It's 'a little scary' that volunteers will have the power to accept and reject broadband applications, said Craig Settles, an analyst and president of consulting firm Successful.com
It's a little scary that someone who runs something called "Successful.com" is considered credible enough to quote.
One newspaper alleges that another did this. Why does the summary state, without qualification, that it occurred?
That's right! You can't trust the MSM gotcha media! A newspaper putting its reputation on the line isn't enough. After all, they do things like break into people's voice-mail! They're all crooked!
WRONG!</KevinSpaceyAsLexLuthor> The HTC Advantage is not exactly a popular device, and according to the Wikipedia article, it uses SiRFstarIII.
My Android phone uses gpsOne, and it destroys my iPod and SiRFstarIII-based Microsoft USB puck, as well as the Delorme pucks I had before. Of course, that's only when I have a cell tower signal. In South Bumblefuck, Alabama, it took forever to get a lock.
Assisted GPS works for 99% of people 99% of the time. For everyone else, there is hardware better suited for their purposes, which is why this whole trollish "ZOMG GPS is dying!" article is retarded.
The Kindle stores 1500 e-books for your off-line reading pleasure The Atom netbook running XP or Win 7 can play hundreds of MSDOS and Windows games
A pitifully small library of crappy books, and games I didn't want to play when they were state of the art? Where do I sign up!
I seriously can't believe there are people who don't understand that there is a market for lightweight, touchscreen tablet. It's the fucking Internet, stupid! How much time do people spend on their ass, surfing the web? Who wouldn't rather do that in a comfy chair, in a manner doesn't give them carpal tunnel or make their balls sweat like the foolishly named "laptop"?
According to wikipedia, its an exension of the SMS standard. I would assume this is where the vulnerabilities lie.

And what's quoted above was his entire (known) resume when he got his big break.
Wait, so you're saying that being immensely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about a subject area, through both formal and self-directed education, can help convince people to back your inexpensive project? Wow, what a country!
If the joker who posted this article were anything like Tarantino, he'd already be well versed in computer graphics and animation, artificial intelligence, and electronic music. He'd also become a mediocre professional, unable to disengage his fanboy enthusiasm to evaluate the objective quality of his own work.
Damn straight. Every terrorist who has attacked America has been either a Muslim, a Christian, or right-wing kook. The pattern is obvious: conservative religious people are a threat to our very way of life. But when we recognize that threat, their powerful lobby and traitorous friends in the mainstream media kick in and start singing the political correctness whine.
Which brings us back to the initial point: Why would you WANT to kill that alien?
Yes, now that the enemies are like real people, we better understand why they deserve killing.
I'm waiting for the game where all the enemies are television pundits and moral panic whiners on the Internet. There's a group who needs its entrails spilled over and over again in glorious high definition.
How do these folks break even if the data will be free to download and use? A small nominal charge for use or download would not hurt for sure...or would it?
There's no reason why players of Alliance and Horde PvP factions couldn't group and raid together for PvE content, except that Blizzard doesn't want them to.
I was hoping that was where they were going with it. The whole faction thing is pretty retarded. Instead of Horde vs. Alliance, it should really be everyone versus the Lordaeron and Stormwind nobility, and the only marginally more corrupt Forsaken they became. Those are the real villains of the game.
The WotLK storyline hinted at that, but no, they invented an excuse for ever more pointless conflict. They have to, or the PvPeeners will quit the game.
What would be awesome is if they reversed the faction allegiance of entire races. Blood Elves would get over their irrational hatred of Humans and other High Elves, Tauren could realize that Night Elves aren't so different from them after all, and Humans and Orcs could form secret colonies together to write Jaina / Thrall fanfiction. Everyone could decide, together, that they really, really, need to wipe out those whiny emo terrorist Forsaken.
For some people, being good at video games is the only accomplishment they have to be proud of. When these "casuals" come along and popularize video games that don't require obsessive repetition and the mastery of trial and error game mechanics, it cheapens their only achievement. It forces them to recognize the failure of their lives, so it is understandable that they'd put on an airs and whine.
A lot of people value their racial and cultural and uniqueness, and would be extremely disappointed at the prospect of losing that due to Western ideas of "mixing".
A lot of people are completely irrelevant, and can be ignored by everyone who matters.
Plagiarism is copying from one source. Research is copying from many.
Another snappy witticism on Slashdot, but it's wrong, and not in a nit-picky killjoy technicality kind of a way, but just plain wrong. It's so inaccurate that it's not funny is what I'm saying. Plagiarism is when you directly copy, or reinterpret with significant similarity, the work of another without citing the original author. It's got squat to do with how many places you take from. It's perfectly fine to build on the ideas of others - hell that's the foundation of academia - as long as you don't pass off that work as your own.
The blackberry requires all your corporate communications to go through their third party server.
Don't forget the third party called your cell phone company and every freaking router on the Internet.
I bet all of the people going "ZOMG all my emails go through Canada!" use unencrypted IMAP on their iPhones knowing full well that AT&T snoops on email for the government.
Seriously don't expect university graduates to be able to do any professional job well, engineering, architecture or software coding, all the graduates will require years of training to become anything approaching useful.
It's funny that there are people who think that. I assume it is because they themselves required years of training to become useful.

And in other news, due to the preponderance of cell phones that play music, car audio systems are going the way of the dodo.
but that if the discarded embryos are going to be used for stem cells it may encourage doctors to create many more than they need
No, it is because the very existence of discarded embryos is the consequence of a sin, and thus tainted, any use of those embryos furthers the sin.
The anti-stem cell research, anti-abortion, and anti-sex education positions of conservatives is primarily motivated by sin.
These denominations rely upon theologians a lot smarter than you or I
LOL, no.
His name is Soulskill. He has been waiting his whole life for this moment. Don't ruin it for him.
To borrow a phrase from Michael Jackson.. What have you done for me lately?
Pissed on your grave, you ungrateful whiner.

Any proof that he was detained and that this happened? Otherwise I'm tempted to believe that it is a stunt to advertise his comic.
I'm tempted to believe that you believe that the President wasn't actually born in Hawaii.
Who in their right mind would assume that securing an airplane would require reading a passenger's private documents?
He was asking for it. No.. he was begging.
The only people begging for it are the submissive right-wingers who worship authority.
