better yet, simply tax the income from "post-deadline" copyrights works at some increased rate. And make the law simple enough so that they can't get out of it through some loophole.
> I actually went to an Apple store and tried an iPhone out, for about an hour.... checked out how it automatically switches from EDGE to WIFI and back to EDGE whenever you come within range of a WIFI access point
Soo... even assuming that you were given an iPhone that wasn't tethered - how large was the store so that you could go in and out of WiFi range? Sounds fishy.
Would love to see more links. I am getting a new HD TV and would like to get something expandable that can play movies/music/etc. I was thinking about Mac Mini, but it doesn't look like they're going to update it (to better processor and HDMI) any time soon. I wonder what alternatives people think there are.
>go with HP, Lenovo, Gateway, Apple, Penguin Computer Out of those you've listed, only Penguin Computer actually sells servers with Linux - and it's a small company with a limited range of products (e.g. no Core2 Duo, only Xeon machines, etc.). I am facing the same issue as the original poster right now, and would be interested in real suggestions for a high-volume company that can sell you linux workstations relatively cheap (as Dell and such do).
>You people make me sick. Get over your loss and move on. Or better yet, get the hell out. I assume by "moving on" you mean forsake accountability and accept purposeful wrongdoings as proper? What makes me sick is that there are people like you urging others to "move on" while our soldiers are dying for these same mistakes almost every day. War is a grave burden, and a wrongful war is a truly horrible one. As far as I am concerned whoever pushed their own agenda to start this war should go to jail.
Keystroke patterns is a well-established method for intrusion detection. In fact it predates computers, as in the old days of Morse code an operator would typically have a recognizable signature.
You will get arrested if you don't have a permit. It's a great excuse authorities anywhere can leverage. Remember "freedom cage" - a designated protest zone at last GOP convention? Guess what happened when you tried to gather outside of the designated zone?
Well, my eyes roll when someone starts foaming at the mouth about blogosphere revolution and such. I am with you, but unfortunately it looks like it's here to stay. Part of the problem is that technology finally got easy enough to be actively used by the mouth-foaming types - hence all the hype. Another issue is that we didn't come up with a better name initially. There was homepage, for instance, but that's a bit different and takes longer to pronounce.
The main difference is that traditional breeding and selection techniques are generally contained within the scope of genotypes that are already present in maize, while genetic engineering can do very extreme things that would never happen otherwise. For instance, one can insert genes from mammals or other higher organisms into maize. This type of "lateral transfer" has practically no chance of ever occurring through any breeding/selection/mutagenesis. So the effects on the phenotype can be much more severe, and not just accelerated in pace.
Not to mention that speed limit would be much better enforced by cameras that would ticket everyone, and not just a select few that police felt like bringing over, leaving 90% of other cars on the road going over the speed limit. And people would take speed limits seriously for a change. And the limits would have to be brought up from 55mph to something sane for a change.
I wish someone did a study as to what fraction of cars on average major US highway are actually going under the speed limit when there's no traffic. I would be very surprised if it was over 20%. Doesn't this mean that police is doing a simply horrible job?
And as for speeding police cars - I see this all the time. No lights flashing, nothing - just speeding. It's simply routine. Sometimes escorting "officials" in that way too. All this just adds to the insult - I don't why everyone is happy with the status quo. This is something most of Americans have to deal with on a daily basis.
p.s. I actually respect US police for the most part, but the way speed on the highways is enforced is simply ludicrous.
I usually sympathetic to the judges that are bound by the letter of the law, but quotes from the judges opinion in this case left me fuming:
"Wolf speculated that Amber and Jeremy could have ended up selling the photos to child pornographers ("one motive for revealing the photos is profit") or showing the images to their friends. He claimed that Amber had neither the "foresight or maturity" to make a reasonable estimation of the risks on her own."
They could've ended up selling photos ? Well for that matter this judge could've ended up buying them! Since when have we started punishing people for things they could potentially do (but clearly have not attempted to)?
Or how about lacking "maturity" - the whole case is built on the fact that they are minors... how hypocritical it is to punish them for lack of maturity!
While it's true that emergency rooms will provide necessary aid to you regardless of your ability to pay, they'll also bill you for the services afterwards. So the "secret" system you're talking about only helps you if you don't have any assets (i.e. broke).
Yes, Moores' law didn't account for dupe postings. If we could just post this news a few more times today we could jump decades ahead in terms of transistor density! Keep up the pace dear editors:)
It doesn't "fire" anything - it illuminates the missile warhead with high-intensity infra-red beams to oversaturate its sensors, so that the missile looses tracking. So the worst thing that could happen is that you could illuminate some schmucks' face, but (according to TFA) the laser intensity is not high enough to cause eye damage.
>There's some difficulty in some circumstances, but a green on red colour screen on a voting machine would almost certainly be readable. They'll use high-contrast hues.
Green on Red with high contrast hues?! It may be readable by 4% of men, but 90% should get a splitting headache, and the remaining 6% will most likely end up having seizures.
If the technology develops, one could shoot the projectile with speeds above escape velocity and use the moon gravity to modify the orbit in the way needed.
I agree. I don't see how anyone can complain about not being the top hit for some general term (even if it's java.sun.com for "java"). If you don't think the results are relevant - submit a more specific query. And I guess for general terms one can show a few hand-curated links on the top... and I think google already does something like that.
Most of the time I ended up on it when searching for hints on a particular problem. People just go to hang out on slashdot, but I imagine many people, like me, end up reading and posting on javalobby only in a context of a specific question.

here's an obligatory feedback on the seat you're suggesting :)

A comparison of telecom contributions to presidential candidates shows the same picture.
Current situation aside, I am jealous of how precise and effortless his graphics looks. Guy definitely has talent.

It's clear from this picture that it works by leaving neat patterns of dust trails for guidance purposes :)

For starters someone should update his Wikipedia to reflect this "incident" (it's protected for new and unregistered users).
