Indeed! A fascinating, intriguing game wouldn't necessarily sell well either, but for some reason this is still the main metric for "accomplishment" in the games business.
Really? Scanning takes a fair number of seconds, then you need to lift the book in order to turn the page, set it down correctly, and start the next scan. Compare with: push button, turn page, push button. Limited pretty much by how fast you turn the page.
How many thousands of folks living on machinery must you punish in order to force (!!!) a few to reconsider.
How many people living on machines want to die vs. how many people take a bottle of pills in desperation? You're saying orders of magnitude more people want to take their own lives from a rational decision than from an irrational decision. I don't buy that.
Actually he only said that a significant number of homosexuals end up in that way of life due to abuse. Do you deny that?
I'm not the OP, but I'll deny that. I'd like to see some evidence for "a small number", never mind "significant". Saying it's "one of many" reasons does not make it valid. All of what you quoted is unsubstantiated, and half of it consists of weasel words. Any idiot can write shit like that.
And this device consistently causes hearing loss to recipients? Not only that, but isn't it equally "hypocritical" that people get fined for speeding, while police cars drive as fast as they need during a chase?
No, it's not hypocritical, those are two entirely different things.
Which, in all honesty, is a pretty stupid law. Its your life, if you choose to end it, well, that is your choice.
It's not that simple. How often do you see a fully rational person decide to take his own life after long deliberation and pondering? Making it illegal gives an opportunity to stop someone from making a really bad mistake. Do you suppose everyone who are stopped from committing suicide harbor ill feelings because of this transgression of their liberty?
Not only that, but that example just shows how the individual frequencies look. In a nutshell, the actual blocks in the picture are composed of sums of several of those little ones, so in order to make a puzzle like that you'd have to stack transparent pieces. Which would be pretty cool now that I think of it.
Indeed. And I don't see how science has had or is having a credibility bubble. If anything, science was undervalued before, and maybe even moreso now. Where there is a bubble, is with the credibility of scientists. But who cares about that, it's the results that matter in the end, not what individuals or organizations cook up in the meantime.
The only problem is that the results are time-sensitive, i.e. we'd like to have knowledge now and not later. Science will easily provide "later", but by pushing it, all kinds of politics and nasty business naturally starts to occur more than usual.
Outsourced work may be of lower quality than inhouse work, but I have to ask: is Indian subcontracting work of lower quality than American subcontracting work (or equivalent)?
I feel like I've seen that plane before, in a documentary on stealth aircraft. Is it based on an earlier, similar-looking prototype? The stunted tail compared to the wings and the chubby rounded upper fuselage rings a bell. The plane in the documentary would probably have been a manned craft, though.

Uh, either way the 35mm film is still better. Just because the content on it is crap doesn't mean the film is.
It is therefore unnecessary to keep the 's' in the truncated form.
Yeah, let's make a special case just to keep people guessing. The story of the English language...

Doesn't distribution necessarily involve copying?
You're right, they're not. Microsoft is a licensing company, the software and technology is just a side effect.
Then again, my GPS display is very simple and I like it that way.
Isn't that precisely the point of the article?
... and your post is no different. Any idiot, indeed.
You have fully grasped the situation.

You seriously need better earbuds that block out sound.
Hearing loss is bad if it is caused by MP3 players, but it's okay when it's caused by police using crowd control devices against innocent civilians.
How does hearing loss result from that?

Too much silence if even more distracting for some people, myself included.
That depends on how used to silence you are, silence being a rarity today.
Hell, my name has been in the title of a story on Slashdot before now.

There are all kinds of modifications that can be done, some of which sound good. But really, how much better can the discussion realistically get?

The OS specifies the existence of such sensors and provides an API.
Isn't the idea that they'll get the same wage, but do a better job? It's not like autism == dumb as a brick.

If a user randomly picks one from a forest of choices, but no-one is there to care, is there then any confusion?
Explain to me why they can't go to OEM's like Dell and convince them to install Opera?
Are you sure they haven't already?
