I'm sure this kind of scheme would give the owner some warm fuzzy feelings, knowing that they did it themselves, and that in principle they're 'saving the planet' by growing without pesticides...
But really, you'd have to voluntarily ignore the total financial AND environmental costs.
How many veggies do you need to grow and eat before you break-even on the cost of the setup?
How many to grow & eat before the reduced pesticide use makes up for the energy-costs and pollution associated with fabrication, distribution and eventual safe disposal of the hardware?
I know that's not 'the' point, but it does need to be considered int eh context of the 'cool' factor
Why would a billion dollar company bet on anything in this manner?
If there was technical uncertainty before they embarked on the HTML5 route - why wouldn't they have done extensive feasibility testing before commencing? Lord knows they have the resources.
FB isn't developed by dumb or naive people - unless there's a realistic answer to this, I guess we can only assume he's bad-mouthing HTML5 for his own (nefarious) purposes.
These days, sadly,/. is increasingly regurgitating any bullshit article they know is going to get developers/IT staff/geeks 'inflamed' with righteous indignation.
It's perfect because they get all the site traffic without being seen to be agreeing with the opinions of the author.
Feel free to Reply with your righteously indignant refutal of the BS article.
The fact that iDevice users in general aren't accustomed to error messages whatsoever brings up a philosophical question..
If an App falls over and no one sees an error message, did it really fail?
what the hell; are you really seeking to equate the Australian Sex Party with a hypothetical 'Child Porn Party'?
Are you saying those who oppose this think no line should be drawn anywhere?
Get a grip dude.
Massively online open courses aren't just YouTube videos. They are far more interactive. As people like myself who took part in the Standford courses can testify; it's no joke to understand and complete the tests and exercises that accompany the video content. Sure, it may be easier to cheat online than in a real classroom, but implying that all you have to show after these courses for your comprehension is a 'video history' is naive and/or ignorant.
the #1 thing in my view is to have a period set aside, so that Developers can work on/learn/develop something new, which may or may not be directly applicable to the project at hand.
- it should (preferably) at least have some relationship to software development
- it doesn't have to be a lot of time - even say an hour a week, or one Friday afternoon a month. At Google, employees get 20% of their time to work on whatever they want.
- the developer has to report back his findings to the rest of the group
How about waiting until the product is actually launched before starting to say how it can never match the iPad?
How about waiting till the product is actually available before unveiling it? As someone else said - this is one thing Apple does that makes their announcements really mean something. There's no evidence given the vague specs that MS can ever match the iPad, and given that they're at least 3 generations behind, it's a fair comment until MS give us some concrete reason to think otherwise.
'The Point' is that any sect of Christianity that takes the Old Testament literally is as misguided as the Taliban.
We're saying Sharia Law is looney - we're not making exceptions for people think Leviticus was or is a template for our society either.
high P2P traffic shares.' In the U.S. legal content delivery has flourished...
Please, let's not buy into this bullshit that P2P traffic is not and cannot also be used for legal content delivery
That's called aiding and abetting RIAA's theft of technical terminology.
I was going to say... the game came out in the 70s, mankind has already lost countless man-hours of productivity to it.
Too little, too late, as usual.
As the link of TFA says; the congestion data is derived from the opt-in data they crowdsource from 'My Location'.
The only way your 'traffic data' could be shared 'unknowingly' is through ignorance.
Really? One project; three three-letter-acronyms? OK,.NET isn't an acronym, but still.. Playing TLA Bingo in our developer meetings will get too easy if this continues

Cooling won't be a problem..
The importance of the lighter is that it was sold during the time of the rape
How would one purchase a lighter while committing rape?
*ducks*
Too poor taste?
Heh.. but if it were legal - the value would plummet

Such elements do not occur in nature
the stars beg to differ
you're doing pretty well if, the day that designers criticize your UI, it makes headline news in the geek world.
just FYI the "I'm not impressed with the iPhone 5" people are being just as histrionic as the fanbois this time around.

That's not "a little more", that's "nobody will buy it because it costs three times as much".
or, two times more.
FTFY.

You don't say...
By virtue of being a binary classification algorithm, it is.
