Customers bowed on Monday to Apple's newest App Store rules, and removed iPhone and iPad from their shopping lists. The move was required to comply with new rules designed to block Apple's competitors from making iDevices worth having.
Hey! For some funny reason when I run an X11 server on my Windows PC, the X11 window manager doesn't change the appearance of my Microsoft Windows (TM) windows either. Do you think it's a bug in X11?
If you define success fairly narrowly then Android is a Linux success. But I think that most people who hoped for a successful Linux desktop in the 1990s were thinking more along the lines of expanded personal freedom in computing as the goal of "success", more than the simple number of processors running some variant of the Linux kernel. While Android is more open than the alternatives, it's doesn't really (and can't really) ever fulfill the goals of an open and free computing environment that Linux as a Free Software PC/Workstation Desktop Operating System can.
Why wouldn't they use javascript? I think it's a much better learning language than most of the alternatives (java) because not drowning in crufty committee-designed latest-fashion constructs. It's got all of the iterative basics, but it's also got it's lispy functional side. And it's simple.
It's important to learn Chinese so that when you are doing business with Chinese people in English, you can understand what they are saying about you behind your back, cause that's what people do when they speak foreign languages.
The main focus of laser technology seems to be shooting down incoming projectiles, SAVING lives rather than killing them. Is that such a terrible thing?
But if we have awesome solid state lasers, why not just use the laser to shoot down the planes instead of missiles?
I don't have to worry about fans because I've got a few chunks of artistically arranged charcoal to suck up all the electromagnetic waves coming from the fan that kill you.

This will be excellent for powering the iWindow.

Ok. You got me. Whose planet is it then?
You should refrain from purchasing any product whatsoever that is made by a company that is suing one of its competitors.
When was the Internet anything other than a "lawless wild west"?
Vesta is a Taliban stronghold.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a kiss for a kiss...

Awesome. Now I can conclusively prove that I have no life!
Hmmm....
cons = function(a,b) { o=new Object(); o.car = a; o.cdr = b; return o; }
car = function(o) { return o.car; }
cdr = function(o) { return o.cdr; }
find = function(o,t) { if (o == null || car(o) == t) return o; else return find(cdr(o),t); }
p = cons(1,cons(2,cons(3,cons(4,null))));
> find(p,2)
Object
> find(p,5)
null
Ok, you're right. It sucks.

At least you got a Score:5 comment out of it.
Thank you, I was afraid for a moment there that my troll-fu was totally hosed. +1 insightful indeed!
What is this doing here. If you want a blog, why don't you just go get your own cmdrtaco.blogspot.com or something like that?
Does that mean I shouldn't be reading Slashdot while driving then?

It makes perfect sense to me, seeing as how it is a known fact that all members of Anonymous and Lulzsec are under the jurisdiction of U.S. Law.
Not with the critically necessary modifications for New York City's incredible unique and specific needs.
But when it was in the Daily Mail it was pseudoscientific nonsense fit only for troglodytes.
Now it's true.

So the Nazis printed a poster stating that Catholics should vote for them. What does that prove?
