3-digit UID speaks the truth. Microsoft doesn't have "partners", they have marks, victims and rivals. If they put their arm round your back, its only because they have a knife in it.
the basic technology of DRM is neither good nor bad
Sure, if you call it something risible like Digital Rights Management. If you give it an honest name like Disney Rape Mechanism though, suddenly it's not looking so usage-agnostic.
Hey, Star Fleet Battles (old school shout out) was printed with ring-binder holes for easy re-arrangement when they completed and corrected it, and they once published errata for an addenda.
Suuuure he was operating within "the law". And all those wise guys who owned speakeasies during prohibition? They were just shocked - shocked!, I tells ya - to learn that the barkeeps had been serving alcohol without their knowledge or consent.
Perhaps the laws need a-changing, but until they are a-changed, the eye rolling protestations of innocence are pretty risible to any objective observer.
Oh, another timothy dupe? Rob Malda appointee, right? Note: hiring idiots based on having chugged brewskis with them at college doesn't tend to work out well, either for banks or Slashdot.
The wife, bless her, gets low 30mpg (Royal miles to the Greenwich gallon) from our Zafira. I can get it into the 40s on the same roads just by being all round awesome and penisey.
Speaking of which, any government that was serious about increasing economy would mandate an instant, trip and "high score" MPG counter that's always displayed. We all like gaming, right?
And if you ride a decent full suspension MTB, anywhere but potholes, it quickly becomes a chore because of all the energy you're losing pumping into the springs and those fat tyres. Yes, I've tried it.
Look, I pedal to work on the few days a year when it seems likely that I won't arrive drenched in either rain, sweat or blood, but let's not pretend that it's a realistic transport panacea.
We have different definitions of "easily". It's an interesting video, but it shows is being used under absolutely ideal conditions: flat, few junctions (and I didn't see any indicators or hand signals), light and amazingly polite traffic, few stop-starts.
Note at 9:00 a Honda CBF125 disappearing into the distance, getting in excess of 100mpg as it does so, and not riding in the Door Zone. With lights, indicators, better brakes, better visibility, more ability to filter through traffic (without pavement hopping like at 15:25), and the rider won't arrive at his destination sweating like a politician being forced to give a yes/no answer. Oh, and it costs less than the recumbant.
Bingo. And there is a shower at my workplace. One shower. For, what, 100 people? How many of us can commute by bicycle without making the place smell like a a Turkish flophouse?
Pedalling is a great means of transport for filthy hippies. Literally.
And like the C5 - and the Segway - its few devotees will continue to claim that the problems will be dealt with by re-designing entire cities in order to facilitate their particular mode of transport. Meanwhile - oh, hang on, the doorbell just rang. It's Alyson Hannigan, she's decided to finally accept one of those 200 indecent propositions that I send her every day!
[cyclists] pedal so hard that they can't look around - they are too busy.
My motorcycle and I were once undertaken on a slippery wet roundabout by a furious pedalist who was absolutely determined not to lose momentum. Had I not been riding with due care and attention, I've have taken him out on the exit.
Dear bicyclists: road rules are there for your protection. Moralfaggotry does not protect you in the event of a collision.
Yes, let's re-create wave after wave of Chinese Needle Snakes. Did you remember to store the DNA of that special type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat?
Species go extinct because they're worthless and weak. We are not the planet's keeper.
based on the verbosity of what Apple is required to post
What they're required to post (as distinct from what they chose to add) is this:
On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronic (UK) Limited's Galaxy Tablet Computer, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple's registered design No. 0000181607-0001. A copy of the full judgment of the High court is available on the following link www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Patents/2012/1882.html.
Indeed, but a key critera of a notice is that it be noticeable. Tucking it away in teenyfont among the nobody-reads-us links at the bottom of the page is an unreasonable interpretation of the modified order: "uncluttered" is not the same as "obscured".
Apple asked for and were gifted a reasonable compromise, and chose to take advantage of it. A sanction that simply restores the original order is appropriate.
Hi. You clearly have no idea how vaccines work beyond what you've read in Watchtower, and I hope your daughter is taken into the care of people who aren't microcephalic zealots.
I'd like to fund an entirely solar and wind powered community.
By which I mean, build a town and surrounding farmland. Power it with nothing but solar and wind and whatever storage mechanism you can dream up, cost no object. Go hog wild.
Then power all of that off of renewables, and see if it's possible.
If it is, then calculate every Joule that they import, including the energy required to construct the place, and including the energy required to keep the people producing all those imports clothed, fed, housed and entertained.
And make Greentown export that energy from their, uh, "spare" capacity. Every single Joule of it.
Because I'm a civilised man, I'd suggest that we bail them out just before cannibalism sets in.
That reminds me, what's going to happen the next time to all those turbines and roof mounted panels then next time that Germany is hit with a really big storm?
Slashdot Mirror
It's only as stressful as you want to make it - many people "play" it like a screensaver.
The merits of the case in hand? That's what we're discussing. Your agenda is your concern.

I presume you're thanking us for the insurance premiums that paid to rebuild you after you tried to take a bend on your Harley at more than 20mph.
Charge for the errata and addenda.
Hey, Star Fleet Battles (old school shout out) was printed with ring-binder holes for easy re-arrangement when they completed and corrected it, and they once published errata for an addenda.
...then you probably shouldn't be commenting in a discussion with grown ups.

The "richer" in this plan are the American masses, also known as taxpayers.

That must be some pretty cheap internet connection you're using to tell us that.
