I would LOOOOOOVE to be able to install Android apps and then click no on that popup after the fact. Because adding unnecessary permissions is a favorite activity of Android developers. Phone owners should be able to change any permissions on an individual basis at any time without rooting the phone.
You should also consider Black people getting arrested for things white people don't get arrested for, and profiling (checking Black people for criminal activity more often or closely than white people).
There also needs to be some clarification of how the numbers can be compared since the apple numbers are for a three-year period and the Google numbers are "per year, per Android device".
If you want videos to be a hit on Slashdot, any person in the video should be a better-than-average-looking female, preferably one who isn't conservative with her clothing. All people in the video(including the one demonstrating the technology) should be shown as little as possible, unless they meet the aforementioned criteria very well. The product should be shown in action as quickly as possible to accommodate the widespread attention disorders (so many people have 4-minute videos that show the product in action for 30 seconds at the end).
If you're showing a product everybody likes anyway, less women are necessary. If you're showing a product that makes everybody wonder how the product made it on the site, more women are necessary.
Bonus points if you can find a hot East Asian girl willing to bash China.
If you want to get a message out to people, you have to be on Facebook or Twitter, where the people actually are. But Slashdotters hate those sites because you can't mod people's comments away when you get upset.
Well, the "anonymous coward" seems to have already explained what I was saying but I suppose I can try again too. This has nothing to do with the understanding of aperture that you think I lack. My point is, as the picture gets smaller, displacement of light becomes less of an issue because the pixels are all getting closer together and consolidated anyway. So the light could hit several pixels from where it was supposed to and still end up consolidated with the same pixel it would have if the camera had been focused in the first place. So if you have to go from a high megapixel count to one megapixel, you really don't need this fancy technology. But you got your +5 Informative for your explanation of a basic camera concept so all is well in the world of Slashdot.
So you're limited to a 1-megapixel image? If that's the case, I bet I could take a blurry 12-megapixel picture, resize it to 1-megapixel and sharpen it, and it will look just as good. But the camera will cost less.
It reminds me of years ago when my brother bought a Sharp Zaurus. It was our first experience with a Windows operating system on a handheld organizer, Windows CE. It was also the first time we saw a handheld organizer lock up. It's amazing how Microsoft can get car companies, who are trying to earn a reputation for quality and reliability, to put this software in their products.
When my car decided to only do second gear, they replaced a speed sensor on the transmission. It looks kind of like a power cable to me. It fixed the problem. Unfortunately it's not considered part of the transmission so I had to pay for it even though the transmission had been installed probably less than a month before that, and was still under warranty. But the repair was less than $100 US I think.
Slashdot needs a Like button to replace the mod points altogether. It should be possible to mod up things you like, but not possible to mod things away that you don't like.
They need to categorize the students before evaluating the teachers. One category should be students who absolutely refuse to learn (headphones on in class, throwing paper balls, walking out of class). Another category should be students who prevent other students from learning (vandalizing the school, bullying, fighting). And the third category would be those students who are actually trying to get an education, regardless of how well they do it. Then evaluate the teachers performance with those three groups separately, so the teacher doesn't get a poor evaluation because the class is full of thugs and another teacher doesn't get a high evaluation because the class is full of Doogie Howsers. I personally think the students should be in separate classes based on the categories too, with the ability to switch categories based on behavior.
Never mind the protocol failure. If I'm reading this right, and it is right, then it seems the real problem is the W3C is attempting to create a standard designed to make web browsers accept third party cookies even though the user sets the browser to not accept any third party cookies. Now we'll need a setting to not accept third party cookies and another setting to really not accept third party cookies.
From a progressive point of view, I think it makes perfect sense. The more access to the "real world" these people have, the harder it will be for the echo chamber to hold them.
How long can they remain "backward" if they are able to see the goings-on of the world around them? The fundamentalist mindset you're complaining about requires an echo chamber. This is why cults always cut themselves off from the outside world. The outside world provides too much evidence that the crap they're being fed by their chosen David Koresh or Jim Jones is just that, crap.
I honestly think that getting high-technology out into the country would be a progressive's wet dream. The rural parts of the country are so staunchly conservative in part because of their isolation. I suppose one could argue the opposite, as well, that people in urban areas are more progressive because they're forced to live in close quarters and thus have no choice but be more tolerant of those different from them, whether in looks, opinions, religion, etc.
When I was in high school, there was a Catholic grade school that fed into our public school. It was funny watching those kids, in just a few months, go fucking crazy with the freedom to act and dress that they never had before. Ditto with the kids coming in to our "city" school from out on the farms.

No you haven't been told that. You're just the jackass who started the inevitable thread that uses this to bash people different from you.
The operating system should be sending "dummy" data instead of no data for these requests.

The one we have out here actually has a sunny sky painted on the ceiling with a few clouds, so it always looks like daytime.

Hmm.. as I type this, I've been modded 50% Troll and 50% Funny. But I was 100% serious...

The only reason you care at all is because the guy who got shot is black.
The only reason so many people on slashdot are defending the killer is because the guy who got shot is Black.
So why couldn't they get the same deal Sony got?

When I was married, he did things like that. I'd be sitting on the passenger side and he'd have me steer while he did ridiculous things.
It's not that they all have the same opinion. Just that all opinions get modded down until there is only one.

Sprint doesn't have bandwidth caps. I'd agree with the rest though.
That just turns it into a dinosaur and egg problem.
Google+ was created because Facebook is incredibly good at getting information from people, and spewing ads, and Google wants that too.
