The point is, this mode uses Gnome-Shell. I can't use Gnome-Shell on my Netbook, because i use external monitors with it in extend desktop mode and the intel driver for my hardware doesn't support 3d acceleration with these "large" virtual resolutions. So making Gnome-Shell look like Gnome 2 doesn't help at all.
If you don't follow the laws and rules of a country, you have three choices: go to jail, fuck off and live somewhere else or change the laws and rules.
Conventional photography means visible spectrum. I don't know of any metamaterials that operate on wavelength in the visible spectrum in a broad frequency band.
Every optical element shows some sort of dispersion. "Simply" to control when you have the space (like in objectives of real cameras, microscopes or binoculars) but not so easy when your optical element is a simple plate with parallel faces (like a protective glass cover) or a tiny lens. Combine a tiny lens with a tiny CCD and you're out of luck when you hit a difficult to control lighting situation. 8 MP on smartphone "cameras" with tiny optics and tiny CCD-chips is a waste of storage space anyway. You can't get the required optical resolution. Simple physics.
This was about connectors. When it comes to hardware Apple can be either conservative or drive the industry. For example they only recently moved to USB 3 on their laptops, quite a bit behind windows. While on the other hand they are super early with the whole thunderbolt conversion. That was true during the Jobs era as well.
LOL. That made my day. Guess what. Thunderbolt is driven by Apple and Intel and in competition to USB 3.
Call me when i can use a Intel GM3150 with a virtual desktop which has a width > 2048 px with gnome 3. And no, i don't want to bet my money on fallback mode not being phased out in the near future.
Just read the specs on that Google phone and compare it with still selling Galaxy models. Like my Galaxy Ace, which i bought recently (running Gingerbread 2.3.6). Do you think ICS will run in a usable way on that phone, when Google does not update their Nexus One to ICS, because the hardware is not up to it?
So why didn't i buy a Galaxy Nexus or Nexus S? Compare the price. My Ace came completely unbranded for 170 EUR, no strings attached. A Galaxy Nexus or Nexus S comes for about twice that price. And I already had to think hard about that price tag on the Ace.
Any socialist libertarian or anarchist will tell you that specialization of roles is not a disruption of equality.
Specialization will produce a position of power if your skillset requires a high investment to acquire it. High investment will make these specialists rare and not easily replacable, which they can in turn use to gain power.
The idea of a decentralized "army" is pretty ridiculous
You may want to read up a bit on how the anarchist militia organized in the spanish civil war. E.g. before going on a mission, squads would elect a squad member to be the leader for that particular mission.
If you hand out bigger "guns" and the internet becomes a warzone, everyone loses. The only way to keep it civilized is by handing out better "armor", making "guns" as ineffectual as possible. Since the military isn't interested in armor only and i don't trust them to use "guns" in a reasonable way (if there actually is one) i don't know why i should put me under their command.

Doesn't need to be a computer simulation. There already has been some research on how to model neurons in silicon. Just google it.

"Even ship propellers of more than eleven metres in
diameter can thus be machined with an
accuracy of a few hundredths of a millimetre."
Ok, it's made for machining casted propellers, but the dimensions come close :)
Didn't expect that comment :)
Was more interested in the "overlords = evil; 'greet' with superior firepower"-angle (and try to make a wordplay out of it), but ok :)
Things like nationality or physical location says nothing about first language (...)
Sure it does. If your nationality is e.g. spanish, chances are rather high that your first language is spanish.
I for one welcome our Korean overloads.

Last thing i heard of was NIR. And I'm still not convinced these approaches could be used for broad spectrum applications, like across the whole visible spectrum. That you use only blue and red light seems to suggest that as well.
Also, the Science and arxiv articles suggest it can only be used for cases where you can crank the illumination way up to compensate for metamaterial losses (like, in microscopy).

Trust me, we all see the problems in the world just like you do.
Then why isn't anyone doing anything about them?
Because they chose to ignore them and therefore don't suffer from them.

The whole Galaxy Ace range is not supported. And i see a lot of them around here (including my on Ace1).
