1. The member of staff acted with prejudice towards sexuality, so I think the punishment is fair.
2. They were so dim-witted as to not figure out that they'd misheard the person, what with the GUIDE DOG AT HIS SIDE and all... they shouldn't be in that job, or have some serious learning to do.
3. It would be nice to see the $1500 go to a charity, but its their choice.
They pick stretches of road that don't have the opportunity to stop, or leave the road, and take your average speed.
So, they take one of the safest stretches of road and penalise people if they speed on it? Without wanting to condone speeding, surely it's a better idea to fine people for speeding in locations that are of increased risk or have a history of accidents?
I hate to pick on people, but seeing your command of English seems generally good here goes... irregardless is not a word. It's either "irrespective", or "regardless", not a redundant mash of the two as that would be redundant.
Sound advice, but thumb drives and such don't provide the extra insight of "cable bend". Further, the problem isn't usually knowing which way up the cable should be, it's "which orientation did the manufacturer decide to put this particular set of ports in" - and that's rarely ever marked.
What we need is self-plugging devices... then I'll stop complaining I promise!
Yes! Why on earth does it work like that? I try to plug a USB cable in, but it doesn't feel like it wants to go, so I invert it, and it still won't go. Then I frown and look down the end of the cable, decide once more upon the proper orientation, and whoosh, it fits.
Changing wifi settings is not needed - it is still 2.4ghz
The UK allows a couple of extra channels (12 and 13) that I believe you can't use in the US. It might be necessary to change some settings to allow use of these channels.
However, few APs actually use these channels, so it's unlikely to be much of an issue.
I appreciate that it's not meant for handling critical systems, but nevertheless, I wonder if its components are radiation hardened. In particular, what CPU has that thing got? Some sort of ARM?
You don't need a degree to know how to not be a dick head.
And to suggest that a journalist needs a degree and several further courses to be called 'a journalist' is a little bit a reach too. A lot of journalists didn't set out to be journalists.
Knowledge of the area in which your writing and a good command of whatever language the publication is in are key. As for ethics and such... well that depends on the publication.
But I agree with you with respect to the statement that anybody who just feels like mouthing off about a subject shouldn't suddenly be entitled to press credentials.
We had a power issue overnight (UK time) which seems to be leading to a few further problems for us. I might add, though, that an article of ours was posted on Slashdot only two days ago, with no ill effects whatsoever.

Touché good sir, touché.
Well, it's a good job this just happened, then.

(Yeah, that last bit was on purpose.)
Now if only they can create a perpetual motion device from the vibration motor, they'll have an infinite source of mobile power!

Truly an engineering masterpiece.
Point taken.
Xerox have done a lot of innovation in the past, particularly at Xerox PARC. They practically invented the GUI.
So although their claim might be a little... erm... aggressive, don't be too quick to dismiss them as a mere patent troll.
Two words: Bug testing

One of my (Jaunty) servers has > 0, and my Hardy desktop, which has Wine /and/ Crossover Pro installed, also has > 0.
So I'm not sure about wine always being an issue here (unless my wine install won't work for certain apps... I wonder)
I suspect YOU know that *I* knew that, but still, I'm disappointed that you got modded insightful and I didn't get a "funny" :(
Keep halving it and eventually you'll be in the present.
I had to write a basic kernel in assembly during my degree.
So I guess that counts as academic.
And by that I meant RTFA. I can't even type a one-liner properly for f\0
Yeah, I didn't even have to RTFM!
Which is exactly why I've stuck a flash drive in mine that I can run a USB cable to when I want to do some "backups to my modem".
Wink wink.
It didn't help that the survey was done using a flash app. Some might say that skewed the results somewhat.
It's got a "5V in" socket... so it definitely needs an external power pack. Of course there'll still be a bunch of regulators inside.

And the RAM... is it SECDED?

And of course that should have said "rather not"... only three whole keyspaces out.
