A very interesting historical artifact. History/geography and most of the math questions would still be good for a modern day entrance exam, but translating into Latin and manual numeric math problems (cube root by hand, et al), who gives a shit?
That's what I did. I bought a super dinky POS tablet for $82 off of newegg just to have something to develop on since I could care less about actually using the thing. Since I'm primary an iPhone developer and user, it was a good way to get my feet wet. Personally I find it a horrible platform, but if my client's want a version of their mobile app I'll just slap something together with a cross platform API.
Well it can't be that difficult to get around the ban for devices that use the technology for heating by just making the devices emit in the infrared instead of visible light. Like say painting the bulb black for instance?
Right everything would be so much better if it were handled by the dumb shits in the private sector instead, right? Enron, AIG, Goldman Sachs, BP, HMO's etc. I think the root problem are "dumb shits" in general.
Not that I really expect any sort of editorial checking from Slashdot anymore, but the name of the town is Beebee. I should know, I grew up just south of there, and I was in the area over Christmas visiting my family. We left the day before this happened. There were strong thunderstorms the day we left, so that might have been the cause.
There is a reason the rich are rich. They are smarter then the poor people.
God I wish I had mod points on this thread, because this is literally stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard in my life. So I guess that means you're a homeless person then?
Yeah but a subtle point is the bacteria probably didn't *originate* under those conditions. The bacteria more than likely evolved from bacteria living in more life friendly conditions.
To all the inevitable pedantic responses about it not "really" happening 30 years old, I'll be even more pedantic.:) Relativity of Simultaneity, look it up. It's absolutely meaningless to talk of the temporal ordering of space-like separated events. In some suitable reference frame, it "really" did happen 30 years ago.
I have setup several Hackintosh's at home for my family, a dell 9 mini and a couple of desktops, and I have to say it's just not worth the time and effort. I should have just bought a Mac mini and a Macbook that "just worked" out of the box.
Actually let me amend that, it is worth your time if your time is worthless.:) The money I could have made (as a freelancer contracter) in the time it took to setup and support them would have more than offset the cost of a real Apple machine.
The WiFi API is private that's why those types of apps were rejected. Believe me I know, we had a game based on finding WiFi hotspots we wanted to port from the DS, but didn't because we knew it wouldn't be approved for use of private API's.
Private API rejections are one of the rejections that actually makes sense. In those cases, you need to argue for Apple to make the particular API public rather than for them accept apps that use private API's that the company has no obligation to maintain compatibility for, so could change at any time, breaking your application.
I first misread that as Gary *Larson*, I'm sure his idea for a merged traffic sign would've been much more humorous, perhaps involving talking animals in an incongruous situation of some sort.
I didn't realize that natural light was more abundant in small European countries than, say, any random spot on the surface of the Earth. Do the rest of us live in caves or something? Or have curtains not made it yet to small European countries?
I wouldn't say that rare. If you get a sports car, you'd be dumb not to get manual transmission. For example, 90% of Miata's are sold with manual transmission.

Yeah, but that's exactly why they *are* profitable. ;)
Doesn't look like the app I did for this guy was listed.

Since they've already given out two Nobel Peace Prizes for "not being George W Bush" (Gore and Obama) stands to reason a third would be in order.
Man, just think how awful of a President you have to be that people get prizes for being the exact opposite of you.
Helium 2? What universe are you from? One where the strong nuclear force is 2% greater?
So this a personal appeal from Wikileaks founder Jimmy Wales to stop buying apps then?

Once we get super intelligent AI minds all we'll need are slap drones and social norms enforced by convention in our post scarity, anarchic Culture.

Don't fall for it Julian!
