Personally, I think the broadband penetration number ("our rank has fallen to #22") is a bit of a red herring because the US is far less densely populated than most other countries and thus perfect broadband penetration is not feasible.
No. There's countries with much less density and far better penetration, even in rural areas.
Perl attracts developers who take pride in hacking together "Works For Me" code in the shortest possible time using the fewest, tersest lines. Yes, you can do that in a C-like language, but Perl lets you get your "good enough" result faster.
For me, that's the strength of Perl. I don't use it for anything other than works-for-me type small tidbits of code. Will it require maintenance, or extending, or support by other people? Then I don't use Perl, because it's complex enough to warrant a strict language. In essence, text parsing and one-off scripts are fantastic, other stuff I stay away from.
By your standard, everyone should write in assembly since it's a great and very flexible language that doesn't impose undue restrictions on the coder. If the coder can't handle it, that's the coder's fault.
Or maybe not. You have to make an effort to produce non-mud in Perl. That makes it a bad language, even if it's nice and powerful to use.
In your case perl was the right tool, but in most cases it's the wrong tool, because it has been succeeded by better tools (and I don't mean pointy-clicky ones) for most cases.
That can't be enough to kill it, the easiest way to get around that is to measure the number of lines changed, instead of added. Still, changing a lot of lines is easy with a small regexp search and replace.
Sometimes her lips were a bit too smooth in some kind of transition between expressions. Also, she blinked too slow most of the time, or rather the eyelids blinked at the same speed almost every time... I would say I'd have guessed it was animation even if I didn't know. On the upside, it's really hard to tell exactly what's wrong, but something just isn't quite there.
It's possible to love it as a device, but not as a phone specifically. In particular, though I don't have one, I love the interface. But the rest of the thing I'm not particularly entusiastic about.
If a cellphone had a so called software error an over the air update would likely fix that .
I cant believe they wouldn't have pushed out that update by now if this were the only case
I have yet to see any cellphone whose software; firmware isnt upgradeable over the air automatically.
I have yet to see a phone whose firmware was upgradable OTA automatically. I think you mean optionally, or something. Moreover, a fix would be deployed only when it exists. Since it doesn't it's either not fixable in software, or they don't know how to fix it or what the problem is, or they're still working on it.
I would think that asking for permission before trampling on other people's property is the standard, thus it's private, not public. You don't have to ask for any kind of permission to go inside a shopping center.
Very good point. For me though, I want to play Bioshock, but I haven't touched it because the activation DRM just icks me out. And by not touching, I mean I haven't even pirated it, not even played a demo.
Other games I have pirated or copied from friends over the years, some I have bought later, some I never bothered. Like you say, the only excuse is lazyness, not wanting to pay since you can get away with it.

Judge Rules Man Cannot Be Forced To Decrypt HD
Indeed, this is a small step for HD, but a great leap for Man.
So your government doesn't spend on high-speed penetration, and companies don't spend either. What's your point?

This seems to imply that Apple products are so shoddy that extra warranty is always worth it... Moreover, warranty is not a substitute for quality.
Although, feeling safe can be as important as being safe. 200 people going into panic in the air is a crisis.
Or maybe you were joking...

This is idle.slashdot.org. You are wasting your time flaming here, because the whole place is meant to be a waste of time. Carry on!
You talk as if it's a mystery which parts they mean, and which parts they don't really mean (that much).

"Asking" in this case = "commanding".
That's the point: asking to leave is ok, asking to stop photographing is not ok.

But if you think google isn't good enough for a spammer, then YOU fail. Hah!

Anyway, this movie will probably be slammed by hordes of devoted fans, all of whom don't realise it's targeted to people 20 years younger than them.
Just because the contract exists doesn't mean that it's reasonably written, or even reasonable at all.
Not quite. If it really was the greatest for her, but she had a mask on that simulated the experience, it'd be accurate.
The fireworks were simulated, not faked, yes?
