Sounds like you could replace the entangled particles with a pseudo-random number generator and get the same result. You can't say for sure that the other party acted on the result of the particle/PRNG though. You can predict with a high degree of accuracy, but something could have changed (maybe the power went out, or the other side decided to change what happens when it reads a 1).
Searching brings up Intel, MediaTek, Broadcom and Nvidia. The Blackphone uses an Nvidia modem; which supposedly doesn't need to share memory. I'm assuming the Nexus 9 will use an Nvidia modem as part of their SoC as well.
A Gamecube controller is still the best way to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii, IMO. But they can't be used on the newer Wii consoles and the Wii U. (Of course I still have a Wii with Gamecube support.)
Overflows of unsigned values are well-defined in C (they wrap). (Technically the standard says unsigned values can't overflow because they're wrapped) Overflows of signed values are undefined.
Didn't the NSA develop SELinux specifically to compartamentalize data and prevent things like a sysadmin having more access to classified information than they need?
Apparently Google hasn't learned from HTC either. Supposedly the new Nexus phone will have a non-removable battery, 8GB storage, and no microSD slot. (Supposedly a 16GB version will be released later). At least it has an unlocked bootloader and fast updates, although Google does have an unfair advantage there. But don't expect them to pull the rug out from anyone.
Non DPI aware applications being marked DPI aware is Microsoft's fault. They decided to mark MFC applications (and potentially others) DPI-aware by default (at least when compiled with Visual Studio 2010). It doesn't help that the GUI designer (at least for Windows Forms) in Visual Studio doesn't work right at non-default DPIs. It also doesn't help that their automatic scaling for Windows Forms doesn't work right (probably why they haven't enabled it by default). I was assuming a huge part of Metro was fixing the DPI scaling issues. I guess not.
The receipt data is first supposed to be sent to the developer's server. The server then verifies it with the app store. It's up to the developer to make sure communication with their own server is secure. Still not a very good system IMO. What does Apple use for securing actual app purchases from their store? I'm assuming they have something in place to prevent using a MITM attack to install your own apps?
The Metro stuff doesn't run on EEE netbooks (at least the older ones) due to not meeting the minimum resolution. Trying to run it on my 10" netbook still brought up the Metro start screen, but trying to open any of the apps did nothing.
You can certainly point a domain name at a dynamic IP. Just use a DNS provider (like ZoneEdit) that provides a way to update A records using a dynamic DNS client and set your TTL low. You still run into issues for the duration of the TTL after your IP changes, but how often does that actually happen now? It's not uncommon for me to be connected for 1 month or more at a time.
Semi-related comment from the kernel source of my phone:/*This is a temporary piece of crappy code that I was forced to write as I did not figure out how to properly use the SPI driver in the system. Please resist the temptation of ever using this code in a good Samsung phone. I will remove this code as soon as I figure out the correct way of using the SPI driver*/
(That code actually works correctly though, unlike some of the other stuff)
It remains to be proven that eBooks will last longer. If your eReader breaks and the seller has gone out of business or just decided to not let you download the books anymore, you loose the books completely.
The Structured Exception Handling is Microsoft's fault; they have a patent on it (at least for 32-bit) so it can't be implemented in GCC. Obviously Microsoft has an unfair advantage on the API front as well, since I'm assuming the APIs were written and test primarily with Microsoft's compilers in mind. I'm guessing they'd have the ability to look at each others' source code as well?
You won't be able to run any non-Metro apps not written by Microsoft. Apparently they won't even let you run command line.NET apps that aren't tied to any specific architecture.
Am I able to take the SIM card out of my Verizon LTE phone and stick it in one of these tablets to get data using the same plan I have for my phone? Without paying extra, that is. Or do they have something to block this?
It's very unlikely that the legitimate files would be EXACTLY the same as the pirated files, especially with music files. If you really need to mitigate this problem, give the rights holders the option to take down a file and all links or just one particular link.
Slashdot Mirror
No, for example the Netflix original Marvel shows are not available for download while the DC shows they license from the CW are.
Almost certainly not from Slashdot. From their stats, most of their visitors are in France.

I'm from Grand Rapids and studied CS here. Still haven't heard of them. Or if I did I've forgotten.

I believe you can actually update the QT libraries on Android separately using Ministro. I don't know if any other libraries do something like this.

Unortunately multiboot does not (yet) work with this.

Since the books are licensed under Creative Commons, you can upload them to archive.org (see here) and redirect your users there to download.
The Nexus S 4G is part of the lawsuit.

Being against the policies of Israel's government doesn't make people anti-Semitic.
Or are you referring to something more?
They already screw up Android enough as well.

Isn't AIR based on Flash? Apparently they're still going to develop it for now, but I wouldn't trust that it will be around long-term.
