They're an old, disgusting, decrepit dog that has lived longer than its useful lifespan. It barks all the time and bites children. It eats its own feces, vomits from that, and then eats its vomit. It pees on the carpet because it no longer has the will or brains to bother living up to any kind of standard.
I'm not saying that an old and disgusting dog should be kicked, but this one should be put out of our misery.
Yes, but what about to and from his vacation residence? That can be expensive. Also, many congressmen have expensive coke habits. It all adds up quickly. It's not like they can get by with average-priced prostitutes. Not in their line of business.
Realistically, they did not need to simulate this, because they could have actually driven it until it ran out of charge. Of course, it's not surprising that they wouldn't do that, since it's a huge waste of time and the end result is a foregone conclusion. It seems to me that Tesla is really just whining over a technicality, since it's true the car will run out of charge, and that's what they showed.
Then why don't they show other cars "pretending" to run out of gas and having to be pushed, since it's true that other cars will do that? That's also a foregone conclusion. It would be stupid to simulate and show each car running out of gas. So why simulate and show it for one car, when it never happened?
Microsoft has paid IDC one billion dollars to make that prediction, and also promised that it would pay customers one billion dollars to buy their phones.
The video only discusses basic calculus at a level that perhaps one in a thousand high school freshmen reach; it's remarkable, but not "12-Year-Old Rewrites Einstein's Theory of Relativity" remarkable.
I'm rewriting special relativity, and I'm practically a retard. When I saw this story I actually got worried, thinking that this kid could write everything I've done for the past year, in a week. But then I read GP's post and realized we're not approaching this from the same angle. He's exploring problems with it. I'm developing a new understanding of it from the ground up. If he finds a serious problem with GR, it will be monumental, but GR is pretty good at fending off attacks.
The depth buffer prevents the naked pixels of the underlying polygons from being rendered. Just make sure cheats are disabled and the kids can't use NOCLIP to get inside the dress.
Something just short of negative one billion dollars. At least, Nokia thinks so. I think they got screwed, but they can probably hang on for a couple years.
Microsoft takes out their checkbook. "One billion dollars was it?" Nokia happily takes the check. "What is this?" The check is made out for "10 million WP7 licenses". Microsoft: You didn't expect it in CASH, did you?! Ahahaha!... now make the damn phones.
I've just written a song so that I can get on a share of that cash. Will I get an equal division of the cash? No? Why not??? Then why the fuck should they charge people an equal share of their imaginary cost?
Why not cut to the chase and just toll everyone passing any bridge, junction, road crossing, waterway and then divert the loot to the "intellectual property 'rights' holders" ?
What a ridiculous and exaggerated idea.
Really, they should just add an "ear tax" on anyone who can hear. Because, they might use those ears to hear some precious, precious music that doesn't belong to them.
I have no problem either, we should all pay for our music on iTunes and then pay an extra $10/mo to... wait, I already paid, why am I paying again?
Yes, but many people will download their music for free. You have to share in paying for that, too.
If they raise my internet bill $10 per month, I will probably cancel my internet service. This is a loss of business for internet providers. They will have to raise it another $10 to make up for that.
am I leaving anyone out?
Yes, me. I run a carrier pigeon messaging service, delivering any message within a 100 km radius within a week. New technology has reduced my profits, and therefore new technology should be taxed so that I can maintain my previous profit levels despite my obsolescence.
This is Canada dontcha know. The profit of the capitalist market system is a social program here.

What versions of Ubuntu are THOSE? (runs)
Those are different versions of linux, you dolt, ported to run on different machines.
Ubuntu has linux included in it by default. It's just the plain version though. In Ubuntu, if you open a Dos Prompt, that's linux!!! Then you can even run some of the programs that come with linux, like "ls" and "cd".
This would run only "pure" native code, and not access any OS features of the main OS on the client's machine. Any OS features would be provided by the browser. In a sense the browser would implement a virtual machine and become an OS running on top of any other OS that Chrome runs on.
Google wants control of as much of "app space" as they can, as all the major players do... Not necessarily for dominance; it may simply be to get around the dominance of others. For maximum control, you control the OS (ideally, the processor as well, then you really can do whatever you want to iphone).
Google can create its own OS and try to get people to use that... or it can just build an OS into its browser and say "who cares what OS you have underneath, I'mma ignore it."
Yes, different native binaries need to be compiled for each architecture supported, but they already do that for Android with NDK. It's not "that bad" because there aren't a lot of architectures that need to be supported, and one can compile for all of them on a single machine. However, it supports monopolization of architectures and suppresses alternatives.
Eventually, Google will be making its own processors. You'll run Chrome in whatever OS you have, and Chrome will encourage you to go fullscreen, and then it'll take your OS out back and beat it up, and you'll say to Chrome "Ok how do I switch back to other windows?" and it'll say "Windows? What's that?"
Wow that was fast! The story's only a few hours old, and already the trial is done?
Sony is only trying to make our lives better, and to make a little money so it can make them better still.
Yes Geohot, stop going after the non-profits! We should be donating to Sony (out of curiosity, do they qualify as a charitable organization? Tax purposes).
According to new theories universally accepted by at least one crackpot scientist, the observed universe is as it exists in that moment, and so you cannot say anything about what exists beyond what is possible to observe (not counting what is unobservable due to optical resolution, sensitivity, etc). What lies beyond the observable is not a part of reality; essentially it does not exist.
Now what happens if Google, to improve its search results, starts copying Bing as well? Is this feedback interconnection stable, or will it merely result in spurious noise being amplified, which commentators will misidentify as vast social movements?
This would require Google to feed on a parasite. It would be analogous to having a tapeworm fall out of your butt, and then eating it.
Or another example is: If you had a human centipede, Google is at the front and Microsoft is at the back. "Closing the loop"... well... again this would involve Google eating its own shit after Microsoft has re-digested it.
So why would Google ever stoop to eating Microsoft's shit?
so you like to hack into gay bar to watch penises, as they says : each to is own !
Has grandparent looked into a job with TSA? I heard it's an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord for the eyes of penus, all day just PENUS PENUS PENUS PENUS PENUS PENUS and they actually pay you for it!
I imagine the millons of accounts that they will have to give details if they count everyone that pressed the "I Like" button on websites/news/etc that talked about Wikileaks.
Why don't the US courts just buy that personal information by the millions like other companies do when they want to datamine us?

Obviously if you cant do it 'in the cloud' you're either doing it wrong or its something illegal.
I can't get to the end of that sentence without my mind wandering and wondering to what mysterious things this euphemism is referring.

I had skipped past where he said that, and I didn't even realize he was talking at all until I read your comment.
Also, I didn't think that I was watching a video until I hit "preview" on my comment and read where I'd written about watching the video.
I have new found respect for Twitter.
Slashdot must now inform you that they have been subpoena'd by the US courts for the account details of anyone who supports Twitter.
