I thought so too, the summary was somewhat misleadingly worded on that front, I mean who thinks end-users are going to use an API (especially in an app they didn't write)? And because this places a burden on the app developers to implement the API, it is still going to favor bigger and more established companies who can more easily bear the burden, though less so because (presumably) once you have it in, there's no recurring fee to keep it going.

Honestly, both are excellent text editors. I, like most programmers, use the one that was favored at my university. Not because it was necessarily better, but because lots of other people used it and helped me get over the learning curve. I still use VIM today on every operating system I use or am forced to use.
Interesting. At my school, emacs was the editor of choice, and I still ended up using vim.

I don't get it. If congress can't set a federal drinking age how can they outlaw drugs? If the feds needed a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol how come one wasn't needed for the war on drugs?
Little known fact: The constitution was repealed by FDR shortly after Pearl Harbor. Prohibition was before, the war on drugs was after.
This obviously means that we are going to need better technology. We'll need technology that will be able to give us a full color representation of your completely nude body, but only if you're a hot chick. - Your Friendly local TSA Agent
Even better, implement beer goggle technology into these full body scanners, so no matter how the passenger really looks, the TSA agent will never need eye bleach at the end of his or her shift.
How about reverse beer goggles. No matter how hot the people going through the scanner are, the agents that see the scans will want to gouge their eyes out with a spoon.
No. Just like the devil's pitchfork that started this all. Not to mention large chunks of the remainder of christian beliefs. But when has that ever stood in the way of christians believing what they want?
In true slashdot fashion, I haven't RTFA. However, I see a number of people saying the article mentions attacks targeted at social media, android phones, and microsoft. As I don't use any of these, I would like to tell the hackers: Great! Keep up the good work.
If you'll recall, Crematoria had a dawn, as that was what they were running from in the movie; tide-locked planets can't have a dawn. I suspect extremes like on Crematoria (which happen to a lesser extent on the moon, btw - 100-390K at the equator according to wikipedia) are from two primary factors: first, being much closer to the sun, and second, less of an atmosphere (ozone in particular) for thermal regulation.
What is their agenda? (other than to promote lung health, which no reasonable person could criticize)
When their agenda includes banning a legal product because they think it sends the wrong message, then they've crossed the line. They've done noble work over the years, but they're becoming as bad as those fools from the Center For Science In The Public Interest. If you want to convince someone to change habits, more power to them. If you're trying to ban a legal product because, well, you just know what's good for them, then ALA can go pound sand.
Note: I don't even smoke. Never have. But ALA is just being a nannying busybody here.
It wouldn't make much sense pushing to ban an illegal product, now would it?
I would like to point out that in both of these cases, the subjects in question were under the influence of drugs, and presumably they would have both acted differently sober (and it appears that both of those situations were caused by the drugs in the first place). Watts was, presumably, not under any such effects.
I won't be switching DNS servers until/unless I notice a problem with my ISP's, but if I do need to switch, or even just test my internet configuration, I'll probably use Google's servers because they have addresses I can memorize: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
As I understand your post, you're saying that animals domesticated solely for food will (mostly) die out if this lab meat process goes ahead. I think PETA and others who refuse to eat meat based on the common mistreatment of factory farm animals ("Ethical vegetarians") would say that it's better for these species not to exist than to be mistreated in factory farms. They might take issue with how we get there (if e.g. we just slaughtered all food animals, or turned them loose, etc.), but I think they would actually prefer extinction over "torture" for animals.
...
That said, AT&T should have the right to block my use of the network if they don't like what I'm doing on it...
I must disagree with you there. AT&T is/should be a neutral service provider. IPhone users pay $30 every month for *unlimited* data bandwidth. That ought to mean, although in practice providers never acknowledge and rarely accept it, that the user can use as much bandwidth as they need/want/can doing whatever they want whenever they want (and as such a neutral carrier, the provider need not even ensure that such activity is legal).
As a sidenote, does anyone know what this app does that isn't available through the regular Google voice service and safari anyway? I don't think bandwidth should come into this at all, should it?

This doesn't do us a lot of good in most applications if we have to cool our processors with liquid nitrogen.
Except that most slashdotters already cool their systems with liquid nitrogen, or would love the excuse to make it so.
More importantly, is there a way to disable F1 in Windows? I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally hit it when trying to hit Esc.
A screwdriver will work. It's even cross-platform.

Not unless the sun is sending us entangled particles and measuring them just the right way at just the right time.
Man up and learn Objective C
Knowing objective-c isn't going to do any good if there isn't a program on the tablet to compile it.
