What is "it"? Am I missing the bleedin' obvious again?
The processing power available inside modern supercomputers isn't just able to help us better understand the universe we live in... Apparently it is also helping to make better ice cream
First of all, there's no actual contradiction here, so the summary's not wrong - only, on first glance, a little redundant. Secondly, the supercomputer could help to make better ice cream without helping us better understand the process/the Universe (by giving us an optimal recipe without explaining why), so I would argue that there isn't even, strictly speaking, a tautology.
I'm not saying that the police are perfect, but the fact is that 12 members of the general public, who were probably (unless you've failed to mention that you're on the Police Complaints Commission, or something) given far more information (good or bad? They had to decide) about this event than you or I ever were, disagreed with you.
That fact alone is evidence of serious shenanigans.
No, that fact alone is evidence that the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was a reasonable chance of conviction. Then the jury disagreed. That's what they do sometimes.
The simple fact that a manslaughter trial took place is not evidence of serious shenanigans - or are we to ignore "innocent until proven guilty" when something doesn't sit right with us?
Well, the guy's obviously a maroon, and plenty of people have already posted to that effect. I mean, I'm a bit of a geek and an occasional nerd, but even I draw the line at writing blog posts about how I like to have Photoshop set up. Ain't nobody got time for that, especially when there are $100 dollar apps to be written!
Adobe Nav is one of several Photoshop “Remote Connections” clients provided by Adobe, and uses the public scripting API - so you could make such an app yourself, without worrying about any internal, Adobe-only magic.
Oh, so open is good when it's convenient for you, huh?

killing or capturing terrorist leaders can reduce the effectiveness of terrorist groups or even cause terrorist organizations to disintegrate
And all this time the US military were just doing it for the lols. How serendipitous.
Many have argued that drones/UAVs seem to be a logical weapon of war: ground troops are not needed and strikes can be specifically targeted against terror-cell leaders (so-called 'decapitation strikes). Others have argued that such attacks only fuel more anger towards the United States and the West
Hopefully some other "others" realise that it's not a binary choice and that drone strikes can in fact do both at the same time.
The first article linked to by the article says 500 years old, though whether the discrepancy in the summary is down to scrupulous fact-checking by the editor or a serendipitous cock-up is anyone's guess.
Any decently-produced disc should use it, since it's an instant 20% reduction in data vs. hard telecine (where the repeated fields are fully encoded). You'd have to ask Sony why the PS3 won't try to output 24fps!

That may have been good enough in the days of 14 kps modems

Millions of dollars spent and those are the best images we get to see?
And then run Minecraft on it, obviously.

More recently, the Ian Tomlinson murder trial
It was a manslaughter trial.
We know different.

It's minutiae.
Madfinger Games has joined the long list of developers who have recently turned their paid Android based game, Dead Trigger, to a free one.
Just how many developers have written this one game, then? Oh, and it should be "into a free one."
The iOS version of the game still costs $0.99 and hasn't been made free.
Thanks for clarifying that, because when you said it still costs $0.99 I thought it might also be free.
You're probably already sorted on that score.
Its a Muzzie wothout brains
Yeah, you can tell by the terrible spelling and punctuation. Oh, wait...

Couldn't they, I dunno, just put it in a rat?
