i surely hope they are not dependent on third party services like google maps as part of the landing process.. they would need to install an infrastructure of sensors, cameras and network communication channels to obtain enough information about the environment as if they were actually there.. otherwise; we'll see planes hit a tree or newly built building that may not be available yet on google maps.
i've been offered positions at google over the years, wasted time with their bullshit interviews and even turned them down a few times - as we get older; we are more inclined to start our own businesses and be entrepreneurs.. it is not a shock that the younger generation of engineers want to work at a company like Google. what they need here is to also bring in relevant data around startups; how many people actually left Google to start their own thing?
I put an easter egg in Caveman (http://mobile1up.com/caveman/) where every day there is a unique unlock code that actually lets you play the first seven levels of Lemmings - complete with music, artwork and sound effects.. it changes on a daily basis - i used to post the unlock codes occasionally on twitter... if anyone ever reported it to SCEE; they would have a hard time reproducing it, the code wouldn't work by the time they tried it.
sounds like a PR campaign over something that will be effective.. if you look at any footage of ISIS and these extremists; they are a tad behind when it comes to technology - the social networks should be the one shutting down any propoganda efforts from these guys.. smells like "anonymous" is just riding on the publicity behind these tragic events to get noticed.
... not like the future "beings" of this planet are going to be able to figure out how to read the damn thing - we've all see planet of the apes and how inferior those beings were.. good use to document everything if it is just a hologram on a piece of rock..
nothing like doing some polymorphism and inheritance via casting of pointers!:) - good C code can destroy even the best written C++ code if it is done right. unfortunately (and i know this will mod me down); the kids of today just dont get how vital C code was back in the day. they want to do everything in a "higher" level language that is supposedly more cross platform. C is the only true cross platform language out there.
thing is; the "mark of the beast" is only relevant when it is implanted. she can simply leave the badge at home when not going to school. the badge is ONLY required when on campus if i understood this correctly. this is just a 15 minutes of fame stunt - nothing more.
Every retailer knows if you give away free samples or even free products you're encouraging people to come back. To buy your new offerings. People are creatures of habit and once we like something we want more of it. This massive giveaway probably did wonders for their signup rates.
the guy shared movies from the same producer; how are there new offerings?:) unless they offer more than 10 movies.
this only applies to the TSA who actually scan and pass people around the security scanning solution based on the results of what is in the barcode. in europe, you always have to go through scanning process, regardless of what your 2D barcode has encoded within in. all the TSA is doing here, is opening up a chance for terrorists based on local soil to get through the security scanning process simpler. the challenge is that the USA has the most number of travelers through the airline system than anywhere else in the world; doing extensive security checks does choke the system - so, they need to try and filter out the more frequent/trusted flyers, the net result is they are wasting time screening some since they done screen everyone.
... while i've always been a fan of IOCCC contests, when i was teaching C programming - most of the students source code could be considered entries to such a competition:) gone are the days where we used to write clean, understandable code. i always joke when doing presentations about the fact that the reason why most people are afraid of C as a programming language is because other people write horrible C.. if you write good, clean, understandable C - it is an excellent language:)
this is a big question for me (as a developer). or will open webOS will only support enjo (HTML5, CSS et al) with no native application support (existing webOS applications).
you say you were a programmer 20+ years ago? the only decent options back then were ASM, and the concept of OO wasn't even born yet - you left the industry because you were not capable of being in it in the first place. times have changed; all the old skool boys have stuck with C - specifically focusing on embedded environments (C, C++, objective-C) and the newbies (kids) are playing with managed code these days. CPU's are 1000x faster, RAM is 100x more available - you will have a better chance starting from scratch than trying to recuperate what you knew before.
i thought it would have been cool to get involved (been programming 20+ years now) - but the focus is really on high school students, so it needs to be dumbed down a little bit - if anyone has programmed for embedded environments, the idea of a restrictive IDE forcing you to do some things is a good thing. what they done want is a stack overflow on a unit in space:) not like you can remotely log into it to reboot it:) i would be interested in being a mentor to a group of students located in Munich, it sounds like a fun project.
... why should they allow phone calls to congest the bandwidth for all those torrents and downloads? if the copper wires are still there and function without any problem, why remove them? classic saying "don't touch what aint broke"
mm.. http://www.westhost.com/ - been using them for 10+ years, i have a dedicated server.. but, their VPS solution gives you email, ftp, http for a modest price.. no reason not to use a service like this. $50 / year, cloud hosting (full VPS).. would be more than enough. quit whining about the loss of free pirate servers.

be thankful he isn't cursing them in finnish! :) now thats a mean language. english is so lame in comparison :)

seems if you want to stick with apple; your screwed on this one. everyone should just boycott them :)

engadget reported this back in June http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/14/nokia-reportedly-scraps-meltemi/
if they were true IT guys, unless the woman looked like lara croft, i would not be concerned about it.
Never liked anything 'lower-level' than C

four-thirds pi = eight-thirds tau
just as complex in both cases.. neither case holds up as being singular for the sphere.

seems you do everything online, requires adobe flash for you to run simulations. you edit, compile and execute (simulate) code online.
now we will end up seeing way too much. TMI.

if your stupid enough to not change your posting style when trolling, your own bad.
Nimblebit just got a tonne of marketing over this - who cares about the ripoff? marketing 101 => success!
