What if we all paid our $100 for dev access, and then ran a web site where you can exchange your as-yet-unreleased "projects"?!
What I'm saying is that I could see a use in having a site where you can post a dev project, in a form where others can use it on their own devices, kinda like a rather public beta test...
Could that be a way to have whatever features you want, since each app would not have to be approved (yet) by the Apple police?
So you become aware of another vehicle coming your way, and quickly establish that a collision is inevitable, unless you increase your speed significantly, so as to avoid a nasty conclusion... but your engine automatically chokes and you crash... it's rather dark, but you can hear the other driver walking around looking for you, shotgun resting on his shoulder, 'cause he's not happy 'bout your reckless driving, because his ride is now totaled when it would've been easy for you to avoid him,..., turns out the road was slippery and his brakes weren't up to the task because the sensors on his ride decided that he should slow down gradually instead of abruptly, somehow,..., anyhoot, you slip out of your car, limping, and try and hide amongst the rubble that were once 4 perfectly road-capable cars and one milk truck, when you get the idea to call emergency services in the hope that help can come before that man finds you, so you dial 911 on your cell,..., and that's when you hear the gunshot, and fall to your knees, as your phone keeps beeping, because it's in emergency mode now...
If using the GPS for long periods can have your phone warm up significantly, (was it the iPhone?) then perhaps the antennas should be set in one's gloves, to keep your hands warm*, especially during the winter days.
In any case, having to keep a certain distance from the body (for safety reasons) pretty much keeps this sort of thing on outerwear only.
You can complain about MS all you want, but aside from the malware tool they occasionally send, they do not push NEW software over their updates. They offer them through the Windows Update website as optional / recommended updates that are NOT preselected.

I remember hearing about doctors just reconnecting many nerves in the lower back after an accident, randomly since it couldn't be known which were which, and after some physical therapy, the patient learned to walk again under the new "wiring".
I have one questions/wonder about the "filpping the vision" experiment; what about reading, was he able to read as normal, even though the text was now upside down?
Back in the mid 80s here in Canada it was already an elective, though on actual (old-school) typewriters!
It was really meant as a pseudo getting-ready-for-secretarial-work professional type of course, so I told the teacher that I had no intent on doing any tests or even try to pass the "real" course load which was in French, since I my goal was to master typing in English for later use in Computer programming, etc.
The teacher agreed, gave me full grades, and let me down my own thing.
So, if I'm reading the summary correctly, there's this program where you can go and hunt down the bad guys, and these bad guys like to do bad things (intrusions?), and there might be bounties on the best/worst ones, and there's even a way to have bragging rights (TOP 10/killmail?), and you can collect a crazy amount of data to get this done...
I'm confused, are we talking about the next Eve-Online expansion, or is this a different MMORPG?
Then why does exactly the same thing happen to me regardless of the gender of the object of my affliction?
Mind you, I am bisexual, though still, how can my body be thinking that I'll potentially be reproducing anything at all when it's spurred by mingling with another (attractive) male?
At a place I once worked, the policy was to catch any and all possible outcomes to death, however impossible.
So I'd taken a habit of coding in a rather verbose and unique message for each condition that should never occur; one day a call came from a client with an odd error message asking users what the score of a game (between a hockey team and a basketball team) was on a specific season final, which helped us quickly identify the relevant portion of code.
Since the condition was indeed impossible to reach, we were able to return some harsh questions to the dev guy at the client's site, who had meddled with a library without supervision, which turned out to be the root cause of some odd intermittent bugs the client had been suffering of late.
Sometimes it's fun and helpful to be a little creative, though perhaps it's best to stick to clearer error text, since it initially took the client a whole day to eliminate the theory that a virus was causing the error to appear, instead presuming the application was the culprit.
In the Linux kernel, each socket has an associated struct of operations called proto_ops which contain pointers to functions implementing various features, such as accept, bind, shutdown, and so on. If an operation on a particular socket is unimplemented, they are expected to point the associated function pointer to predefined stubs, for example if the "accept" operation is undefined it would point to sock_no_accept(). However, we have found that this is not always the case and some of these pointers are left uninitialized. This is not always a security issue, as the kernel validates the pointers at the call site, such as this example from sock_splice_read: [snip] But we have found an example where this is not the case; the sock_sendpage() routine does not validate the function pointer is valid before dereferencing it, and therefore relies on the correct initialization of the proto_ops structure. We have identified several examples where the initialization is incomplete: [snip]
Outside of geek circles, people might assume that if a firm has just suffered a security blunder, that they'll sure be addressing the issue seriously, and that they will make sure it doesn't happen again, as opposed to firms that haven't and presume that security is something other people need to worry about.
Are you educated, do you feel like you've done your part, do you feel entitled, especially if you're holding a piece of paper, even if the contents of that document suffer the lack of genius?
Perhaps you're the perfect candidate for our exciting, yet trolling team,..., just like you, we feel we should be properly compensated for other people's excellence, because we've got patents, just like the other cool kids on the block.
In fact, don't bother applying for a position with us, you shouldn't have to expend any effort at all, I'm sure your uni will send us your FB link along with a praising recommendation letter.
Wow, we're such consumers; if things get unpleasant in our (current) country (of residence), rather than do something about it (and I don't mean changing your twitter avatar's colour,) we just choose a new/different one, thus exercising (or having) a choice?!
Soon, we'll only be left with resort-nations, perhaps moving seasonally, from Club Med Land in the winter, to some Bohemian Theme Park/Republic in the spring...
I guess globalisation can only help this become a reality, in time.
Perhaps it hurts more because we're not very busy with any other stimuli, what with the environment being so quiet and all, such that the signals aren't drowned out with other unrelated chatter.
Whenever I bump a body part, I find that immediately acknowledging the pain with a prompt expletive, almost completely takes the pain away, however, suffering from chronic pain related to a spinal condition, I'm not sure that blabbering my mouth away all day long would help that pain at all.

I can't help but wonder exactly what prostate as a verb means.
All I know is that it's a sexist verb.

they will become an irrelevent has-been 2 weeks later.
You say that like it's a bad thing!?
140 cents should be enough for everybody.

Oh no man, ..., they're *dudes*!
This is merely an ice crystal delivery system, to cool down the earth, for when global warming gets too, err, global?

Maybe their technology does work, but their analogies do not.
