DDR is the only thing among these that give an actual workout, and that's only if you play the game for long enough to get good on the hardest difficulties.
Yeah, handing kids a Wii is not the answer, duh. You still have to WORK OUT. o_O
Interesting idea. If planets become organized enough, they could beam full copies of the planet's intranet periodically to other planets, creating the whole "internet".

Seriously, Slashdot has a crazy view on this one. You can't predict the future, and it's actually kinda (kinda) a cool move that Murdock is making a virtual paper. The editor should be shot and robots should replace him.
I, for one, welcome our new robot slashdot editor overlords.
As far as I've observed, Apple has done a great job of contributing to a number of open source projects and has used their muscle to force the RIAA/MPAA into the digital space.
Personally, I'd put the RIAA / MPAA / Copyright Monglers at the top of this list. They're the ones trying to shove the COICA through Congress.
Which, by the way, they're trying to sneak through by this Thursday.
Is DNSSEC a good thing? (Yes) Do webmasters need a DNSSEC cert? (No, but it wouldn't be a bad idea. DNS works normally if you do not have one). Will consumers get 404 redirect pages with DNSSEC? (Not sure here. I'm guessing -- No, because DNSSEC doesn't allow this?) Will Comcast ever stop sucking? (Probably not.)
You're making the assumption that the student needs to pay attention to learn.
My school was so boring and had such a lack of any extra opportunities that I slept through classes and taught myself more difficult subject matter at home. I frequently did my 'homework' in class. It was sad that it was too dreadfully easy.
"school time" is not their time, it is the student's time to learn. If the most productive way for the student to learn is to ignore you, then so be it.
The sad part is that throughout my school career I had to serve several detentions for being too productive: usually because a teacher insisted I copy their notes word for word off the projector, and I would refuse - citing my short notes as sufficient enough to retain all the important information.
These guys aren't hackers. They are security advisors. They are the good guys. I suppose the editors didn't bother, you know, clicking a few links?
Here, I've done your homework. Was it that hard?

Publishers damn well could spend a tiny bit of time publishing.epubs that ran well on Kindles and iPads alike. Of course, when you publish electronically, you can't justify $149 for a copy of Organic Chemistry 14th edition, and you can't publish new editions every year to force the used market out of business. Who cares about the consumer when the market is inelastic and professors are forcing you to buy books that equate to the yearly incomes of people in third world countries?
If publishers won't bother doing such a simple thing for popular devices, do you honestly think they are going to support this monstrosity?
The article assumes one things: Going to college is a trade off for wages. Either you get student loans and study, or you work full time.
That's not true at all. I would argue that it's barely a trade off to get a low wage job full time, or be a student and part time earn a low wage job. Either way, you'll likely need government / parent assistance or want it.
So I pose a better solution: Let HR departments toss non-college degrees in the trash, but students should differenciate themselves on experience, not GPA.
In other words: CS grad with 4.0+ vs CS grad with 3.2 + work experience -- who do you think will win?
How do you get work experience? Well fortunately it's pretty easy -- go do stuff for free, then market your free work to a real low paying job -> Then graduate and tout your experience.
The one thing developers fail to understand (if they haven't tested before), is that developing for a single piece of hardware for a single platform using a single language and api calls is very, very easy to test, and test alot. More testing = more bugs found = more bugs fixed = higher quality.
This is why the experience of playing a game on console is consistance and bug free. While you (may) get improved function on a PC, your quality is going to go down significantly.
The same principle can be applied to any product that caters to a specific platform.
Note also, that this is why (for crossplatform applications) open source is so strong. It takes A LOT of eyes to make sure everything is quality across platforms, devices, hardware, etc.

Hey everyone!

Tonight I am streaming Diablo 3 Beta! I do a little show about Diablo 3 you might find enjoyable.
Streaming starts at 6pm PST. I will be taking questions and requests and answering and demoing on stream.

We are, after all, limited by the speed of light.
How about networking multiple worlds? What about when we learn to colonize Mars, and other solar systems?
I think IPv64 should be sufficient enough...........
FYI: Handbrake can convert quite a few things into MP4, but these all don't play on the iPad. there's some issues here.
You mean the key that is:
46 (the atomic number of palladium)
DC (the comic book shop)
EA (the horrible DRM ridden game company)
D3 (the Nikon camera)
17 (the element Chlorine)
FE (the element iron)
45 (the gun caliber)
D8 (the technology conference)
09 (the year sony released a new PS3 model with Other OS disabled)
23 (the atomic number of sodium)
EB (the game store)
97 (the element Berkelium)
E4 (the pay television channel)
95 (the interstate, I-95)
64 (the Nintendo 64)
10 (the hidden message in the 10th xkcd comic http://xkcd.com/10/)
D4 (the programming language)
CD (the dead media format)
B2 (the bomber)
C2 (E=mc^2)
This key tells an interesting story!!!

The last thing I want at work is for my legitimate searches to autocomplete with warez sites and the like.
If anything, though, it shows that google's instant search mechanic is a failure -- not the actual searching for warez.
But why not just use torx? It's far more common.

Point by point:

Do webmasters need a DNSSEC cert? (No, but it wouldn't be a bad idea. DNS works normally if you do not have one).
Will consumers get 404 redirect pages with DNSSEC? (Not sure here. I'm guessing -- No, because DNSSEC doesn't allow this?)
Will Comcast ever stop sucking? (Probably not.)
And "Freedom!"
oh wait, I have my iPad and iPhone.
...aaaaand anytime you're looking at monitor specs, it says TFT or IPS. Not "TFT-TN" or "TFT-IPS".
TFT implies TN. Editors should know these things.
>> One current problem 'is that TFT displays like the iPad uses suck for reading because they aren't outdoor viewable and are very power hungry.
It's not a TFT display. It's IPS.
Geez...and this isn't news either.

Nothing of value was lost.
VLC will continue to be the swiss army knife media player, and AOL will continue to lose customers to their horrible business practices.

Funny, I was looking at wikipedia on my iPad. It's a pretty awesome form factor, and there's nothing else required.
Oddly enough, PBS is one of my favorite stations. I didn't even realize this fact.
Funny how that works.
