THe poster's point is that laissez faire capitalism is self limiting - it quickly turns into something that's not particularly capitalistic anymore once a few people get all the money and power.
Spam filters, viruses. Yeah, I can see the connection there. Now, if they were doing quality control on canned meat products....
Assuming Microsoft uses some form of naive Bayesian classifier to do spam filtering like everyone else does, their spam filtering technology was in use by a lot of other people for a lot of other things before it came to be a spam filter anyway.
Aw, you live in one of those places where half an inch is considered a lot of snow and it usually doesn't last more than a couple of days before it melts, aren't you?
You take a bunch of people who belong to a known group with a known average risk. Preferably high risk, because then you need fewer subjects. You give half the the treatment (it's not really a vaccine) and half the placebo. Then you followup and compare the infection rate in the treatment group with that of the placebo group and the known average infection rate.
Yes, I read "available in volume" as available to volume customers. The iPad 2 was released in the US more like 9 months ago though, so the relative timelines still hold. It's still kind of a disappointing showing from nVidia, particularly on the graphics side.
Because of a threatened attack by anonymous that hasn't happened yet? Or by credit card fraud in general?
If the latter then you've either got a crappy bank and should switch, or you're depending on credit to buy presents, in which case you've got bigger problems and the card fraud might actually be doing you a favour.
I can order one hey? I can walk to the nearest Apple store and have an iPad 2 with an apparently similar performing (but with way better graphics) processor inside of 20 minutes.
Have you ever used a credit card? They don't extract money from your account, and so long as you report the fraudulent charges at your next bill you don't need to pay them at all.
Not that credit card fraud is a good idea, but it's not the catastrophe for the victim you make it out to be.
Get a new bank. A couple of years ago someone ran up a few thousand dollars on my credit card, most of it with iTunes but also some heavy equipment (!?) rentals in the same city. The bank asked me to sign a statement that the charges weren't mine and that was it.
That's performance reports to Apple, not to the carrier. Carrier IQ is something else. Although reports are that it's disabled (and the code has been neglected) in iOS.
Tegra 3, an unreleased chip that you won't be able to actually get in a shipping product for several months at least, is faster than the A5, a chip that's been in shipping products for the last six months.
Seriously. Apple's not doing too badly on specs either, apparently.
I hate to tell you, but Macs are currently made by one manufacturer, the OS is made by the same manufacturer, and (most of) the software as well. With no restrictions on what else you can install on them. Plus a copy of the premium (not the watered down and restricted) dev tools included on every one.
No, it means you have damage from "non-thermal radiation" i.e. something other than infrared. Wifi is nicely in the microwave range that has peak absorption by water molecules so it will effectively heat up anything wet. Which sperm (not sperms, editors) are. The researchers didn't do anything to protect the sperm against microwave heating.
No it doesn't. SUCCESSFULLY doing science implies that there is order in nature. That's why the emphasis on replication. Since this hypothesis has been upheld over and over and over again, it's not explicitly stated much anymore.
I'm sure a lot of them do. They're intelligent, mostly rational people who happen to have some cherished childhood indoctrination that's in conflict. To protect those childhood believes some people rationalize their belief, some just ignore or deny contradictions and others go whole hog and revise their beliefs. It's like Santa. I will happily assert that there is a Santa. But I won't make any important decisions that rely on that fact.
It always freaks religious people out when they discover that I've actually read their holy book. I had a nice discussion with a fundamentalist Lutheran once in an airport. She didn't know anything about evolution or homosexuality except the creationist talking points. I had actually read Leviticus.
This sounds like the Muslims felt like they were being left out of the crazy the Christians started. Odd that you don't hear about Jews getting bent out of shape over evolution.
There you go. IT seems to strive to make THEIR job as easy as possible. Making everyone else's job easier? Yeah, if there's time after I finish building this image with net hack concealed in it.
Volunteering a solution to a user's problem? That would require work!

Ah, generalizations. Of course, you have no idea what he's working on.

Are Americans really that uptight, or are you just assuming that school divisions are as paranoid as corporations?

But in this case they're using mice.

You lose the built in apps like Google maps when you do that too, don't you?

Maybe that's what the fifth core is for.

Temperature is a measure of how much jiggling is going on, not a basic characteristic.

Designed for different images for each eye, but you could easily do it your way.
Sunglasses have VERTICAL polarization. It's aimed at blocking horizontally polarized light such as glare from the highway or water.

The farmers in Alberta were fighting over the opportunity to have one on their land. Quite a few even bought a share in their windmill.
The NIMBY seems to be predominantly an American thing.
And those are the tame parts!
