This is no more gambling than putting money into coin operating vending machine not knowing whether a gumball or a candy ring is going to come out is gambling.
Yes, I just have to follow you with a piece of tape and wait for you to touch anything. Or lets by honest here. If I have your phone, take it off the screen.
I know right, like you wear gloves and never touch anything. Your fingerprints are literally everywhere, all over every object withing feet from you. They are incredibly easy to get. I bet I can get them off the doorknob to your front door, or even your mailbox while you're at work.
Lavarand was a hardware random number generator designed by Silicon Graphics that worked by taking pictures of the patterns made by the floating material in lava lamps
That's one of the first statements he made in the video.
the most common contract is that they can sell their stock, but only on a 6-month schedule
Yes, and many companies also have auto-buys and auto-sells for senior executives. They have no choice. This is designed to put the fire under their ass. If your stock will auto sell 1 million shares after the earnings call, it best be a good quarter!;-)
Yes there is! They gave them during the presentation. They specifically discussed the error rate and compared it to the error rate of touch ID. Go watch the presentation. Don't take my word for it.
Not only has Apple already publicly addressed this (denied it), they would be insane to change the specs after they've already started selling pre-orders. That would open them to all kinds of consumer advocacy lawsuits.
Agreed. Most burial rituals were created for religious (another idea whose time has passed!) reasons. Christians don't want to cremate because they are worried there will be no body for god to raise at the end times. All cremation does is speed along the process, but people don't understand that.
Quit artificially limiting my access to media! Whether it's simply not making it available at all, or by forcing me to subscribe to 12 streaming services to get access to the content they are forcing the population back to piracy.
I realize that while there are some major douches out there who would pirate a movie if it cost only a dime, there are many of us who would happily pay if you stopped screwing us over.
He literally told everyone experiencing a real, flawed antenna design in their phones that *they* were holding it wrong.
Either you're using literally wrong, or you're just wrong. Either way, your statement is wrong. He never said those words, in that order or any other order. Literally or figuratively. I'm all about bashing Jobs for what he did wrong, but let's not make up stuff.
His exact words were if you were experiencing this problem and did not have a case on the phone was "Just avoid holding it in that way" while Apple looked to update the software.
This isn't much different that things that have already happened in computers. I mean we no longer write in assembler. We write in some higher level language and the computer writes the assembler for us.
We will just be the equivalent of a BA.... we give the computer the business requirements and then the computer will write the code. We're basically just going to remove the human's from the code creation portion of development.
I'd rather that the vendor provided the best mail app, the best calendar app, the best search engine, and so on, rather than the one where the provider paid them the most money.
Really? And who decides what is best? What criteria do they use? The best app is the one YOU think is the best. The only way for you to know that is to try them all. This doesn't have to be like religion where you pick the one in the country you were born in!
We're talking about sensors, not processors. Who's not using their brain today? GM said they can't do it with just cameras.... but that's exactly what humans do.
Yeah, it's just that simple. Just make big drones. Since it's that simple, that's probably why we've seen so many companies do it already.
Man! After 20 years the quality of the commenters here at/. really has dropped off. Is there anyone else here who actually works in any sort of a technological industry?! Sometimes I think not!
Moron. I didn't say it was simple. I asked for information on why it wasn't simple.
I haven't seen any good information on why drone technology can't simply be scaled up in size to carry passengers. Seems like we already have the technology to solve traffic and other problems. We just need to supersize it.
That's a really good point. Assuming we a simulated brains (rather than plugged into a matrix) then our software could simply be designed to remove and/or ignore what they don't want us to see or find. You could literally have an agent/bot/whatever five feet from you and it would be invisible.
The effect could be caused by the simulation. I'd wager it would be almost impossible to ever tell if you were in a simulation unless it had some bugs that were brought to light. However, much like the matrix, those bugs could be fixed and time rolled back. No one would be the wiser.
Everyday I come to this site, and everyday I think we'll talk about some exciting tech news. But all that's here is news about some dude recording video tapes in his basement and people being mad about beta software not working.
It's almost as if the editors aren't actually nerds.

Atoms that we see each a solar system in its own right.
There is only one Solar system. There are however numerous star systems. Just sayin’...

This article is high on hype and short on facts.
Original Christian belief was in bodily resurrection, not a spiritual one. So you'd need your body intact. Cremation was seen as something pagans did.
"So yeah, don't paint all Christians with the same brush."
If you believe in a skygod, then yeah... same brush... different color.
Slashdot should have been buried long ago as well.

No brain is required.
We're talking about sensors, not processors. Who's not using their brain today? GM said they can't do it with just cameras.... but that's exactly what humans do.
Then so can a computer. Just need the right computer and software behind the cameras.

Please, for the love of the gods, please let this stop being a profession.
Why? There are some very good science and learning channels out there that I would hate to see go.

Commander Adama in BSG had the solution to all of this! Pull the plug on the network connection!
That's what happens when you join a beta. The vendor learns things, fixes bugs, delays features, and makes changes.
I mean seriously. Not trying to be a troll. How is this news?
