The people who know better can fix their phones (most of you probably unlocked your phone already, or bought it unlocked from a third party). The people who don't, don't care anyway.
This campaign to stop even the consideration of Open XML in ISO/IEC JTC1 is a blatant attempt to use the standards process to limit choice in the marketplace for ulterior commercial motives - and without regard for the negative impact on consumer choice and technological innovation.
If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black, then I really don't know what is... I mean, come on! This is Microsoft!
There's no way you can lump 25 - 54 year-olds in the same "age group". And anyway, I think 25 to at least 30 year olds are more likely to be "always on" than not.
Among the reasons given: Apple's call to be rid of DRM (while continuing to use it in iTunes);
My understanding is that they are still using it because their deal with the record companies, who actually own the rights to the music, won't let them sell it without DRM. If some of the labels don't require DRM, then Apple should definitely not require it either, though.
Apple's perceived arrogance when they warned consumers not to upgrade to Vista, while not rushing to fix the problem themselves;
This is unfair... many other applications and devices don't work with Vista, either. And I say that Microsoft, as the provider of the OS, has at least a partial responsibility to ensure that stuff works with it. And anyway, according to this Apple website, fix will be coming up soon (and some limited subset of the iTunes functionality seems to be working anyway).
If you want to ensure students come to class, take attendance and make it part of the grade. Posting podcasts (or not) probably won't be as large a determining factor in whether students go to class as will the amount of beer or pot they consume 12 hours beforehand.
So if Intel provided hardware, chips, and tests themselves, isn't this more of a write-it-yourself press release from Intel than a real independent review?
I don't think so... the machines were still actually running the tests. Also, from TFA, only some of the tests were unfamiliar. It specifically says that there were some standard ones there.
If they provided "some unfamiliar tests" then that would seem to indicate Intel doesn't know what common and familiar tests should be run,
Common and familiar according to who? And it doesn't neccessarily indicate that they don't know what the tests are... it just means they didn't provide them (I could think of more than a few reasons they might do this).
or (more cynically) that they didn't want potentially bad or uncontrolled results polluting their positive reviews.
This also seems like a good possibility. We'll find out soon enough.
However, by the time the technology ships - if it proves real, and ever becomes more than a lab experiment - the software industry will have had several years focusing on multi-threaded apps, and it may not want to go back.
Hah, yeah right, we started parallel programming just this semester and already I want to kill myself. "May not want to go back"? I'd go back in a heartbeat!

The servers were not in the US. This has nothing to do with the 'current administration'.
an apparent update from the situation in March, from TFA:
"Since April, 11th 2005 the BlueZ protocol stack is qualified as a Bluetooth subsystem. Companies can now use this listing to qualify their adapters with Linux support."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this now render the issue moot? The reason the SIG was interested in taking the list down was because BlueZ wasn't qualified. Now it is (or rather, back in April it became) qualified, so what is the issue here?
The list still does not seem to be up, although I didn't look very hard for it. So is there something still blocking it?
What the previous poster means is that it is possible a software glitch would cause an android/robot/whatever to shoot him in the back. He estimates it is less likely that a fellow human soldier would do this. I agree.
yeah man, it's the corporations... they're like, taking over and stuff. if we could just like, get together, and show the corporations that we don't need their profit-mongering and extortion and capitalism, then that would show them!
Good point, I had wondered about that myself. I remember reading on Wikipedia that DVI is bandwidth limited, i.e. the refresh rate is inversely related to the number of pixels on the screen. I guess if you built one of those laptop panels to 19" it would have too many pixels to be able to refresh fast enough. I'm probably wrong on that but maybe someone else knows?
This monitor only supports 6 bpp, unlike your CRT and other LCDs that use the full 8. This means that the monitor cannot display 16.7m colors at one time. If you open up Photoshop or some other app that can display color gradients, you'll notice banding of the colors.
1. Get bent, my university (Univ of Texas at Austin) uses these clickers for physics and students hate them because profs use them to take attendance
2. You obviously have it good at your univ because the clickers they make us buy here cost around $70
3. The physics department has it so good here, they have this automated hw/exam system in place that dynamically generates problems using different numerical values for each student. They use it for hw and for exams, the profs never have to think of questions or worry about grading anything
4. Did I say get bent?
read them as comfortably as a book. remember that looking at black text on a white screen is like staring at a light bulb. it fucking sucks!
also, why even bother, paper books are so much more convenient, cost effective, long-lasting, and personal than an 'e-book'...
What kids are missing out on isn't other games; what they're missing out on is stuff like physical exercise, sports, and face to face interpersonal communications (i.e. real playtime with real people). Humans, and especially kids, are NOT meant to sit in a chair and stare at a computer all day long.
We use this at my university (University of Texas at Austin). It's been around for a few years, and it is most definitely not anonymous. Some professors (physics) use it for attendance, and that's about it. Students do NOT take to this, 99.9 students out of 100 hate it.
I've been reading and re-reading the article to found out how the LCD acts as an imagery medium. How does this work? When I think LCD, there is the side that faces you and has pretty pictures and whatnot, and there is the side that has a plastic casing on it. How/where does the light pass through?

Don't forget Earthlink, who actually no shit HAS broken the internet, at least for their subscribers

Both were overclocked; the more expensive one used some other components that were more expensive.
it probably means it can draw 2 - 2.5x more triangles or something similiar

Learn a real language, then come back and ask this question
yeah, right.

go read starship troopers, then tell me that having 'aggressive thoughts' is bad.

Clearly. I would rather the US control those points than someone frankly and overtly evil.
