So how is anyone going to develop for Windows if they aren't allowed to use debuggers or virtualization? How can drivers be developed? (I assumed they aren't "signed" until a vendor is ready to release them.) It seems to me this "feature" could kill Windows.
Brontosaurus was actually a non-existient dinosaur, created by combining an Apatosaurus skeleton with a Camarasaurus skull. As Apatosaurus had already been discovered (by the same man, no less), it was not a re-naming as much as clearing out the trash.
Maybe they'll have a switch to go between "wood" mode and "dead body" mode or something.
Yes they will:
Any material that is electrically non-conductive can be cut with the SawStop saw. This includes woods, plastics, laminates, etc. If you want to cut aluminum or other conductive materials, the safety system has a key-activated bypass feature that can be used to disable the brake while cutting these materials.
...but I wouldn't be surprised if the powers that be were trying to enhance national security by removing the unpredictable voters from the process. Morality aside, public policy can be streamlined if you don't have to fear public backlash to a father-knows-best approach, and you can ensure that a capable successor will be in place to continue what you started.
Also, I never understood why there is so much resistance to having a paper trail. Are we worried about expense? Effectiveness? Too lazy to do manual recounts and want that option off the table? The Afghan man who sells me hot dogs out of a trailer has a paper trail, but I guess it's too advanced or expensive if it protects our right to self-determination.
Your claims about cell yields are poorly supported. The first two links simply refer to the third one, in which the interviewee speculates on what the yield will likely be, based on the chip size. IBM has not released official yield data to the best of my knowledge. The interviewee also states that chips that aren't up to PS3 spec can be used in a number of other products.
What you say rings true. However, my own interpretation of American history suggests that things will get worse before they get better. The concerned among us are still far too small a percentage of the population to draw the attention of the complacent masses. I mean, look at the issues that incumbents are banking on to get re-elected: Terrorism, Gay Marriage, and Flag Burning. Real issues, such as climate change, health care, and corruption go undiscussed because powerful interests pay an awful lot of money to keep it that way.
No, things will have to get pretty bad before we realize that Jesus isn't coming to fix it for us.
Why does every single biology-related article have to devolve into this stupid ID debate? Is it for the benefit of the dozen creationist proponents on./, or the hundreds of evolution "believers" who want to show everybody else how "smart" they are. Regardless, all it does is provide some instant gratification for those who like to argue, and impedes the rest of the readers, who actually want to have an intelligent discussion on scientific discoveries.
Want to prove me wrong? Go ahead. Stand up and reply to this message, and tell me that your fundamental worldview has been changed as a result of this ID/evolution Slashturbation. I think the messages that follow (or more likely don't) will speak for themselves.
And moderators, do your part. If the discussion fails to include anything relevant to the article itself, you need to put it in its place with offtopic mods.
Finally, if you're frustrated like I am, then speak out! Otherwise, the inteligent discussion we enjoy on Slashdot will decompose into the same juvenille, knee-jerk flamewars you find on the rest of the web.
Just don't come complaining when you realize that you go other places in the world, even other Europeon countries, and don't enjoy the same freedoms.
So essentially what you're saying, is that as long as someone else in the world has it worse off, we should be grinning as our rights are stripped from us... Sounds like a good argument to me.
OK. First, if a sequence of four notes makes you that uncomfortable, perhaps you should seek professional help. Second, I suspect that they will drop or change the jingle because they always play it while zooming in on the "Intel Inside" logo, and the two are so strongly linked that keeping the sound alone might prove confusing to some.
Ahem... evolution doesn't necessarily mean that a species will become "better" ar "more advanced" from a subjective human point of view. If the scum of the earth are indeed having more children (and more of them survive until breeding age), then they are actually more fit from a short-term evolutionary standpoint.
Does someone at/. have a nephew that works at Hexus? Do the two sites have some sort of contract? Slashdot's Hexus affinity seems more than just a coincidence.

Any other questions?
That's actually pretty accurate:
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
--Benito Mussolini
When making such a strong, sweeping claim, it's usually a good idea to cite a few sources.
In America, we'd tend to say "three twenty".
An oddity that just occurred to me is that we Americans tend to say "fourth of July" more than "July fourth". Any guesses why we're inconsistent here?

My computer is a couple generations old, and I can run Oblivion at full settings, so long as I don't do anything stupid like FSAA.
but crashing while saving comes pretty close.
I believe the proper phrase is "we're making good progress".

If he talked to anyone on IM while using this icon, then the icon did leave the house.
I think you'll notice that good law always includes such unambiguous phrases as "the average person", "prevailing standards", and "artistic value".

Tom Cruise, is that you?

I was wondering why SPCR wasn't working.
This Washington Post article has more about the "tipping point" studies, with less emphasis on the politics.

Yeah, yeah, so maybe it's against the law. Sue me.
