Can anyone enlighten me as to why the term 'vector' is used in this context? It's an attack. There's no fixed point in space with a direction component.
The difference between native and html5 is decreasing over time.. css and javascript can do it, it's just that the frameworks and graphical assets have to be packaged in.. you get them free in native cocoa.
I disagree with this. A music track exists to sound good, so degradation of quality transitively degrades its' purpose. However, not every image on the web was designed to be an artistic masterpiece. For most use cases, smaller filesize for slight drop in quality is a reasonable tradeoff. You can still use PNG for the stuff that you want to render just a certain way; remember, most of us have monitors that inject their own "noise" into the color spectrum of the photos we're watching. Besides, this is all up to the guy (or gal) hosting the website. Since (presumably) it's their content, I think it's fair that they have the choice to choose the quality/compression level that both saves bandwidth costs and looks good.
You better be thankful this happened to such a massive evil megacorp that can actually afford reparations. Most of the offshore operations in the Gulf are managed and owned by much smaller companies that would just go belly up if this happened to them.
I'm obviously not a fan of BP -- clearly they've blown it big time (pun intended) -- but we should be grateful that this happened to a company with deep enough pockets to be around for the long term fix.
I also don't get the hangup with ping using POST. It's just a word that shows up in the HTTP dialog. According to HTTP spec, POST would make more sense for this, since you're essentially publishing tracking information to a site.
I find it sad how many people (especially younger ones) today think that "doing what's right" should be a free pass providing immunity against conflict. So many people these days don't understand that the temptation of immunity against conflict is exactly what drives most people into doing the wrong thing.
Sometimes I use longer emails to communicate more comprehensive thoughts that I don't get around to organizing until I write the email. The act of writing the email is what binds the thoughts together in my head. If I write a bad subject line, I'll be shoehorning all of the thoughts somewhere they should not have been going in the first place.
It doesn't sound like there was an agenda against the GPL itself, just the intention to release the code under a license that prevented bundling with Linux.
If we presume that the environment is ours to do with as we please, then aren't we as guilty of those who caused the destruction of the environment in the first place?

Based on my experiences with Open Source developers, I would not expect to find any firmware patches out there for an alarm clock (of all things).
Okay, but going to McDonalds is practically begging for a multitude of other health problems.

I think you have to be listening to Nine Inch Nails during the act, as well.
Wait till they bundle emacs with iTunes.... our heads will asplode.
As are Avatar and Dances with Wolves. Derp.
I don't see why they'd stop it. No one smokes cigarettes today because marijuana is illegal.

It's people like you that make me bother not even using the word irony anymore.
BP has allegedly set aside billions for claims.

Well, you install a plugin that will be able to remove ads from the DOM. Problem solved.
I think it would be a nice browser feature to disallow clicks or any other mouse/keyboard events on a canvas element to cause the browser to navigate.

Unless lots of people started believing false information about the government and its' military because they read it on Wikileaks.

I guess it's a difference in thought process.
Another pro tip -- write the email itself first, then the subject afterwards. Easier to summarize what you've already written.

I wouldn't say it is simple.. the complexity of the game doesn't lie in the 3d engine, though.
I won't ride in an airship that wasn't designed by Cid.
Can someone please explain watt the hell they're talking about?
Please turn in your geek card :)
I have seen both the first and second arguments used before, but never the third through five. Let me show you why your logic is wrong...
