Just buying a hardback or paperback and sticking it in a warehouse isn't going to do it. If they aren't cloth-based or special archival paper they will have deteriorated to dust long before the end of this century, no matter what the storage environment is.
I ran the app against my phone. It has locations that I would have only gone to on a recent driving trip. But it doesn't include the whole trip, and it includes locations that I have never been too.
So yeah, it is tracking locations, but is not very accurate. I'm not even sure it is doing it via GPS. It might be doing it via the towers, and the locations are where the base stations are for the towers. Maybe.
Streaming Netflix has NOTHING last time I used it on my Roku box. I only found some of the worst b-rated movies and documentaries and a tiny amount of semi-new releases. No Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark...nothing.
This. No movies from the last 5, or sometimes 10 years. The quality of Netflix "HD" content is almost, but not, as good as a DVD. The non-HD content looks really bad even on just a 46" HD TV, which isn't huge by today's standards. Pretty disappointing.
If they ever fix this -- have current movies at good quality -- then the bandwidth required will be HUGE. That could take some adjusting.
You have to be able to measure advertising. I like the idea of no DRM and such on the downloadable content as much as the next person here. But the reality is that TV creators must be able to measure how many sets of eyes see the adds, and what kind of eyes they are. TV ratings are not about which show is most popular. TV rating are about who's watching, and what value those viewers have to advertisers. Without metrics like "how many" and "what age/gender/ethnicity/etc" it is a very hard sell to advertisers that have limited budget to spend, and want to spend it on the best possible audience for their products.
This action is no more than a denial of service attack, and is no different that a script kiddie bringing their web site down. It will only turn real people against them.
Do these people really think that all these questions will be reported up the chain? There is no way this can make any difference.
To install Mozilla on my Mac, I just open the disk image it is shipped in, and copy the application bundle to the/Applications folder. No root required, no password entered, but software is installed. Lots of Mac software gets installed this way too.
I'm still not sure what being root gets you on a Mac, since I haven't found many files that my non-root-but-administrator-account can't open and modify.

This is the theory of abiogenesis, not evolution. Evolution is how life changes, not how it got started.
As a verb, as used in this headline, "sanction" means approve of. So the headline here doesn't match up with the contents of the post.
The headline, if it must use the word "sanction", should be "UK court levies sanctions against Apple..."
The network wouldn't be social if there was just one. It has to have someone to talk to so it doesn't get lonely.
I welcome our new bee overlords!
You get an airplane named after you at 1 million miles, if I remember correctly.

What timezone does this happen in? If UTC it has already happened, and SkyNet is just reading /. to see who's loyal and who to eliminate first.
Netflix has a client on Tivo, which is Linux. Netflix on Tivo looks like crap, but it is there.
Uh huh. This guy managed to predict EXACTLY what a laptop looks like, and South Park.

It never was.

It has been sailed over 110 times since 105, when it was sailed by a dude in a wooden boat. Wooden boat != icebreaker.

I got the email with the link, but the page the link points to says "No Download" where I presume the download link should be.
Well, they say anything worthwhile is worth waiting for, right?

And we've traded the legions of secretaries for legions of network and PC professionals.
Not a good trade.
