And what did the judge so when Apple showed non-admissible evidence right there inside the court room? Not a damn thing. Just kidding, actually she did do something. She told Samsung to stop complaining about it.
So, Apple shows evidence IN COURT that the judge said wasn't admissible and instead of declaring a mistrial, she complains that Samsung complained about it. Then Samsung releases non-admissible evidence OUTSIDE COURT to the media and she gets all pissed off? Either she is the most clueless, incompetent judge in human history and this is her first trial and she never went to legal school or this is a crooked as it gets. She's either some obsessed Apple fangirl or they paid her a hell of a lot of money to be this one-sided. I'd give her about 3 days before she's forcibly thrown off the trial by the DA or whoever does that.
...wait no, he's not talking about high capacity clips in online video games? Then maybe that amendment should GTFO of that bill! I should run for senate, introduce a law that requires amendments to be directly related to bills, then leave lol.
To change from a male to female, you have to take a whole list of synthetic drugs that are not allowed by any athlete in the olympics so they already broke the general rules. So that's pretty much the end of that (for purposefully altered genders). For mutations/natural accidental unclear genders, don't allow them to compete based solely on the potential to be unfair combined with the inability to test unfairness of any advantage it may give them. It's simple, logical, and solves the problem. That affects probably 0.001% of people on Earth so no big problem there.
By the way, am I the only one who knows that DNA testing would solve this instantly? All the hormones in the world won't change whether or not you have a Y chromosome. Use that as a starter and disqualify from there, obviously.
The slower I'm going, the less attention I'm paying. If it was legal to go 90, I'd be paying pretty damn close attention to the road! It actually makes it seem suicidally dangerous to eat breakfast or do your hair so people wouldn't even try it, lol.
By the way, I believe we have a video clip of this simulator in action...
I have a theory: this idiot couldn't find an insecure enough (for his skill level) website from a bank or a politician or something like that. So, his vulnerability scanner came up with that 1 site so he "hacked" it, and I use that term loosely. This is approximately the equivalent of walking into my work, saying you're a m@d skillz hacker, and finding that 1 person with their login password on a sticky note on their monitor and saying you hacked their login...and I guess it's like someone really nice or something lol. Absolutely pathetic.
Thankfully he did not have my personality or he'd have had the balls to hack a anonymous-controlled website or communication system instead. Or at least Rick Roll them lol. Trolling Anonymous would be HILARIOUS. Hacking charities, not so much.
I'd like to also add that having a very likely to get laid off job and not having a swift fallback position lined up is incredibly stupid. I work in IT, which will always have jobs, and I've been an assistant mobile DJ part time for 12 years and live camera and video mixer operator for a concert venue and my church for 11 years. If that whole computer thing tanks and nobody uses them anymore (lol) then I can walk into my pick either one of those jobs full time. Sorry, lazy scientists. You don't live realistically and reality hits you hard.
This reminds me of those asshole factory workers who went on strike for some bullshit in my city a couple years ago for basically nothing but the fact that they were getting laid off. They thought they were entitled to a job and none had ever worked a different position ever, for decades in most cases. The average person changes jobs 7 times, welcome to America. Go live in a straight communist country if you want the same job forever.
Let me just remind scientists of something (and musicians, actors, astronauts, and history majors). Your job is never guaranteed! You knew that! YOU FUCKING KNEW THAT! The people who hire you do not have money coming out of their asses. There's a 99% chance your work isn't producing a sell-able product. That is not job security. You're getting fired for that reason and only that reason. If you want job security, you would have to be working in a field that has job security. By the way, I work in IT and even I have 2 fallback positions in different fields. Failing to have a fallback position is not grounds for not getting fired or a protest.
The most popular VR headset caught on like wildfire, selling over 4 million units in Japan alone for the game The World...a game which resides inside the fake world created inside another game series called DOT HACK. Sorry, I had to, lol. Any DOT HACK fans out there? The theory, however, is quite sounds and doesn't feel like some unrealistic projection of the future. I think it was only 2024 or something when even DOT HACK GU allegedly took place. They have fake news stories in the game about people being "public shut-ins" with the VR headsets on outside. They walk around and walk in front of cars and stuff, lol. It's just as good as any professional futurist's best guess (because they hired one) but more realistic seeming because they had to tell a story.
That title got cut off. It was supposed to continue "...until the sun goes down." We still need to have the technology to store it well enough, which we don't. Giant, spinning, magnetically levitated, superconductor-based electromagnetically-driven balls in a vacuum is the best we can do at the moment for efficiency and a very expensive plant can supply a relatively pathetic amount of energy for like 20 minutes. I'm not kidding either, someone built a prototype (as seen on slashdot)
Incorrect. "Information" is a human concept with no grounds and place in physics. Someone made all this BS up to get grant money and keep their job and get a book contract and a bunch of people followed along. The concept of "information can never be destroyed" is idiotic. If you so much as ask one of these physicists what the difference between energy and information is, they have no explanation because there isn't one. It's like the theory that degrading isotopes don't have an "alive or dead" result until the radiation is "witnessed" but there is no such thing as witnessing in physics. It's a human concept. Let me prove it: and particle interaction that detects the result doesn't cause the initial event to happen that caused the particle interaction in the first place (yeah, it makes exactly that much sense). Since information is also, after all, a 100% human concept, and information is actually just energy from a particle bouncing off another particle that happens to mean something to a human, OBVIOUSLY you can exchange energy and "information," because once again it does not exist.
