7 shot in a magazine is fine. Any hunter that wants more is just to lazy to change magazines. In a home invasion situation, if you need more than 7 shots to take someone down either: A) you are a terrible shot and more bullets would result in more property damage than safety or B) You are dealing with someone with superhuman capabilities, who is probably green and you just got him angry.
My God will this be annoying. Canada has the worst rates when it comes to data. 6GB often costs $40+ ON TOP of a required minutes plan of some form. Most of the time people are getting 1-2gb and many (like myself) have only 250mb.
VOIP over mobile here is way to expensive to be economical. This will only be useful in a wif-fi area.
Google respects your privacy completely. They share nothing with 3rd parties of what they know about you. However, they do offer most of their services at little to no cost, in exchange for those services, they use what they know about you to better serve advertising to you and those like you. They are completely open and honest about that.
If you want google services without giving out any personal information, then you need to start paying someone to provide them.
You do realize why they don't support Canadian numbers right? They'd have to be classified as a telecommunications company. Then they'd be subject to CRTC regulations, foreign ownership rules, etc..
They got whatever licences GrandCentral had, but haven't bothered trying to extend them or renew them.
Entering into the Telecommunications market in Canada can be a scary beast, especially if you're not canadian. Wind learned all about that.
The municipality still owns the fibre. They lease it out. So the city should be making money off the infrastructure and the company will be making money off the individual subscribers.
Also a city is far more likely to allow for much longer term profitability than a corporation is. This will allow them to roll out the fibre to places that a corporation would ignore.
It is that easy. Call your congressman and senator. Get enough people upset about this that it might affect their election, then they'll start pushing for reform.
The trouble is, you have 300 million people, so the level of people being pissed needs to be rather high for anything to happen.
It could happen though, at one point alcohol was banned nation wide.
Unless he was playing with someone else's money and those someones demand the highest return from the poker game. If he's not willing to use the mirror on steve, they'll take their money to the player who will.
The solution isn't relying on the goodwill of players, it's removing the mirrors.
Of course he should be proud, he worked the system to maximize revenue. If people are pissed off at how much tax they pay, change the laws. Either make their foreign operations taxable, or make it harder for them to shift operations out of the country.
I can't blame them for wanting to pay most of their taxes in a country with the lowest rate, hell the cayman islands does very well enabling that.
Nice answers for the most part (except of curse for the cool hack question, kinda took a pass on that one). Little bit more than you would usually get from a corporate executive. Seemed to me like he answered the questions and got either a thumbs up or thumbs down from the lawyers.
Nice, however from my reading of the GPLv2, it would seem that in order to avoid having to provide the source code to anyone who requests it from you, you need to distribute it with the binary.
My suggestion would be to add a very simple downloader to the app that will download the source code to the phone's sdcard.
I have an ExoPC. It gets about 4 hours of battery life. With current x86 mobile chips, that's about all you're going to get without killing the performance
The surface pro isn't competing with the ipad or the android tablets. It's targeted to those who need to be able to run existing windows applications, but want the convenience of a touchscreen tablet. That's what I wanted when I bought the Exo and it's why I'm interested in the surface pro. I didn't expect as long battery life.
If Microsoft knows anything they aren't expecting huge surface pro sales.
Actually the maximum speed information can propagate is the speed of light in a vacuum according to relativity. Anything faster than that and you have problems of the results of events happening before the event from some points of view, according to relativity. Every experiment we have done to try and send information faster than light has come up short.
Some have suggested that it may be possible to get past c by doing it within plank time. Although one would have to be going pretty close to c already in order to do that.
