For the moment we'll just have to envy iPhone owners
Nope. No, we won't.
By the way, I saw someone use this app months ago and thought it was sort of neat but also a great way to damage your iphone when it takes a tumble.
With whatever you're doing, silently use your internal somatic voice processing system in your brain to process the audio of counting from one to ten (basically process it as if you were going to say it, just never move your mouth). When it combines with whatever else you're doing, it will use up all that part of your brain's resources and you won't be able to hear/process any sounds around you. It's a technique that I learned very quickly when learning to speed read. It works very, very well.
Actually it's because I'm right and you're wrong. You think, for example, the NYT can publish secret stolen blueprints for a new stealth bomber? Same level security classification. No they cannot so get over yourself, you're wrong.
I know it's been a long hard struggle over the last decade or more for chip companies but I'm glad they're getting past that and just putting on the label WHAT THE DAMN FUCKING CHIP IS! I'm sick of havink to boot up a laptop just to see what the fuck "AMD Vision" means. It's a real crap shoot between E1 APUs and Phenom x4 chips. If it has a fucking A6 on it, put a fucking A6 on the logo! Not "intel inside" or "powered by xxxxx" or "centrino" or just "AMD" or nothing or a green AMD logo instead of red, or just "pentium" but sometimes the hologram means G-series and sometimes the hologram means P6000 series or "Core Duo" where it might actually be a single core chip. Ugh. Is it really that fucking hard?
It's not as simple as that. You release a notice saying versions prior to 0.8 have a flaw that lets them make invalid blocks and damage the chain, great, some people out there want to make invalid blocks and damage the chain on purpose. You know like all banks, some governments, and some individuals, and douche-trolls from 4-chan and anonymous. So they need a bit more protection than just a recommendation to not run older versions.
What the fuck planet is this author from? The government would have gotten wind of it, after they likely reported it to the government, and they would have immediately handed it all over with a court gag order in place as well. Receiving stolen property is illegal. Receiving stolen government classified intel is probably more illegal. Publishing it online and in the paper is mega ultimate super-illegal so no, not a damn word of it would have gotten out. I can't believe Slashdot let this idiotic of a fantasy story through.
They knew about the flaw and fixed it a long ass time ago. They just didn't realize the old clients wouldn't work 100% with the new database style, although it seems really obvious to me.
So wouldn't forcing everyone to upgrade cause no loss of data? It sounds like old clients can handle 99% of blocks (all buy >= 500k) but the new clients can handle 100%. So forcing everyone to use the new client means no loss of data, right? Or did the older client seriously make an entirely new chain after the biggest block? Because I know blocks are formed based on the block before it but the majority of people are running the new version which means the old clients' chain would never get "approved."
So it's like traditional wireless such as bluetooth except more susceptible to interference, it has a shorter range, it's easier to intercept, it relies on top quality speakers for a broadcast source (and top quality mics) to receive data correctly, and it's able to be perceived by humans. Wow, what a step in the wrong direction.
There was a story on slashdot a year or two ago about how unfriendly the Linux community was to new users and how nobody was willing to help anyone because it was more fun to lord over them their advanced knowledge. That's been my experience as well.
More like every game release. Yeah, all of them. They're either glorified betas, require 1GB+ patches on day one, or have crashing servers. I've never played a working game on day 1 in the last 5 years. Even Skyrim had some very unusual, annoying problems. It basically redownloaded itself in its entirety from Steam despite the CD being in because it got caught in some sort of strange logic loop.
He also had an interesting comment about Ubuntu's target userbase: "I simply have zero interest in the crowd who wants to be different. Leet. 'Linux is supposed to be hard so it's exclusive' is just the dumbest thing that a smart person could say."
Too bad that's the opinion of way too many people on too many Linux forums. In fact, that attitude launched Linux. It wasn't about total computer cost or features. It was about "I'm better than you" and they shut out all the other problems Linux had to pretend it's an ideal OS instead of addressing them to make it more user-friendly.
So this is EA's development strategy for maximizing profits.
1. take the estimated development time from the developers and cut it by at least 20%, preferably 50% to ensure only coding and not testing is done.
2. save a million dollars on testing time costs and the expense drop from overall development timeline shrinking
3. lose 10 million dollars in sales by releasing a game that doesn't work on day 1, ruining your game's reputation forever.
4. Start making the next version but even cheaper and even less development budget because of what a disaster the previous version was
5. repeat steps 2-5
When someone starts working from home, check every week if they VPNed in every day for a certain duration. If they didn't, they're fired. Simple. Why they just let it be a free for all and then checked back on it years later is beyond me.
The Kinect can't even tell the difference between me, my roommate, and our couch and it's lucky if it can find my hands. I'm sure under absolutely perfect conditions with proper surroundings inside a subterranean bunker, it could detect a clenched first 10% of the time. In reality, you'd need a 200x more accurate Leap Motion system to do that. Btw, google that. Their website has an epic video.
It's not sufficient to stop: "OMG there's alcohol breakdown residue on the surface of this rock! That's organic! It must have been from the same life that made that chunk of plastic!"
You think that's a discovery? Pffft. My company actually has a point of sale PC that has a Pentium 4 1.6GHz w/PC133 RAM and a 20GB hard drive. So naturally, as you're thinking right now, that sounded really familiar. The sticker indicating it shipped with Windows NT was the dead giveaway. So, I looked into it and yeah, this was Christopher Columbus' navigational computer onboard the Mayflower. I knew it was old but I didn't know it was that old! Now I know why they kept it around so long.

Oh yeah, seeing a "centrino" sticker and looking it up on the ARK would REALLY help identify the chip without booting the laptop.

For the record, is that the original one that they already either did or were planning to move off of or is Berkley the new one?

Better just move the hosting to North Korea right now and get it over with, lol.

So this study found that stereotypes are completely, completely true. That's great.

I've been wearing the same 9 shirts for 2 years at my work and a recent survey has revealed only the women noticed :P
Yeah, they can legally tax every single e-mail server that resides in Berkley, California. Good luck with that.

Always stay critical. Towards everyone!
Okay, that second statement isn't a sentence.

So if someone loads a computer virus onto Curiosity, it might spawn robots on Mars?
