The fact that it is our first female PM is what makes it news.
TFA is titled "Gillard ousts Rudd in bloodless coup". It mentions her being the first female PM, but that's not the focus of the article.
That would have made it a pretty retarded article. First female whatever is uninteresting non-news.
This is/. and I was required to use a car analogy. I could have just as easily said "If I find an iPhone prototype and use the personal information in it to accidentally steal someone's identity, it doesn't absolve me of the liability - even if that old lady had it coming, er, left her iPhone behind in that bar."
Nonsense. Maybe you should come up with an analogy that doesn't involve anything being damaged, destroyed, killed, or harmed in any way, and with the action being invisible to the supposed victim.
... seismologists and senior members of Italy’s Civil Protection Department and the National Geophysics and Vulcanology Institute — are being investigated based on their statements to the Major Risks Committee on March 31, 2009, that a series of small earthquakes (none over magnitude 4.0) over the previous six months did not mean that a large earthquake was imminent.
So the question is if a series of small earthquakes is a definitive indicator of an upcoming large earthquake. According to the seismologists it wasn't.
So, is it? I don't know. Probably not.
But, assuming it is, can you realistically charge someone with manslaughter for deaths caused by a natural disaster?
Pornography makes up 37 per cent of the total number of Web pages online
According to the report, which looked at a representative sample of around four million extracted URLs...
So they used sheer number of URLs to make up shit about the overall composition of content on the internet?
Retarded.
Besides URLs being a poor indicator of amount/accessibility of content, they didn't even draw any conclusions.
If it turned out that 1% of sites were porn, or that 99% of sites were porn, there would have been no difference in the article.
It's just "Yep, porn exists. Maybe you should think about security! *WINK WINK*" -security provider
Agreed. In particular the interfaces for console vs PC have significantly different designs, which are generally left unaltered in the port, making the game suffer terribly.
... might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work
Before allowing them to read the Constitution? Really?
Which essentially means that the program is not voluntary.
They just get the option of paying for the school's crazy macbook program either directly or via taxes.
Never. Theorizing that there may be a way to overcome an event horizon and actually overcoming it are quite different.
How are they going to "feed it angular momentum and charge"? Magic?
There's nothing inherently wrong with a gesture-based interface.
Quickly drawing simple shapes for whatever reason is not something you're going to be doing for 30 minutes at a time.
Suggesting that someone do that is pretty silly. You might as well complain about buttons on the front of microwaves. Using those for hours at a time always makes my arms sore.
Not being 'seriously juicy or even particularly interesting' is probably the main reason many of them need to be declassified in the first place. Guarding worthless secrets is a waste of effort.

I'd count an infinite loop as a bug...
Maybe if it weren't intentional and explicitly defined as an infinite loop.
The same thing can pretty much be said about the whole internet to be fair.
I didn't see anything about porn tweets.

If I accidentally run over someone with my car
The difference between that and accidentally storing useless bits of data is obvious.
Such garbage would likely be thrown out regardless of the time limit.

The accuracy of the controllers isn't really important. Even if they magically worked completely flawlessly, they're still stupid gimmicks.
That's not to say that stupid gimmicks can't be entertaining in certain ways, but they're hardly a replacement for any other kind of input device.
You could always buy the game but play the superior pirated version.
Or, you know, not buy DRM-ridden loads of shit.
Wikipedia != dictionary
The $10 million price was clearly an error. It takes much more to become president.
It doesn't count if I'm paraphrasing a poorly formatted post duh
Why do you post in monotype?
He must do it to make sure his comment is simply skipped over.
I naturally tend to ignore anything with unusual formatting. It's like they're shouting "Look at me! Look at me!". No, shut up.
Don't you have to be a moron not to realize that friend request claims to be from someone you're already friends with?
When you're trying to serve malicious links to morons it's okay if they're, you know, morons.

How many of them are just going to get robbed by other students?
Why not Netbooks with Linux?
Those aren't nearly as shiny. How will a dull utilitarian machines ever capture the interest of high school students?

The difference is that South Korea is trying to create rockets that don't explode.

Doesn't it sort of do that anyway?
