additionally, previewing articles in this manner can be seen as an attempt to improve search quality - news outlets are not averse to having a ridiculously inflammatory headline that has little or no relation to the article within - all to game search engines. they can't have it both ways.
a solution to that is showing the link with nothing else, but a casual surfer will just look to the next article that is a little more permissive (even if it's 9gag or some such).
i can understand the concern that google effectively controls the internet, but hell, that's been the situation since search engines were introduced. a better engine will eventually replace google if the ads become too much to bear (they are getting that way already - ad links coming up in the address bar before the partial typing of the url you actually want, in spite of the fact that Chrome knows well what sites you go to most often).
they'll never release a retina display. it's not their style. they'll release a display with 300dpi or thereabouts, but they wont call it retina any more than Epson call them "retina printers".
but if those slick TVCs say "retina" enough times, people will find it desirable.
my nokia 6120c has finer dot pitch than a retina, but it's such a tiny screen i have to hold it close enough to see the pixels. strap some of those together and you have a big retina screen.
sustainable for whom? if we're talking pure (rather than the selfish kind I prefer) environmentalism, then overpopulation is when the biosphere can't support it.
if we define it as being unable to feed ourselves, then as part of a larger biosphere, it'll tend to self-regulate into a sustainable situation (ie population will drop until we can feed ourselves). one could argue that it's short term unsustainable but sustainable in the long (but not too pretty) term.
to be honest, the reason for philanthropy doesn't concern me if real good is done.
someone like Gates has such an unbelievably rare opportunity to pursue "saving the world" without being held back by politics - he can play at being the benevolent dictator of his own little world, and if that makes things better for everyone else, than it's worth it.
those phones, when recycled (responsibly if possible) will yield more minerals than most natural deposits.
those tomatoes would not last the journey to "lol Africa is a country" and remain edible.
a big problem with the world is getting the abundance spread around. people don't want to lose their overabundance and will scream SOCIALISM!!1! at anyone who suggests they don't need that many phones or tomatoes. also, see what happens when you tell the Valencians they can't have their tomato fight any more because there's people starving. bearing in mind most of these people have been robbed by Moroccans and Somalis, probably several times.
the world is unfair. might as well enjoy it rather than being the stophavingfunguy who everyone says should lighten up.
i see a problem with that assumption where if you put that many rats in that much space with 8.5 million they will be very very visible. the subways are huge, but not that huge.
a derelict building implies a low occupancy. also people spend far more waking time outside their apartments than inside them.
but you did point out the possible error in extrapolating that one case, so whatevs.
i think google would do well to release a (reasonably feature-complete) video editor for the purpose of embedding it's clips with metadata in case it's filter fails.
it would be very nice to be able to use whatever you want and get warned about possible filterage beforehand - and override it with relevant citations, right there in your editor's media bin.
also, the tightars- uhm, FOSS world needs a good video editor. blender's sequence editor is the best there is and it's a piece of shit - completely inadequate for proper editing.
they'd likely have recorded 2 or more performances as well. between all of them a cough can be got rid of without the digital spectral scar that a surgical editor would leave behind.
though with a skilled operator, you can fix things and leave no sign at all behind. usually the music gets a bit fudgy though - best splice in something clean and make sure tempos match (in this day and age, an orchestra such as this should have earphones with click-tracks or something similar - conductors can get carried away)
Slashdot Mirror
if my friends and family can handle it, i might change my pic to goatse.
but then, what i say has little clout :(
god, i could imagine a trademark violation, but a patent?

but we're talking DVD9's with room to spare now, not blu-rays.
another is near 100% pure U233, which works rather well in bombs.
not saying it shouldn't happen. just that there's sensitivity there.
The Nuclear Centipede
wow, this troll ticks every box! i like it!
there's a big difference between the 238 and 239...
with pitch like they have, you could simply use nearest-neighbor and be at the same level as most other laptops...
it runs forever with the new black shiny iKettle plug.

paint me underwhelmed.
+1 internet.
ever since that xkcd i'm seeing that line everywhere.
that actually is the best argument of one in favour of another that i've heard so far. reducing NP to P.
now, if "economic" could only be redefined in greater terms than simple money, things could be fixed a bit more.
it's well known that men (even sort-of men) give the best head.
takes one to know one, that sort of thing.
what are you afraid of? it's not gay unless balls are touching, and according to TFA the odds have significantly improved.

i wont buy windows 8 though :)
if all you seek to do is feed them, the starving children will just become starving adults.
WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

your post and your sig are amusingly at odds with each other :)

you could play moonlight sonata on an iphone with no musical training. it's not the most complex of tracks.
which isn't to say it's not beautiful. just simple, like an Italian meal.
