No because once you pass the event horizon there's no way to stop from hitting the singularity in a finite amount of time. In fact, doing *anything* other than free falling will make you hit the singularity sooner, including firing rocket thrusters in the opposite direction!
That a company should either: 1) Listen to what their customers want: just give us XP and fix its bugs instead of shoveling shiny new crap with stuff changed for no fucking reason other than to change it or 2) Make us *want* to use your new stuff, see: Apple.
Once again from the consumer point of view, I'm a huge believer in try before you buy. As soon as they enabled in-app purchase in free apps, I got rid of all my lite versions and converted them all to free with in-app purchase to enable full functionality. Now I know that may not be appropriate for all apps, but that was my solution to that problem.
Speaking for myself as an iPhone developer, I will not be adding this to any of my apps. Since I freaking hate them as a consumer I'm not going to then turn right back around and add them when I'm trying to make money.
I'd be more interested to see the percentages by scientific field. I'll wager that theoretical physics, you know the people that actually understand how the universe works on a deep level, and evolutionary biologists, the ones that understand how life works, are much less religious as a whole.
One of the most surprising aspects coming out of this rumor (which is complete and utter BS BTW, I wish I could get a job where I could just spout crazy BS all day, as opposed to just doing it for fun on slashdot:) is learning that people actually *like* Visual Studio? Who knew? I mean XCode has its problems, but I can't wait to get home after a day of working with VS and open up XCode and have some fun do iPhone coding.
Given the calculated ratio of photons to fermions during baryogensis the asymmetry is suppose to be even smaller than that, something like 1 extra particle of matter per 100 million if I remember correctly.
Yep, totally right, to each his own. Personally I prefer completely shaved for both parties for oral sex reasons. Neither one of us likes licking hair.
I dunno, I must be lucky but I've never had problems with razor burn, ingrown hairs, or itchiness from shaving "all over".
Well I completely shave, as does my wife, so I guess I'm a little weird then. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever been with a woman that hasn't been completely shaved. Also I'm sure it's fairly common amongst gay guys, too.
Do a good job. That's pretty much the only criteria I use to evaluate my fellow developers. As long as you don't make my job harder with your shitty code, you're OK in my book.
Actually that's not a flame. The only way to download the SDK is if you pay to become an iPhone developer and even if you did acquire the SDK through other means, you'd still need a certificate from Apple to actually run it on your phone. The only other option is to jailbreak the phone.
I mean besides drug lords in movies with suitcases full of hundreds? Wow you learn something new every day. The only thing I use cash for is dollar bills for the vending machine, and sometimes not even then, the one at the last hospital I was at had a card reader.
Yeah this happened to me last week and had a secure 8 character password made up of random letters and numbers. I'm not sure if it was a hack or maybe I just got sloppy and used that same password on some other site were I also provided my e-mail and they somehow got it that way. I'm not sure if I had the SSL setting enabled because when I went to set it, neither the http or https radio button was set. I had also just written up an automated perl server monitoring script a few days before that would use the account to send an automated message (via SSL) but that could have been coincidental, who knows? All they did was send Viagra spam to all the contacts. I immediately changed the password and also made the security question/answer nonsense since I can remember my damn password. Only check the mail from my Macbook or iPhone.
Uh, you guys do know who Bruce Tognazzini is, right? Oh I forgot, your average Slashdot poster living in his mother's basement had more insight into this than the guy responsible for the original Macintosh user interface guidelines.
The funny thing is that I almost got tricked into seeing the world premiere of the new movie. AICN was supposedly going to screen Wrath of Khan at the Alamo Drafthouse, but I showed up too late and just barely missed getting in, but it turned out it was actually the world premiere of the new one. Now they're trying to trick me into clicking on it on my hard drive.:)
I don't care if they put it on my hard drive, I still refuse to watch that damn movie. I'm sick to death of reboots, time travel, alternate universes, or alien smurfs in 3D.
If we are trying to make analogies to political systems, I posit that Open Source is more akin to The Culture, which is a post-scarcity, anarchist, socialist, and utopian society. Any part of The Culture can "fork off" at any time to form their own Culture and can also merge back in at any time. The Culture is nominally democratic but, in practice, controlled by super intelligent Minds. That's sounds pretty close to me.:)
Slashdot Mirror
*Only* 37%?
If any article deserves that tag, you think it'd be this one.
Practical homomorphic encryption is a fantasy
Anybody else first misread that as "homophobic" then "homoerotic" fantasy? :)

Or more to the point why didn't they make it that small to big with. Since all the guy did was cutdown a normal SIM card!
Fair enough, but why is the first thing to use it an *iPad* which is over twice a big as an iPhone with a regular SIM card? :)
What exactly is the point of MicroSIM anyway? To make it easier to lose?
In order words: "4.3 Billion People Live With *Good* IP Laws"
Why stop there? .6 rounded down is 0, so then they'd only need 0 votes to pass.