I remember reading something very similar in the Star Wars technical commentaries on hyperspace and the actions of tachyons if they had mass. Obviously they didn't go into the math, but if this is the first time anyone tried this it's very surprising
I've seen it. And the blood was the horrible part, but I don't remember the cameraman following the action so much as just leaving the camera pointed at the same place. I figured it was on a tripod (it was a press conference) and so the cameraman just didn't do anything (or maybe even looked away)
I saw the video. Honestly, it's pretty tame. The camera is far away so you don't see many details, just the guy pointing something to his head, then falling down. Fact is we've all seen JFK's head blown open so something like this isn't too shocking other than the fact it was live and a suicide. I feel sorry for the guy's family more than anything, they shouldn't have to see this once, let along the number of times it will show up on the internet.
Yeah we had the same thing in our last municipal elections here in Peterborough Ontario. Worked well, probably because it wasn't large scale. The paper trail is the important part. The problem is not the machines counting the votes, it's the machines also recording the votes for you. I'll mark my choice myself thank you very much.
Well in Canada we do factor in error. It's called spoiled ballots. And the election is not a statistical analysis of the votes of the population, it is the actual votes. There is no margin of error. You mark your ballot with an X in the proper bubble, which is beside the name and party of the candidate. It's nice and big and so is the name of the person. There are many signs at the polling station that tell you how to vote in very easy to understand pictures and the people running the polling station can easily tell you how to do it without referring to any candidate. If you mess that up, your vote doesn't count.
Margin of error puts the onus on the system. For an election to work the system must be held to a standard of infallibility and that all errors fall on the voter, if it's found not to be the case and is significant to have possibly affected the outcome a re-election is called.
So the margin of error is factored in, but more is taken into consideration than a mathematical equation.
Right now the cost of game development makes it hard to play to a smaller market. The major distributors and studios are loath to invest in something that won't appeal to the largest market possible. Indie games are starting to get some traction but it's a long way off. The games industry is the same boat the movie industry was in the 50s. The big studios control and squeeze every last dime out of the product, and they don't take chances on anything.
What we need are a few star developers to step in and push for a larger piece of the pie and then spread that around to indie stuff. Just like the bigwigs in hollywood do right now. Those multi-million dollar pay-cheques the stars get don't all go into their pockets, a lot goes to niche projects
Actually streaming is exactly what he wants to use. He doesn't want to pre-download what he or his friends might want to watch. He wants to just sit down and find out if he can watch x as soon as it pops into his head or his friends suggest it.
In the automotive analogy, it's like he's driving down the road and he or his passenger wants a hamburger, but he has to check 3 different maps for Wendy's McDonald's and Burger King to see if there's one at the next exit. It would be easier if he could just check one place.
What's interesting is that no one here has the same argument for books. I have paperbacks that are falling apart. My only option is to buy another copy.
Just because you bought it before doesn't mean you have it in perpetuity. If you don't maintain your copy you lose it. What is bad is restrictive DRM keeping you from backing up
I'm currently in a class called internet investigations where we are doing exactly what is described. aggregating information about a target to build an accurate picture of who they are and what they're doing. We mainly use google (my professors words "Google has made the investigators life so much easier, 15 years ago you needed high level access to gather this kind of information, now it's just the right search terms")
At the moment the FBI doesn't care, but the minute they have some reason to suspect him of ANYTHING, they will be on him like white on rice and looking directly in all the areas he could have hidden anything, and with documenting his life to the degree he's doing, the places they'll look will be very intrusive
This is why I don't trust Certificates I haven't generated myself. In fact my prof for one of my security classes (I'm in Computer Security and Investigations at Fleming College) actually told us that untrusted certificate situations are more trustworthy, as the majority of attackers will go about getting a certificate through fraudulent means to avoid the scary pop-up window.
Of all the posts, I never disliked a CmdrTaco post. You are/were the soul of this place really. I'm not sure where the site will be going, but this news just makes me feel older. I'll miss the slashdot of old and hopefully I'll feel just at home as it moves into the future.

The trouble is that any app that shows ads, requires internet access to get the ads.
One of the major revenue streams in the android market are those ads as android users are much less likely to pay for an app.
What Google needs to do is separate the ad internet connection from any other internet connection.
