This kind of refinement in the online video space is a great great thing
I don't know. In the case of scientific papers, yes it probably is. But a great deal of the appeal of youtube is the ability to stumble onto things that you didn't know existed (via the 'related videos' links in particular.) If there was a separate site for Japanese game shows, or Harry Potter rap, my life would be a little bit poorer.
You want to cool the water just a little bit below the condensing point, so that your pumps to do not cause the water to boil again (rough on the impellers). Any cooling below the condensing point is waste, so you want to minimize it to a little as practical,
Wait, what? This is water that's going back to the river, right? Any heat is already wasted, so why is any further (passive) cooling more wasteful?
...users need to be careful about what they put on their phone, who made the binaries, and how they verify the source. Even one compromised iPhone would be very valuable to a nefarious malfeasant.
Well, yeah. Replace "iPhone" with "computer" and you have the current state of affairs.
I'm starting to think that Apple has made this 'just hackable enough.' That is, if you want to, and don't fear the command line, you can do it (and they can disclaim any responsibility.) But if you don't want to, you don't have to worry.
That said, I'm holding off to see how this tug-of-war plays out.
Google/YouTube does not own any of the content on their site, so there's no copyright violation on Comedy Central's part.
That doesn't follow. ALL content is copyrighted these days. If Comedy Central didn't clear the rights with whomever owns them, they are in violation. IANAL, but I'm sure Google will be able to use that to some advantage.
I don't see why we need an entire thread devoted to a topic that doesn't flow into the stated goals of slashdot. You know, News for nerd, stuff that matters.
Here's what you can do. Go to the front page and find the article with the most comments. That is, by definition, the news that matters most to nerds today. I'm sure you'll be much more comfortable there.
What do you think the $10 a month is for? T-Mobile is basically signing you up for a subscription to their WiFi service.
Sounds like they're signing up the phone. Now if they were signing me up for ten bucks a month - if I could use my laptop at any Starbucks for free - that'd be worth it right there.
So if Apple figures out how to make an intuitive user interface out of touchpad motions, that's pretty cool, and other operating systems should be able to adopt similar features quickly!
As the article mentioned, they already do support scrolling with a two-fingered gesture. I can see the pinch gesture that the iPhone uses for zoom being pretty useful as well. I'm less certain about the 'flicking' gesture for scrolling in the iPhone, although I haven't tried it myself.
From what I can tell, the VP's office is unique in this, that it is partially executive, and partially legislative.....
...and partially judicial. The Senate tries impeachment cases. Yup, he'd preside over his own trial. Seriously. He's exempted if the President is impeached, but apparently it never occured to anybody that the VP could do anything to warrant impeachment.
A record album was a fairly large thing, and, covers were small posters in their own right.
Yeah, I grew up with them, loved them, and I remember people bitching about the small size of CDs when they came out, but I never missed it. Probably because I got a booklet with the CD (probably same total area, so it was a push.)
Then the booklets got smaller and I never missed it. Probably because by then I had the web and didn't need to stare at physical liner notes while listening to an album.
Now I've got D/Ls and iTunes and cetera, and any 'album' I listen to I've probably created myself, so I know why each song is there.
Personally, I find myself more interested in bands that put their music out on the net and/or sell CD-Rs themselves. (Nerdcore, Wizard Rock, etc.) I can't remember the last time I bought music from someone who the RIAA 'represents.'
This seems to parallel the increasing niche-ification of magazines and their cannibalization by the web. Not at all suprising, really.
. Their single-minded devotion to creating the exact prop from the film is a bit eerie, though.
Savage is (or was) a prop guy. That's what they do. I know one who made a working replica of the Logan's Run Blaster just for grins. (Working in that it spews green flames, not in that it terminates runners.)
Personally, I'd rather see South Park, Terrance & Phillip, Clerks, etc style animation instead of CG. Something similar to Batman Beyond would be pretty cool for this.
I know what you mean, it's the uncanny valley. They DO seem to be trying to avoid that, from what I can see here. Note especially Kenobi's(?) beard. Threre's not enough to tell if they're sucessful, unfortunately.
Yes, but we're not speaking Latin. We're speaking a trade language that has (apparently) decided that it's easier if every singular Xus is pluralized as Xi.
If you win and receive an actual unit, it just makes further development and testing for the platform that much easier for you.
The part that throws me is that they're only giving away one XO for first place. These things are supposed to be cheap, give away a bunch. Give the best entries two (to facillitate testing of mesh-dependent software.)
An author who had a similar contract would fare as well. The difference is that a general contractor's kids and grandkids don't get to collect rent from, or deny housing to, anyone in a similar building.
The point is that copyright is an incentive for production, not a welfare program.

Is "HaloIsDumbedDownMarathon" allowed? 'Cause that'd be almost worth getting an XBox for.
I hate real almost as much as I hate QuickTime.
Wait, what? What's the problem with QT?

If you have to tell people in writing you're making a joke, it's often not a very funny one.
You must be new here...
You don't mix the secondary water and the river water, because the boilers require very pure water with a controlled chemistry
Ah, thanks. I knew I must be missing something.
But this is old tech in fancy wrapping.
Don't fret, I'm sure it suffer the same fate that befell the iPod.

Designers, prepress, videophiles, anyone who really cares about color gamut.
Of course, that's a niche market, same as high-end audio.

That was one movie where the book was SO far ahead of it better, that I almost wish the movie hadn't been made.
There's a remake of the film that's in preproduction (last I heard, anyway) that is supposed to be much closer to the book in a lot of ways.
. Their single-minded devotion to creating the exact prop from the film is a bit eerie, though.

Oddly, today I happened across some '04 Mayoral candidates that were given the Voight-Kampff test. (The Nexus 7 won.)

Also some grammar checking by the editors would be nice.
Apparently they're outsourcing that: "Help us with feedback on Firehose items by selecting 'dupe', or 'typo' in the feedback menu below an item."
Yes, but we're not speaking Latin. We're speaking a trade language that has (apparently) decided that it's easier if every singular Xus is pluralized as Xi.
Deal.
On closer reading, they have four distinct development tracks, so there might be four separate prizes. Anyone know the details?
