That's stupid. thousands of fans so interested in their IP they're willing to show up for things like this, and this is the reaction from Disney/lucasfilm?
I imagine if the disciples had lawyers, Christianity would never have taken off... unlicensed proselytizing might weaken the brand and it goes without saying, they'd need to shut it down, right?
i think the only reason the dx failed was the ~400 dollar price tag.
The form factor is fantastic. mine recently developed some broken pixels, and i'm dreading the day either the screen completely fails, or the battery becomes useless.
that's insane.. i mean given the size (area) of the US, it would take more than just a few nukes to 'cripple' the US. Besides, given the US's nuclear armed submarines -- NK would be reduced to ash pretty much before their missiles even landed on US soil. (this is of course assuming they can even get an ICBM to reach.)
well assuming multiple cars are on the road, and they pool learning/algo's, eventually they'd log enough hours to figure out even a snowstorm, godzilla attack, or human traffic controller.
because the market would absolutely, positively NOT be flooded with Chinese melamine tablets masquerading as antibiotics.
I kind of like the stringent standards that the FDA imposes on prescriptions; really this sounds more like a patent/IP issue; drug companies are able to restrict the manufacture of generics for years, thus artificially keeping prices high.
really? i thought the soviet (and now Russian) worked like this: Officer pulls you over, and then they take all the rubles in your wallet. If this sum wasn't sufficient, then they'd punch holes in you, and/or take you (to Siberia).
Comparing the diet of an ape in equatorial africa to early humans might be a bit off though. There was a significant period of time between pre-humans migrating out of africa, and the invention of agriculture (really; food preservation methods).
Besides, hasn't it been reasoned that part of the development of our big ole noggins was a direct result of a higher quality diet -- more meat?
thank goodness early hominids (we're talking in the same time-frame as lucy) invented agriculture so we could evolve to survive on a year-round diet of fruit, vegetables, and grains -- right? Also, thanks for reminding me that you shouldn't chew meat with your molars, as they are reserved exclusively for grinding vegetable matter.
(This being Slashdot, it's necessary to point out that the previous statement was absolutely sarcastic. Any explanation for what humans should eat needs to take into account what life must have been like during an ice-age or any period of extended winter, prior to having the ability to import stuff from the southern hemisphere, or grow in a greenhouse.)
of all the things that didn't happen, i suspect this happened least of all. did he also try using the cd-drive as a cup holder, or press the 'any key'?
It couldn't possibly be that people preferentially choose cars with certain performance characteristics; rather than choosing exclusively based on some kind of greenwashed idealism? Or that automakers cater to consumer demand?
This is the exact line of reasoning that would see fast food restaurants serving broccoli rather than burgers and fries because.. idealism.
when pure EV's are ready for mass consumption, people will buy them.. and not a moment sooner.
or maybe it's not made to be taken as literally true, but instead used as an instrument to display his utter displeasure at the concept of his person being violated in reality, the way his privacy is violated on the internet? =/
Not sure how true this is, but I've heard In the 50's and 60's, cars had those biiig steering wheels on a center spoke, and in the days where 'seat belt' meant 'lap belt', in a front end collision, that's exactly what would happen; the driver could easily be impaled on that center spoke, even in a low speed crash.
(my only frame of reference here was a 1966 merc comet that I drove in highschool, and that steering wheel seemed like a death trap.)

Designed by Italians, not Germans my friend. Inefficiency is a bonus.
I mean the actions of Skynet prove that machines are just about as paranoid as humans. check mate friendo.

How do you know I'm not posting while driving a car? I'm all about multitasking.
Then you get labeled as a pedo, or more likely a terrorist -- and then it doesn't really matter if they convict you of anything, your life is over.
Prior to the leather being installed, they don't care; afterwards -- they care even less.
they try to sell lumias and surfaces, but never has one been seen in the wild.

yeah, i'm not sure what i'll do when my kindle-DX finally dies.
has buttons, AND a proper sized screen.

a few engineers at GM just perked their ears up at that comment.

was thinking more like 'Schindler's List'
Your post made me think of Oppenheimer for some reason....
This is obviously a solved problem guys: trench-coat, and a scabbard on your back.
Granted you're pretty likely to knock your fedora off when you 'draw steel', but whatever, occupational hazard of having a power level that high.
