It may be true that things are taken out of context to some extent, but these people are still saying these things.
TDS and TCR aren't taking a quote like "There's no evidence that Obama is a racist who hates white people" and turning it into "Obama is a racist who hates white people". They are not hiding behind words, lying, or otherwise abusing the concept of journalism. They are no AP, or whoever, but they are ultimately honest commentators who call out when other people are being dishonest.
Also, a politician who says "I once believe this, but changed my mind because of this, and now I believe this", is promptly removed from office.
I've always had video game ADD, especially after I beat a game, it's usually impossible for me to touch it again.
HL2 is an excellent game, so it may just be the game, but I regularly return to make a stab at the remaining achievements. I agree that the concept has been around, but the modern, fleshed out version is new and certainly some definition of "revolutionary".
Huge numbers of people find it really interesting, and there's no way nerds would want to know about the beginnings of the most recent universal adoption to the entire industry, across all platforms?
Really? You don't think they have people just trolling and looking? Or perhaps more likely, some flawed, hacked together piece of software that attempts to do it automatically, with fingerprinting, or even worse, by filename?
Fair use rules need to be expanded to work with the digital world. Adding a whole song to a video of your team (of whatever) playing a sport will in no way impact the original piece of work, it is very clearly a derivative, and should fall wholly and completely under fair use terms.
All of the Big Content guys have sued or DMCA'ed anyone they possibly could, regardless of fair use. They constantly fail "checks" that people put online - work that is absolutely fair use, and it still gets DMCA'ed.
I submit to you that in this situation, it is far more likely Viacom (or whoever) merely submitted a batch of DMCA's through an automated process that wrongfully flagged the same fair use (in this case, permitted) case.
This is money grubbing bullshit. Counterfeiting and idea theft are NOT the same as personal use.
...Or you could deploy POE injectors. If you do a POE implementation, it should be a standard one to ensure it works right. Half duplex? Im not sure if normal POE does that, but if it does, I'll just run power. Wireless is already half duplex.
I obviously understand the difference between nuclear and conventional explosives, but why couldn't we use an equivalent amount of C4 to stop the leak? Isn't it about "resetting" the area, or are we talking about the insane heat generated, which will convert the sand to glass? I find that a pretty risky proposition.
Yes, I'm afraid I just don't understand. Citation needed.
The russian's have apparently done it five times or something.
It was featured on the Colbert Report a few days ago.
I don't see why C4 or some other high explosive couldn't work, and indeed, it makes me wonder just exactly who is in charge of this thing.
They should have two separate teams, who know nothing about each others existence. One is drilling the relief well, the other is trying to stop it at the end. Hopefully, they'll work that much harder if they think they're the only team fixing the well, even though BP appears to have a very lackadaisical attitude about it, but then again, all of my news sources are satire.
You would have a point if everyone else in the world was you.
You are not taking into account my experiences.
In my experiences, some random guy being stupidly sarcastic about the value of a study is a total goddamn idiot, who is questioning the validity, often, of the necessity of science itself in some way.
Furthermore, given a scenario, I would blindly (because you are otherwise correct in your rationalizations, even though its a strange assertion) go with a scientist over some random idiot on slashdot every time.
I don't think anyone would disagree with that - you can argue yourself into semantic hell otherwise. Meanwhile, us smart people will be writing things down so we can build on them, realizing that the implications of any given study may not be imminently evident.
Well, just because it isn't immediately apparent doesn't mean it won't eventually become good. The path of least resistance tends to be developed the most, and with the ubiquity of an OS like Android, we have an even playing field in tons of unrelated fields.
More freedom, more power, more control, are all good things. Don't like a feature?
Don't use it. Have a better idea?
Well, now you can develop your idea on:
Phones, tablets, set-top boxes, and cars.
I agree, I struggle to think of a good use for such things, but who knows - all you have to do is use it ONCE, and it was worth it. I've been in tight jams before, and said to myself "There must be a solution out there!", and there it was, in handy app form.
Maybe. We won't know until after it has been developed.
Personally, I think this is exactly something that NASA should be doing. NASA is about pushing the envelope, and this is just as good an envelope to push as any.
This sort of bleeding edge technology development is expensive and wasteful, so it only makes sense for the government to be doing it. Which isn't a bash against government (well, it sorta is), as that is what I want the government to do. Leave making money to the people.
Yeah... except we're still here. And don't give me that "For now" bullshit - even near-total devastation of the Earth, massive nuclear war, there will still be that 1% struggling on.
And I honestly don't believe it'll get that bad. We are fortunate to have people like you to watch people like me like hawks, so that all the alarms are sounded, and far away, in a distant room, a scientist bursts into an office and shouts "MR. PRESIDENT! WE HAVE GOT TO STOP USING OIL!", he gets thrown into jail, the public finds out, Britain has another revolution, France gets invaded, and so on.

You know, however you want to play it. Because you're the one playing it.
Do you work for Activision?

And get off my lawn!
I migrated from Opera. I sorta miss the complexity, but Chrome starts simple, and lets you make it complex.
Admittedly, the BBC should probably show much more bias considering the UK government.
Still, I want a citation of the Founding Fathers subsidizing newspapers. It would be great to crush Founding Fathers supporters.
... SUBSIDIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
I'd love to use this argument, but I can't find much evidence of this. Citation needed!
Websites are great and all, but they are apparently not the best way to motivate the people.

And what about people who don't use antivirus in Windows? What about Linux and Mac? What if my internet is just for my phone?

It even sounds reasonable.
Proof?
Oh, riiiiiiiiight. You have none. Until then, it what scientists like to call a (in this case, poor) "Hypothesis".
If only they would have asked you first.
I was definitely invisioning slotting my Nexus One into the side of my laptop, on the palmrest.
RTFA Fail : (
My N1 can use wifi, which gives me excellent speeds, but really hurts the battery.
There is also USB tether, but I can appreciate something like this. Very clean and modern.
Haptic feedback from your touchpad, plus DS-like features. Very sexy, and the only company who could get away with it would be Apple.

tl;dr: You're wrong, but you can't stop shouting.
And I say that with respect, good sir.
Loose fitting
At least three pockets, with at least one near the knee (hopefully not in an especially pendulous location)
Pockets that are designed to be actually used.
I keep my keys in my top right front pocket, which is big, my wallet in my lower right leg pocket, music player/cell phone in top left pocket.
Cell phone used to be in the bottom left leg pocket, but I got a Nexus One and got rid of my iPod promptly.
Interesting, but I don't think our only options are nuclear war or socialism.
