IMO, the iPhone app store is probably the single biggest innovation of the iPhone...and it's not even a technological innovation so much as an assertion that things should be done the right way for a change. Here in the states as well as abroad, Apple used its power to strong arm their cellular partners into acting the way they should act - as an INFRASTRUCTURE provider.
Cellular companies have always been very short sighted about their role with respect to applications at the end point. They would push crappy applications (cellular companies don't know how to develop mobile applications!) to the device via tightly regulated network access and the result was a horrible customer experience. Thanks to the iPhone app store, those days are coming to and end. The fact that Verizon (historically one of the WORST culprits) here in the U.S. is allowing unfettered access to Android Market is indicative of this fact.
The App Store was the only innovative thing iPhone brought to the table!
Any phone can run crap that you dig up from god knows where that may or may not run reliably and you install in some arcane way. The innovation of the iPhone was that Apple used it's cache to strong-arm the wireless provider and be the first platform to provide an organized and easy way to deliver/deploy REAL applications to the device that leverage wireless bandwidth. Prior to iPhone, applications were either UTTER CRAP developed by the wireless provider in an effort to scrounge supplemental income or fringe hack stuff that you had to be an expert on the underlying hardware and software to install and use.
Happy Thanksgiving!
...see somewhat verbose comments than none at all. However, a good developer should be able to provide very clear and concise comments and let the code say the rest. I think this is what the original post's point is - of the code is not concise and clear, the comments won't be either.

I agree with the above poster...if anything, modern media and political correctness (ESPECIALLY here in the U.S.) have been pushing misandry more than anything...it is a big part of our culture now.
Look at the lineup at any major television network...at *least* one show with a fat, lazy, jerk husband hooked up with a beautiful wife who puts up with his uselessness for no apparent reason. If you see any males portrayed in a positive light they are usually gay.
Is setting up free trade ILLEGAL...does it involve vandalism or physical violence? Furthermore, if the police targeted ANY group that wasn't known to break the law or encouraged it's members to do so it would be wrong and NO ONE would be "comfortable" with it - but what does that have to do with my point?! Nothing whatsoever.
"dossier" and "profiling" are hype terms designed to inflate the scare factor of your lame argument. Ever heard of a criminal record? I suppose that's a "dossier", huh? What about police who break up a gang fight and corral up all the folks in the area wearing gang colors...that's gotta be "profiling"! How we will EVER survive as a society with this going on!?
First of all, I agree with the point that the government wanted the tape primarily for the purpose of uncovering additional parties to the protest...not the actual perpetrators of the vandalism to the car or those that caused the injury...
BUT
Since when is vandalism and violence a "Constitutional right"? If anything, the folks on the video make a living of depriving OTHERS of THEIR constitutional rights!
The protestors that show up at these economic summits (self proclaimed "anarchists") are basically a waste of space. Very few seem to have even a basic understanding of economics and appear to show up at these things simply to destroy (other people's) personal property, confront/harm anyone trying to keep the peace, and generally disrupt society!
Call me crazy, but I think there SHOULD be dossiers and profiling of people who are affiliated with these kinds of groups (and I use that term loosely) in an effort to ERADICATE any such groups!

