The problem is, the deniers believe that even one error in a summary report means that the science is wrong,
On the other side of the coin, the AGW alarmists insist that the science is right no matter how many of the so-called "facts" turn out to be fabricated.
While the Deniers while keep to their so-called "facts" no matter how long ago they were proven to be wrong.
Consider for example how science treats dissenters such as Michael Behe. When a scientist points out valid problems in papers discussing evolution
Very very bad example. Behe *is* a creationist. His view of biology and creationism/evolution is faulty at the least and intentionally dishonest at worst. The Intelligent Design movement is a perfect example of what happens when there's plenty of backscrating going on and little if any actual peer review.
Wow, that sounds remarkably like the Denialosphere.
Two bugs were found in their image libraries (arbitrary code execution bugs in TIFF and RAW-DMG). Makes me wonder if they even tested their image libraries at all when they were being written, because that kind of bug can usually be found in an image library by feeding it random data.
Well, that's odd - one of those bugs is CVE-2009-2285: Buffer underflow in the LZWDecodeCompat function in libtiff 3.8.2
The pwn2own contest would say otherwise. Mac is usually the first to go down.
Because for pwn2own you need a zero-day exploit - how high are the chances to find a 0day for Windows and nobody else having it out in the wild until that one day in the year of pwn2own? OTOH, Charlie Miller was sitting on his last winner for over a year, and nobody else found that exploit during that year.
This isn't about the Apple tablet - this story is about an PR gimmick for Valleywag. They don't expect to get any entries - they expect to get page hits.
It is the only way to explain why there have been hundreds of iPhone articles and about one (1) about N900 which is a phone that kicks iPhone's butt in every possible way.
So does the N900 have MMS already? Considering that was the most quoted reason not to buy an iPhone, I can understand Slashdot for not posting anything about a phone that still can't do that.
"Although we usually use sophisticated tools to test touch screen accuracy, MOTO has also developed a simple technique anyone can use to evaluate the resolution and accuracy of a touchscreen device. "
And thus the "Sex Offender List" becomes a address book where people can get all the info they need about horny little brats who like to show off. Isn't moronic legislation^W^W technology great?
Gee, you still don't get it, do you? Okay, once more for the dimwits:
The other phonemakers: "Here, buy your smartphone-apps from whomever you like."
The consumers: "Nah."
Apple: "Here's a store where you can buy all available apps for your phone."
The consumers: "Yeah!"
mystikkman: "Stupid consumers! Stupid Apple! Everyone's stupid but me! Apple should be forced to be like everybody else!"
And for your Microsoft analogy: Windows sold well at the end of the 90s, because nobody ever was fired for buying IBM in the early 80s. So according to you, the iPhone is successful because everybody was buying Macs in the 90s. What are you, stu... - well, you already made that clear.
So your beef is actually that Apple decided that the way everybody else was doing it wasn't that good for the consumers - and that the consumers seem to agree, because they do indeed flock to the one shop to get apps.
Given that we are 2 days into 2010, I assume the i7 is in the development Macbook Pros at Apple that will be out this year - at the same time as Intel releases the low power versions of the i7 chip that would work better in a laptop computer than the ones that suck down 50W or more.
Or, judging by past offerings, some weeks before Intel releases those low-power chips to others.
As Stewart kneels down to get knighted:
The Queen: Are you offering yourself to us?
Steward: Offering myself...? That's it, I remember now! It wasn't enough that you knight me... I had to give myself freely to the United Kingdom. To you!
Queen: You flatter yourself! I've overseen the knighting of countless millions. You were no different!
and forever changed the way people buy and listen to music.
Really? Everyone was already downloading and listening to MP3s
See, and that is what Steve Jobs has done - he turned the meaning of "everyone" from "a moderate part of the computer geek community" to, well, "everyone". Somebody who was part of the old "everyone" may have a problem of recognizing that.

I am curious how and by whom you think actually discovered the flaw in the IPCC's claims.
Well actually anyone questioning these claims when first produced were called "crackpot" by the IPCC.
Care to back that up?

...that you know of.
That the judges of pwn2own know of. And nothing has appeared in the wild before or after - that the whole world knows of.
You most have missed all the reports on the virus spread through torrents for Photoshop CS4 and iLife.
Ans you"most" have missed that a Trojan isn't a Virus.

I wouldn't call 30 feet "from a distance".
Gee, you sound just like the people slammed as "Apple fanboys" 2 years ago, s/iPhone/N900/. Guess what that makes you.

But they aren't offering money for "talking about a commercial product before release" - if they did, we'd all be rich.
Because every other company has agreed to Nokia's terms.
And Apple wanted to agree to the same terms every other company agreed to - but suddenly Nokia wanted more.
No, I guess they didn't.
