Don't you think listening to it should be a first step?
There's a lot more information than just the voice recordings. They'll likely have a reasonable guess fairly quickly, but it takes time to piece together a clear picture of what happened.
It may turn out that the voice recordings don't reveal much at all. Often it's a bunch of routine chatter followed by sudden clipped brief exchanges while the pilots struggle to deal with whatever emergency has arisen.
IBM, and the countless "IBM Clone" Manufacturers sure as heck where not unified. IBM Won that War, because they did NOT try to use legislation to kill clones of their hardware
How did IBM win? They would certainly have liked to have killed the clones if they could. Compaq did a clean-room clone of the BIOS, and so were able to produce a completely compatible computer. IBM was not the least bit happy about it, but they had foolishly licensed MS-DOS non-exclusively. If IBM had it to do over again the clones would never have existed.
Clones were good for Microsoft, not IBM.
You are substituting "there is no prior implementation" for "it's not obvious."
Seems to me that his point 1, "Prove that the problem has been recognized for some time," coupled with "there is no prior implementation," is a reasonably strong argument for non-obviousness.
It's not a syntax error. A genuine syntax error would have saved you early. Instead it's a bug waiting to happen. And the only reason it's a bug is that javascript is so effed up. having Global be the default scope within a function is just plain crazy.
As has been touted many many many times by people on Slashdot whenever news organizations do it, there is no central authority, there is no registered list. So yes, while that clique may not have done it, does not mean another clique didn't.
By your own argument "Anonymous" cannot respond nor do anything else. Therefore Anonymous did not do it. If a group has no leader, no structure, no membership, and does not act in concert (or at least in the spirit of it) then it can hardly be called a group at all. All groups, even group friendships, have at the very least informal leaders and followers.
The iPad is already more powerful than the original XBox. In one or two more generations it will be more powerful than any existing console. It already has HDMI out. Add a wireless controller and you have an instant portable full gaming system.
And production companies don't have the enormous barrier to entry that the consoles do, so lots of high-quality indie games will emerge.
Consoles are already dead. They just don't yet know it.
buy a record label, and release (as far as contractually possible) the entire catalog under creative commons, the rest under $0.01/song downloads.
Who pays the songwriting and performance royalties? How do you calculate the amount? I think the way to really disrupt the recording industry would be to sell songs directly for ten or fifteen cents. That would enormously reduce pirating and help to topple the current out-dated structure.
There's nothing that defeats piracy like reasonable pricing. Nothing even comes close.
And I don't know where you are getting your statistics, but there are already a lot more Android OS phones in use than there are iOS phones.... get your facts straight!
There are other things that run IOS. I thought that would be clear by the context, but apparently not. There are many more IOS devices in use than there are Android. That's the same reason your bit about Windows vs. "MacOS" is not a valid analogy.
So I hope you see now that my facts were straight already.
One thing that your post has done is help me to understand why people are making this invalid comparison. But even when the day comes when there are more total android devices in use it still won't be particularly meaningful. If each manufacturer is offering essentially the same product they will have to find a way to differentiate their offering. And they will do it ways that cause even greater fragmentation of the Android market, not less.
And one day these manufacturers will wake up and realize they've painted themselves into a corner, with none of them making any significant profit. And there's even the possibility that Google will give up on Android. It's costing them a fortune, and if money gets tight they'll start looking for ways to cut costs. It doesn't have to end up that way, and it probably won't, but it certainly is a small possibility.
There's no single Android phone that sells anywhere even close to the number of iPhones. I don't understand this logic of lumping together all the different phones. It's like comparing sales of an OS to sales of a hardware device.
Comparing OS to OS (Android vs. IOS) then IOS is still much larger. And I'll bet that the majority of casual Android phone users came to their decision by thinking "I'm not going to get an iPhone, so what else is there?" And it turns out the "what else" is a ton of Android phones, so that's what they get.
For what it's worth I don't have an iPhone and probably never will. But I still don't understand this thinking.
Just goes to show you there's not much difference between the average slashdotter's understanding and that of the average "journalist" whose job it is to know the relevant facts.
A good interviewer quite often knows the answer to the question they are asking. That's how it's done. They are not asking it for their own benefit, it's part of the interview process. If he's out of patience he most certainly should avoid giving interviews.
Corporate BB users generally run their own servers, which are encrypted end-to-end and as far as I know are "secure", or at least not directly compromised by RIM.
So why not simply say that instead of walking off? That to me says it's a big issue and they don't have an answer.
Cisco still wins in the long run. As long as the Flip and the insane marketing hype surrounding it increased the popularity of HD video sharing on the web
Why does Cisco buying them have anything to do with that? The product was a huge hit before they bought it. Cisco owning it didn't add anything.
This is not a good way to conduct a business. It has the odor of panic to it, and it's a good way to drive away your best people. It's almost like a multi-level marketing scheme - "Sign up enough of your friends and relatives and you'll get a big bonus! Surely everyone knows at least ten people they can sign up! If you sign up ten and they each sign up ten and each of those signs up ten and it'll be coming in so fast you won't even have time count your money!"
And what's really bad is that even when Google eventually retracts the memo (which they are certain to do), they still can't "unsay" it. the taint of it will linger, and CVs are already getting dusted off.

Maybe it just means we're old. :-)

Perhaps not, but it certainly was intriguing.

It's a giant honking download. Maybe they simply wanted to keep a zillion people from downloading it just because they can.

I see that slashdot has added a new feature of simply omitting any link, presumably for the e-z convenience of not RTFA.

I tried one of those once. My money kept falling out.
It's not only orbit-locked, but it dances just as good as it wants. Now do the Titan Up.
Yes, just like "remote" was the cool word off-site, but has now become an accepted term.

Of course now they can no longer ban people, as no doubt posts will begin appearing with other people's account IDs.

Add a comma after the word "network."
So then why can't you?

Shouldn't that be something like this?