As evidenced by the very naive points brought out in the summary - the article may be interesting, but lacks any practical insight.
If you want to hack into systems to make the world a better place, hack into your own systems and report your findings or get a job with an organization that hacks into systems for pay.
The predictable liberal-nonsense point that has been wrenched from the article is that people in general are too stupid to figure things out on their own and in order to protect them from theselves we must strip them of their rights (temporarily, mind you) so we, the brilliant ones, can shine the true light on things. Unfortunately, this is a viewpoint many Shlashdotters embrace.
I agree that these innovations seem to be more regional than religion based. However, I was suprised not to see Algebra (the word is derived from an Arabic term which I don't recall) in the top 20!
Conservative is a relative term.
Here in the U.S., double standards and Political Correctness (which is really what the laws in question are trying to enforce) are typically meted out by what we refer to as liberal elitists. The hallmark of this group is the conviction that most people are too stupid to think or act on their own - this extends to speech, how people spend their money, how people run their businesses, and virtually every aspect of personal life (except for personal sexual practices and drug use/abuse, which they tend to tolerate...strangely).
...to me that we have DOH agents harrasing harmless people in local libraries yet our borders and local communities are saturated with illegal immigrants - most of whom are contributing to a complete collapse of social programs across all Federal, state, and local levels!
Enforce the friggin immigration laws and EVERYTHING becomes much easier. I'm all for LEGAL immigration (and perhaps the laws need to be modified a bit to allow easier access to people who don't mind pay taxes like the rest of us and who aren't criminals), but we should be spending more money and effort on stamping out illegal immigration. This would go a LOOOONG way toward meeting the DOH objectives as well!
The above post misses the point entirely. The constant assertion here is that Dubya is responsible for everything that happens in government (and even the world), and it's ludicrous. Your obnoxious corrections are typical of not being able to see the forest for the trees.
According to the Government, COTS software isn't stable/reliable or isn't suited to Government purposes as-is. It must be customized because the Government "does things differently". So we get systems like the proposed Air Force solution where things are modified in hideous ways to do things the way the Government thinks they should be done. This results in little innovation, no competition and ghastly maintenance fees down the road for us taxpayers.
*sigh*
The Government has been yammering about using COTS and changing business processes to adapt for years now. Maybe one day the government will TRULY believe that it should learn lessons from the private sector and implement based upon private sector best practices...
They root for Kerry because the only media they get stuffed in their face is derived from U.S. sources
I recently traveled to Italy and EVERYONE wanted to know who I was voting for - they all wanted Kerry to win. However, after a 5 minute discussion with someone who has a DIFFERENT (btw Slashdot has a huge "lemming syndrome" problem when it comes to politics) opinion they seemed more open to both sides of the election.
Everyone hates a strong leader - that's why Clinton was so popular.
...On one of the last plays of the game the Redskins scored to take the lead.
AFTER the play had been completed a flag was quietly tossed in the backfield. A flag that was thrown for absolutely no visible reason - look for yourself. That flag effectively ended the game for Washington.
We're not talking about a "bad call" we're talking about a call on a game winning play after the fact that was fabricated.
Could it be that professional football has lowered itself to the level of the media at large and indeed the frenzied and violently vocal anti-bush lemmings? You decide...
...are two totally different things. Policies are often in conflict with the law, and both are often updated or scrubbed.
It's annoying to see so many people hide behind policy (and law also) when it's really about common sense...and how people should behave and treat one another in the real world.
Sure...there will always be sad little people who spend more time worrying about what other folks are up to...and they will rationalize in whatever way possible...like decrying the tragic fate of "THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA" (give me a friggin break)....they are also typically people who feel that they themselves are always 100% beyond reproach......but I suspect those people will be very lonely until they learn how to live on the playground.

What a load of crap.
A "superior player" doesn't need cheats any more than top baseball players or Olympians need steroids.
As a matter of fact....it's an easy argument to make that INFERIOR players are the ones who need to leverage cheats.

COMPLETELY missed the point I made.

I agree with the above post..."The Daily Show" does seem to get things terribly wrong wrong without anyone helping them...quite often...
I agree that these innovations seem to be more regional than religion based. However, I was suprised not to see Algebra (the word is derived from an Arabic term which I don't recall) in the top 20!

What is this "pension" thing they mention in the article?

The website states very clearly that the system is not subsidized by the city in any way.
This is a typical Government move...
According to the Government, COTS software isn't stable/reliable or isn't suited to Government purposes as-is. It must be customized because the Government "does things differently".

This is, perhaps, the best post I have ever read on Slashdot. Simple, concise, and undeniably true.

Kerry would probably approve of the process you outline above...I mean...he just wants to "get everyone together" right?
Better idea: Let's bring all coutries in the world together and force them to do whatever the majority lemmings want to do.
