  1. Re:News for Nerds? on North Korea Kills Phone Line, 1953 Armistice; Kim Jong Un's Funds Found In China · · Score: 5, Funny

    The answer is on the front page, just a couple stories down: Apple sues Samsung. Perhaps you're familiar with the quote "What's good for General Motors is good for the country" (Charles Erwin Wilson, though that's not actually what he said). That's even more true in South Korea which is, more or less, a subsidiary of the Samsung Group.

    Steve Jobs promised thermonuclear war and if he can't get it in the courts, he'll get it on the battlefield.

    Side node: by now it should be clear that Steve Jobs is not actually dead -- if he was, his embalmed body would be on display.

    There was a mystery passenger on Eric Schmidt's visit to North Korea. Could it have been Steve Jobs, offering iPads in exchange for war on South Korea?

    Much like animals sensing a storm and fleeing a storm before it arrives, Apple has been diversifying their supply lines so as not to use any parts from South Korea. Could they know something that we don't?

    You should; Brazil is where hairless honeypot comes from. If they start a trade war and cut off our supply of shaved snatch, prepare yourself for 70s-era big bush porn.

    ICANN's application fee for a new TLD $185,000. Amazon appplied for 76 of them. That's $14 million. This is all public information and has been discussed on slashdot previously,

    In the US, that would be a state-by state issue. I've never lived in a state that calibrated the speedometer but tire (or tyre) inflation will affect it...

    That said, around 20 states have statutory tolerances enshrined in law (usually ~5-10 mph) since your speedometer isn't 100% accurate and the cop's radar gun isn't 100% accurate either.

    You don't buy an extra ticket for your golf clubs? On second thought, anybody who throws around money like that would probably fly a charter/private plane and avoid all the TSA security restrictions.

    There are times that PHP (mod_php, more specifically) is the best tool for the job. But the argument is that it's a bad language -- poorly designed, inconsistent, etc etc.

    You might want to learn the difference between share price and market cap. For example, BRK-A is $152,742/share, GOOG is $821/share, and APPL is $420/share. But BRK-A's market cap is $250 billion, GOOG's market cap is $270 billion, and APPL's market cap is $397 billion.

    Almost all of the Siri processing is done at Apple's data center. Older iphones can be hacked to work with Siri but newer iPhones haves better DSP and noise cancellation. A hypothetical iWatch could have Siri, IF it had internet connectivity (native or bridged to your iPhone).

    A dog can smell things that a person would reasonably think is private. And, according to the supreme court, the dog doesn't even need to smell anything! Need probable cause for a warrant? Just claim the dog smelled drugs. The dog can't be cross examined! If your baseless search came up empty it's not because a 95% false positive rate on the dog, it's because the dog detected trace amounts. Or maybe you hid it so well the cops couldn't find it. In which case, enjoy your "obstruction of justice" charge for hiding a kilo of cocaine that doesn't exist.

    Those were known problems at the time of their IPO. Anyone who bought into it was either gambling ("I bet someone else is a bigger idiot than me!") or should see a doctor about their color blindness. Since they ignored all those red flags.
