Why would they partner with someone who's already tried and failed in this industry, to do something that they've already been doing successfully for 30 years?
Yes, this is monumentally stupid on their part. But I'll be shocked if there's any real consequences for it. The other manufacturers are all watching to see how much backlash there is, and how quickly people forget and move on to see if this is something that they'll want to do in the future as well. Consumers won't care about this, and business will carry on as usual soon enough.
Is there an extension that blocks these "We'd like your feedback" messages that seem to be popping up on every single site lately? Or a way to block them easily with AdBlock?
I didn't ask him to, I didn't hire him to, I didn't indicate any desire on my part for him to do so.
So his tweet just randomly showed up without you following him, or without someone you follow retweeting it? I'd contact Twitter, it sounds like you've found a bug.
Over a decade ago, Siemens offered a system that offered all of this. It would automatically alert dispatch if a vehicle left a specified area, the shotgun was dismounted, lights were on, vehicle was exceeding a certain speed without lights on, etc... I worked with the public transit version which had similar features, but the local PD was there with us for quite a bit evaluating how we were using it to possibly start using it on their fleet. This was in 2004.
But why should they be a part of the OS? They can be, and frequently are replaced with third party apps with different functionality.
Having those remain apps that are separate from the OS allows this, as well as allows people to keep their phones up to date easier since they're not as reliant upon the manufacturers and carriers to push out updates to the OS.
This is Google's way of dealing with the version fragmentation that has plagued Android. This is a good thing, in my opinion.
Camera, calendar, chrome, hangouts (messages), clock, google+, dialer, people (Contact manager), photos are all apps that are a pretty central part of an android phone. Not to mention the suite of Play apps (Movies, news, store, music, etc.) and other google services that aren't required but are very useful such as translate, google+, sky map, goggles, etc.
This is a textbook illustration of trying to get people, and especially kids, interested in science. If people can't see things like this, they will lose interest. Kids won't study with aspirations of doing things like this. Adults won't approve taxes to help fund the sciences. Our economy will continue to lose ground to the countries that are making science important.
Seeing pictures and videos of the shuttle in action is impressive. Actually seeing it in person, and the displays set up at the Science Center are even more impressive.
About a year ago, I was pulled over for speeding. (Incorrectly, a similar vehicle had driven past me at the speed that the officer said I was going). While I was pulled over and the CHP officer was talking to me, someone who was driving past reported the police there. It piped up and helpfully told me that police was reported ahead, in 0 feet. The officer found it kind of amusing, and I was able to talk my way out of the ticket.
California has mobile SMOG checks that are also "voluntary". Vehicles are flagged out of traffic by a CHP officer, at which point you're allowed to choose whether you want to have your car smogged. Although if you refuse to have your car checked, your license plate is recorded and logged for later analysis.
-Section 4.3
"The license plate numbers of vehicles whose operators decline to participate in the Roadside Inspection Program are recorded and entered into a laptop computer for later analysis."
At that point in time, the iPod had around 10 GB of storage, which may not sound like a lot, but a lot of other MP3 players at the time had something like 64 MB of storage.
You can also get a mechanical keyboard that will rival the Model M.
But can I beat someone to death with this like I can with a genuine Model M? Also, is the knockoff dishwasher safe for easy cleanup like a genuine Model M?
Slashdot Mirror
Back in Windows 3.1, you could use qbasic to write a file with a non-standard filename, which would exceed the 8.3 format.
8th grader me thought it was the height of comedy to write files with names like "[Teacher name] is dumb" to the desktop.
Any attempt to remove or rename the file using the command line or UI would cause Windows to crap all over itself and crash.

What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe she could get a kevlar beanie?
What about Bennett Haselton, for always so graciously providing his view?

Replacing TV tuners and Cable boxes should not be what we envision the Internet to become.
Why not?

That would be a horrible formula for the consumer. By design, the throttle will limit the percent of data that's throttled vs what was used.
The new Stream laptops by default have no touchscreen
I wanted one, until I read this part. Could you really consider it a tablet if you have to plug a mouse in for it to work?

You are also not considering that within the Christian context, the children's lives would actually be better in the afterlife.
This line of thinking is how we end up with people like Andrea Yates, Jim Jones, and countless others. This thought scares rational people.
The problem with your oversimplification is that the holy book of Christianity encourages pacifism
Have you actually read the Bible?
Matthew 15:3-7
John 15:5-6
Genesis 6:6-7
Numbers 31:15-41
As a side note, the Awkward Moments (Not found in your average) Children's Bible that these illustrations came from are great books.
No, he's associating it with Citizen's United v. FEC

Well, Packard Bell will tell you that it's a new computer.
Panasonic, or Slashdot? Are we talking about their app rejection reason or site redesign here?

Less space than a Nomad.

Windows is cheap. The myriad of other servers, and their licenses that businesses require aren't cheap.
