Pee? You "sophisticated" multicellular organisms and your silly macrochemical tricks. We microorganisms have solved this problem a long time ago. It's called genes and they back themselves up indefinitely WHILE evolving too. Give me a strand of rna to read anytime over hipster pee.
They overcharge for transactions. Paypal's commission should be a flat 1% on all transactions. Not 3-4% + fixed charges. They have a horrid customer service with a "fuck you" attitude. They do not protect the sellers of services or electronic goods (redeemable coupons, product keys, etc.)
But the engineers who work there are very competent people. I have no technical complaints so rest easy on that front.
Pro-tip: Paypal doesn't care about you and you shouldn't care about them, much less defend them.
Again, your LCD display has an inherent delay of 40 - 80 ms as well.
Incorrect. Modern LCD display have delays of 20 ms or less, especially using game mode (minimal image processing). And they usually list 8ms or less latency on the box, which is a lie.
Compare medieval kings to lower middle class people of today and we find the kings did not have the amount of entertainment to choose from, the durable clothes, the variety of food available, the health care quality, perks like temperature control of their rooms, etc.
Those medieval kings could fuck shit tons of hot, young girls and could have the best cooks making them the tastiest treats. All organic.
Seriously, who gives a fuck about temperature control or durability of clothes when you can have yummy virgins warming up your old bones and a personal tailor making you clothes every day.
As an african third-worlder who welcomes the service, , I'd like to mitigate people's expectations. Shipping prices to Africa are prohibitively expensive and anyone with enough income to afford them knows someone overseas who can facilitate the same service and is part of the elite 1%.
In other words, this service is mainly for the rich and thus not doing much about the very real digital divide alluded to by the title.
I'm a computer scientist and I can vouch for this explanation. A lot of people don't realize the social challenges of being a disabled core and I hope that after reading this post, they will have a better understanding.
I love south park, watched every single episode I'd be honored to meet Matt and Trey, I don't feel offended at all by anything Muhammad-related they have done. Free speech is important.
I won't deny that there are some uncool, crazy or bloodthirsty people who call themselves muslims but they're a negligible percentage of the population.
I posit to you that declaring that "some" cultures have huge flaws is dangerous nonsense. I'm certain that ALL cultures have huge flaws that anyone in their right mind would hate.
The people responsible for this thrive on bossing other people around and generally imposing their will and being in control of their environment. Sometimes, they go overboard and do something crazy like this.
I surmise this came all the way from the top, from someone who makes a meaningful percentage on game sales and whose greed and need for control are excessive.
I saw that story earlier and dismissed it for the crap that it was. I'd like to thank Henry Markram for vindicating my snap judgment with his flame email.
Agreed. yours may be the only (high-modded) realistic post in this thread. I was getting tired of the positive spin from all the/.ers who can't handle the truth.
SPDY sounds like a really cool open source project if you ask me. Sure, it's not as cool as replacing TCP and HTTP completely but I bet I'm not the only one who's checking out the white paper and the implementation of the algorithms.

The time has come to let go of our juvenile and silly notions of individual freedoms and embrace the blessings of a single stable, hard working party.
I applaud google for showing proper respect to the people of china.
I also started to read the NYT after so many articles from it were linked in various websites I visit.

Your incredibly touching story about the plight of Hollywood has made me cry. God bless you and God bless the MPAA.

It was completely intentional. Hands off my dramatic license!
But Paypal is also evil.
I feel the same about this that I felt about the Iraq war and Saddam Hussein.

Hi, Quadrilingual moroccan-american reporting in to prove you right.

Damn it feels good to be the king!
I think the idea is to make it mandatory that any company that joins the DPL has to allow all its existing patents to be used by other DPL members.

Excellent work sir, excellent work.

Here are a few words you ought to look up:
Forgiveness
Compassion
Douchebaggery
You're an asshole and I hope life crushes you until you eat back those words of yours. Then maybe we can be friends.

Prove me wrong.
People like you are why I shouldn't be browsing slashdot at work. Don't say stuff that makes me laugh out loud, I'm supposed to be working.

The truth is by 2020, everyone should have 10 Gbps fiber to the home. Anything less will make internet speed the limiting factor.
Let's also remember that Sweden had common, affordable 100Mbps to the home almost a decade ago.
Spoken as someone who believes that a well educated person is an asset to a country. You're right of course. Pity not enough people agree.

On the one hand, I appreciate the parallel and see the coolness potential, on the other, have people really banged rocks throughout history?
