I've only been to the Alamo Drafthouse once, but I think it was the best experience I've ever had at a normal (i.e. 35mm) movie theater. Comfortable seats, good projection/sound, friendly staff, and the food was delicious and was served unobtrusively. The prices were quite reasonable as well.
If you read the article, you'd see that the rule only applies to "Apps which contain DUI checkpoints that are not published by law enforcement agencies".
I'm surprised that Swing is still being developed. It seems like they should just add SWT to the official spec...it looks better, performs better, and seems to be much more popular among developers of nontrivial Java GUI programs. Granted they'd need to add a fallback for unusual platforms with no native widgets to use, but that should be relatively small compared to the overall work needed.
Thank goodness a university has finally decided to teach a curriculum based on what its professors like, instead of adhering to silly concerns about what might be useful in the real world. Students can rest assured that they'll get a first class CS education, and--sorry, what was that? Jobs? You want to get a job? What the fuck do you think this is, DeVry?
Er, no, that makes no sense...the binning process has nothing to do with producing or failing to produce a meaningful model number. If you have a 6-core, 3ghz CPU with 1MB/cache per core and a 4-core, 2.5ghz CPU with 512KB/cache per core, why would the MODEL NUMBER be less clear if they were binned versions of the same silicon than it would be if they came from two different dies?
Cars are probably their primary claim to fame, but appliances and consumer electronics would likely be #2 and #3. The most newsworthy part of this is that an independent source that is beyond reproach (to the extent that such a thing is possible) has confirmed that this is a legitimate problem that shows up in normal use.
One of my computers had an intermittent failure in a RAM chip/line/something somewhere that mostly manifested as SHA/MD5 failures when I was checksumming large files that I'd downloaded. Never showed up in Memtest86, but eventually I eliminated every other possibility. IIRC, I solved it by underclocking the machine and then replacing it when I was able.
Ever play with a Game Genie on a NES? There are lots of things you can do that will mess the game up without preventing it from running. This is analogous.
No, that's not what they're saying. They're saying that IE's TOTAL market share has dropped by 2.5%, 1.3%, and 1% in the above countries, in ONE MONTH, which would tend to suggest that a substantial portion of the installs from that month utilized an alternate browser. Remember, not every computer user in the EU installed Windows 7 this month!
Cecil isn't in any of the screenshots...because he isn't in either of the games mentioned. That's Final Fantasy IV, which has been known by that name in every release except for the US SNES version.
I can see being confused by the renaming, but how do you see a character in the screenshots who just isn't there?

IPv4 Will Not Die In 2010

Domain squatters and the like use one IP (and one server) for thousands and thousands of domains. They're parasites but they're not using anything like a significant fraction of the available IP space.
The state of a Turing machine can be solved for a given input take and machine and for step k in O(k) time; it's the question of whether it EVER halts that is intractable.
More simply, "Does the machine half after x steps?" is easy. "Does the machine ever halt?" is intractable. The quote is making the first claim, not the second.
You're assuming that CFLs are 100% efficient. They're not. The best fluorescent bulbs are in the neighborhood of 20% efficient.
There's a difference between relative efficiency (The new incandescent bulbs are 75% as efficient as current CFLs) vs. absolute efficiency (X% of the power that goes into the bulb is emitted as visible light.)
...this would make it better: "The new firmware update for the Kindle removes the remote deletion capability. We pledge [in some legally binding fashion] that this capability will never be reactivated."

Are you demanding the revocation of the author's poetic license?

Car metaphors are so last week, so here's a fast food metaphor:
It's bigger than a medium but smaller than a large.
Kirk: Bones, there's a... voorwerp... out there.
Bones: Why is any object we don't understand always called "a voorwerp"?
Scientists tell us that the sheer number of "A"s required to describe this battery would fill, like, a bunch of lines.
High-fructose corn syrup and saturated fats?
Does this mean that B >= NP?
Please learn to recognize sarcasm. This wasn't even a difficult one; the second line of the GP made it clear that the first line was said in jest!
Friend Computer was manufactured by Apple...it all makes sense now!

A joke is trying to whoosh over your head.

I hear they'll be sending another one as soon as they come up with a good backronym for TOWTRUCK.

Unfortunately, I don't see that happening.
