"the current flows only when the vehicle is moving at speeds greater than 60 km/h"
Push starts just got a whole lot more desperate. Aad/or funnier looking to watch.
Wait, nobody these days knows what push starts were. Only people of a certain age will mod this one.
Seems like most of the replies here suggest that users don't really want it. Maybe Slashdot users dont want it, but seems to me another reason is that sites don't want it
If the purpose of a login was to confirm my identity, more sites would make this easier. The purpose of a login is to shackle you to a site. This is why even if you see a "Login with Twitter" "Login with Facebook" button and try to use it, you're immediately required to "link" your Twitter or FB account to the "app" of that site. They don't give a damn what your identity is, they need more than just a confirmation of that, they need your permission to make you part of their social media reach.
Now, there are ways to make this all happen with a good SSO, of course, but that's technically harder to implement, and there will often be some "business requirement" for some crucial piece of valuable personal info that happens to not provided in whatever SSO, and so the managers will push for a custom sign-on.
Facebook is getting close though. For better or for worse.
I agree. Also, I hate the color yellow. Why should I be subjected to the color yellow at the edge of the platform? I'd stay away from the edge even if it weren't yellow, thus having any yellow in the station is an unreasonable and unfair imposition on my rights. I am sure there are other people who would avoid the edge of the platform sans a yellow edge, thus validating my point.

If that's true then it should have been easy for Fairey to find some pubic domain image to use. If I take someone else's code for something I could have written but didn't feel like it, that's potentially bogus. If I then disavow any knowledge of the original coder until pressed,(as Fairey did) that's pretty dishonest. There existed a system where Fairey could have licensed the image if he wanted. He didn't bother. He didn't want to share any credit. If the original photograph contributed nothing at all to the final piece, then it never needed to be used in the first place. It's clear to me that *something* of the original photo remains in the final piece -- and as such the original photographer deserves *something* for it. Be it credit, a fee or whatever.
>>Yes, the photograph is copyright, but the content - Obama looking up in a button down shirt and a tie - is so generic as to be reduced to almost "factual" information when translated into the poster.
If that's truly the case, then why would Fairey have needed to use the photo at all? If it is generic, why did he use it? Why wouldn't he use his magic artist skillz to create some equally lifelike pose without anyone else's photo? I understand the majority of Slashdot doesn't view photography as a creative art with any intrinsic value. But, if the photo has no value then don't use it. If the original photo adds nothing at all to the "essence" of the final work then Fairey shouldn't have needed it in the first place.
I picked up the same thing on my instruments.. it was just a video clip of Hitler introducing the 1936 Olympics... that's all. Nothing to see here. Move along.
I don't think strategy guides have affected the games as much as they have affected the *included documentation*. Back in the day, you could be The Mack on your block just by reading the booklet - since 80% of your opponents never did. Docs now reflect the fact that few eyeballs ever fall on them are are much less detailed. There were very basic instructions in the Madden 06 Strategy Guide that just weren't in the included booklet.

Get one night of 160kbps nonDRM MP3 downloads for 3 Euros... i can't believe more people don't use this. I guess their english is poor and the purchase plans are complicated.. but it's a great deal.
Yes.. it's so sneaky in fact that Robertson explicitly stated this as the point of the exercise in his communication. Hence the stats on "white-box" PCs. Most people seemed to miss this aspect of the article.
MR sez: "Computer manufacturers will save billions by purchasing Seagate drives with LindowsOS, because it removes the need to purchase a $100 license for every computer they sell. 55% of the computers sold today are "white boxes," meaning they don't carry a brand name. The white boxes are typically assembled by small to medium-sized companies. These companies can now use LindowsHD and avoid entering into expensive licensing agreements with software companies. All the money they save as a result, they can pass along to their customers in the form of cheaper desktop computers."
The article doesn't mention DRM because there isn't any to speak of. The device shows up as a drive letter and any MP3 or WMA in the music folder is seen by the player. It doesn't even ship with any special software aside from a voice file converter and an icon editor... pretty decent.
I find that extreme behavior or unpopular behavior hurts causes. Instead of boycotting, protesting, and destroying - why not work to solve the problem
Boston Tea Party? American Revolution? Extreme examples I guess...
Instead of boycotting, protesting, and destroying - why not work to solve the problem. Opposed to sweat shops making shoes? Start a shoe shop and make better shoes. Tired of companies that pollute? Start a "clean" business, or a business helping them *not* pollute.
Unfortunately, the reason these companies engage in bad behavior is because it gives them economic advantage. How would you compete against that economic advantage? By exposing their behavior to a consumer group that hopefully cares somewhere deep down -- and how do you do that? It ain't press releases... it's ground-level marketing tactics, including "subvertising" which is what I think you mean by "grafitti".
The problem is that products are not competing on merit, they are competing on marketing. And the unscrupulous producers of thse products use deceptive marketing (advertising). How do you expose this without visible activism?
The article mostly talks about Microsoft trying to improve their DRM so that other companies can use it in their services... not about MS coming up with a service themselves.
I believe MS'd like a consumer service for MSN, and I think it may actually be in the work, but the article doesn't really address it. MS either views the back-end b2b type DRM-provider stuff as more important at this stage or is under a lot of secrecy.

I'm off to go shoot pheasants with Hugo Drax. I've a feeling he may be involved.

Agreed. I feel the same way about auto-focus.

"you could synchronize cars so they run at the same speed instead of harmonica-ing all the time (prevents traffic jams), etc."
Perhaps my accordion will change your tune. How does traffic harmonica?
So, a tool to remove "unwanted features" draws 50,000 pageviews of people asking for new features.
That's just wrong.
I always believe single-sided accounts from the fired party to be 100% accurate. I am sure no details were left out.
"Lost Prevention"? I am sure he was very diligent.

Two reviews does not make a consensus. Checking Metacritic suggests that response to the game have been more favorable than the submitter suggests.

I have 05 and and 06 for xbox and I think 06 is a worthy step forward from 05. But, that's just one opinion.
The bigger question is: Is this the least relevant accepted Slashdot submission ever?
