Isn't Nokia moving to MeeGo for their premier phones?
Yes, Symbian is Nokia's (old, obsolete) OS for the mass-market phones that people buy when they just want a phone. That puts it out of the smartphone market, which is why "no one talks about it" when they're talking about Android and iOS. The article's attempt to equate Symbian with these is a bit disingenuous.
The summary quietly acknowledges this viewpoint, they were trying to see if they could disrupt the magnetosphere, much less damage it.
This directly contradicts the article, which states that they wanted to know if they could transmit a blast radiation/wave down the bands to Moscow, for instance. The military is called the military for a reason. It doesn't conduct pure science like seeing if something is possible just for fun -- especially not given the costs and resources involved in atomic bombs. Either they wanted to weaponise this, or they wanted to see if there was a threat from someone else weaponising it.
To anyone about 3 years old, who's been taught to share toys with his siblings/classmates/friends, for one. To the parents and teachers who naturally taught those kids what they know is right, for another.
And whose view of natural rights? I assure you that the natural rights obvious to jihadist Muslims differ from the natural rights obvious to, say, western agnostics.
As a western agnostic, I disagree.
Any claims of "natural rights" are based in philosophy, theology, and idealism. Distilled to its core, it all boils down to "Why are we here?" which is not a legal nor scientific question, and has no "obvious" answer.
Many things have no obvious answer, including the most fundamental laws of mathematics. We still build entire systems on top of them. Law is no different, and is in fact based on natural law.
On the face of it, yes, but the problem is that they've said the material is compact. Whether they can make compact batteries and compact, cheap battery chargers is another question entirely. I doubt they can, considering the pressures involved to make the material.
I think they're lying. Downloads != users, and browser share on one biased site != users, but it's easy to pretend that they are equal, if it suits your business.
It's true; their days are numbered, and their attempts to do silly things like add webservers to their browser suggest that they know that very well.
Opera should be:
a) Open-sourcing their browser and making money from extras like T-shirts and manuals and other silly crap like that, which kids with browsers will buy. b) Working real hard on a totally new, advanced, streamlined, user-friendly browser for the semantic web.
Yes, but I excel at scanning boring stuff quickly. I've scanned it a bit more now. It's still boring. People were doing stuff WAY cooler than this even before the 70s, like The Mother of all Demos.
A photon hits it. The mirror flips into a different state and the photon goes off in a particular direction. Another photon hits it. The mirror flips again.
That's wonderful. Now we just need some big machine to examine the state of the mirror, aim the photons in the right direction, generate photons, etc. Wait, this might be a little bigger than nano-scale...
A commodore 64 in a big box. I mean, seriously... it sounds like a pretty lo-fi space-filler using commonplace tech, even decades ago. What's the fascination?
We're constantly being reminded that slashdot is no longer an 'American' site, as if we are somehow to blame for them coming here.
No, you're just expected to be civilised, worldly hosts. Acting like the US is the only country that exists on the internet is like inviting people to your house for dinner, ignoring them, and watching TV.
If you (the RIAA) want to police that crap, do it on your dime
If they want to police it, they should keep on wanting. If they want to argue their case to an enforcer based on representing ONE of the BIASED points of view, then that's fair enough.

Completely irrelevant. I'm not talking about the OS's technical capabilities/potential. Go check Nokia's strategy, and you'll find out I'm right.

No, I saw that point. But I'm pretty sure there was another point in there too.
Thank god for the upcoming, new, younger, more educated generation of young gamers, for whom this will no longer be a temptation.

This will be awesome for mobile devices, if they can make it cheap and compact enough.
No, just the obvious, natural right.

What? There are TWO sides to things?
Or a rather obvious extension of the word "sad".

No, but I hear it's a good webserver.

Easy enough with a few thousand volts.
That's wonderful. Now we just need some big machine to examine the state of the mirror, aim the photons in the right direction, generate photons, etc. Wait, this might be a little bigger than nano-scale...
If that's all you saw, you might be eligible for 'em.
Yes, I got that too, but I ignored it since it's plainly wrong for the vast majority of sites
It's not the same. Posting an electronic link is theft, just as if you'd posted it in a shop.
A commodore 64 in a big box. I mean, seriously... it sounds like a pretty lo-fi space-filler using commonplace tech, even decades ago. What's the fascination?
And what if we wanted to google it, eh? Did you stop to think of that before posting your own god-damned link?
No, you're just expected to be civilised, worldly hosts. Acting like the US is the only country that exists on the internet is like inviting people to your house for dinner, ignoring them, and watching TV.
Wait, I thought the RIAA was the Black Plague.
