When the audio tag becomes more widespread, browser authors will probably provide a per tab volume control. This is something which cannot be done with Flash.
A lot of commenters are saying that this saturates their CPU. I would suggest this is a good thing. With Flash, even on the fastest Mac or Linux machine, video and complex animation can stutter, because Adobe haven't got a around to writing a proper plugin yet. But a properly written Javascript engine (like Nitro in Web Kit) can properly utilise the CPU. The animation is smooth and responsive for me on a MacBook pro, and laggy (but still somewhat usable) on a Mac mini.
More likely, when I come back in the morning it will be on with "____ is not responding" or "There are other users logged on" message. To shut down my Windows machine, I have to sit in front of it until it turns off.
Maybe I misunderstood, but it seemed to me that you were equating discrimination based on someone's behaviour with discrimination based on someone's phenotype. In the latter case, this leads to victimisation. Further to your point, maybe if developers included more diversity in their games, they would have a more diverse audience.
That's entirely different, and you're an idiot if you can't see that. You could avoid the random searches by changing your behaviour. People with brown skin cannot. Do not claim to know what it feels like to be casually discriminated against, when you have no fucking clue.
The most insulting part of your post is the insinuation that discrimination against black people is OK, because they are more likely to be criminals. Setting aside whether that is true or not, consider that maybe treating people as criminals turns them into criminals.
In the UK at least, parking prices are high to encourage the use of public transport. The pricing insures that it is cheaper to take the bus than drive into town.
That's because Safari 'addons' are actually input manager hacks, which are theoretically designed to provide access for assistive devices on Mac OS X, but generally aren't. They work by dynamically injecting code into the executable. This means they can seriously break stuff if the application is updated, and can cause instability. I only use a single input manager hack for Safari, which is AdBlock. It's fairly simple, and hasn't broken anything yet.
Bullshit. You really think that Steve Jobs controls the minutiae of everything Apple produces? He steers the company, and is probably more involved in product development than most CEOs, but there are plenty within Apple who share his vision and his taste. Steve Jobs does not design anything, he just vetoes and approves products. He will appoint a successor, and Apple will go on much as before. The past six months proved Apple can operate without him, even with the biggest product launch in their history.
I'd also take issue with your assertion that free software is independent of personalities. Would the FSF be the same without Richard Stallman? Linux without Linus? If anything, open source products are often more centred around one individual, as it is frequently a labour of love.
Those rights refer to detention by the police. If you act evasive like that with the TSA then although you would not be arrested, you may not be allowed to board your flight.
You are drawing this conclusion, not from the article itself, but second hand, from a journalist, who may have talked to someone who has read the article. I might be able to discuss some of your concerns better, but the article costs $34. However, as someone with a passing knowledge of statistics, I can say your outright rejection of sample size is unscientific. A small sample size may be counteracted by very strong results, and without seeing the hypothesis tests the authors of the article doubtless performed, you cannot simply look at a sample and say 'that is too small' (unless it is absurdly small, eg, less than 20).
The free abstract also indicates that the investigation was performed in three phases, with the portion in the night club being used to confirm the results produced in a lab setting, although whether these results were double blind, I cannot say without having read the article.
No I'm not trolling, just because I disagree with you, doesn't mean I'm trying to piss you off. Don't have live view, so that's not an issue for me! I'm merely relaying my personal experience, which is that I can get by for days on one charge. Last summer I was in Yosemite without power for several days, with no battery life issues.
The extent of most Slashdot users statistics knowledge is to scream 'Correlation is not causation' at any science story. This might have something to do with the fact that anyone who uses the phrase is instantly modded +5 Insightful, but then again, correlation is not causation.
I know no one with a second battery for their camera. The battery in my D40 lasts for around a week on one charge when I'm using it, why would I need a second one?
Not to the extent that they look clean. Here's an experiment. Take a mobile phone photo in very low light. Run the filter on it. Not exactly noise free, right?
I really don't know what you are suggesting. Whether or not the image has been adjusted, the camera has produced a very low noise image at ISO 6400. No amount of tweaking could hide noise.
That's rubbish. For $850, you can get a Nikon D5000, which produces acceptable photos at ISO 6400. There is no equivalent of that in film. Even cheaper DSLRs, like the D40, take fairly good photos at ISO 800. Even that is well beyond film's capabilities.

The voting up of furious has now caused the site's banner to say 'Is furious about Playstation piracy'. Great.
That's rubbish. Or do you not understand how to use checkboxes?

Just because somewhere else is worse doesn't mean that you can excuse your own system.
That's a profoundly stupid idea.
No, there is a clause which allows you to cancel within 30 days, and return the iPhone.

It's not really a boycott if you don't buy things because you think they are shit. That's just common sense.

What do you mean? Ubuntu will still ship you a free CD

You're either ignorant or trolling. Photoshop cannot get rid of noise!

That's not really true. There are cable providers who supply broadband. Mine is supplied by Virgin Media.
