I hope it does, or else we'll be having dawn at 9am during winter.
It's presumably only talking about changing Summer time. IIRC useful daylight in summer is usually from around 5AM to maybe 10:30PM, so this would change our daylight from 6-11:30. That would be pretty cool.
There are millions of people who text, update facebook, and talk on the phone while driving every day, it could happen to you, me, anyone!

Where I live, it is illegal to do so. If whatever you're doing is distracting your attention from safe control of the 1000-3000kg object travelling at likely more than 30mph, then stop fucking doing it.
As others have pointed out, the post could have been right before the accident. It could also have been a couple of minutes before or after the accident, depending on the time difference between Facebook's servers, and the victim's mobile.. knowing what the update said would help somewhat. But it seems pretty obvious that it would have been before, because if the tweet was "oops, I just killed someone" then it would be almost guaranteed that it was posted after the crash.
I found it difficult to tell if it was a joke or a serious question.. too used to speaking to people who don't have a good grasp of English idioms I suppose.
That information is only powerful if people are willing to stand up for it. One or the other is pretty useless on its own, as the rioters presumably ended up being quite uncoordinated, and the ISPs seem to have been easily shut down. If the rioters protected the ISPs then it could have been quite effective.
Yeah I don't really feel I need to watch it again. Maybe in 5 years or so. The first few comments here from people saying it was "good" seem to be the ones that were already fans of the graphic novel. Now, I like things to stay pretty true to the originals too, but what is good in a book isn't necessarily good in a movie.
Hmm.. I don't remember feeling it was an issue more than any other office suites I've used (stuff like ClarisWorks on Mac when I was a kid, and more recently OpenOffice). I find the traditional menus a lot easier to browse through quickly than the ribbon though, they're much more compact, and I find vertical lists much more pleasant for glancing through quickly. Plus, I really do think the previous menus had more sense to them. Even when I'd never done something before, it wasn't that hard to figure it out, but the ribbon is just plain annoying.
Selling FOSS software is completely approved of in the GPL and an easy way to buy it may actually encourage people to pay for it and encourage people to write it.
What guarantee do you have that the software is going to the people who wrote it though? Anyone is allowed to sell GPLed code.. and I don't see every single person that's ever contributed a patch to GIMP, LibreOffice etc getting recompensed for their work (plus many of them obviously don't require, and possibly don't even want such compensation).
I hate when people don't actually tell me that an employee has left. Last week someone was like "did you know that Elaine is back already?" and I was suprised to hear that she'd even left. Sure, come to me when you need a new account, but if someone leaves nobody says a thing. In fact I'm going to email our new HR dept right now, it should be part of the procedure when people leave..
The one guy I heard of that got a PS3 for MGS4 actually bought a HDTV and PS3 and then sold them all once he completed it.. then again that guy was a bit strange. We're not talking about exclusives here, we're talking about cross platform games. For any games that already have an OSX port, getting the actual games to run on Linux would take very little extra work. I think the existence of WINE is making it a pretty easy decision for them right now though.
I bought an XBox recently. I certainly didn't do it for the exclusives, I just did it because a lot of my friends that I wanted to play online with can't afford PS3s.
I think it's reasonable to expect the login security of Wordpress to be pretty hardened. The CMS that I wrote won't even do anything unless you've logged in first. I tried running skipfish on it after giving it a login account, and other than filling a few tables with failed attempts at SQL injections, it was fine. That's not to say it's 100% secure, or more secure than something like Wordpress though. I'd trust the system that's very public and likely subject to constant attacks more than my own one, which very few people even know exists. I definitely wouldn't want to post the address of it up somewhere like here or 4chan D: Actually I'd be really interested to see the results and learn some lessons, but not when it would actually damage the company I work for.
The guys that they got to redesign our public website recently were complete idiots, I bet there are a few security flaws in there... I should maybe have a play about with it..
Writing your own CMS from scratch and then exposing it to the public Internet is like writing your own "killer" encryption algorithm, it just shouldn't be done
You also need to make sure that the library you're using for parameterised queries implements them properly.. some libraries are apparently lazy and just concatenate stuff together behind the scenes rather than doing it the right way.

I think my Windows 5/6 phones updated themselves for daylight savings.. I'd be surprised if my Android didn't. I'm very surprised that iPhones don't.
I hope it does, or else we'll be having dawn at 9am during winter.

But look good sir, he is short and stout! Behold his handle.. and there his spout!

When "their job" is to shut themselves down then I don't quite agree with what you're saying, no.

I was excepted
I was accepted. What kind of English teacher did you.. oh wait.
Are you enquiring of the dictionary definition, or making a joke about fellatio in prison?
What if that party also supports cannibalism, or some other thing that you presumably dislike?
I concur, better to be pleasantly surprised than slightly disappointed because of your expectations.
"Trust but verify"? Verification results from the exact opposite of "trust" :p You're right to verify, but saying stuff like that sounds silly..

What? I remember the story he's talking about.

Dear gods! What must you think of TWITTER? :s
