It reduces the temptation to waste an evening (or more) trying to scrounge together a frankenstein system, reading old newsgroups to figure out how to resolve IRQ conflicts and write an autoexec.bat, and all that evil stuff.
One man's "waste" is another man's "enjoy".;)
Okay, maybe those particular activities aren't particularly enjoyable, but tell me you don't get some enjoyment out of getting an old system working again.
I recall one episode of the original series, in which the crew ends up on one of those "fantasy worlds" (you can imagine it, you get it), and Sulu ends up with some old firearms. Others' reactions are basically "I haven't seen one of those since they banned such-and-such weapons so-and-so years ago!".
So basically: projectile weapons were banned, I guess. Because they're much more deadly than phasers (which are designed to incapacitate).
Well, it was "fixed" a few minutes ago. So that it displayed a whole bunch of fortunes instead of just one, though. (It seems to be really fixed now. It's just showing one fortune.)
Because they can't charge you for anything if they don't have your credit card number.
(And having to give it to them again is just another step between them and your money, so they do what they can to eliminate it.)
This is just anecdotal, and probably a one-off kind of thing, but the other day my Comcast cable box/DVR was being very slow to do anything (i.e. press a button on the remote, wait several seconds for a response). I fixed it by unplugging it and plugging it back in again.
So, I guess what I'm saying is: have you tried rebooting it?:P
Multicasting is going to be around for a long, long time still. So long as it does, the cable/fiber/satellite networks are still the gatekeepers; they're not going to embrace IP multicasting when they have a perfectly good system that does the same thing.
If such data were available, why would an application like "Trails - GPS Tracker" ever need to "Resume recording"?
I don't own an iPhone, so I wasn't following this story too closely, but I think that the phone is logging this data for the phone's purposes (e.g. to send upstream to Apple). iOS is not subject to app restrictions.
Yeah, you try printing a car. See how durable ABS plastic is.
As for making originals from digital schematics... It's called computer-aided design, and it's old news. You can probably find schematics for just about anything you'd ever want to make on the Internet.
That's a PPA for Blender SVN (which I've been using since like Blender 2.5 Alpha 1, and Blender's generally been 100% usable).
If you just want the release package, pick one from that PPA's previous builds, here. (Make sure you pick the right architecture, version, and target Ubuntu version.)
And for those who don't want to do the digging to actually find out what the heck this thing does:
It implements a two-stage clicking process. Click once, a little "zoom bubble" pops up around the cursor, with a magnified version of what's underneath. Then, you make corrections to the pointer position (if necessary) and click again.
It's interesting, to be sure, but I wonder if a continuous-zoom mode is feasible.
Or do you just mean that it's more difficult/daunting for them to use Bugzilla? In that case, what you have there is a feature, not a bug. Make it too easy, you'll get a bug filed for every little thing (and they won't check for duplicates first, either).
That said, all KDE apps support filing bugs through Help > Report Bug. (I'd tell you what that uses if I were in KDE right now, but I'm not. Sorry.)
So USB 3.0 is on its way in, and I'll expect to see it on (mid-range) motherboards in the near future...
But how about USB 3.0 devices? I'm sure we all have whole piles of USB devices (Flash drives, etc.). Will these do anything different when plugged into a USB 3.0 port, or will we have to wait for new Flash drives to see more performance?

Well, if I ever get into the The Cloud business, I know what to put on my business cards...
Are you kidding? If Microsoft paid for every bug in Windows, they'd be bankrupt in a week!

You know it's time to go to bed when the comments start to run together and you think that similar feature is "armadillos"...
Most routers that do support this call it "AP isolation" or something like that. I know DD-WRT supports it.
And here I though Pan Am Railways (formerly Guilford) was bad...
Steal $100, go to jail. Steal $100 million, get slap on wrist (and bonus in your high-paying finance job).
No, they won't.
But Netflix might.

Would you say it sounds...
...sweet?

One pixel? Hell, I could do it with one bit (assuming the bit is 0 for female, 1 for male (or vice versa)).

Criticizing the president immediately labels you a racist? That's not a bad thing?
I think you answered your own question there, really.

Herp derp. Here is the project page. (It's 3 AM, what do you want from me.)

What, customers can't file bugs in Bugzilla?

I had one of those when I was a kid. I can tell you, it, like many other toys in its class, made great claims, but hardly worked.
