Microsoft has a knack for getting it wrong several times before finally coming up with something that works.
Yeah, but they have been trying to make a name for themselves in the mobile market since the 1990s when their only competition was Palm! Even if they do manage to get it right some day, what are the chances that it happens in time to save Nokia?
I clicked this link on the front page of wikileaks.org and was immediately confronted with a paywall that matched the description in the article. That's great if you don't see a paywall where you are from, but that doesn't make those that do see it a "sack of lying shit".
It is pretty easy to see. Imagine the sphere moving a tiny amount so the star is no longer at the center of the sphere. Now the question is, do the resulting gravitational forces pull the sphere back towards the position where the star is at the center, or do they pull the sphere further off-center? Clearly, they are now unbalanced in favor of pulling the close side of the sphere even closer and, thus, sphere-world is also unstable.
I don't know a single person that doesn't bike because they have to wear a helmet.
Well, you don't know me personally. But you now know OF someone who doesn't bike because of helmets.
My whole family has bicycles and helmets. The bikes are right out on the patio ready to go. But whenever I suggest that we go for a ride, we realize that we have to dig out the helmets, adjust the straps and what-not, and by then it all seems like too much hassle. So the bikes have been out there on the patio all summer and we haven't ridden once. Last summer, same thing. Summer before, same thing.
Our kids never go out to ride them either because dealing with the helmet is a pain.
I've got a daughter who is eight years old and doesn't know how to ride a bike primarily because of the insane belief that it's dangerous to ride a bicycle around the park without a helmet.
I expect people in the UK will start to find that every chocolate bar in the store broken or smashed as people "look" for the winning bars by bending and squeezing them.
I keep reading this, that Gnome 3 is for tablet computers. Where does this come from? I'll tell you where it doesn't come from: people using it on tablet computers! I tried to use it on a tablet computer. It does not work. If you ever used it on a tablet computer you would discover in the first two minute, as I have, that Gnome 3 IS UNUSEABLE ON A TABLET COMPUTER!
Gnome 2? Works fine. KDE? No problem, LXDE? Works great. Gnome 3? YOU HIT THE WALL IN TWO MINUTES! TWO MINUTES!
I actually like Gnome 3. I want to use it. I use it on my desktop and my laptop. But the Gnome developers won't fix bugs even when they are complete show-stoppers. Hey Gnome team! How about making a password dialog box that, I don't know, maybe actually allows a guy to bring up an onboard keyboard instead of taking over the desktop?
That's essentially what cancer is, a genetic mutation in a cell that evolves it into an undying, eternally reproducing organism that parasitically gets its nutrients from its host organism/ancestor.
Cancer is caused by a small number of mutations and does not behave in a way that is healthy to the entire organism. These cottonwood trees, on the other hand have "variation within a tree... as great as the variation across unrelated trees" all within a healthy organism.

It all depends on whether your employer would be considered "authorized" to access the computer just because you coughed up your credentials.
If giving your credentials to other people is against the TOS of the site, one might argue that your employer is not authorized and, furthermore, that you might be guilty of "Knowingly and with the intent to defraud, trafficking in a password or similar information through which a computer may be accessed without authorization."
I suppose they THINK they are developing for touch screen devices. But they are fooling themselves. I ran into the problems I described within the first 2 minutes of using Gnome 3 on a touch-screen-only device.
That tells me that not one gnome shell developer runs Gnome 3 on a touch-screen-only device. Not one. Seriously. Because if there was such a developer, he or she would have run across the same problem within the first two minutes of use. Connect to encrypted WiFi? Can't be done without a keyboard. Resume from suspend? Again, can't be done without a keyboard. Type a tilda? Can't do it without a keyboard or a third-party on-screen keyboard program.
These aren't subtle little use-cases hiding in the corners. These are major problems that ANYONE attempting to use Gnome 3 on a touch-screen device will run into within the first couple of MINUTES of use. These are problems that the Gnome developers know about (because I have reported them) and that they have refused to address. They don't even comment on the bugs. They just let them sit. For years.

That joke just never gets old no matter how many times you post it here.
You forgot to add this:

You're right. The integral cancels out no matter where you put mass inside the shell.
Of course, if the "sphere" is really a swarm of independently orbiting objects, that would be (very nearly) stable.
The same is true for a "ring-world" of independently orbiting objects.
No. Neither is stable.

There is nothing on the list that isn't one of the usual suspects.

It's remarkable how many phones copy that lame icon grid from the original Palm OS.

According to the article, some people cannot get vaccinations due to allergies or other medical conditions. Those people are put at risk.
Also, some vaccinations are not 100% effective, so anyone for whom the vaccination was not effective is put at risk.

This practice is, arguably, already illegal under the US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

You are just being dishonest and tethering without paying.
How can violation of a policy I knew nothing about be dishonest?
I just got a picture in my mind of a cube-farm full of win8 devs feverishly trying to write an OS on tablets with no keyboard or mouse!
Yup. It is. I use it everyday to surf on my unlocked Nook Simple Touch and/or my Stylistic tablet and I have never been hit with an extra charge.
I'm on a prepaid plan and my phone is a stock Samsung Dart.
