Well when reading the news item as in "no electronics needed" how many people on Slashdot came up with the same idea in their head before reading the article? It's rather obvious how it could be done but yeah, many patentable things are. I just think it's sad people can patent such crap/simple stuff. Especially since many others could come up with a very similar product from just wanting to solve the same problem, and the patent would most likely cover that solution to.
I assume there's a reason it's not used already. Such as: It's not that hard to put the battery in correctly in the first place and maybe the connectors worn out faster / get bent more easily / touches by accident/moist/..
Worse with our kings and queens though: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successionsordningen "En medlem av kungahuset måste vara av evangelisk-luthersk tro enligt den oförändrade Augsburgiska bekännelsen av år 1593 annars är rätten till tronen förverkad. Detta gäller såväl monarken som prinsar och prinsessor. När det gäller successionsordningens äktenskapsbestämmelser är inte monarken bunden av dessa utan kan ingå äktenskap med vem han eller hon vill. En prins eller prinsessa måste däremot ha monarkens godkännande samt även regeringens godkännande för att kunna ingå äktenskap utan att förlora rätten till tronen. Det finns inget hinder för en prins eller prinsessa att gifta sig med vem han eller hon vill - men arvsrätten till tronen går förlorad om inte monarken och regeringen gett sitt tillstånd.
En medlem av kungahuset får inte utan monarkens och riksdagens medgivande bli regent i utländsk stat, oavsett det sker genom arv, giftermål eller val. Den medlem av kungahuset som gör det tappar rätten till kronan för sig själv och sina efterkommande."
Google translate: "A member of the royal family must be of the Lutheran faith as the unchanged Augsburg Confession by the year 1593 is otherwise the right to forfeit the throne. This applies both to the monarch as princes and princesses. With regard to succession rules marriage is not bound by the monarch but they can marry who he or she wants. A prince or princess must however have the monarch's approval and even the government's approval to marry without losing their entitlement to the throne. There is no obstacle to a prince or princess to marry whoever they want - but the succession to the throne would be lost if not the monarch and the government has given its permission.
A member of the royal family may not, without the consent of the monarch and Parliament to become ruler of a foreign state, whether it be through inheritance, marriage or choice. The member of the royal family that will lose the right to the crown for himself and his descendants."
Though of course it will only matter for them so won't affect me much.. Still stupid imho.
I read some interview with some homo-organization-dude-in-UK, and according to him most most people where into fingering but not that many into actual penetration. I guess orals may be more regular and masturbation the most common thing.
I think the pressure is quite high on the ladies when it comes to anal-sex, and most guys probably want to try it out, or atleast many enough that the ladies get the question every one in a while atleast.
Personally I don't know. Porn makes anal-sex with a female seem pretty normal but with a guy things would look different... As in both cases but.. I know some men who's probably edging the "choices" seem comfortable with she-males, and I guess I may have been to, though in real life the whole idea it's a fag/man trying to look and behave like a girl may likely had ruined it.
As a receiver however I would believe it's better with a man than with a girl wearing a strap-on. A penis got warmth and some give to it, a piece of silicone or whatever does not. The control is most likely better of the penis to. How it would work in the mind is another question..
Same goes for double penetrations and threesomes. While I would most likely feel envy for those who get them / sex at large I would be too shy in the situation and maybe not very fond of the idea either.
I think one earns in not thinking so much and being to restrictive and not just let things happen though.
I think admiration for a male body, a human mind and sexual comfort may be quite a few different things. For instance most people probably felt somewhat uncomfortable the first time they had their regular hetero-sex to. Or atleast where when they where younger.
I would assume ass-pounding is more common among all the heterosexuals than the homosexuals.
Point taken though. I don't see what religion got with anything to do, can't understand why the American president talk about god all the fucking time either. Maybe it's in some old rules of the country that the president must be a christian? Our king had to too I noticed, pretty retarded, good that's not the case for anyone with political power, here that is.
Wherein does it lay though? I questioned myself that, though I know similar actions has been made for some other fan-made titles.
Where does the breach happen? Is it:
* In using the game brand for their own title? * Using copyrighted graphics to make their game look the same? * Copying the idea? * Creating something so similar that it's not a work of its own?
I assume it's ok to make a similar game? To make something called "badgers"? And eventually to draw somewhat like Lemmings but not really as graphics for your game?
What part of the IP are they breaking? Is it in making it look similar or copying the general idea/whole concept of the game? What is it protected by?
For similar games we've got Giana sisters vs Mario brothers, Doom II vs Duke Nuke'm and so on.
Yeah, stupid of me, but I meant the mirror-less interchangeable lens cameras, though even then it would have been possible to make it rangefinder style.
And pellicle mirror cameras would be something inbetween.
The E-330 is an outdated four-thirds design. The four-thirds sensor is somewhat smaller than Canons APS-C-sized sensors and even more so than the regular APS-C-sized sensors used by Nikon, Sony, Pentax and so on.
Smaller sensor should in general mean lower price.
And it's as small as DSLR-sensors go.
Of course you could most likely do it with any DSLR camera. But the example was most likely made to say "any cheap DSLR camera", not especially the E-330 (though it do have live view, something most of them do have today to, which let it view the sensor input on the display rather than in the optical viewfinder. Nowadays most of them can be tethered / view data by HDMI to.)
Yeah! As one of the earths rest ~5 billion people I find it exciting and can't almost help myself waiting for Baidu to launch over here so I can switch out Google!!
Meanwhile in Sweden we for once have a "right" government, something we rarely have, but the explanation for that is fairly easy to figure out using the same webpage: http://www.politicalcompass.org/euchart
(Over (current) "right" is very left for an American.)
But can one assume they wasn't possible when one look at the bigger picture / the chance of both being boys?
Or is that just wrong and one only should care about the current situation?
And if you where to decide on 50% would that be because the first kid being female options isn't valid longer since the first one was a boy, or is it rather because it's 50% chance that the second one is a boy regardless of anything else?
But: Chance of one child to be a boy? 50% Chance of two children to both be boys? 25%
Chance that the second of two children is a boy? 50% Chance that the second of two children is a boy AND that the first one is a boy? 25%
But things like this always fuck me up, because I find it hard to tell if the other statement matters or not.
Oh the shame to be wrong on Slashdot if I where (was?;D):D... because one also want to ask oneself "but what are the chance that a children, regardless of what has happened is a boy?"
Isn't it like saying "Ferrari makes the fastest tractors!" (yeah, I know!), which may be true, as long as they can actually carry out the things you want to do.
I don't know about the limits of OpenCL/GPU-code (or architecture compared to regular CPUs/AMD64 functions, registers, cache, pipelines, what not), but I'm sure there's plenty and that someone will tell us.
They are doing it Windows-style, and it's horrible in scaling the interface, or was atleast.
And I remember reading for each and every new OS X version rumors about how it would be able to scale the user interface for various DPI screens.. (which it supposedly can, just not enabled, and maybe not working perfectly, don't know about slow leopard.)

