    Yeah, there may be a world wide audience, but posting a story about a minor significance of a day 1:29 before the end of the day for some people means they don't care about people too far to the east.

    Plus that one download could be used to install an unlimited number of computers, so even counting people that complete the download might not be correct.

    The language of the whole threat makes it sound like he's about 8 years old, so using that logic we should also be looking for an 8 year old.

    I have Barleywines that have changed a significant amount in just 1 year, mainly a reduction in the amount of hops. Just because the container is inert doesn't mean that the contents don't change.

    Some governmental agency should man up and do it, though. Researchers have been hijacking botnets to study them for a while now, they almost have it down to a science. Someone in Homeland Security should just grow some balls and hire a team of professionals to hijack and destroy botnets.

    What is to keep that agency from just hijacking and *keeping* the botnet? Suddenly you have a government agency with a trojan installed on many computers.

    The problem with running away instead of fighting something like this is what happens when other countries do this? Are you suggesting that people flee those countries as well?

    There are protests where large gatherings of women walk/sit around topless? Can I go ... err ... help?

    If you are exposed to breasts frequently enough, they wouldn't be as titillating.

    Like the women that work at Onsens and Sento in Japan: when I went to a Sento (bath house), I didn't see a single male attendant. The women attendants would walk around cleaning stuff, and the nude men(myself included) would just ignore them.

  16. Rampant Sexism on The In-House Decency Patrol At Facebook · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I hate how incredibly sexist the filtering is. Both sexes (generally) have a pair of nipples that appear very similar, so for one pair to be fine for prime-time television, and another pair to be fined for a fleeting appearance on TV seems very silly.

    It isn't the shape of the female breast that is the issue, as a picture of a model wearing a skimpy swimming suit would pass. Male nipples? Also just fine.

    Female Nipples? WHOAH, STOP THE PRESSES!
    (Even if the nipple is currently feeding a child)

    Unless there is a wired kind of Bluetooth, should the title be "Bluetooth and non-Bluetooth wireless mice"?

    Or would I be wrong to say that I prefer USB mice over wired mice?

  19. Re:That would seem to defeat the purpose.... on Elderly To Get Satellite Navigation To Find Their Way Around Supermarkets · · Score: 1

    There is definitely a compromise that catches me:

    You could have each individual store maintain their layout, but each store have a different layout. Then, if I walk into a different Safeway, I don't know of fruit/vegetables is to the right or left from the door, where the natural foods are, and so on.

    I often walk to the wrong end of the store because it isn't the same as the last Safeway I was in. (Of course, this only gets people who can choose to stop at one of 4 different Safeways on the way home from work)

    Japanese supermarkets are pretty close to that already, especially the DOMY near my school. They put CD players with CDs on loop all throughout the store, so sometimes you have 5 or 6 different things playing near you.

    It seems likely that Skype will be made available once the platform is widely available. For Skype the money is to be made by providing people with the service and they seem to be extremely willing to provide that service on any platform that can support it.

    Agreed.

    I am in the group of people paying to use Skype on my Intel Linux laptop, so I agree that Skype specifically will likely hurry to provide service to Android/ARM.

    It is just an issue with flash, Skype, and other closed source applications that they might not be available from launch, if ever.
