I know the US has really gone downhill lately, but I don't think they've stooped (yet) to convicting people (rightly or wrongly) of things that aren't illegal (in some fashion or other, subject to interpretation by the courts).
They develop their own FPGA-accelerated algorithm accelerators that are hand-tuned to execute their algorithms faster than even the fastest general-purpose computer hardware.
So what you're saying is, for those specific purposes, they may have the fastest computers on Earth?;)
So you think it's right that a small company - possibly with a single employee - should be obligated to provide services far above and beyond those they've set out to provide just because they have a website?
TL;DR: I'm tired of waiting for a Slashdot story that would allow me to post my conspiracy theory while remaining on-topic, so I'm shoe-horning it in here.
I was wondering the same thing, although I gather these questions were asked of those who were actively watching the debate via Xbox Live. If they were wise, they would randomise which answer was on which button. But still, the question is one that could be asked in a number of ways and is wide open to inference. It's not like "Will you vote for Obama or Romney?"
which seems like it could be unnecessarily problematic for small companies (if you run a bakery that takes orders online to be delivered around Paris by motorbike, does that mean you have to ship to Berlin if someone wants a doughnut?)
Therefor breaking EU law in this regards (single market).
I thought the single market was about abolishing government-level barriers to trade. Is there a part of the law that says a private company must ship to Iceland if it ships to France?
IANAL but the UK site is probably breaking the law due to the free movement of goods and services within the EU.
IANALE, but isn't that only about guaranteeing the free movement of goods at a government level, as opposed to making it mandatory? Should a private company be forced to deliver a sofa to Svalbard even if it's prohibitively complicated and expensive to do so?
why not start with the actual experiences of our submariners under similar conditions?
What makes you think they haven't already done just that? You can only go so far with field studies - at some point you need to put the rats in a maze.

Slashdot Mirror
EIGHT BOOKS.
That's one hell of a markup considering he made $1,200,000.
Specifically he sold dozens of copies of eight textbooks
Ah, there we go - presumably that's "dozens" in the sense of "thousands." Not that the whole thing isn't utterly ridiculous, of course.
No-one mentioned being gay. Something on your mind?
I'm British, you insensitive clod!
I agree. The first page of any math article should be easily accessible to someone with a BS in a STEM field
Hey, kids read this site, y'know. Pervert!
'I supposed you could design a car that flies and floats, but it wouldn't do those things very well
So the headline should read:
Apple CEO Likens Surface To Car That Flies, Floats And Does Neither Very Well.
A car that flew and floated, lacking other qualifiers, would be awesome.
No, "disorderly conduct" does.
Is that a crime? Seriously?!

they aren't a Wall Street trading firm.
Would you know if they were?

NSA doesn't have the worlds fastest computers

For many people the Christmas/New Year double issues of Radio Times and TV Times were an annual event.
What were they for the rest of the people? :S
It fucking works fine for me.

Yes, I actually don't think that would be unreasonable. But, having said that, someone else has pointed me at this:

Also it's so bloated with ads for dubious phone services these days that it's really worthless except as a way of getting subtitles.
No ads on CEEFAX.
And that TV guide covers all channels, not just the one you've called the Teletext up on.
CEEFAX always had full listings for all of the analogue channels, and I think it had them for digital channels as well.

Or any doctor doing that tappy knee thing.
You might feel a slight shattering sensation...
Ugh. You know that trope where someone is taking a drink when they hear something funny and shoot said beverage out of their nose? I have a cold.
Marblar sounds like a great marblar. I was just talking to Marblar the other marblar, who has always wanted a marblar for his marblar.
not only lived up to the expectations of fans, but exceeded them by a good light-year.
Since when has expectation been measured in units of distance? Clearly the author meant "space-percent."
