What's funny to me is that Elop went all-in on the Windows Phone strategy because he didn't want Nokia to be just another Android device maker. Now they're just another Windows Phone maker.
City officials said the decision was a matter of principle: the municipality wanted to control its technological destiny. It did not wish to place the functioning of government in the hands of a commercial vendor with proprietary standards which is accountable to shareholders rather than to citizens.
If people really object to this a simple way to render the system useless would be to take the blades off the shelf and leave them elsewhere in the store. If enough people do this perhaps they'll have too many "false-positives" to justify the cost of the system.
I think this could be a great idea for system recovery. If your OS is crippled and you need to download something off of the 'net to rectify it you could boot to your BIOS to download the said things or repiar whatever it is on the partition containing your OS. It be like kind of having a built in recovery disk with net access.
Why does it seem that the US government exists to protect the rights of businesses over citizens? I don't mean just with this issue, but like the DMCA, etc... It's a tad unsettling.
Originally known by the code names "It" and "Ginger," the Segway was touted by supporters as a more important development than the personal computer, the Internet, or even the car.
Is it just me or does the above seem a tad extreme?
I was at a convention in Chicago a few weeks ago (at McCormick Place) and they had the escalators turned off. I had to walk up one to get to where I wanted to go. The thing was stopped but upon getting off my mind thought it should still be moving. It felt really queer getting off of the stopped escalator. My point is that I'm sure there's no escalator DNA or anything. It just boils down to experience - much the same for gravity.
There is no such thing as "bending" visible light around a macroscopic object.
If you'd pay attention in physics class you'd know about gravitational lensing. And since gravitational lensing is typically induced by astrophysical bodies I'd say it is indeed possible to bend visible light around a macroscopic object.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but think about what people said was not possible about 150 or so years ago.
Sure, they don't want to mess with life on Europa but what about life on Jupiter. The jovians are going to be pissed when they find out we crashed a spacecraft into them. I give it a week before they send something back or decide to crash the moon into the Earth just to "show us."
Does anyone recall when MTV was actually a station that showed music videos? You know before all the stupid programs having nothing to do with music. And (now) before devoting their resources to products doomed to fail.
I think someone should start a petition asking MTV to reconsider thier name.

30 years, sigh. How many parsecs is that?
A parsec is a unit of distance not time.
Bitchslapped by Muenchen!

Apart from that, of course it's extremely boring, but so is everything, until you think of the applications.
As a physics undergrad, I resent that. : (
Don't wait for Duke Nukem Forever.
The title is more suitable than you'll ever comprehend.
So, does this mean that the EULAs aren't binding if I click `I Agree' whilst intoxicated?
Yippie shit, another excuse to get fucked up! : )
So, I guess it's safe to assume that this one doesn't implode?
I'd be a little goatse.cx wary after the third door. : /

I know, it's late. : /
Does anyone out there still use their floppy?
I certianly hope so, otherwise the human race is doomed.
NOTE: The OS doesn't drive the car, it exists to handle the warning sensors and the like; so stability isn't that big of an issue.
Though, I have no idea why anyone would employ Win98 over 2000 or a stripped down Linux?

... because this planet is uniquely suited to us.
I think you have that backwards.
Hey, they're going to die anyway. They may as well be put to good use.
And exactly how does this differentiate them from anyone else?
they only look bad when they whore themselves for Microsoft money
Whoring themselves out for Microsoft Money. Man, what a shitty program. I think I'd be happier if MS just gave me cash.

Cellphone, or in the proper context perhaps just cell? Hey that's shorter than musenki too. : )

This reminds me of an article on BBSpot:

Funny stuff.
