Maybe it's just me, but "attack against weak passwords" seems like a perfectly cromulent use of the word 'hack'. In the "gain unauthorized access to a computer system" sense, anyway.
Gosh, how awful of Microsoft to let their research labs get on with research, rather than constantly cramming corporate identity branding down their throats.
What an odd thing to say. It's not any more or less ambiguous than almost any other language.
You do, however, need to apply a modicum of effort to make sure that whatever word slop you just barfed on the page is readable to others. Slashdot "editors" notoriously refuse to do so, though.
Pretty damn impressive, but then again, that thing apparently can only record 6 frames at a time, making the whole article misleading to the point of being complete bullshit.
This mission will put a new spotlight on Pluto and its âoedwarf planetâ status, potentially highlighting its current classification as a woefully inadequate description of such a dynamic and interesting binary system.
Ok, so it's a "binary dwarf planet" - can we tone down the prose now?
The headlines seems needlessly sensationalist (I know, shocking!) since apparently we're saying that photons don't always travel at the speed of light, not that the speed of light needs to be "corrected".
Why can't "cool new thing X" ever be discussed on its own merits, without insanely hyperbolic comparisons to "sci-fi trope Y" that it's entirely different from?

You couldn't get Bobert Ballard?

99% of people who depend on Node.js don't give a flying fart about what pronouns are used in COMMENTS in the library
Apparently Ben Noordhuis does.
And it's not the first time they've blown up rockets rather than shooting them into space.
To be fair, the mechanics of the two things can be very similar.
Just what it says, I imagine - your app sucks.
"We haven't finished inventing it yet, but when we do, it'll be awesome."
XKCD seems to be pretty spot on here.
And it's fucking annoying!
Gosh, how awful of Microsoft to let their research labs get on with research, rather than constantly cramming corporate identity branding down their throats.
Truly evil.
Out of curiosity, what would you use an "HTC Sync Manager" for?
I have an M7, and I've never heard of such a thing.
English is a naturally ambiguous language

Yup, I'm getting 0.06813 mm per frame.

Tim Choate who played my favorite character, Zathras
Don't forget he also played my favorite character: Zathras.
Just... fuck you.
That's what 'arbitrary' means.

Planet and Dwarf Planet are arbitrary labels defined by the IAU.
How can you "debate" about that?
That's all well and good, but it's still just talking about whether the Higgs field/boson imparts mass, not how.
According to WolframAlpha:
1.903 x 10^28

That is the stupidest thing I've read today.

Will the output be limited to a single number?
I hadn't heard of Calibre either, before I googled for a way to get non-Amazon content on the Kindle.
Sure, ePub support would be great. The current situation is mildly annoying, but not something that keeps me up at night.

"3D printer - it's a Replicator!"
"VR headset - Holodeck!"
"Shitty voice input - Artificial Intelligence!"
It gets pretty silly.
You mean driven the price of "legitimately worth $350" headphones to $500?
Have you seen the Denon line post-AHD2000? I attribute that abomination entirely to the "Us too! Let's be Beats!!!" syndrome.
Beats owns the "high-end fashion accessory" segment of a technology-oriented market - seems like a perfect fit with Apple.
They're making money hand-over-fist (I assume?) selling shitty headphones at silly prices, why should it mean anything more than that to Apple?
No one expects you to take anything as fact.
Those numbers do, on the other hand, sound plausible for a project of that type and size. Including the breakdown between different languages.
Whereas the 500m number is absurd on its face. You're not expected to take away more than that.
