This way of presenting the statistics seems a bit too sensationalist.
From TFA: "Accident rates up 68%"
Sure sounds serious, no? They could have written: "Accident rates rises 1.9%"
Not that interesting all of a sudden, but it's the same numbers.
Then the source of the title of this post: "iPhone 4 broken screen rate up by 82%" Reading the fine print reveals that "3.9% of iPhone 4 owners reported a cracked screen within 4 months, as opposed to just 2.1% of iPhone 3gs owners."
From 2.1% to 3.9%. Again not that interesting, but no numbers for a headline.
What would be interesting is how accident rates compare between smarphone makers. This is just massaging numbers to get a headline.
If you're discussing etymology, then yes. But I was under the impression that this was about the "therapy" of sticking needles into specific points in the body.
Not that etymology can't be used to muddle the topic. This is slashdot, after all.
Only, this is not acupuncture. This is just piercing the skin with needles and then twisting them to see if you get a response. There are plenty of known methods through which that could operate.
Acupuncture on the other hand supposes that the body has "meridians" and "acupuncture points" which you put needles into to manipulate the health of the body or parts of the body.
To this notion I will still say that "there aren't any known methods through which it could operate."
I'd consider $33/seat comparable to the windows server 2008 CAL-license price of $39.95/seat (20 pack at $799). But then you would also need a CAL-license for the exchange server at $67/seat for email (included in the osx-server license).
"the evil version of Microsoft" I thought the evil empire was Microsoft? Am I misinformed? Um, wait... Provided evil is negative: If Microsoft = Evil and Apple = Microsoft * Evil then Apple = Good
I agree. This sounds like Just Another Physical Distribution Medium introduced.
In these days:
1. The medium is not important. 2. Content rules. 3. Available content is more attractive than restricted content.
So you get a new way to make content available, BUT can you add whatever you want to the SD-card or are you limited to ready-made compilations (aka. Albums)? If you can tailor the content of the SD, then this will be a genuinely new way to physically distribute music (although you have had that option online for a long time). If not, it's old news wrapped up as new.
Unlike the US counterparts, the Norwegian Okokrim suffers from low-to non-existant computer skills
Do not assume that the police do not have computer skill. The local sheriff might be computer illiterate, but that does not automatically transpose to a central police investigation bureau like Okokrim. On the contrary, they are very computer literate. They have to be to successfully investigate and gather evidence in computer crime.
That they are set to uphold a law that does not make sense anymore is not their fault.
The cost of space is getting out of our gravity well, as most here point out. So let's build a moonbase instead. Once there and operational, the rest of the solar system is open. The cost of getting from Earth to the Moon is actually higher than getting from the Moon to say Mars, or the asteroid belt.
Then refine the minerals on the moon and drop them down the gravity well for use on the earth.
In the long run it will probably be less expensive to produce minerals down here on earth. So why go into space at all? Mainly for the technological returns. An active space program generates technology for humans everywhere. And we are suckers for tech. Not only geeks and hackers, but the entire global economy are fueled by thechnology. If we don't want do go Amish we go to space. And we will. Eventually.
There's no question that the moon will get a base on her face sometime in the future. What language they will use in the command centre is uncertain though. It might be chinese, or hindu.
Seen from the US every party on the left side of the Progress-party (FrP) is socialist. Even the conservatives. FrP is roughly equivalent to the Democrats and in Norway they represent the far right of the political spectrum.
So he's right. We're mostly a bunch of friggin' socialists who gets to own what we buy.
Ahem. The case wasn't held in the Norwegian supreme court, it was helt at the Oslo local court. It could be appealed by the MPAA first to the lagmannsrett, a court with a jury. Only after a decision there can the case (or usually only the sentence) be appealed to the supreme court.

I mean, really? What would you use a kinect for sitting at your desk in front of your computer screen? Waving your arms in the air? Oh, wait...

Wait. $33/seat is a bargain!

Oho! Ohohoho! You fanboi, you!
Do not despair, the article is here.
Witch would be:
Aug 26 1991, 7:12 am, when Linus revealed his intentions
or
Oct 5 1991, 4:53 pm, when he announced the availability of Linux.
Either way, Linux would 20 in two years time and 18 later this year.
