And they tell you if the filament is too old, because no one wants to print with ink or filament that is has been sitting in a cartridge for a whole long year
They don't need to hire security for every school. We already have cops that sit behind desks all day, let's just move that desk to the school, like telecommuting. It can be a cop that already has children in school, so when he drops off his kid he's already at work. Win-win for everyone.
Sorry, that's how things were handled in the 50s. Beaver accidently left his 6" pocketknife in his book bag? Silly beav, go take it home and I'm calling your mom. Things have changed. Kids even drawing PICTURES of guns are being suspended. Crazy? Maybe, but so is kids killing a dozen students. Zero tolerance is zero tolerance, if they gave her a pass for setting off an explosion at school and then lying to cover it up what do they do to the next kid that brings a BB gun or firecrackers? The police charges may go a little too far, but charging and being found guilty are two different things. She'll likely plead and get probation, she's not serving time in federal pound me prison
invent MARKET. He invented the market, as in there was no market, no one was buying them, until Steve made them work well and look good and "cool".
Just like he didn't invent the laptop, but the Macbook Air was a dramatic leap forward, and look now there's a new class of laptops called "ultrabooks" all chasing the 2008 MacBook Air. But post anything Apple positive on/. now days and you're modded down, oh how times have changed since 2008.
Ten years from now your tablet will wirelessly connect to your desktop screen or TV or whatever you want, similar to what AirPlay does now. Tablets are the future, even captian pichard used them;) however I will admit they may end up being a interface device like a keyboard is now, because even in the distant future when computers can understand every word we say it will be faster to press a button than say out loud "computer please engage the hyperspace drive and set to level 9"
seems everyone needs to RTFA: "The assistant principal called police after talking to Wilmot's science teacher and determining he didn't know about the experiment."
assistant principal hears explosion, sees smoke, runs over and student claims "bomb" is science experiment. Seems reasonable, but teacher knows nothing about it. Of course expell student and possibly charge with crime, after all the things that have been going on recently at schools the school would be neglectful if they didn't expell student and call the police. Would a student be expelled and police notified for bringing a "harmless" BB gun to school or firecrackers? Of course, so should this student. But I'm a little perplexed why skin color was brought into this, or why a story of an accidental death has anything to do with this. People die all the time accidentally and it is not always a crime. Seems submitter is focused on racism rather than just looking at what happened and determining if punishment fit the crime.
But that is a cash machine. This story is about a gambling machine, where you put money in and hope to win money back. If there is a trick that helps him win money back isn't that part of the game? It's not cheating, he didn't change the code, he was just using the code the way it was written. Seems to me someone could argue that anytime the machine loses the person could risk being accused of "cheating" and be arrested.
Considering steve jobs basically created the finger input touchscreen smartphone and tablet market, he would be allowed to rant like this. This guy is patenting a 50 yr old sprinkler system. Not the same
First, this is Paul's personal blog and this is the first post in a year, so why is this on slashdot?? Second, they wouldn't come, they'd send drones first, like we do with the mars rover, but far more advanced. They might be here now, watching and waiting for us to become significantly advanced enough to become interesting to whatever life form sent them. Perhaps they're waiting for us to make a scientific breakthrough, or finally settle our disputes over land, etc. Who knows, but any significantly advanced race isn't just traveling around in a ship for no good reason, they'd send scouts out first to find something interesting and apparantly we are not that interesting yet
Then what would the judge have recommended as a best practice to not do it again? How can Apple be sure that the text that an author submits to iBooks is the author's own work? In fact, how can even the author?
And let's not forget that authors often do not own their own books, usually selling the rights to the books to their publisher even before they are written. This applies to musicians and other artists too, usually there is a music label that owns the music. So it can be difficult to determine who owns what, which is why in the US if I upload something that doesn't belong to me I get sued, not the website I uploaded the copyrighted work to, hence the RIAA lawsuits against individuals we hear about often.
Did Apple steal other people's ideas, or did someone else defraud Apple by submitting someone else's work to iBooks as his or her own? I'm getting hints from an article in China Daily that it may have been the latter.
Agreed. Article says someone else uploaded the books to Apple and those people were profiting from it. Sounds like Apple was an innocent 3rd party, like if I uploaded copyrighted works to Youtube and Youtube gets sued for sharing it instead of me getting sued.
Also, China has copyright laws? Home of bootleg movies and fake purses? Guess those laws only apply to foreign companies, not when China is stealing stuff from other countries.
Because it's a waste? You got your new green ultrabook, trying to be small and light, little 50 watt charger, and uh oh, now there's a 100w USB spec? Oh ok, well I guess this needs a larger 250 watt power brick now, and bigger battery just so it can say it offers the latest USB. Sure that adds a lot of weight, but don't want to lose sales because it's using the "old" USB. And think of how many other devices that will be built with larger, less efficient power supplies because of this spec? I, for one, do not welcome our new 100 watt USB overlords
Ya your Nexus One is ancient, it's.... what? You say the 4 year old iPhone 3GS runs the latest iOS 6.1? Oh.... umm idk then, i guess buy apple next time
one of those people worried about where to hide all the gold they're going to have someday? "My app will be sooo successful! I need a team of people to make it for me because I don't know how!" how about you make your super successful app, and if anyone ever bothers to use it *then* worry about scaling it up, mmmmk?
But more workers ARE available. 80,000 a year is a huge number of IT employees. Microsoft has 97,000 employees world wide in 2013, so they could almost replace every employee every year with H1-B employees, even those employees that don't have tech jobs. There is no reason at all to increase that number further, only possible reason is the hope that more techs who will accept a lower salary will apply. Having more minimum wage (or near minimum wage) workers in the US will increase the number of jobs because those workers will need apartments to rent that need maintenance, shop at stores that need shelves stocked, etc, but it will not improve the economy the way hiring local employees at fair wages would. Quite the opposite, the local IT techs would be forced to take minimum wage jobs.

Too bad the US has that little paper called The Constitution that says we have the right to bear arms

Agreed. If letting the program mine for bitcoin pays for the program then by all means have at it, I would not mind

So he spends several paragraphs ranting but doesn't spend 5 seconds googling? Now who's "Special"
I'm a good bit younger than 46 and Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 was required reading when I was in school.
This costs $70 more

The judge puts it squarely on Apple's feet.

Tech low life? I think the sites that ignore great startups to run articles about the pretty teenage girl startup are the low lifes
Yes.... I think, I'm not sure still a bit fuzzy but the doctor says that's what happened
Just don't wiggly hard and specifically request MOR POWAR! at the same time and you'll be find

of course, because people only upgrade their phones when the old one is broken, not because the new phone is newer bigger faster stronger
