Apple wants no interpreted code so there is no way any software can get onto the iPhone that they haven't approved
Apple wants no interpreted code so there is no way any iPhone software can be used on another phone that they haven't created.
Fixed that for you.
We agree that Apple wants control over their hardware. I don't think that is their primary motivation here, as there is nothing I've seen to imply they might not later provide the interpreter and allow (Apple-approved) apps on it. In fact, provided that they can create a secure interpreter, it is in their interest to do so. They just haven't had time to create that interpreter yet.
It's obviously not a conspiracy, but so what? It is completely wrong.
They were hoping for shots of his wife, instead found some child porn, and suddenly because caped crusaders instead of the low-life porn thieves they were.
They are paid to install DVD drives and don't have an OTS test disk that they burn? Bullshit. This is an excuse made up after the fact, and the cops are only too happy to catch this guy - why question a convenient excuse about a process they don't really understand anyway.
And you're willing to throw away your rights for a PC upgrade. I hope you don't vote.
He only has to register as a tipster and report data *once* and then he's effectively got carte blanche for having illegal content on his PC for all time. Clear the logs every few days (to save on disk space! really!). Never report it again. There's no reason any personally identifying information would be on that laptop, and no reason for him to use it for personal internet traffic.
I'm not saying it's not a risk, but you don't think the Feds look just as hard at proxies?
It's a brilliant plan. After Armageddon the seeds from the vault will produce plants that don't go to seed, and then next season we'll all be forced to buy them from... wait a minute.
Manalapan's attorneys are simply asking Google to establish whether Moskovitz was telling the truth when he denied he was the blogger in court papers related to the land deal lawsuit.
If it's so simple, why don't they subpoena for the ex-mayor's PC and make the determination that way? Maybe because they can't? Maybe it's too much work? There is no reason an anonymous blogger needs to be outed so that they can make a determination of whether the blogger was one person.
Maybe they really do want to know who the blogger is and if it happens to be the ex-mayor, all the better.
socks and flipflops in the winter stylish cheerleader types
Getting my day off to a good start by insulting little girls, but I don't think I've ever seen the words "socks and flip-flops" in a sentence with "stylish cheerleaders".
Except maybe as "stylish cheerleaders were snickering at the nerd in socks and flip-flops."
so if you've ever listened to anyone you don't know personally (and somehow can trust his/her expertise), you have let an anecdotal evidence influence your judgment
Stepping away from the strictly anecdotal argument, I think the biggest difference between Slashdot and your example is that it doesn't make financial sense for a company to pay someone to talk to groups of people at a bar. On the other hand, it can be very profitable to put "anecdotal" evidence where tens of thousands of people will run across it.
This is the apathy that represents a large part of the problem. You can pick any aspect of running for office and make the argument that your friend or your income bracket or whoever can't do it for whatever reason. By your argument they should charge $2,500,000 and require that you descend from Rockefeller because you can't meet those requirements either.
The reality of the situation is that while most people could afford to run for (at least a Democrat-backed) office, they would prefer to drop the money on an HDTV and a monthly cable bill. If only they could set up a monthly payment plan with the RNC.
How does he plan on syncing the frames? No mention is made of this, and all examples are taken from static environments. Disparity maps are all but useless if there is much change in position (e.g. on a moving vehicle) between frame acquisitions.
Remember that this is a financial analyst, not anyone associated with the company. While he is no doubt only responsible for a limited number of companies, little information is given about his technical background. We can most likely assume he has little to no experience in software development. For him, "porting" could very well translate to "the versions are being developed in parallel and the PS3 version is taking longer".
But as you said, it is far too early to blame the PS3. The article even states he's guessing.
I think everyone is missing the point. A couple of the brighter kids will quickly work to get around/through the filters, and the next generation of geeks will be born.
We gave them computers, now this will give them motivation to figure out how they work. Porn is a pretty universal carrot.
The article you're searching for is this one relating to the new Land Warrior system. It also quotes a Marine as saying that "All guys bitch and moan for a while about new gear."
Don't get me wrong, I still think this is a horrible idea. Assuming you get over having a feedback mechanism implanted in your brain ("augmented by an alerting system that literally taps the wearer's prefrontal cortex to warn of furtive threats detected by the soldier's subconscious"), and having pounds of electronics strapped to your head and wired to the binoculars, you still have this:
That prefrontal cortex, he explains, allows the brain to pick up patterns quickly, but it also exercises a powerful impulse control, inhibiting false alarms. EEG would essentially allow the binoculars to bypass this inhibitory reaction and signal the wearer to a potential threat.
Honestly? You really want every flying piece of 500-meters-away-tank-shaped-dust to register with your vision system as a potential threat? Nothing is going to make a soldier turn the system off faster than false positives.
I'm surprised that no one seems to be considering the possibility that Vonage would say this to give themselves an easier time getting a permanent stay granted.
Steps to fight patent infringement:
1. Get a temporary stay granted to buy time to investigate the viability of different workarounds.
2. Discover certain workarounds and begin R&D to implement them. This is to hedge against the possibility of a court loss.
3. Say "It's impossible!" and seek a permanent stay. You're already in court, at this point the money is trivial vs. reimplementing your whole system.
4. If the permanent stay isn't granted, seek a settlement. Draw this out as long as possible.
5. If the settlement costs less than the redeployment of your entire network, do it.
6. If not, by now it is a few years later and your new technology is ready to roll out.
What reason would the judge have to grant a permanent stay if Vonage said "Well, yeah, we have a workaround, but it would cost a lot less if we could just get a permanent stay granted, what do you say?"

You don't attract any attention from clients by giving them the same thing as Geocities or Angelfire.
You say "We must be crazy! This is so awesome for everyone else!" loop them in, get your numbers up to critical mass, and then change the terms of the contract to increase your cut of advertising revenue.
This, this and other minor studies seem to suggest otherwise. It seems that the brain doesn't do as well at multitasking when it has to infer all social information about a conversation from a low-quality audio stream. Doesn't seem very surprising when expressed that way, does it?
Are you sure they're field rendering? You don't explicitly state what hardware you're referring to. They could be taking steps to prevent flicker, which at least requires more than simply rendering half.
Can three of my friends come over and play on my PC?
the number of people dropping in coins compared to the number of people walking by is generally quite minimal
There is no easy way to compare the two options you're talking about while staying within the street performer analogy. The closest I can come up with while staying within the model is a "toll corner" where people would have to pay to continue to walk by you on the street after a period of say, 30 seconds. I think you reach more people by allowing them to listen and to provide what they feel is an appropriate compensation.
Giving the reviewer the benefit of the doubt and assuming he's working in metric or some other alien measurement system (joke!), all you have to do is look at his answer to determine how off-base he is. I'm assuming (since I can't see it) that the triangle ABC is named by its three vertices, A, B, and C.
If you have a triangle where the shortest side is 4, no line from any of the vertices to anywhere on the opposite line could possibly be less than 4. Anybody else see a different answer?

No, no, no. It works on the same principle as generating power with a windmill on the roof of your car. The law of inverse thermodynamics.
Fixed that for you.

I think you misunderstand how this might go.
