    Then they can edit them all together in chronological order to create "The Colossico Saga"

  2. Re:Why not open it up on Microsoft Ending Mainstream Support For XP · · Score: 1

    So one of those complaints is about the lack of an open development model which prevents people from making meaningful comment on released source code because it may or may not bear any resemblance to what's under dev. That's certainly a fair point of criticism, but it doesn't really apply to an EOL product, which has no development.

    Uh, this is pretty much a total derail at this point, isn't it?

    It was a prequel to Ico.

    I remember something about headers for the kernel being no longer available, but I just logged into my Apple Developer account and was able to download all the publically available source for the kernel for OS X 10.5.6 just fine: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.6/

    You could have just, I dunno, made one.

    **spoiler!!!**

    I wonder if Clarke chose that year because a craft leaving Earth in 2010 would arrive at Jupiter in 2012 and thus the Leonov would witness the birth of a new sun just as the world is ending!

  6. Re:Yup on Apple and AT&T Sued, Again, Over 3G · · Score: 2, Informative

    That was most likely AT&T's D-AMPS network, before they were bought by Cingular, and before Cingular was bought up by SBC which became AT&T. The brand names mean nothing in this case.

  7. Re:Touch users have to pay??? on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 1

    But minor Mac OS version (and other software) upgrades are free, as are non-Touch iPod firmware updates.

  8. Re:if they do that on Intel Threatens To Revoke AMD's x86 License · · Score: 1

    Sure, but this where .NET comes in handy. ARM doesn't have to translate .NET binaries since they run on a VM.

  9. Re:if they do that on Intel Threatens To Revoke AMD's x86 License · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why? Apple, Microsoft, and Sony (at the least) have all changed architectures without losing all binary backward compatibility.

    Not true. If another display is attached, they can go into clamshell mode. Or you can just install InsomniaX

  12. Re:I doubt it will work in DC on Use Your iPhone To Get Out of a Ticket · · Score: 1

    I once got a parking ticket for parking in a city that I have never visited by car. I imagine they copied the license plate number incorrectly, as it was dismissed without incident (only after I received a "final notice before we hunt you down and impound your car" letter)

  13. Re:Well, tips for other cities: on Use Your iPhone To Get Out of a Ticket · · Score: 1

    I have seen spots in Boston where the Handicapped Parking signs are 20 feet away from either end of the car and obscured by trees. After trying to navigate Boston roads and deal with Boston traffic while searching for a spot, it's really quite difficult to notice such a signage blunder.

  14. Re:Parking tickets on Use Your iPhone To Get Out of a Ticket · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Street parking time limits are meant to provide short-term parking for people to use for short visits to area businesses. The maximum time limit enforces churn.

    So basically, this site has nothing whatsoever to do with the iPhone except actually working on the browser. The screenshot shows that's it not even an iPhone-specific page.

    It probably ends up getting billed per kilobyte or something when romaing.

  19. Re:The album is on Spotify on Last.fm Shoots Down Rumors Over U2 Album Leak · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Last.fm "Techcrunch are full of shit" blog entry links to a little bit of digging done by Ars Technica showing that the leak originally came from a totally legit online MP3 store that started selling the album early.

    So yes, some or many of those could have actually paid money for a legal copy of the album.

    This is more or less the ARM process... license the IP and put it in an ASIC, except this is free.

    Yes, ARM ships soft cores, ST Microelectronics uses soft cores (at least internally), Altera, Xilinx, OpenCores. Here's a list so you don't search for "soft core" and find something totally different.

  22. Re:Hell yes! on Psystar Wins a Round Against Apple · · Score: 1

    IIRC, most of the Mac OS clones used Apple-manufactured or Apple-designed motherboards with slight modifications. There was a pretty extensive compatibility test that each model had to pass as well.
