Agreed. But there was an implication that one couldn't do VLC on Android because it's Java. It's Java syntax, but the underlying VM isn't Java. That means that the performance problems that plague Java do not plague Dalvik (Android) applications.
Undoubtedly Android VLC uses these libraries rather than the usual suspects.
Android programs aren't Java. Yes, they're written in Java, but the bytecode is targeted for Dalvik, which is not a JVM. Have you seen video on an Android phone? It's very smooth on 4G or WiFi, a little less so on 3G.
I didn't say that; you are reading something that isn't there. Even among "experienced" liars, there are tells. You have to watch their eyes, because that's the dead giveaway. Most people look away when they're lying, and even in those that don't, there will still be a slight shift in the eyes. It's practically unavoidable.
There are other subtle body cues as well. Everybody has a tell. Just ask any successful poker player.
I'm not sure it's a difference between "experienced" and "inexperienced" as it is a difference between "normal" and "sociopathic". The two people you just cited are likely candidates for being sociopaths. People who aren't sociopathic can't help but reveal they are lying through their body language.
Linking can't be publishing. If linking is publishing, then Google, Bing, and Yahoo are breaking the law, right now. Guess we'll have to to shut them down.
You can't access character by watching a persons eyes or body language. That doesn't stop people from trying of course
No, but you can assess what they're thinking and whether or not what they're saying is truthful. That can play a part in assessing their character if interaction occurs repeatedly and over a longer period of time.
Yea, there's really no chance they gave you morphine for a bulged disc, these days they pretty much won't give you morphine unless you're dying.
That's not true. They'll give you morphine if you're in the hospital. They rarely prescribe it for home use because they consider it best that you be under medical observation while taking it.
Generally, however, other drugs such as acetaminophen (paracetamol for those of you outside the States) combined with hydrocodone or oxycodone, or other synthetic or semisynthetic opiates are usually more effective at pain management with fewer side effects.
43 pages sounds a bit insane, until you actually look at it. Large print, lots of diagrams, lots of whitespace/formatting not 43 walls of text. It actually looks pretty clean and readable.
Exactly. And if you read the instructions (Google Translate is your friend if you don't speak French, or even if, like me, your French is very rusty) they tell you everything your father taught when he showed you how to wear a suit: Don't stuff your pockets, make sure there is at least space for one finger between your collar and neck, tuck your shirt in properly, the jacket should "hang" on your shoulders nicely, keep your creases neat, etc.
BTW--if you stick the postcard -- or anything else -- in one of their "express letter"-type envelopes, they'll ship it for one price. Anything that fits in that envelope costs the same.
You don't know that because right now they are forbidden by law to do so.
No they aren't. You're thinking of the laws relating stamps or postage. Not all postcards are postage paid. There is nothing stopping UPS or FedEx or [your-favorite-carrier-here] from delivering postcards to your door (they can't, by law, put things in your mailbox). They simply don't do it because they don't see any profit in it.
Never worked for the government, eh? Getting fired from a civil service job is almost impossible. You pretty much have to do something like set the place on fire or shoot up your co-workers before they'll fire you.
BTW -- it's possible for both cases to partially work under Wine. SketchUp works for everything that doesn't use WebDialogs (and some WebDialogs do work). You can get Silverlight 3.0 working on Wine, but the DRM still crashes wineserver. A possible solution for MythTV and XBMC users is to use PlayOn and a Windows PC to stream it via UPnP. Not perfect, but it works.
Yep. Sadly, I missed the nuance about google "owning" the e-mail. Google does not own your e-mail, though they can (obviously) read it since it is sitting on their servers.
Not that they would bother except to autonomously scan for AdWords and (perhaps) to gather demographics data; as someone else pointed out, reading through someone's lolcats, chain mails, h3rb4l v1@gra offers, Nigerian scams and love notes is not likely to be very productive at all.
Are you implying the women in my coven are fat? I wouldn't do that, unless you want to hang out in swamps and eat flies all day.:-P
Actually, Wiccan women come in all shapes and sizes, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but maybe I'm a bit biased as my personal preference is for women who many would describe as somewhat overweight. But we got skinny, too, if that's what you want.

Damn! I think I just broke the law by mentioning Google, Bing and Yahoo!

I don't have to see Jon Katz' face to know that he's not human.

So that's why they fired me!

Yep. Jean-loup Gailly's inflate/deflate, InfoZIP, and libpng, at the very least. Probably others under similar licenses, too.
For example, where is my Linux version of SketchUp?

Speaking of Wil Wheaton, I wonder if he still reads Slashdot?
Right. Google can read it, but the government would still have to have a search warrant.
You should transmit anything that needs to be secret via plaintext e-mail anyway. That's why we have PGP/GPG.

I can haz chezmail?
This would apply to hosted services, free or paid, as well, such as Gmail or Yahoo.
Heh. Become a Wiccan. Most covens have at least 5 women to one man. ;)
