    It is far from being established that she was in fact using her phone while driving right before the crash. Depending on coverage and processing delays posts can take a while to go up when sent from a mobile, and on site accounts indicate that the sun was at a blinding angle as indicated by the defendant

    the windows paradigm provides instant feedback as to what the user has open and running, back in school (the last time i had the misfortune of being forced to use apple software for any length of time) it was very common to find machines in a barely functional state because students would leave nearly every application on the system running in the background with no natural indication that there were many apps running.

    windows 7 has moved backwards in this regard by making programs pinned to the task bar mix with and look nearly the same (sans buttony border) as open but minimized windows.

    mac hasn't been "for design" since os9, maybe os8, now it's for college students, aspiring writers, and people who worry more about what other people think about their computer then how useful the computer is.

    it would depend on the statute, it could very easilly shorten all currently running sentences to end on the date of implementation and it could expunge the records of anyone convicted under the previous laws, it could also not do so, changing the law does not make previous convictions inherantly invalid as those people did in fact break the law. when a court overturns a law everyone gets freed since the court is declaring that it should never have been illegal in the first place.

    Anonymous isn't really a group even. There are no eligibility criteria or member lists, anyone can claim to be an Anon and have just as much of a right to the title as anyone else. The odds that the person or people posting the sign ever even chatting with the hackers who broke in to hbgary are very low.

  22. Re:In other words on Online-Only Currency BitCoin Reaches Dollar Parity · · Score: 2

    the value of gold certainly has not been stable for centuries, as uses and demand change so does the price.

    basing currency on a random metal from the ground is completely asinine. rather than monetary policy set by experts, or politicians, or even corrupt businesses, it's set by whoever happens to find deposits of gold or own the land those deposits are on. since gold production and demand do not scale to population sizes the end result of a global gold based currency would be prices in miniscule portions of gold, and the locking up of a very useful industrial material in vaults to hoard money.

  23. Re:Scaling should not be affected on New Technique For Making JPEG Images Copy-Evident · · Score: 1

    my guess is if you upsample the image by a large amount, then blur it at the upsampled size, then sownsample again you will strip the signal out. high frequency signals like that are going to be rather fragile because they have to hide in a complessed image and there isn't much excess data space to hide in with a compressed image
