Ironic how apple is competing through litigation arguing patent infringement and then blatantly copies the Nexus S 4G earphone location (http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-galaxy-nexus/143389-headset-jack-bottom-yea-nay.html)
A real DIY-er would use a propane torch in that case;)
it's hard to match the precision with which even Ikea furniture is made.
Nah. Most of the IKEA stuff I've seen is just lipstick on a pig. It looks wonderful but once the table or dresser with a full load gets a "wiggle" to it, it's all over with. I've seen enough saggy IKEA stuff to know that I'm better off making it myself. A bookshelf made out of #2 pine and gorilla glue will outlast the IKEA equivalent by a factor of 10. You can do it for under $20 bucks if you borrow or rent a saw and a square.
I've had a gamut of issues with openGL support on linux over the years. NVIDIA was the easiest to get working and by far the best support (in my experience anyway) but was by no means bug-free. Intel drivers and chipsets remain schizophrenic at best and let's not mention S3 or other laptop chipsets.
Hopefully these guys can add some weight into the push for better video support from both Intel and NVIDIA.
When you just exist in life without really enjoying it because of disease, illness or other condition out of your control, every avenue of possibility to improve your quality of life looks appealing. It's unfortunate there were casualties but I'm sure there were also advancements made despite that fact.
Does it not use the standard gnome/gtk/... libraries? I've heard Unity sucks pretty bad, but if it requires special "ubuntu" extensions, that's just sick.
This would be and incredibly stupid move. One of the greatest strengths of code is that it's a shared, common language. You can easily debug someone's syntax on usenet/blog/whatever without having to know their native language.
Sure it's nice to localize and cater to individual cultures, but the reason computer languages are so accessible to beginners is because they don't need to learn the language through google translate. Ever try and debug HelloWorld() in Arabic?
I have never, ever saved a dime when changing, or re-rolling my contract. About all you have to look forward to is a price break on a new phone every two years. It seems the mobile carriers always have it worked out so that you can choose between being nickel-and-dimed to death in monthly data/text/voice charges, or slayed with the sledgehammer of monthly "premium data" contracts.
I've not removed the wires for my landline yet and still have an answering machine in a box in the basement in the event I go back to the 90s. I'm thinking it might be kind of nice to go back to not being jacked-in all the time anyway.
I know a few people who are really skilled technically, but choose that they want nothing to do with a relationship. Male and Female both. These people would have more fun trying to social the outreach program rather than taking it seriously.
wonder whether or not evolution has even started happening yet.
It's not as bad as the summary sounds. They had the rigs outfitted a little better than just an aluminum chair duct-taped to some ballon strings. Also, both of them had parachutes in case of emergency.
Do we really want the Internet to be an unstable place?
What makes you think it's stable now? Although I think "Cyberwarfare" is more media drama than actual warfare, networks could be doing a lot more to make them more secure. We don't becuase, users. Users don't want inconvenience. Users don't want two passwords (one email, one login). Users want their desktop on their mobile device. Users want access to confidential data on the same PC their kids play on. Don't get me wrong, without users there's no need for a network but things have gotten way out of hand with security.
I think it's a good sign that some places in the tech industry are starting to realize they could be doing better. Maybe they will finally get around to listening to real experts instead of paid-for marketing shills.

Entrapment is the FBI forcing you to buy drugs.
No, that's the old definition. I believe that's called SOP now.

His predecessor invoked much thinking as well however much of it prefixed, or suffixed with, "wtf?", "lol" and "lmao"

Must be a great piece of hardware if the only thing she found to bitch about is the packaging.
What's really bad about this is that a fast-food restaurant like McDonald's should, in theory, be the last place you might get food poisoning.
The reddit people must be here. this post is so far off topic it got modded insightful.

In other words, we didn't make it explicitly obvious to the user.

How is this news?
Sony article that doesn't contain the words "Leak", "Compromised", "Stolen" or "Litigation".
Android seems like a much more logical choice for hacker-friendly computing.

That is why Apple ditched EPEAT in the first place. Being able to disassemble toxic components "with common tools" is a requirement of EPEAT compatibility. Did EPEAT just magically excuse Apple from this?

"if you don't want to pay for something it doesn't give you the right to take it"
Like private data on someone's mobile device?
