Unless the language adds something revolutionary or is very domain specific, we don't really need anymore widely used programming languages. What we do need is more libraries, frameworks, and APIs for existing languages. Preferably, they would be open source or at least have open specifications so that an open source version can be made. Also, not all problem domains warrant their own language.
I can see why Apple should be given some time to assess new evidence outside of court but I see no reason why Samsung should not be allowed to present the evidence. Court cases should be about the facts not legal acrobatics.
I agree one per house is a little much but one per block or a few blocks does not seem obsessive especially in high population density areas. As far as maintenance goes, they would manufacture them in bulk to reduce the cost and probably make them so that they are simply replaced (and possibly repaired offsite) rather than repaired onsite.
Why? From the the article they are already making insanely high profit margins. They could put half those margins into infrastructure and still make huge amounts of money without raising prices.
I think he means something a little more beefy than WiFi and a little more public. Rather than trying to find new locations for big towers, they use small towers and give customers a discount for hosting a small tower on their property.
Game maker should be thinking about ways to keep players playing the games they buy, rather then preventing them from selling them.
That would also have the side effect of making games actually worth $60 or more. If I think I am going to get a lot of playtime out of a game, I am willing to pay proportionally more for it.
You are forgetting the cost of having employees, a building, games that never get resold, and any other overhead they have. That said, I don't know why anyone would buy a used game when they can buy a brand new one for $5 more. I also don't know why they would turn around and sell it a couple weeks later for half of what they paid for it.
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds good to me.
I haven't used it yet but I just found Lendle for Kindle users.
Crap. I wish I knew this existed before. Is there any alternative sites out there? Maybe I should start one myself.
Everyone would probably need better upload speeds.
Just do it after you create and release Half-Life 3.
Slaughtered. That's it? They should have played real life Angry Birds.
And the world ended in one burning, feathered torrent of doom.

Red Bull and Mountain Dew?
They wouldn't have to be on your internet connection. The carriers would make deals with the ISPs or simply become hardwired ISPs themselves.

Before, they were allowed to drop your service because you were in violation of the TOS.

More towers with smaller broadcast domains?

There is only a handful of games out there that are worth $60 - $70 dollars. I usually wait for sales when I buy games.
I wonder how transient the skills actually are. How much of their training can easily be applied to other RTS games.
Blizzard should really consider a remake.
Why is this considered news?
From the article:
Tokelau has a population of about 1400 and they have access to electricity for between 15-18 hours a day.
Somehow I don't think the average American will to agree to not having 24 hour a day access to electricity.
Either one of those would cause less people to watch TV. This would cause a feedback loop into a spiral of doom.
Have they actually started doing this? I currently have Hulu Plus and so far I have not been confronted about my lack of cable subscription.
