I have made my own salsa for years with garden grown hot peppers and never needed gloves. as for cutting the ribbing on the jalapeños i leave it if it is for me but cut it out for people that don't like the food as spicy. thats the thing about cooking that would make a computer driven cooking bad you change the recipe depending on the pallet and tolerances of those eating.

Sue EVERYONE, with the inevitable end result of infinite monies forever. Clearly.
the seed won't do anything to us (they won't give you their genes transferring gene between cells is a lot of work) but the will kill off other non modified crops which leads to lack of genetic diversity which can make the species susceptible to disease and lead to their extinction (see bananas) and mass starvation.
most grains won't grow from cuttings. But food crops that due such as bananas are in a lot of trouble do to lack of genetic diversity leading to whole breeds dying in mass from disease.
yes it does contaminate other crops thats the whole problem here. pollen from roundup ready terminator crops spreads to neighbors normal crops offspring inharite terminator gene terminator gene is recessive not killing this generation but out competes natural plant due to the built in genetic alteration so most third generation plants have two copies of the terminator gene render sterile. Simple mendelian genetics you should have learned in 8th grade science class.
first we would have to figure out the new rules of physics that the new universe for said object/creature/entity would have live in and figure out if those ar compatible with the current universe to the degree that we could construct it, also it would have to survive the transition between universes which would not be as easy as they show it on fringe
Geohot didn't need to crack it for several years because it was unlocked when it came out in 2006 and was only locked after Sony locked it via firmware update in 2010 for the original ps3 but had removed the ability in 09 for ps3-slim before release. So saying it took him five years is disingenuous at best. Geohot only started toward the end of 09 according to the all knowing wikipedia and had it successfully hacked by the end of march 2010 meaning it only took him a few months effort.
microsoft google apple and others are probably drooling over the possibility to buy rim. RIM own lots of patent for smart phones and mobile devices they also have a secure network for email and internet entrenched enterprise/government market.
Hopefully the ability to accurately tell time. But with the way phones these days work at making calls, I won't hold out much hope.
Funny you should mention it, because the iPhone keeps horrible time. Which is weird, because as I understand it, GPS requires accurate timekeeping, which means that anything with a GPS chip in it can get a very accurate time. I know that my GPS-enabled camera is capable of setting its own time off of GPS.
The iPhone, on the other hand, ignores its own GPS chip in favor - well, who knows. Apple doesn't say. All I know is that the reported iPhone time is generally anywhere from a couple of seconds to over a minute off the time reported from an NTP-synced computer.
If they're planning on making it just be a "smaller iPhone" then it probably really will be a watch that can't keep accurate time.
A) gps requires accurate time, B) iphone won't use the gps clock, going for its own less accurate timepiece C) people end up lost using apple maps for directions, coincidence i think not.
for that to work they would need to kill all old equipment and sdr (software defined radio) broadcasting tv and radio from terrestrial transmitters must, by law, be unencrypted with exemptions made for cellular telephone systems
well you could see that it is submitted by the/. staff.'. it is a slashvertisement. if you want and you have and account you could just filter out all all of the stories submitted by the "slashdot staff" aka dice marketing drones, and only have user/editor submitted stories.
Computers also have memory protection which prevents an application from copying data from another application. Is that feature "faulty by design" too? When the kernel prevents a user-space application from corrupting important internal data structures, it subverts the function of your almighty mov instruction. Is that also a fault, then? When hackers "get root" that's seen as a fault in the OS, but by your logic in fact the fault was just that the OS made it hard for him. Ridiculous.
How you can put a huge fucking value judgement on how computer software is "supposed" to work and then pretend you're just stating mathematical truth is beyond me. Clearly you have no fucking idea what the words "mathematical truth" mean, and are so full of your own opinions you actually believe them to be fact. In other words, you're the worst kind of narcissistic wannabe-alpha-nerd. Good luck with that.

Gravity is really annoying for the American Airlines. Those are the breaks.
I'm fairly sure that without gravity, American Airlines wouldn't have much business. People could just flap their arms and fly to Mexico/Australia for the winter:-)
without gravity we would already of experienced the heat death of the universe. loss of an airlines business would be the least of your problems
The difference is fundamentally that Linus lets me copy and share his numbers that is Linux, and asks that we all share them nicely. Where the MPAA want me to pay to view the numbers but not let me copy share alter or play with them. We are defending copyleft as Richard Stallman calls it, the right to do what you want with the numbers, to share alter use and make your own, and not have them locked away from you that the copyright of the MPAA uses.
we defend the right to share we fight the limitation of our rights to do so.
running a new computer has a larger carbon footprint as greater energy consumption of the older box is offset by the polutants and energy required to manufacture a new low energy consumption unit.

It's a really fuzzy distinction. Taking the iPad as an example, what aspect of it makes it not a PC? Not the hardware, it can be connected to a physical monitor, keyboard, etc. Not the general tasks you can accomplish with it, most of those overlap, and for many people, all of them do (my father uses one to replace a computer, doing his surfing, e-mail, word processing, etc. on a tablet).
I don't think your criteria of expandability works. The majority of computers sold today have little no no expandability; try swapping out the processor in your laptop. There are external peripherals, but so are there too for tablets.
I think what is a PC and what isn't depends largely on how the owner uses it. My father uses his iPad as a computer, because it does everything he did on the computer it replaced. I don't, using mine for occasional media consumption and casual games.
As a parting comment, I'd point out that the Chromebook is considered to be a personal computer, but that it is far less flexible and capable on a software level than an iPad; both the iPad and the Chromebook can use web apps, but the Chromebook has no ability to run native software beyond what it ships with (like the first-gen iPhone).
i haven't tried to swap out processors in my laptop but i did swap out the ram (doubling it) and when i can afford it am going to swap out the hard drive for a larger one. So laptops are still upgradeble. and while the chromebook doesn't come with a normal OS I can put a standard OS on it if i so choose.
