I love how you take a 6-8 page article, extract pretty much the only3 sentences from it that don't apply anymore, and based on that dismiss it. So Apple only fixed these 3 problems in four years? Nice work.
Google ranks Wikipedia articles higher than Britannica articles because Wikipedia.com is linked to more than Britannica.com.
In fact I would wager good money that Wikipedia.con is one of the top 5 linked to domains PERIOD, probably shortly after sites like cnn.com, myspace.com, facebook.com
Google doesn't just manually set it's rankings. They're set by the web. If Britannica wants higher rankings they need to get more people to link to them as an authority.
Last I checked it didn't cost me anything to get my chip & pin card. The only people who pay are the ones stupid enough to carry a balance on their credit card. Darwin in action AFAIAC
That is not what is going on here. Is it behavior that should be encouraged? Of course not!
Should it be discouraged then? If so, why? Why should a 16 year old not be allowed to send a nude photo to her BF? How old were you when you first had sex? First played doctor? Just because we are in the digital age does not change biology. If it were 200 years ago these kids would be married and have a child on the way already.
I think the harshest justifiable punishment would be some kind of counseling for the teens about appropriate school behavior
None of this happed at school or during school time. It's not like they were getting naked in math class here. The only inappropriate school behaviour was the use of a cell phone at school.... and the differences between appropriate minor vs adult activities.
That is the whole problem. Anyone who thinks that it is inappropriate for a 16 year old to see another 16 year old nude is seriously repressed, and if they think any law is going to stop kids from doing it, also seriously deluded.
When stuff like this happens, it is not the consumers who end up paying, but Visa / MC - who end up putting pressure on these guys to get their act together.
Living in Canada where it is -25 outside right now, I have always found it an extreme waste of energy to be powering a fridge and freezer to keep things cold in a house I am paying out the nose to heat because it is so cold outside for 1/3 of the year or more.
How come new houses aren't built with some kind of a "chill pipe", kind of like an insulated duct line that routes outside air directly into the kitchen, that could be connected to the fridge? The pipe could be automatically closed or opened as the fridge detected the temperature outside.
Lets see - if I get the GPhone from T-Mobile I can replace any application I want on it, right down to the kernel. I can totally customize it from the ground up, and use anything I want on it to access any information I want.
Name one Verizon phone that lets me do this? Hell I doubt I will even be able to uninstall this Live Search POS.
Sexuality is not irreducible at all. You have this small couple-cell organism that reproduces asexually by division and cloning its minute DNA. This goes on for millenia, so that in any given hospitable location these organisms are incredibly densely packed, as in, in constant contact.
Then sometime, there is a mutation during the cloning process of two of the microbes whereby instead of an exact copy of each being made, potions of their DNA is instead swapped, because they are trying to reproduce adjacently in so close quarters. Boom, you have the first sexual reproduction. Extrapolate over billions of microbes over thousands of years, with this sexual reproduction happening all over the place. Evolution takes hold, microbes with better DNA out-compete the others, and you are off to the races.
When you can make a bit for bit perfect copy of a DVD in under 3 minutes at a cost of 20 some cents, the fact that the media degrades is a non issue.
Hell, I can fit 15 or so DVD quality movies on my key chain (32 GB microSD keyfob). You really think in 5-10 years you're still going to be playing DVDs? Give me a break. By then you'll have copied all your stuff to some other format.
S3 suspend cuts power use by 95% and the PC resumes *INSTANTLY*.
I can S3 suspend my laptop and have it run off the battery for over a week - open it up and I am back where I left off in about 2-3 seconds.
There is no argument against having an IT policy MANDATING S3 suspend. Hell you can even automate it to do it by default every day at 6 PM unless the PC is in use (easily checked by screensaver APIs).
If the strap had not been included then none of these lawsuits would even have a case, because the honous would be solely on *the player* to not be a moron and release the remote while playing the game. Because Nintendo provided the strap, they therefore imply that it is fit for it's purpose (to keep the remote from flying), and open themselves to lawsuits on failures.
They never should have included he straps. I hate the damn things anyway I removed them all almost right after I got the console.
Which ads would you rather constantly be pounded with on TV - new products from Apple/Google/, niche technology gadgets, action sci-fi movies, comic-cons, science kits, etc - or Mr. Clean, adult diapers, Febreeze, ED tablets, and tampons?
TARGET AWAY GOOGLE! PLEASE TARGET ME FOR ADS!
I don't get why so many people are against targeted advertising. By definition, they already know the info about you, or else they would not be able to do said targeting. All it means is they are actually using the info to make your user experience more enjoyable - and for them, hopefully mean you will pay more attention to the ads.
... in your argument is "against another sophisticated military".
However this is rarely the case. Nowadays most engagements the US Military is involved in are against people with little more than 25-50 year old weapons. The problem the US Military has is the on the ground war against these kinds of insurgents - this tech. would be invaluable against them, you could approach a camp on foot without fear of being seen.

The researcher, Dr. Guillaume Gervais, is director of McGill University's Ultra-Low Temperature Condensed Matter Experiment Lab. There's nothing in the journal letter about "a new state of matter". The McGill Newsroom article quotes him as saying to the interviewer, "It's actually not quite 3-D, it's an in-between state, a totally new phenomenon" as compared with the 2-D electron crystals that transistors and IC chips are made of. The interviewer, or an editor, thought "Physics -- state -- new state of matter". Engadget's Melanson picked up the error and passed it on uncritically.
I have always been under the impression that a 42" LCD consumes significantly less power when on than the 27" CRT it replaced. WHich,judging by the ehat output alone, would be common sense form my POV.
Is this article telling me I have always been misled, or is it talking about plasma only?

Holy crap thanks for making me remember those books I read as a kid!!!
Man I have to hunt down some copies...

It is a complete usability nightmare.
And the experts tend to agree.

This looks to me almost exactly the same way KDE 4 notifications work. Just a slight change in the bubble look.

I for one would love to "superimpose models on real world objects.".
I can think of many times I would rather be looking at a model than what I am actually looking at...
You having to say out loud "Google, find me a woman screwing a donkey".
'Nuff said.

There are no finite state machines. There are only a series of states that Bruce Schneier allows to exist.
Bruce Schneier can tell you where to find your GPG key into the digits of PI.
Bruce Schneier owns a chicken that lays scrambled eggs. Whenever he wants a hard-boiled egg, he just unscrambles one.
SHA = "Schneier has access" SHA2 = "Schneier has access - and a spare too"
When transmitted over any socket, Bruce Schneier's public key causes libpcap to enter an infinite malloc loop.
Bruce Schneier knows Alice and Bob's shared secret.
Bruce Schneier's secure handshake is so strong, you won't be able to exchange keys with anyone else for days.
Bruce Schneier knows the state of schroedinger's cat
When Bruce Schneier observes a quantum particle, it remains in the same state until he has finished observing it.
Bruce Schneier once decrypted a box of AlphaBits.

Costs like 5 bucks. Not a huge deal.
