Could the military(s) just give them a few thousand (or whatever) £ (is that the correct symbol?) while they stay at home? And if they need the fish, drop off a few tons or so? I'm not be snarky- fisherman get some time off, get paid, towns get their fish, and the military(s) spend a small amount to keep their exercises clear.
From TFA- "There have been even reportedly been complaints about the impact on walkers in certain affected area, since many now use GPS devices both for navigation, position finding and for reporting the location of accidents. "
OK, if you're walking, how far away are you from some type of landmark? (Walking, not hiking or mountain climbing, mind you) You can't look at a map and say 3 blocks down Sherry St, make a right and go 4 blocks down Pub Ave.? Position finding- "I'm in Glasgow!" Accident location? "Hello Scottish 911? I'd like to report an accident at 55.858N 4.259W"
Yes, I get that boats and cars can have real issues, but if you can't walk around town without a GPS, you're either clueless, a hipster, or a man who never, ever asks for directions.
I get where you are coming from. One of my favorite posters when I was about 8 or so (1981) was a wall poster that had all of the more famous dinosaurs on it. (I think I still have it in storage somewhere) And as time went on that poster become increasingly incorrect, especially in naming, but also in the number of species. I also liked the Bronto, he was like the big dude on the block that just chilled all day hangin' out, eating some leaves, not bothering anyone.
Science, ruining my childhood posters, one step at a time. Even Pluto isn't a planet anymore!
and 70 degrees of icky and "get me the hell out of here, now!" This and that 'Natural Girl' sex robot (or whatever it's called) scares even Cthulhu. What if the 2 mated?! Throw in Skynet and you could have a freakish anime-head sex robot killing machine. I'm going to crawl into a corner and have very bad dreams.
From TFA "Newell expects Apple to disrupt the living room platform with a new product that will challenge consoles, although he doesn't have any particular knowledge of that new product."
So, "Hey, Apple may do something that may or may not be awesome and stuff." Then he goes off about Apple being a closed platform (XBox, PS3, & Wii aren't?), but doesn't even touch on the points that Apple has no creative partners or real console experience. Apple has no gaming leverage.
I don't see what his point it is, where he's driving at, or if he may actually know something that hasn't been rumored/leaked widestream yet. Let me start a rumor- Valve will soon be working with Apple to make something "that is awesome and stuff."
Make the lawyers fight it out in a cage filled with snakes, horny kangaroos, and drop bears. Last man/woman stand wins. It's the Aussie way. (don't get all ruffled Aussies, it's just a joke)
"One patent cited in the suit, U.S. Patent No. 6,956,562, simply refers to a method for using a touch screen to enter commands on a handheld computer."
Go read it, it is essentially a "stylus-free" input method on a tablet, i.e. fingers. I guess you could use your wang or toes if you wanted to, though, since it does not explicitly say "fingers," just non-stylus. (Though I would love to see someone write up a patent for "dong-centered system input.")
If any of the 9/11 "government/Jews/missiles did it" (did I miss anyone?) get a hold of this story, I can only imagine what stuff they'll think up. Could he have had help- dunno, I'm not a chemist. Is the government covering something up- I kind of doubt they are covering up their own "we helped him!", but maybe leaving some other parties out of the news (then and now). Or, as some others have already said, they got someone who looked good for it, and "case closed," time for a donut.
I'm all for looking into this more if warranted. At this point, I have zero trust in what any administration says. I just don't want to hear the ding-dongs going off about how Xenu and ancient Crab People did it.
Mother's Union. Christian charity review. Hey, and a whole new website for parents to complain about pretty damn well everything they find objectionable. The website will have no fewer than 8 oversight committees (WTF!).
And how many of these parents are not going to 'opt-in' to being able to view a little bit of porn now and then? And teens are smarter than you think, and will figure out how to 'opt-in' anyway.
I don't get it- parents' did this porn to get a kid, but what, are they still using the stork story to tell them how they showed up?
Ha ha. Since I can't tell if you missed it or not, or just joking, it the statement that "people won't need it." Whereas, people eventually always need it.

I guess the Galileo system is up yet? Heh.
What if the military did this?

Um, what are you going on about?
Well, the "Flying" part helps quite a bit. :)
And the Beer Volcano kept the T-Rexs (Rexes?) in a mild stupor at all times.

Astronaut and camera are optional. Swiss cheese would be appreciated.
Let's see the gov try and figure that one out.
Did it eat Martha?
Hosts were annoying, though.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. That makes more sense.
Cute, half of the "Zero" scores comes from things like-
"Does the browser process utilize Windows Protected Mode?"
Well, no, I'm running a Mac!
If you trying to pull a fast one, and least be clever about it.

Oh, yeah, patent troll, blah blah.
To start chewing through wires, causing power outages, starting fires, pooping in the mailbox, that kind of stuff.
Good luck with that, we can't even get /.ers to read TFAs most of the time.
Anyone else see a secondary agenda here?
