gift-giving complications of something you buy and retrieve online. You gift a card.
A kid doesn't care if it's a disc or an immediate download code on a plastic card. They're not nostalgic for the old game cartridge in a box thing like I am.;)
Resale might be dying either way since physical media is becoming passe, but what I see a lot more of is small developers publishing reasonably priced (sub-$60) games, often without horrible DRM.
You do have plenty of options that don't include this kind of bullshit.
Companies can pay DirectTV, Comcast, etc. for public display. We got specific sports packages under such agreements because that's what our customers wanted to see.
I don't think any of us are under the impression that we'll be buying tickets for private flights to mars in 2013.
But I'm excited about private spaceflight anyways. The cost of a launch is coming waaaay down. They're working on sending humans to mars, even if I won't be able to afford to be one of them. It won't be long before I'll be able to afford to send up a cubesat as my own pet project. All of that is exciting to me.
I'm sure there are reasons, but I honestly don't understand why people love to hate on private spaceflight. It gets things done.
a) Most devices that are still stuck on Gingerbread are cheap feature phones. These are the people who won't buy your app anyway.
That 50% number is from people in the Play store.
b) Even giving up half the market, you still have a larger audience than any other smartphone OS. Android is sitting at ~70-80% worldwide marketshare; the nearest is sitting at like 30%ish.
That doesn't change the fact that you're giving up on 50%* of the Android users. I'm not here making a case for iOS over Android, just that the situation among Android devices absolutely sucks in this regard.
* You're actually throwing out 61%, if you also consider that more people are using Froyo (2.2) than Jelly Bean.
I think it's fair to say federated identity services are certainly on the list of characteristic technologies that help define "web 2.0", as useless the phrase really is, even if not a strict requirement.
S2 here. It took them a year to deploy ICS after it came out. Seven months since Jelly Bean came out will actually be a huge improvement, even though it'll already be out-of-date.
While I still prefer Android over iOS, I've learned my costly lesson... don't even consider buying an Android device that isn't a Nexus.
Also, as someone that writes software for Android, I don't like having to target Gingerbread (circa 2010) or give up half the market. Google needs to do something about the savages leeching the platform just to pump out new devices and abandon them.
I'm not the GP, but I do know that some prescription antidepressants have known side effects that can include violent psychotic breaks and strong suicidal ideation.
That's not conspiracy talk, that's printed on the box.
Having said that, I'd honestly like to know more about this link between marijuana use and psychosis. I know everyone here has already dismissed it, but this is the sort of thing people should have pretty good answers on. It's not a new theory, after all. Show us the results. Good ones. We'll go from there.
I figured many of these industrial control systems probably work with vendor supplied software developed for windows. So in places where you need that kind of hardware you end up with windows machines.
This is one of those times I wish there were an 'edit' feature.
So it looks like there's been plenty of study on honey bees and other invertebrates demonstrating that they'll continue to perform a wide variety of their usual mechanical behaviors when decapitated. I'd be interested in knowing if something like the heat probe test works on a honey bee that doesn't have it's "brain". I imagine that would at least tell us if these noxious heat reactions are autonomic.
Of course that wouldn't tell us if there is a pain component, but it'd tell us if nociception tests are at-all useful in determining if whole invertebrates feel pain. From there I imagine you'd have to move on to observed behavior, looking for corollaries between how vertebrates react to pain, in a way you can differentiate from autonomic responses.
As a disclaimer, I'm way beyond my pay grade on this as a lowly tech geek, but I'd be interested to see if anyone has gotten that far (I wouldn't be surprised). Sources, anyone?

Context.
The discussion was about distributing games on discs. If you snipe five words out of context, of course it's going to sound odd.
If there were some genuine allergy concern (like with peanuts) then I'd think they should put it on there in a manner consistent with "contains peanuts" labeling.

I'm sure they'd say it's begging for Scarlet Letter treatment, but without having done anything wrong.

[No.] There's no need to elaborate, is there?
I want to agree, but according to the linked articles, it sounds like they're making headway on proving that wrong.
It was also bullshit rhetoric, but let's just skip past that...
Me, as in, the customer? No way. You pay what they tell you it costs based on the number of tv's, programming selected, etc.
Sorry if I somehow confused that.

Last I heard, Armstrong (who insisted he said it right), was vindicated by analysis of the original audio.

No. But here's a more direct explanation posted by Donenfeld: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2012/Dec/242

This personal computer thing is just a fad. You can't do real work on them. People aren't throwing out their mainframes at work.
Portable computers are dumb. They're too expensive and heavy. If you want real computing resources you won't be able to carry it with you.
This PDA thing is just a fad. A computer in your pocket is just a toy.
eBooks are just a fad. People still want their paper books. This will pass.
DMP's are just toys. Who wants to listen to highly compressed digital music when you've got portable cd players?
Tablets are just toys. Nobody is going to buy them in place of laptops and netbooks.
Now you wait just a goddamned minute...
Cheetos come in a box now?!
Thanks for that.
And I'm glad you got it in early... this article was far too TMZ for slashdot, imo.
