The egg came first; the first egg from which the first chicken emerged was laid by a bird that we would not fully classify as a chicken.
The actual resulting chicken was the result of a genetic mutation relative to the mother.
That is because popular opinion says that women can always get laid if they want to, and when they choose not to and use a vibrator instead, they are perceived as being discerning.
Whereas a man that uses a pocket pussy is perceived as a loser because "everyone knows" that he would rather have had the real thing.
Spears are tools too. Without tools, humans wouldn't be able to occupy our ecological niche. We are weak and can't run fast, have no natural armor, and have neither impressive teeth nor claws.
You mean where it says "Desktop Edition" with a picture of a notebook? That doesn't quite say: "To get a reasonable battery-life on your notebook, you need to install something else instead".
If non-ie browsers adopt HTML5, MS can actually get a partial benefit from losing market share. If more sites use HTML5-features, older MS software won't work with that, so users will have an incentive to drop older MS software. IE8++ may very well be available only for windows 7.
Not getting all the rights is stupid indeed, but the size and quality of the program is seen as less relevant than market share and associated current and projected future earnings.
Faster-than-light travel always causes causality paradoxes, so a priori, FTL drives are impossible unless special relativity is wrong. (That's is a bit like saying that perpetual motion machines are impossible unless thermodynamics is wrong.) The proposed mechanism behind the FTL drive doesn't matter -- it'll still cause a time paradox.
Just like we know any proposed perpetual motion machine must have a flaw, any proposed FTL drive must also have a flaw. They belong to the same class of impossible device, and deserve the same degree of consideration.
I am wondering why the extra space isn't used for (much more) cache, rather than for more cores. Especially because more software can utilize extra cache compared to extra cores.
Can someone convert this into Libraries of Congress Crashing into Mars at Escape Velocity per Cubic Cubit of Water (LCCMEV per CCW) because I don't have my calculator handy?
Oh yeah, first Troll using these intuitive units!
Can someone please RTFT (Read This Fucking Troll) and actually mod me up or down?
Even if they weren't monopolies or oligopolies, the vast majority of consumers would probably go for the "cheapest" ISP. "Cheapest" would probably imply: the one most "subsidized" by large companies. Subsidized probably means: relatively suppressing the little guy.
Well.. part of science is the advancement thereof. It is true that in software engineering it very often pays to follow proven patterns. However, if your aim is to be innovative, thinking outside the box does help.
...Why first world engineers and other knowledge workers need to get organized. If distance or language raise problems, eventually an entire company/industry will be relocated. Unfettered globalization will obliterate the first world middle class. If you are a first world slashdot reader that probably includes you!
A vanishingly small number of property owners combined with an overwhelming majority of day workers/slaves with fewer and fewer rights is what constitutes a third world country. Do we want the entire world to become like a third world country?
I am only stating the problem in very little detail and do not pretend to have the answers, but something needs to be done while we still have some rights, money and power. Some, yes, artificial, means will have to be found to preserve the first world.
I suggest we apply the principles of Open Source to the questions at hand. I have not heard anyone with a comprehensive solution but I am somehow convinced that if some of us we each contribute a small part this will result in a workable approach.
Some pieces of the puzzle would include mathematical models, a means of assembling the solution, economic data, psychological insights...and of course, bug reports(criticism).

hard X-rays to get the bandwidth we need?

..this time, most slashdotters actually RTFA.

1) Walk into a "legal" indoors area. 2) Wrap tinfoil around watch. 3) Parents: ???

1 and 2 can both be true at the same time, e.g. in vicious or virtuous cycles.

The size of the universe has expanded faster than the speed of light due to the expansion of space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe
Could you please say which medications they are?

Makes me think of those overpriced CEOs
..is a bad car analogy
Don't try this at home, kids..
If this brings us closer to using (possibly unreliable) windows drivers, a major reason for using windows will be gone.
It is called testosterone

In order to think outside the box of contemporary computer science.
They are just like dollars.. only embiggened..
