Actually I can think of a use for itmyself, too. The way we are testing wireless forensics or mobile viruses is to set up and actual real life environment. No emulation, but real hardware itself. At the moment this calls for renting of an underground military machine shed/hangar which is naturally signal shielded by helluva lot of rock/soil on it. It would be lot more efficient just to have a test lab which is painted with this. And ofcourse building a faraday cage would be just as efficient, but it's always cool to rent underground military premises:P
I wont even read the article. How do you figure you can contain a WLAN signal? What about the windows? And the doors? Can you still make cell phone calls from within? Or listen radio indoors? I think the idea is stupid. I hope they didn't blow much VC money with this.
I think the comment was amusing enough to warrant funny mod. I don't care if he fishes a couple of clicks from his post.
I hate you MOD-PARENT-SIDEWAYS-TO-NEXT-TUESDAY-people. Look. Either you have mod points or you don't. Stop telling other people how to mod. And stop posting AC in fear of retaliation. Damn spineless assholes, not willing to stand behind their words.
Damn, that sounds cool. Almost as exciting as computer stuff before I knew it. Maybe I should switch careers. Do they hire self-taught "bioengineering guru's" now like they used to hire software people back in the day?:P
and had completely violated his linkware license by removing all links back to the Forest Blog site, not crediting him in any way. The MPAA blog was using the Forest Blog software, but had completely stripped off his name, and links back to his site.
Stupid blurp. If it doesn't have 100 words, no need to forcefully add them by adding reduntant content.
NP-hard problem solving is mere hand-waving. They don't actually solve general NP hard problems. Have a look at their work. I'm rather pessimistic and thus believe they are just overhyping their technology to raise funds. I'll wait for results before yelling in glee; "Told you so!"

And you don't seem to understand what the thingamaboob described in the article is. It's not all that spectacular you seem to think. "Quadratic equations" -- Ooh! It has Quad in it, ergo, it must have something to do with quantum computers which are, like, dood, COMPLEX!
Ahem... I take it that you haven't actually developed all that much for phones? J2ME is ridiculous toy at the moment. Only thing it's good for is writing unit tests for test applications that test API's (and fail).
True, that it's much easier to get started than Symbian framework, but you can't actually do all that much with the available API's.
Symbian is beautyfull digital masturbation of OS PhD's. It's very clever because of it's memory handling and so on. It's a pain in the ass to develop to thou.
The author understand that, and focuses on those elements of the story- creating a vibrant living world with three-dimensional characters and exploring how these recurring themes effect them and the world they live in.
Or maybe she's just a hack, and you are justifying reading the childish dribble to yourself?
Is that supposed to be some kind of proof? I see no connection between Bush being a flaming moron and majority of flaming morons voting him. Your whole country is composed of half-wits.
After all, if they can sue anyone who makes a mix tape and distributes it without the label's consent, then they can effectively prevent rap and hip hop from being made by anyone outside of the RIAA.
What a bloody shame, ain't it? How about composing your own music you talentless hacks?
Well. These happened to me in just two weeks. I drove to meet a client in another city. When starting my trip, I opened my laptop on the passenger seat and loaded up relevant maps in browser, which I could quickly retrieve if I got lost. I closed the lid and put down the cover of the laptop bag. 800km later, I parked my car, stepped out and grabbed the laptop bag by the handle, sending the laptop itself for a short aerial trick because the bag wasn't actually closed with the zipper. No damage. HP Somethingortheother (my work laptop) And today. I was sitting on couch with my laptop when my 1.5y/o daughter wanted to climb up to my lap. I set the laptop aside and lifted my daughter. No idea what happened but seconds later the laptop came crashing down onto the floor. No damage. Acer Aspire 1640. (my personal) I was actually somewhat surprised not to see any damage. I didn't buy this one because of it's solid (yeahright) build, but the cheap price tag.
Yeah... Stuff happens to laptops. I've broken one laptop over the years. It didn't just suddenly explode, but the active travelling just got onto the craptalicious plastic Dell frame. Literally, parts just started falling out.
Well duh. Simple correlation: More Linux products are emerging. Penguins mysteriously vanishing. I think Linux companies are poaching penguins en masse for packaging and advertising purposes!
There is no such thing. HDMI is the only way. Protected video path and all that DRM shit.
I think you can't watch even 1080i without HDMI.

Disabling the javascript by default would still be pointless because the original site needs javascript for something that would be exploitable..
And you have no clue what "precisely this" is.
Damn, that sounds cool. Almost as exciting as computer stuff before I knew it. Maybe I should switch careers. :P

Sometimes stupid shit is funny in context of well timed pun.
Sometimes stupid shit is just stupid shit.
It takes some practise.
Replying just to null my mod. Wanted to mod insightfull but slipped in the new browsing system and accidentally modded you reduntant :(

Loathing shitty literature hardly makes me a moron.
Maybe an elitist better-than-thou asshat, but certainly not a moron.
Bah. MogoMIPS is the only unit of performance I trust.
Thank you :) :)
You'r answer to my ill tempered trolling was most excellent
Name.
All it takes to sway a moron without an opinion is the name.
