He's criticising Slashdot. Whether he googles or not, Slashdot should still have provided this information. There's no reason not to say "British PM".
Perhaps he should know. Perhaps everyone should, but for any snippet of information, there will be a non trivial number of people who are not aware of it. Good journalists provide the information concisely withut forcing the reader to get key details elsewhere.
Facebook doesn't post any beheading videos. It's users do.
Give him the benefit of the doubt here. It's clear what he means
I thought we were allowed to be irresponsible as long as it's legal?
Hasn't been the case in Nanny state Britain for a while. At least not as far as most politicians are concerned.
If my Facebook friends don't like the content that I may or may not post, then they can hide it or unfriend me.
But this leads to the question of why facebook blocked it in the first place, and how those factors no longer apply. If facebook feels that that harm is done and they want to prevent this then they can block them. If they feel these are not the case then they don't have to. Facebok should make up its mind which of these is the case.
Do they substitute cars though? I'd have thought they'd simply have a spare train, or accept the capacity reduction and increase the spacing to compensate.
They should. The main problems are political rather than technical. Far too many drivers would object to being put out of work. Singapore's MRT's driverless lines were designed that way from the start.
They'd probably prefer to emulate one of the other European models or the Canadian model, which aren't quite as cheap but do offer more flexibility and higher standards of care.
Take the average cost of a website, divide by the average number of website users, and multiply by the population of the US. It's a simple calculation that can give you a very accurate and completely wrong figure.
I hinestly believe government It contracts are costed this way. Assuming the vcost scales linearly with number of users. it's the only way that you can come up with the sort of numbers they use.
20 year old electronic devices do still often work. Touch screens are solid state so last a long time. You will be able to control the air con, play music, connect to GPS satellites. Maybe it will look a little dated. But so does the cassette player in a lot of older cars. They still work.
Well, most of the patented stuff isn't essential. In fact they could probably do a GLES 1.1 compatible part without breaching any patents. By the time they're ready to implement any extensions, the patents will be close to expiration.
Hmm... when you put it like that, that's only the weight of 3 and a half Mark 4's. Still think it might be a little unweildy, and we probably need a few other bits to get it to work, but that is starting to sound feasable.
It's crazy that companies go through all this trouble to protect a revenue stream from something as inexpensive and generic as a DVI to HDMI adapter.
Except they're not even doing that! The article says the adaptor is bundled with the card, and it must cost them more for the EEPROM. Even at a fraction of a cent, that adds up over millions of devices.
So what should one do when there exists no language that all relevant platforms support well?
I guess I'd consider the effort required to support multiple languages across multiple platforms and consider whether the return was worth the extra work. What would you do?
So how do you prove that the application logic (not the UI logic) of an Objective-C application for OS X or iOS behaves identically to the application logic of a Java application for Android?
If that's important, you use C or C++. The point is it's an engineering choice.
Although you can't even prove identical behaviour across two different architectures reliably in the same language. For example;
int x = -7 % 6
This depends on whether the implementation rounds down or rounds towards zero, and what the sign rules are with the % operator. And if you're using floating point, you'll come up with new and intersting errors. The 387 uses 80 bit internal precision. Most architectures use 64 bit.
Unless your software costs more than a computer, your software runs on the system that users have.
Most software does cost more than the computer.
And when your boss sees growth in non-Microsoft systems, your boss will want you to figure out how to make an application available on non-Microsoft systems. For example, a video game studio might choose to diversify into PS4 and SteamOS in case the rumors that Xbox One will become Xbomb One turn out true.
If that's possible then you use a lnguage that's well supported on other platforms. Whatever the case you use the language that's the best fit for your problem. It's pointless dismissing a language based on not having a feature that you're never going to use. Even then, portability is only one aspect. I'm not going to write an Android app entirely in C just to make porting to iPhone easier. I'd be losing too much of the Android system that pretty much depends on Java.
So how does this work? Does it mean that my a VHS copy from a UK Gold repeat is now in the public domain, but a purchased copy isn't? Or does the broadcast copyright mean that the copyright on all versions of that expire after 50 years?
Well, I may be wrng, but I don't think Copenhagen Suborbitals is too concerned about the US government. The Danes seem to be a little less paranoid about this sort of thing.

Well, yes.
You say that as though it's a bad thing. It's not a zero sum game. He can benefit without other people losing out.
OpenGL is just a graphics SDK. Only draws polygons and pixels. You need something with scenegraph support at least. Plenty of options there.
Although Unreal is well supported, and it's pretty easy to find experienced develpers so it's a sensible choice.
More people travel from the US to elsewhere for healthcare than travel from elsewhere to the US.
No. I don't think it is.
They'd probably prefer to emulate one of the other European models or the Canadian model, which aren't quite as cheap but do offer more flexibility and higher standards of care.
Yeah. Guns solve all problems! Well known fact.
Strange. When I typed "How to register for an ISBN" into Bing I got a page full of relevant results.
It's an answer. One of two possibilities.
Is it possible that there's such a strong dislike of Microsoft on Slashdot that people will dismiss it as rubbish without actually trying it?
I do when Google tries to be too helpful and fails to give me the results I actually want, assumning I mistyped.
Clearly most people have never used it, yet there seems to be a strong opinion that it's rubbish. I wonder how people know.
Java pointers can be null.

Well, the target chamber weight about 140 tons, so might be a bit difficult getting to 88 mph while carrying that.

C# runs on Linux and Mac via Mono.
But really, who cares about it only running on MS systems? If I write software for MS systems then that's the system I want it to run on.

Well, the obvious one:
"I can't believe you snitched on me, you dirty rat!"
