The first month is included, so it would be fairer to say that it's $45 for the game and then $15 per month. There are slightly cheaper 3 and 6 month plans available if you're planning on sticking around.
There isn't enough incentive to get ordinary users on board. Without recipients' use of PGP/GnuPG, I have no public keys to use and cannot encrypt my e-mails. I sign 99.9% of my e-mails, but nobody ever checks the signatures. Sometimes people ask me what the headers are about, and I'm happy to explain it to them. They usually don't end up caring. Again, to be more blunt, ordinary users see no incentive to get on board.
Well, if that isn't the start of Gattaca-esque trait selection, I don't know what is. Just don't let anyone select candidates for sports on the basis of the gene, okay? Give people with or without the gene a chance of doing what they like best, regardless of the statistics.
Seriously. Most people aren't willing to put in the effort to determine just how bad things would be if they had to resort to their (often inadequate) backups, and therefore they aren't willing to pay the time and capital to get adequate backups.
If you want your company to get better backups, run a simulation of what would happen if something failed. What's the best recovery you could do? What business would you lose? Then calculate the probability of that failure occurring, and be generous.
But it's not increasing the attack surface at all. If it's pure javascript, the interpreter is already there anyway. Any attack on PDF.js would exist in the interpreter independently of PDF.js. In fact, this reduces the attack surface by requiring one less program to accept arbitrary data from the network.
Try depending strictly on yourself and entirely corporate-provided goods for a month. Ignoring the fact that you're able to breathe the air without taking in a lethal dose of toxic fumes, I think you'll find it very expensive to get goods shipped to you without using government-built and maintained transportation services. You death would be swift too. Make no mistake.
Maybe on a wired connection you'd be right. I'm inclined to think that wireless, doing something to detect tampering could be possible. You probably wouldn't be able to guarantee that you can create a connection at all, but it might be an improvement for some to be able to connect only if tampering can be ruled out with some probability.
The only thing surprising about this drive is that normally the 7200 RPM drives come first, before the 5400 RPM drives at that density.
That's patently false for 2.5" HDDs. I can't remember a time when I haven't had the choice of a faster 7200 RPM drive or a higher capacity 5400 RPM drive when notebook shopping.
U.S. Patent No. 5,946,647 on a "system and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated data" (in its complaint, Apple provides examples such as the recognition of "phone numbers, post-office addresses and dates" and the ability to perform "related actions with that data"; one example is that "the system may receive data that includes a phone number, highlight it for a user, and then, in response to a user's interaction with the highlighted text, offer the user the choice of making a phone call to the number")
U.S. Patent No. 6,343,263 on a "real-time signal processing system for serially transmitted data" (while this sounds like a pure hardware patent, there are various references in it to logical connections, drivers, programs; in its complaint, Apple said that this patent "relates generally to providing programming abstraction layers for real-time processing applications")
I think I violated these patents just reading this article.
If artificial intelligence and automation reach their ultimate conclusion, options #1 and #2 are pretty much it. If we've designed our agents correctly, they won't let us pick option #1.;-) Jokes aside, academia and research will be the only "jobs", ultimately, if all goes well.
I'm inclined to believe that iPads are overpriced, but not to the extent that stealing one should qualify as grand theft. Did the owner have the "I Am Rich" app installed, or what am I missing?
It would be nice to be able to activate the PC version included with my PS3 copy of Portal 2. You're in a somewhat unique position to improve matters, given that you were planning to make the PC version available to us anyway.
The developer tools were downloaded over 1.5 million times...
Seeing as you can't download XNA 4.0 without downloading the developer tools for WP7, I'm not surprised. Bundling is a trick. That particular number says nothing about the number of people developing for WP7.
If you already have an app on the device, with the right permissions, it would be trivial to look up the mac address from the device and send it out over TCP. But then I'm not an iOS developer, so maybe I'm mistaken.
1. The cable that came with my Kindle DX. 2. The cable that came with my Logitech Performance Mouse MX. (This one actually can be made to fit, but it requires force and seems like a bad idea to do regularly.) 3. An Amzer Micro USB Retractable Data Cable I bought online.
None works acceptably, and I'm quite sure it's because of Samsung's design decision to recess the port and put a sliding door over it. It protects the port I suppose, but it causes compatibility problems as I've described.
So, are they legally allowed to recess the port in such a fashion that only the official cables can reach the "standard" Micro-USB port, or is that just a mistake on Samsung's part? (It's pretty much my only gripe with the phone FWIW.)
"You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee." http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt
That's true for the product+source, but not for the source alone:
6.b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
I believe that what you mean to say is that the distributor must either include their sources or make a clear offer to their customers to provide them on demand. They needn't provide them to the general public. Simply being willing to ship the sources to their customers for a nominal fee would meet the GPL requirement. If the tablets are running vanilla android (which admittedly, they probably aren't), it would be trivial to make it easier for people to just download the sources from Google.
What is most important here is that the tablet vendors may be making changes to GPL sources and not yet making them available. It is important for us to have control over our devices that they open up, but it would be better still for the community if they stuck with 100% vanilla android instead.
They should have used a nonbreaking hyphen. ‑269.5 C Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be supported. Still no Unicode support I suppose... Anyone have better ideas?

However, I'd still rather have just bought KoTOR III through X.

But is capsaicin the active ingredient in all 'hot' dishes or are there others?
Yes. But more seriously, capsaicin is what makes spicy food spicy, or rather all capsaicinoids are what make spicy food spicy.

...you still have your work cut out for you, blade runner.
You are wrong. In both cases you have only probabilistic guarantees of correctness.
