We must be talking about different sorts of science, because from what i know, the simple idea rather is "be objective, and be sure to keep it falsifiable
But maybe you're right and someone in the US invented a time-machine, [subsequently used his time-machine to make money,] and then decided that that was a better way to make money than using a time-machine.
To the downmodder: You must be deaf if you have never heard loud cracking/buzzing while plugging or unplugging a 3.5mm jack.
Guess where that comes from: The receptable's contacts are temporarily shorted whenver you plug or unplug live equipment.
Guess what this means: 3.5mm jack isn't even hot-pluggable
Guess what we call this: poor design.
what are you talking about???? the whole article is about how apple doesn't use micro usb!!!
yeah!!!!!1 however, our discussion was not!!11111one. it was about why the EU would mandate standard chargers at all!!1. here's what i initially replied to:::::colon
why should the EU MANDATE anything in this regard? let companies choose whats best for their designs. EU makes me barf sometimes. hint hint: let companies design the best products for less money and your economy will grow.
Sad that you can't keep track of what you're discussing.
why restrict innovation in the name of some marginal save the environment?
Where's innovation? Despite the great variety of phone chargers, they all do the same job.
make others upgrade their processes to apple's standards
you... what?
rather than forcing apple to use deadly cables instead of pvc-free. [blah blah]
You're obviously a fanboy, but keep in mind this wasn't even about Apple. They just complained loudest, while other phone makers simply complied, making the (non-Apple) phone world a slightly better one.
why should the EU MANDATE anything in this regard?
Here's the reason
It might seem odd to you, but some parts of the world actually try to become a bit more friendly to our environment.
Getting rid of huge fucktons of phone charger garbage is clearly a good idea in this regard.
EU makes me barf sometimes.
People like you make me barf all the time.

I thought so too, but apparently by wrapping the statement in parenthesis "(uid=0)" the compiler warning goes away, not even -Wall -Wextra shows a warning then.
First of all, uid=0 isn't a statement (uid=0; would be), but an assignment, and hence an expression.
gcc/does/ warn, if the result of such an assignment (i.e. the value the expression evaluated to) is used as a truth value (i.e. in a logical context).
This means, that
if (uid = 0) {}
will generate a warning, as intended. (Note that the assignment is still/not/ considered inside parenthesis, as the outermost parens are part of the ``if''
To silence the warning, you'd surround the assignment in parens:
Right, most the printer drivers come with CUPS.
Wrong, most graphics drivers come with Linux. If you're into proprietary drivers, it isn't too hard to find them on nvidia's or AMD's website.

No. It's poor design.

So nothing. Are you trying to establish a straw man here? Apple is irrelevant to this "discussion"

Betteridge's law of headlines applies equally well to subjects of posts on /.
I see what you did their.

Oh, really. Thank you AC for pointing this out, the ,,[goatse.cx]'' totally made me believe it was a legit link.
a) A fixed-rpm engine will be more efficient than a general purpose one.
Care to show some numbers?
The idea here is that a properly-tuned fixed-RPM engine should be able to charge those batteries several times over on a tank of gas.
If you're using your gas to charge your battery, then you'd be going more efficiently by directly using the gas.
Oh, look. It's /this/ idiot again.
Protip: Tick AC box next time.
Don't panic()
They have a video camera that takes frames faster than light can travel
Ohh, so it takes frames with over 300,000,000 m/s?

It should be an error in toy languages, yeah.
In C, not so much.
FWIW, assignment doesn't ``return a bool'' but ``is an expression which evaluates to the assigned-to value (an rvalue of appropriate type).''
Except it's almost -300% post-release failure rate...

what could possibly go wrong, right?
Right, most the printer drivers come with CUPS. Wrong, most graphics drivers come with Linux. If you're into proprietary drivers, it isn't too hard to find them on nvidia's or AMD's website.
I was gonna try that but I couldn't find the 'type' key.
Linux device drivers are easy for normal end users to find, compile and install.
Trivial, I'd say, because they are part of Linux.
You can put out a match by dipping it in gasoline.
You can do that with Diesel. I really wouldn't try it with gasoline.
100 millibits per what? That'd better be nanoseconds, then.
