Funny, I remember Apple buying CUPS in 2007. Were they thinking about a fork for iOS then?

Export compliance is a serious business, and very expensive if you start to selectively manage what you export. Better just to put in a blanket statement like that and not have to worry (probably).
In my field it would be real time conflict detection between aircraft. The better your conflict detection, the more aircraft you can pack in to small volumes of space. There is a lot of money in that.
During early winter our yard has an almost 6-inch layer of leaves. If a service would scoop them up and take them away for free, they could use them for fuel. It would benefit 3 parties: us (leaf removal), the leaf processing company, and The Planet.
Even simpler: set them on fire. As a bonus, you get your house heated.
My company has an office in Beijing and some years ago they offered me the job to head up software development there. I turned them down because I didn't want my family breathing Beijing air for a couple of years. I ride a bike to work and in the past, China would have been the place to do that. Not now.
If you re-read TFS, he just said that popularity doesn't imply quality, and he thinks the iPhone is better.
Or TFA:
[android] can get greater marketshare and still be crappy
Listen I own android and openmoko phones. I am developing for both. A guy I works with develops for iOS and was impressed with the simplicity of the code written for android. Woz's implication about android is unfair. Its a shame because he otherwise has a reputation as a guy who will say it as it is.
I agree that that driver should not have been on the phone but what if you had been sitting in your car waiting to drive off. You try to use your phone to call for emergency services and it doesn't work...
You only need a powerful computer if you want to run the simulation in real time. From the point of view of the simulation that may not be necessary. I have my doubts about reconstructing the personality from a static analysis of the brain. A lot of the information transfer is serial so knowing what is connected to what doesn't tell you enough about the protocols they are using.
Makes me wonder if you could retrofit synapses with something which emits photons when action potentials change. I have molecules of Carbamazepine in most of my sodium channels for example. It gums up the works somewhat (thats the point of taking the drug) but if you could find something which diverts a bit of energy to make photons then you may be able to extract information in real time.
A slab of tissue — in this case, from a mouse's cerebral cortex — was carefully sliced into sections only 70 nanometers thick. (That's the distance spanned by 700 hydrogen atoms theoretically lined up side by side.) These ultrathin sections were stained with antibodies designed to match 17 different synapse-associated proteins, and they were further modified by conjugation to molecules that respond to light by glowing in different colors.
In case you were wondering, you have to be dead to be scanned with this technique, and it doesn't look like they will be able to press a button and scan a whole brain.
Back when phone books on CD first came out there was this notion that they had to have DRM so that you couldn't search for a number and get a name and address. People actually called that a "reverse search" as if you needed a different mode to grep that way.
Incidentally I recently changed the email address I use for slashdot to notify me of replies. Two days ago I started getting SPAM to that address. I don't think I have leaked it anywhere. Its just on my server in a.qmail file. The only other possible way it could be leaked is that I am using POP to load those emails on my android phone. Posting about this just in case other people are seeing the same problem.
May I suggest a one way trip to Mars? It could be an improvement. Either that or you keep your phone where the sun doesn't shine and get the benefit of a smaller surface area to keep warm.
Then we should replace the comment field with a link to google. imgtfy is used when a question is asked which google could have answered. I didn't ask a question.

Of course. Part of the skill of a good engineer is to ensure the parts fail as soon as possible after the warranty expires.
More effective than a $20 chair.

And you will be warm for the rest of your life.

But that will take a while.
Actually there's a public head of 4chan, too.
moot is probably immune to this sort of attack because nobody would believe he could persuade a woman to have sex with him.
Thats easy then just make up your own envelopes and start sending them to people.
Their top bras has a lot of air miles after all.
Top bras are the only ones I've ever seen.
You should ask Julian. He seems to be the expert.

Android isn't crappy and if you were honest you wouldn't say that it is.
Make it four X and you've got a deal.
Yeah whats the point arguing about the nature of god if some smartass just gives you his phone number.
Looks like an alternative solution is already there in the Kernel. The commands just switch it on.

I wonder if we are over that now?

How about gloves with little stylus bumps in the ends of the fingers? It just has to be enough to provide a reliable contact patch.
