Currently the records of mobile phones will give the Police a pretty good idea about what phones was in the area at the time; but unlike you, they have figured a couple of flaws with that: 1. Who says the perp has a mobile phone? 2. Even iff 1. how do you guarentee any records are actually correct? Sim card cloning, stolen phones etc.
Also, tracking people in public space is most likely violating heaps of laws (a supermarket / mall tracking whats going on within their own property is usually ok, since it's private property).
But you do. If you want to find out how sturdy a bunker is you throw explosives at a replica.
If you want to find out how effective a missile is, you tend to testfire it and see what happens - yeah you can simulate a whole lot, but in the end, only way to figure out if your guidance is still bolted to the right bit before impact is to fire the missile and see where it ends up.
Also, jamming the stuff at sea during engagement is akin to throwing unexpected input at a function - yeah we know we can comment the bastard out/switch it off, but what happens when it starts producing gibberish and your missiles are trying to use said gibberish for flying.
Actually Disney movies are rarely on the discount rack. They are pressed for a limited time and go out of production, so you always get to pay premium for Disney movies.
All evidenciary building materials confiscated and destroyed at the crime scene around the trade center plaza?
There was plenty of debris that was later taken back and tested. NYC was in a bit of a hurry to get that massive pile of rubble cleared out.
Got any documents on this? For me this was the only really smelly thing about 9/11, there is no way you could cover up the logistics of blowing up a building like that, but to cover up a building not build to code is somewhat easier, only have to lose a memo, bribe a couple of engineers and make the steel go away. But according to early documentaries about the nut jobs claiming the building to be a controlled demolition, the steel was shipped to the far east for reprocessesing before investigaters got to look at it...
One thing a lot of people seem to be missing is the fact that the ship cannot take the empty containers that it just brought with it back - a ship like Emma will be in harbour for the shortest possible time, that means, unload and load; then she is off again.
Also, if the problem is empty containers standing around, one obvious solution is to solve 3rd world housing problems by converting those containers to rudamentary living places.
There are some weird circumstances where you can waive rights, even stuff that is very close to breaking grundloven. Take TV3 survivor or any of the other "reality" TV shows, there has been cases where people have basically been slaves and unable to get out of the contract.
However, class action lawsuits are a very new phenonemen in Denmark and perhaps Sony isn't even aware of this posibility yet in Denmark? Secondly, no one knows if it's good to run a class action case here yet, I think there is only a handful been given the go-ahead; personally I'd rather take them to court myself here in Denmark since a lawsuit here isn't the same kind of moneysink as it is in the US.
I know it's slightly off for a slashdot reader, but I did read the articles, and none of them talk about why the patents where rejected.
They can apeal the rejection, so nothing is settled yet - but it would be nice to know on what grounds those patents where rejected; prior art? obvious or bribes?
It actually pisses me off they are doing it. Power in Europe is expensive enough as it is, if Germany decides to stop providing base load for their grid, they will be getting their power from neighbouring countries; that means demand will rise along with prices in countries where we have no say in what they are doing.
Really? Do tell, only thing I can think of that does anything like any Oracle software is Android vs. JAVA.
Databases? Postgres does come close, but is still lacking hugely in clustered environments (they have gotten the message and 9 series are getting better, but they are no where near).
So what alternatives do you mean are matching oracle?
Don't look into oncoming trafic with remaining eye...
I'm not too worried about the BMW version, they are not the xeon lights blinding you - I'm worried about the cheap knock offs bound to hit the shelves and be put into some youths car with absolutely no safety.
If you have signed up for it, it isn't spam. Spam is unsolicited communications where the sender has somehow managed to get your contact information in a way where you did not explicitly allow for it.
When the local stores send someone e-mail it is a concious signup made by the recipient.
While I do get your points about the desktop, your statement about setup is plain bullshit. You might have trouble finding your desired programs if you are new to windows vs. experienced Linux user, but once the machine is set up, it's done, it's there - there is no more time sink there - claiming that to be a big issue is just wrong.
GP has a point, when you live in the north that extra hour in summer time actually gives us an additional hour in the evening - while it doesn't change the total hours of sun, it does give us the sun when we need it; that is, when we aren't sitting rotting in a cubicle.
Erm, since he is at a hip cafe, the others are likely using MacBook Pros, which happen to have even more costly than the Razor thing, when matching the specs. (Apple doesn't come with same 2.8Ghz CPU, but choosing their high offer + 8GB gives you a price tag of 2900 for the 17").

You are dumb.
There, feel better?

Good thing they do the replacement though.

Actually, not entirely true.

Well from your fine examples we can conclude one chip will be used for DRM. How hard was that?
At 30k, the edge of the platter is travelling at:
8.75cm (about the diameter of a platter) * pi * 30.000 =
8,24 km/m or just under 500km/h.
A 60k drive would be breaking the sound barrier; there is no way that would ever happen inside your computer.

Yeah, you owe me a keyboard for that one.
Very well pulled.
Show me one case of your local stores where you signed up for a competition and they decided to send you e-mails about penis enlargement.
Magnets! Big strong magnets, less damage on the trains. Put the front train in neutral and the one behind will push it smoothly out of the way.
Also, it will clean up any lost metal on the tracks, win win!

Regarding your point about the scroll: http://gigaom.com/mobile/scroll-in-windows-without-the-cursor-focus/ - very first hit on google...
After I tried IntelliJ I'm done with open source IDE; there is simply no competing.
I program Python, I like MS Visual Studio, I think this is awesome.
Why would Python programmers be averse to Windows?
So you are arguing that it isn't dictated by social norms, with an example of almost an entire town opening at the same time?
Try going north, set your clock to winter time (in the summer) and see when the sun is up.
Because our working times are dictated by social norms?
Move out of the basement and see the real world...
