...because the investment and risk for the squatter is zero, you are going to see the rapid evaporation of available Twitter IDs.
The investment is only zero if your time has absolutely no value. Anybody who considers it worth their while to register hundreds of usernames seriously needs to think about getting a life!
No clear chain of custody for the evidence. Sell, Hipple, and the landlord all had access to Crist's computer; any one of them (and anybody else who had access to the apartment) could have placed the images on the hard drive. The landlord even had a motive for getting Crist in trouble -- not paying your rent tends to piss people off. That being said, if Hipple claimed he saw kitty porn on the drive, that should have been sufficient cause to get a search warrant -- the cops messed up by not following proper procedures.
We're subsidizing the oil companies by sending thousands of American soldiers to fight in Iraq to guarantee them access to cheap foreign oil, not to mention the hundreds of billions of dollars we're spending. Seeing as how the oil companies are currently experiencing record profits, don't you think it only fair that they help out with some of the monetary expenses? To be completely fair, the oil companies should recruit their own armies and put their own executives on the front line, but that's not going to happen...
"Nice satellite you got here... be a shame if anything should happen to it!"
Wait, you mean that's not the kind of "Protection Service" we're talking about?
Like everybody else, I ordered one in advance. That's why there are no lines at the store. Big selling points were 1) I can write my own software for it, and 2) Built in GPS. Of course, buying one is an act of faith in that I'm assuming they will make software upgrades available later to fix little flaws like the lack of support for the stereo bluetooth profile. Of course, I probably won't get mine until November 8, but I don't think those extra 2 weeks will make much of a difference.
So if you want to work with/clean up after that sort of developer....
I've been cleaning up after C/C++ programmers for 25 years now. It's gotten to the point where I see no tangible difference between my job and that of the guy you see in every parade, following along behind the elephants/horses with a shovel and a broom...
I used to joke about "Visual Cobol" being the next big thing in computer languages... that is, until I learned that it's a real product!
I still think this is a trick to get all those Chinese and Indian software engineers to train for a worthless language, so we can get our old jobs back...
What's the betting Microsoft starts slashing its prices in Russia?
Microsoft already pays people to use their search engine... I'm betting MS starts paying Russian schools to use their software!
In Sony's opinion, DRM that doesn't force you to repurchase all your content every time you buy a new player is DRM that doesn't work. Apparently this "open source DRM" guy is unclear on what the real purpose of DRM is.
Because the SUV drivers that are already intentionally trying to run me off the road are certain to respond favorably to the "Get the hell out of my way!" I'm constantly broadcasting while roaring down the road. And of course no friendly Law Enforcement Officers will have receivers for this and use the information to issue me tickets. I think I'll continue taking my chances operating in stealth mode and assuming every other driver is trying to hit me, thank you very much.
Somebody needs to take a stand against these lawless Somali pirates and their brazen attacks on shipping lanes! I'm surprised that Microsoft feels that strongly about this issue, though... did they confiscate a boatload of Vista CDs?
Good luck with the AI trying to tell those over 1 billion Chinese people apart... and wouldn't anybody that was up to no good simply wear sunglasses, facial hair, and a hat? Or have cosmetic surgery? Or wear Groucho glasses?
Who wants to see lag, pauses, and "Loading -- Please Wait" messages in the middle of their dreams? Not to mention those damn "401 page not found" errors!
Apparently they are catching people stupid enough to attempt hijackings. While no technology can be completely effective in blocking those willing to die for their cause, we have certainly cut down on the DB Cooper and asylum seeker types, haven't we?
No self-respecting Islamic Terrorist would call himself "Jeffery Goldberg". Oh, wait, now we are giving the terrorists ideas -- they're gonna start disguising themselves as Jews! (A tactic that has obviously worked so well in Israel.)
Are these addresses lying idle, or merely configured to not respond to ICMP echo (ping) packets? 'Cause, you know, I'm pretty sure their test can't tell the difference...
"New design. New features. New technologies. All engineered to standards that don't even exist yet.
I realize they are probably referring to 802.11n which is still in draft status, but come on... if a standard "doesn't exist", how the hell can you "engineer to" it? How about saying "Here at Apple, we're 100% compliant with standards we haven't even written yet... 'cause first we build the product, then we write the standard to match exactly what the product does!"
Queue Orson Welles' deep voice stating "We will ship no Linux before it's time". Seriously, I always thought this was one of the major advantages contributing to Linux quality: not having to meet arbitrary release deadlines imposed by marketing and sales. Unlike one of Debian's Operating System competitors that will go unmentioned except to say that they're based in Redmond where the Vista is always cloudy. This isn't news because it is exactly what I would expect Open Source developers to do.
I just have one stupid question: when will Debian run out of Toy Story Characters to name releases after? (Methinks the Hand-in-the-box release will not be well received...)
That extra 20fps won't make your penis any larger.
But it will get you laid by all the hot bikini-clad chicks that hang out at LAN parties just waiting to go home with the player that can pwn all the others... wait, whatdaya mean there are no video gamer groupies?

The proposed vehicle will get from 0 to 1,050 mph in 40 seconds.
Yeah, sure, but... how well does it corner?

I'm just wondering... what is the price to license Windows HPC on 64 cores? Is the Linux version cheaper?

Really useful artificial intelligence is currently just 10 years away... just as it has been for the last 40 years!