Here's an example. A particle is flying through empty space at X velocity and Y vector and has Z mass. No matter what happens to it, if you had unlimited measurement abilities, you could see the results after the next 1000 particles it hits and follow it back to find out what X, Y, and Z were. That's preservation of information. But since there is no "information" in physics, it's just the measureability of energy, which does not randomly disappear, so you can always measure it...or so the theory incorrectly says. Black holes don't even violate this because the entry angle of a particle compared to mass changes the rotation of the black hole as it enters so physicists thought they had something there. BUT just because a human can't design a device made out of matter to measure properties about a particle doesn't mean the energy is not there. The information is gone but the energy isn't. Once again, "information" does not exist. It's just whether or not you can bounce another particle off it to measure its energy. That's where the theory falls apart. The LHC basically proved it.
Let's say instead of space, that same a particle I mentioned above is flying through the LHC. The collision causes it to turn into something else due to excessive energy and it's no longer detectable because it doesn't have mass, well, bye bye measurable information. The energy is still there though. And there are completely undetectable particles in existence that do not interact with matter in any way. So once again, information can be lost, because it doesn't exist.
P.S. I have no idea what the fuck they mean by this experiment they did. Entangled = part of physics. You can detect the information of certain properties of both by measuring one because they're entangled. That is not news. You still can't measure the properties of a non-entangled set of particles, you know, due to the established laws of physics. Where is the confusion here? They have discovered absolutely nothing new. Entangled particles act as 1 particle in some ways and 2 particles in other ways. That's just how the quantum effect works.
I wouldn't be able to put the glasses on though after getting surgery for carpal tunnel and joint strain from constantly pressing my fingers into a vertical touch surface. The human hand just wasn't made for that!
By the way, I guarantee you can I operate Windows better with a Dance Dance Revolution foot pad than my fingers on a screen. Full disclosure: I am a 3 time DDR tournament winner lol.
Why don't they just do a contextual IQ instead? Answer survey questions like do you drive a Kia? Do you buy scratch off lottery tickets? Do you believe the moon landing was faked? Do you own an emachines computer? I guarantee they could get accurate to within 5 points.
Well I actually am a UI designer (.NET even) and Metro is a crime against computing. Whoever invented it should be shot. No sub directories? The whole thing turns microscopic if you install too many things? Apps mixed in with what you're actually looking for? Ugh.
Am I the only one who thinks there isn't a VPN service on Earth that's fast enough to stream video from England to the US? They should change the title to "attempting to." Try even just streaming a 320x240 feed over a local area network with RDP or VNC. Video works great with an actual dedicated encoder streaming it as media but that's not how the BBC is serving it up. They're streaming it via a webpage. If it has to stop at some network relay point in england then to your browser window on your actual computer, get ready for some chop chop choppiness.
#8 in the article states that IT World asked its users if they simply want to punch that genius guy in the face, lol. I think the geniuses overall have a worse customer satisfaction rating than Geek Squad (as read on slashdot) so even before the commercial aired, I think people wanted to do that. But anyway, the really funny thing is I absolutely guarantee you they won't do that he's doing in that commercial, on an airplane or in the store. They won't help you with a specific, 1 time project you're working on in iMovie. They'll tell you in general how to use it but won't basically assemble a slideshow for you. Great job, Apple.
There was 1 guy who 100% of the time worked in IT on phone support and never worked in the field so he usually came in grey sweatpants and a Packers jersey. You could actually show up to a million dollar job interview in a Packers jersey in Wisconsin and it'd still be acceptable but not the sweatpants lol.
I'm the head IT manager at my company and I just wear khaki or otherwise tan colored shorts, usually with sort of poofy utility pockets since I carry stuff all the time and I'm definitely not carrying a man purse. For the top, I wear something with buttons and usually lines up and down it. It's sort of a technician look or architect. It's a tiny bit geeky but still would look normal on a non-IT worker and looks pretty good overall. My other 2 jobs had the exact same dress code as well. If any job told me to wear a suit every day just to work in IT, regardless of the position level, I'd tell them to shove it up their ass. I'm pretty skinny but I'd sweat like crazy in something like that, let alone having to crawl under a desk with it to hook up a monitor.
Maybe that should judge should learn how court cases work before she presides over this case. If they say XXXXX cannot be administered as evidence and then you show it anyway, you instantly land somewhere between a mistrial and losing the case. I can think of several criminal cases that were instantly done and over with because the prosecution mentioned something about the defendant that was specifically not allowed as evidence. Like if someone was on trial for being a serial killer and they deemed it not admissible that their previous occupation was a butcher in a deli because that's not really a fair correlation and then the prosecution tells the jury that they used to be a butcher, the trial is over. That's not even up to the judge, that's the law.
