I think it would be better to use Wikipedia as a source to find reference. You find what you're looking for on Wikipedia, then follow the references. If there arent any references then you should probably move on anyways because it's unsubstantiated. IMO this is what makes Wikipedia more useful than many physical sources, its facts are usually referenced and substantiated.
What if he doesn't use twitter? Do they expect him to make an account, get everyone in the crowd to subscribe (assuming they don't have some massive aversion to it like my self and refuse to go) and then update the twitter telling everyone to beat it?
This also some how assumes every single person in the crowd has some mobile twitter solution configured as well which is entirely ignorant. If the law officers don't understand anything even a little they shouldn't be allowed to take actions based on their ignorance. Thus they should be relieved of their duties as they cant possibly do their job by making such obtuse assumptions. What the hell is this? The dark ages?
Their rating system is entirely biased and is not even remotely objective. Their admitting in the past that they will still give failing grades to some companies even if they are the greenest around just because they think it might influence them to do better. Basicaly saying regardless of how well you do you'll never be good enough.
Effectively they invalidated the entire program of rating companies meaningless. You cant hold everyone to wildly different standards and still expect to be taken seriously.
I sure as hell don't carry around my disabled phones with me so their request would have been entirely useless.
Also, if the radio was the carrier can still find it. Like others said 911 is still always active on the phone regardless of service. This is why its suggested to leave a phone and a charging cable in your trunk in the event of an emergency.
Seems everyone is making a big deal out of a stupid request. It should be "Moron cops don't understand technology, make idiotic request. Thinks cell phones allow you to track people even if they don't have it on them."
Seriously, a "proof of concept" trojan is no more than fear mongering. Wake me when there's some malware that's spreading around and is an actual threat. Not when someone claims to have made one that's no threat at all.
Is this just a re-branded Yellow Dog linux shoebox server? I recal them being yellow with a black logo and EXACTLY the same specificiations like 6-7 years ago.
Amateur Rocketry is now dead too. I remember going out to pick up a couple engines and found out about the new (impending) restrictions. The government pretty much handed the terrorists their victory and hobby science is one of the victims.
The anti-virus companies *ARE* responsible for all the viruses that are made!
Seriously, it's just flat out fear mongering trying to MAKE a market for them selves.
Maybe they need to engineer some viruses for QNX too? There's a market they haven't tapped yet, all those bank machines and robots in factories are running with out virus protection!
I for one welcome our virus laden QNX based robot overloads.
All of the NTP patents have been rejected by the Patent Office in initial and second Office Actions, based in part on prior art not considered in the 2002 trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The rejections from the Patent Office were all based on multiple grounds, required the unanimous agreement of 3 senior patent examiners and are expected to withstand all future appeals by NTP.
It only took a month to go from the second to final re examination on the most recient invalidated patent. Yea right the process is going to take years ignoreing everything thats taken place already... This guy needs to be banned from journalism.
I'm tired of the argument, it's been beaten to death. I'm not going to bother going through the pages of things that The GIMP fails at. Its lacking a ton of features and many of the features it does have are poorly implimented.
Try applying the same filter in GIMP and Photoshop, GIMP often looks like complete garbage. Some times it's fine but usualy its juts just a waste of time.
Gimp isnt enough. PERIOD. No matter how much people want to think it is, it's no where near Photoshop. Just because you can reorganize its menu options to look like photoshop its not photoshop!
"The final product contains about 0.2% alcohol. Non-alcoholic fermented coffee beverages could be obtained if the process employs aeration during thefermentation with the yeast." Which they wont do because that'll kill the aeroma..
Ok so its non-alcoholic enough for sale in Canada as a Non Alcoholic Beverage.
Remindes me of Beavis And Butthead when they buy Non Alcoholic Beer.
I'm not going to take that seriously until I see some actual 3DMark results. I can overclock my 9800Pro to some insane speeds but once I start to push it I get all kinds of corruption.
Watch out, when someone figures out how to hack your bluetooth automatically, grab all your personal information and talor its advertisements accordingly, thats when I'm going to be afraid.
wow that wallplate is so ugly. he should pay somebody the $40 to get it machined out of aluminum if he has the CAD for it.
Whats up with the cable going from port to port? Jebus, he could have just run it straight down to the box. What does he plan to do? plug other things into the mac thru the ethernet port often?

Reboot should get a Reboot!
That was a great cartoon.
Maybe C.O.P.S too! Fighting crime in a future time!

BlackBerry's can do both S/MIME and PGP. Seriously does anybody check facts before they open their ignorance hole?
It should be Tommy Chong (of Cheech and Chong) playing the part of Linux. Then this would be more believable.

They have a strong case? Sine when?
They have had no case since the beginning of this fiasco.
The House will now consider the Flags for Orphans and Broadcasts bill...
Krusty would be proud.
How many screamers have claimed to do this?
It's not April 1st yet!

Gimp is NOT for professionals.
Too bad we wont be able to say "At least it's a dry heat" if this continues.
It'll be twice expensive when it blows up :-)
Interferometer? More like Interociter am I RITE or am I RITE?
