Steveo was all happy and proud that it has a "full version of safari" on it. I'm assuming then it has java, and since it is os x based might have java web start so apps indeed could be installed. The java app could even be programmed to launch an installer of some sort.
Of course, this all assumes that the phone will run the browser as a user that has install permissions, which they very well may not do. Some clever person I'm sure will figure out a way to get a boot loader of some kind installed, then all bets are off.
But Superman did it! We just need to hire Superman to take all the stuff into space and hurl it at the sun! Hollywood keeps coming up with ideas to save our lives:)
if only the vertical resolution is doubled to 2160, then the PS4 would (in theory) be able to drive it if it can support 2 1080p displays. If the horizontal resolution was also doubled, to 3920, the number of pixels would increase by 4x, not 2x. It would require much more processing than simply driving 2 displays.
I work at a company that has a lot of windows servers. If they can get Remote Desktop to work on this (there is a client MS released for OSX, but it is slow as shit) then I guarantee every admin at my company will be trying to expense this thing. We've already got a lot of people in our company using Macbook Pros running parallels, this would make Apple even more workplace friendly.
I have a site that uses an input type=image element. I just tested in IE7, and it works fine. Perhaps there is some specific onclick method that isn't being called on some sites? I don't know, but it certainly isn't completely broken.
I could be wrong, but I think I remember a setting in Firefox's about:config page that allows you to enable sites to access the clipboard. This may have been removed, but I think it was in there at least in FF 1.0. There is still something called clipboard.autocopy in there in FF 2.0.0.1, I don't recall if this is the same setting.
No, I have trouble accepting news that I know is completely incorrect. I can easily accept news that I know is factually accurate. It is that brain thing that allows me to determine truthfulness based on facts, not retarded FUD spinning "journalists". This makes me a fanboy how, exactly? Grow some testes and don't post as AC if you're going to insult someone.
Was this a Microsoft sponsored article? They have no proof, but they claim huge delays. I really find it hard to believe because Mario and Metroid are already in somewhat (if not totally) playable states right now.
Since the wavelengths of light are all refracted differently, I don't think this would make a very good cloak. By the time the light reached someone's eyes, the colors would look funky. It would be like looking at the light coming out of a prism, I'd think. When they come out with a medium that refracts light equally among all wavelengths (or at the very least across all the visible spectrum), then it could be used for cloaking.
On the other hand, I can see how this could be used for optic hardware, as the light sensors can be positioned in such a way to negate the unbalanced refraction, or a computer could be used to digitally correct the resulting image. It has been a while since I studied optics, so I may be way off:)
We don't allow blind people to drive cars, either, but no one thinks this is prejudiced or an erosion of human rights.
Oh, clearly it is. I'm going to propose to the texas government that we allow the blind to drive, but only with a sighted person steering and working the pedals. They'll tell the blind person when to shift gears though, so they can be an "active participant" in the driving experience. Hunting done via someone else aiming and telling you when to pull the trigger isn't any more involved than that. We could also let a blind person play quarterback, but the running back will have to aim his arm and tell him when and how far to throw the ball.
People can become sex offenders for a wide variety of reasons
This is very true. Some states you can get put on the SO registry for simply getting caught peeing in some bushes behind a bar after doing some drinking. That person clearly isn't a threat to anyone, and isn't likely to hurt anyone, but would be on the SO lists never-the-less. This usually causes them to be treated as outcasts and in some cases can be beaten by people who don't care about the details, just know they are a sex offender. Some of these laws are getting way out of hand.
It is still way better than the current shared video memory cards which still access the main system RAM but have to do so through the PCI-E X16 interface. Having it on the CPU would be WAY faster.
Dead on. Think of the power savings for laptops, not needing to have to use energy to drive a pci-e slot with a graphic chip that only gets replaced when the laptop does. It would also allow for really slick interfaces on smaller devices, such as tablets, pdas, etc. It would also have one hell of a bandwidth rate to the processor, including full speed access to the computer's RAM. I don't think they'd give it dedicated memory die to die size, but it sure would beat going over a pci-e bus like today's shared memory integrated chipsets.
I also have installed on many machines, and did not experience this behavior. It didn't change any of my previous settings. On first run, it asked if I wanted to make it my default (which i said no to, for the same reasons you listed), then asked if I wanted to import any IE bookmarks. I am not sure why you are getting this behavior. Did anyone else get what the parent experienced?
Personally, I am not that sure I'd want anything with nuclear fuel (such as some satellites have these days) being accelerated to mach 23 on or near land, let alone trusting the casing to withstand 2000g. Is this a solution looking for a problem? I also wonder how much energy it would use to do such a thing compared to the energy expended launching the payload using a conventional solid/liquid fuel rocket.
Now all we need to do is fill in the missing pieces of the DNA with frog DNA to make them sterile and we can have an amusement park! It worked well in the movies. Wait, how did that end? I suggest we send Bush, Britany Spears, K-Fed and Nancy Grace to open the park;)

Gentleman, prepare this man for vaginal sand extraction. Seriously, does it itch?
This could be fun to put out fake terror warnings on billboards to get people to drive faster :)

Come on, this is slashdot. For people here, even at random it would still only call mommy.
Only here could a post like that be modded insightful.

No, this one is a copy someone left on a flash card sold on ebay.
Are you new here? Why give out for free when you can horde and use it for power and influence.

It takes a lot of skill, and years to learn: where and when the animals gather, how to sit quietly and patiently, how to observe.
And this is something that someone without sight can do?
So it sounds silly at first blush, but the blind can be active participants in a hunt.
If someone is aiming for them, telling them when to fire, how are they really an active participant? That sounds pretty passive to me.

Err... it's called humor. Understand my point yet? I'll spell it out: Your point was as rediculous as his comment.