Slashdot Mirror
Sometimes, I like to RTFA, just for the novelty.
I'll start once they give out free shirts for everyone doing so :)
Which is weird since even the Slashdot news item specifically says:
the 'InstaLoad' technology does not require special electronics or circuitry
Guess even reading the news item before posting isn't obligatory longer.
Headlines 'ought to be enough for everyone!

Yeah, stupid of me, but I meant the mirror-less interchangeable lens cameras, though even then it would have been possible to make it rangefinder style.
And pellicle mirror cameras would be something inbetween.
Correction: Of course the SENSOR input is never shown in an optical viewfinder, the mirror reflects the image/light up to the optical viewfinder.
But yeah, with live view the mirror stays up, the sensor fetches the light and it shows up on the display instead.
(mirror-less cameras use electronic view finders instead.)
The E-330 is an outdated four-thirds design. The four-thirds sensor is somewhat smaller than Canons APS-C-sized sensors and even more so than the regular APS-C-sized sensors used by Nikon, Sony, Pentax and so on.

Maybe it's partly company/brand image?
Like: "Look at us! We've got the best people out of the US!"
"this good Chinese farmer/Indian" may not have the same impact.
by the glorious Workers of the People's Republic!
No, it was mostly foreigners, atleast the images I checked.
Probably more like "huhu, crazy ass Brits! Look how they go out naked in their parks!"

Boho, crap, so wrong as always :D
Don't know if that made much sense?
But:
Chance of one child to be a boy? 50%
Chance of two children to both be boys? 25%
Chance that the second of two children is a boy? 50%
Chance that the second of two children is a boy AND that the first one is a boy? 25%
But things like this always fuck me up, because I find it hard to tell if the other statement matters or not.
Oh the shame to be wrong on Slashdot if I where (was? ;D) :D ... because one also want to ask oneself "but what are the chance that a children, regardless of what has happened is a boy?"
25%?
Chance of one children being a boy = Roughly 50% (F or M)
Chances of two children both being boys = Roughly 25% (FF, FM, MF or MM)
One is a boy => Requirement for the second to be a boy is that both are boys = 25% chance?
Yeah I wondered which one it was but I was somewhat to lazy I guess. Maybe the history was the Lamborghini guy decided he could to ..
Only googled ferrari tractor to see if they had any or whatever it was lamborghini, got a few tractor images so I went with that.
So Lamborghini went super-cars and Ferrari tractors ("if they can beat us at cars we for sure will show them with tractors!"? :D)
Sorry for messing up :)

I like how it's "innovating" when Apple does anything. ...
I forgot about the "Superdrive!"
Clearly the DVD-burner is Apples innovation to!
I could go on but Slashdot got limited storage.
