"Singapore Will Add Iris Scans As Identifier For Citizens And Permanent Residents"

Maybe you mean elliptical orbits. You can't get an egg shape (one end wider than the other) without coniuing to use thrust
Please remember that this 'summary' was written for slashdot users, many of whom don't know the difference between "apogee" and "perigee", let alone anything having to do with physics, orbits, thrust, reaction mass, or any other technically-oriented subject. Even referring to it as "egg-shaped" will baffle many of them.
They're too busy parroting shit about why PHP is so horrible while coding their new Flappy Bird app in Visual Basic and forgetting to sanitize their inputs, in between bouts of throwing racial slurs they got off of Breitbart and FOX News.
I've never received a single dollar from the government.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...you've never received any benefit, except for stuff like a standing army, the FDA, the EPA, clean, drinkable water coming from every faucet, 24-hour emergency rooms, fully-staffed hospitals waiting to give you life-saving care, fire departments, child-abuse investigators, controls on what toxic chemicals can be poured into your drinking water, a national highway system, social services, drug treatment centers, Medicaid and Medicare, Social Security, community colleges, public schools, water and sewer systems, parks and recreation services, food inspection, electrical utilities, gas service, a National School Lunch Program, Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, foster care services, School Breakfast Programs, State Children's Insurance Programs, Unemployment insurance, Worker's Comp, Senior Community Service Employment Programs, street lights, mass transit, zoning, planning, building permits and inspection, housing and development programs, road maintenance, the State Board of Health, building inspections, building and fire codes, disaster relief, FEMA, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, the FBI, flood mitigation, pollution inspections, drug treatment centers, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), the Library of Congress, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and on and on and on.
Aside from all that stuff and more, you've never received a single dollar from the government!
Nothing ever changes. Nothing ever gets better.
Yeah, none of that stuff makes anything better. You fucking hypocrite.
Did you actually look at how much stuff is IN those things?
Yep, it's some amazing engineering but we all know that they could have made the battery assembly removable so the batteries could be replaced.
A simple bit of screw threading or some clever twist-n-turn lock would make that possible...but we can't have that, now can we? Letting people or a repair shop replace the batteries wouldn't be courageous.
"It turns out the $159 AirPods Bluetooth earphones are selling well, or so CEO Tim Cook would have us believed."
I didn't believed it then and I don't believed it now.
Editing faux pas aside, the only thing they've been a "success" at is 1) making Apple mo' money and 2) locking users into ever-more-expensive gadgets that cannot be repaired.
iFixit gives the Apple AirPods a '0' out of 10 on the repairability scale, also known as the "worst possible score achievable". In other words, they can't be repaired, period. It appears that even Apple can't repair them, which is kind of amazing when you consider that they're the ones who built the fucking things.
AirPods make iPads look positively consumer-friendly in terms of service, and we all know what a total shit show it is to open an iPad....
I know a reasonable number of women well, and have been married to two. The first was the biggest mistake of my life, and didn't conform to your description.
Same here. The unfortunate reality is that there are many ways for a marriage to fail.
Regardless, I believe that what I said initially is accurate, and judging by the moderation (4, Insightful) apparently many men here feel the same way.
Yeah, I'm sick of the losers who are busy chasing the new shiny and don't say a word when someone finds a vulnerability in their super special language.
The party line is something like this: Naturally it's totally impossible to write insecure code in any other language, and no other language (or library for any other language) has ever had an exploitable bug, ever. It's all PHP's fault, of course!
All I can say is that PHP (the LAMP stack, really) has made me a boatload of money over the years. Yes, it has bugs, just like every other language in the entire world. Most of the web runs on PHP, but the haters won't ever let that little fact get in the way of their language-elitism.
Wikipedia is held hostage by abusive admins like Closedmouth and Bsadowski1. Also there are the twinkle using minions like Sro23 and Chrissymad who revert editors.
This is exactly the kind of thing that drove me away from adding and editing pages. Not these guys specifically, but people just like them. They're basically griefers who orbit Wikipedia day and night looking for the opportunity to fuck with people, wreck their work, or just act like authoritarian assholes.
After a few utterly pointless go-arounds with them and their power-mad dick-waving, I just gave up. Life is too short to waste screwing around with people like them.
This is exactly how the videotape rental market worked.
Not exactly...the videotape could only be rented to one person at a time. That's the key thing here, I believe. The DVD data can be streamed to as many customers as needed. There's no limit unlike with a physical tape.
Although I think what VideoAngel has done is creative (and probably useful) I'm not sure they'll win in court. I kind of hope they do, even though I think what they're doing does violate copyright. There are a number of arguments why what they're doing could be legal, but also more than a few against it.
If they were to buy a copy for each streamed client (or at least the same number as are currently streaming it) then I'd say they were within the law, but my guess is they buy one copy and resell the stream to multiple clients simultaneously, and that's where things get sticky. You can't do that with a videotape so the lawyers for Disney or whoever may well have a valid case.
God where do you get your women from?? I have been together with mine for 20 years, she has a (very) good job, both of us take care of the kids and all is happy and well. They are not all like that
I said they're not all like that, or do my statements "many, many American/Western women" and "most American/Western women" sound like "all American/Western women" to you?
Yours is the exception that proves the rule. Look at the divorce rate and tell me I'm wrong.
In any case, I'm glad you found someone good and I hope you have another 20 years of happiness.

"The high-resolution Earth-observing platforms..."
In other words, "spy satellites specifically built for tracking people".
Close to 45% of US citizens do not pay federal or state income taxes.
You mean citizens like Donald Trump?
Close to 45% of US citizens do not pay federal or state income taxes.
Because most of those people don't work. They're retired, they're students, they're disabled, they're infants, etc.
But hey, don't let any fucking FACTS get in the way of your "everyone but me is a free loader" rant!

you think there is no malware in official google store?
There you go: https://play.google.com/store/...
4.5 stars :DDD 161,829 positive reviews :)
Yeah, but it says it's "A professional & powerful optimize tool ever for free on market". I can't imagine they would lie about that.
There are criminals inside of my walled garden? Preposterous!
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
Are you asking if water is wet? Because the answer is yes.
It was more of a rhetorical question, but yeah.
I love how PCs without the pre-installed shitware are marketed by Lenovo as "clean, fast and protected".
What does that tell you about the PCs that don't come with the Signature Edition of Windows? Does that mean they're "dirty, slow, and vulnerable"?

Your statements remind me of FFmpeg.
I must have missed that scuffle. (??) Was it an edit-war or a revision-war?
Divorce rates are falling, actually, so it would seem that more people are happy in their marriages.
There could be quite a few reasons for this besides the notion that "more people are happy in their marriages".
-
I don't personally know any woman like the ones you describe.
Then you must not know any women. Seriously, you must not know a single one.
-
I don't know where you meet women, but you really really need to look elsewhere.
Thanks for the advice but I already found mine. We're going on 10 years together and 8+ years happily married. :)
Seriously, the "courageous" meme is already super old. Try and be original.
Seriously, telling people that memes are "already super old" is super old. Try and be creative (since you can't be original).
PS- all your memes are belong to us.

Adulthood starts when a nap changes from something you don't want to do into something you do want to do.
Serious question: besides playing DOS games, is FreeDOS used for anything like industrial controls or embedded OS' or other stuff?

I'm sure the NSA/CIA/FBI would agree wholeheartedly.
