Maybe I'm just more cynical than most, but I would actually be more surprised if it did NOT have a back door. I doubt US Gov't would allow the proliferation of communications it can't monitor.
When I was learning about programming on my TI-83, I wrote programs to simplify my class work like estimating the area under the curve and working with matrices for pre-calc and converting number bases for networking class.
I think I would have benefited from starting from assembler since there is not much "magic" happening lower down the stack. Once I learned it in college I was like "why didn't I learn this first?!"
You saw a lot of movies but you must have purposefully missed Iron Man. I don't feel that it was on par with TDK, but it was certainly one of this year's highlights.
E3 was always supposed to be a industry only sort of thing
It seems like they have started making it more like you suggest, but the interest in it has started to drop off, so now they want to change it back. Hmm, let's think about that.
Still... the question is, where is this homeopath making positronium?
I can't decide whether you're serious or not. The normal rules of science obviously do not apply to homeopathy. Behold my home-brewed Positronium! Now enhanced with awesomeness!
keep a second core powered up, doubling your power consumption
Are you sure a second core requires a 100% increase in power consumption? It seems like they probably share a lot of circuitry and thus powering up a second core takes less than the first core.
I wonder how it compares to CPUs that scale their clock-rate up and down depending on processing requirements?
That's the real problem though isn't it? Companies shouldn't be told (or shouldn't believe) that this is authoritative information. It should be used for non-critical convenience purposes only. We have a big problem with this on a major site that I work on.
flash probably wouldn't be viable on it The conclusion I come to is that Flash is too bloated. I have run into many situations where it killed even my desktop systems.
I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of this. It's not an application that generates code for you. It's an application framework, like Cocoa is for the native OSX environment, which provides simple abstracted access to do certain tasks via APIs. This just allows application developers to spend less time worrying about "under the hood" code to make things cross-browser compatible and so forth.
Somehow I doubt we'll learn the lesson of not allowing ourselves to be so dependent on other nations. I mean look at how OPEC has us over a barrel (pun intended).
What do we hope to accomplish by confronting them about it? We should just react by withdrawing from our friendly relationships and then as a consequence of that, let them negotiate with us and face the evidence.
It would be like if you had evidence your significant other was cheating on you, but rather than dumping them you just continued to ask them to acknowledge it. Of course they'll just keep denying it because you won't do anything about it.
Don't they drop the John Doe suit once they get the name so that they can open a suit against the named defendent, thus making the original suit a "fishing expedition" as the GP put it?

those 10 commandmenty thingies are pretty much the fundamental building blocks of the religion
Actually, according to Jesus those are just expressions of the greatest command.
You could also include the various other writings that went into the OT that date back to BCE. The Torah is just the Law, or the first five books.

Then I'd know it was a n00b for sure since the correct veribage is pwnd!

you won't find it in Merriam-Webster, for example

It's not much more handy than emailing photos nowadays with the advent of more email-friendly phones—but a couple years ago sure.
no one I know uses AIM
Weird. Everyone I know uses AIM and no one uses MSN. Someone should do/link to a study that breaks down IM service usage by region, demographic, etc.
Yeah, I keep a lot of compressed air in my cavern. It's so powerful that sometimes I can't contain it any longer and it escapes. /ducks

It has an HTML entity——.
sometimes "safety reasons" are just that and not part of a huge conspiracy to take away your freedoms
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Yeah, I feel that way some days too.
You shouldn't have replied AC, then you could have linked back to this comment in five years when your predictions are reality.

You couldn't be bothered to type that into your Google search box rather than the reply box? No wonder you are posting AC.
