People like you badly need for there to be products other than Apple products. For some reason it matters that you have a company's product-line to champion.
It's really a strange phenomenon and Apple takes great advantage of it.
I've been using QuickOffice since I bought it for my Palm 3. No, it is, or it was, completely stand-alone. Since Google bought it, it's hard to say, though.
Good question. Why do the Persians feel threatened by Israel? It can't be from past experience, as Israel has never indicated it wanted to use their nuclear weapons against Iran.
Put it this way: Blizzard is an entertainment company. They have a lot of paying customers who play their game 'by the rules' and enjoy doing so. It is less entertaining for their players/customers if there are other people manipulating the game with automated functionality.
If someone showed up at a bowling alley, entered in a tournament, and just ran down the lane and kicked over the pins, a bowling alley operator would be similarly justified in throwing them out.
People who actually play WoW find bots annoying.
If your form of enjoyment is hacking other people's games, why not show up at golf courses with All Terrain Vehicles? It's certainly more extreme. If you like cheating and coding, perhaps write a solitaire game that cheats for you.
Nice try. Now hustle on back to your hidden forum on dailykos (or whichever fever swamp you hail from) and tell them what a good job you did pretending to be a conservative. They'll all agree you did a fine job of reinforcing stereotypes.
I remember a version of Powerbook that was 'supported' on NetBSD, but the only way that NetBSD could run on it was over a serial terminal connection, because the screen wasn't supported.
The Debt Ceiling can remain ignored for months. The government takes in enough tax revenue each month to pay the interest on bonds many times over. There is zero possibility of the government 'defaulting' and wiping out their credit rating.
Now, if you got that government job and thought you were 'set for life' it might not work out as well.
Gary McKinnon is a UK citizen, so the UK government is probably far more motivated to protect his rights than they are for a foreigner who happens to be a fugitive in the UK. There are greater sovereignty issues when the person in question is a citizen in his own homeland.
Lego development requires one HELL of a good knowledge of tooling design. I suppose somebody knows where the parting lines are on the Lego blocks, but they sure aren't noticeable. The interchangeable nature of all the blocks built in like forever shows that the Lego developer's skills in material science are also awesome.
The tooling design of most toy components is 'shrug,' make it all fit together. Particularly cheap toys. Lego was not developed like that.
A microcontroller has almost no relationship to the kind of system that you find in a modern desktop or even mobile phone.
So you're saying that nobody should ever again program microcontrollers? All that is left to do is dance around up on the top with APIs and abstractions and 'data structures?'
So all the underlying code is written by fairies using magic dust? Or it was written back in 1993 and nobody ever needs to look at it again??
I guess 'trust the binary blobs in the device drivers' is good enough if you work with systems on a shallow enough basis.
And there's also the group party thing where people order jugs of beer and other stuff to be shared - might be hard to know who drank from which jug. I doubt Google's patent will help with that.
That part of the patent pertains to the app when used with the Google Glass plugin.
I was 'urged' by the suits at my company to file a patent application for what was essentially an H-Bridge driven by an RC multivibrator. It was a real challenge, actually, because I couldn't think up a way to make it novel enough in my description. But they pay a $100 bonus for writing it up, so what the hell.
and many people still think it's a shame that copyright doesn't work and fantasize that they could someday produce something that can be "protected" by copyright,
Everything that everybody produces IS copyrighted. By default. Even your comment above this. Inherently, because you typed it in, it's copyrighted. Now, don't let your head explode.

It's about Ebon. Slashbots wishes they could have birthed a beautiful ethical company like PayPal.
Dice. They can push Dice as a most excellent place to look for work.

A good chunk of Obama's money came from General Electric, and the big Wall Street firms.
Remember that even 3 million cars is only about 1% of the cars in the USA.
Since we're talking about Tesla, why not just say 'meet the car needs of the 1%'?
No, just you and an Anonymous Coward, it seems.

We all die, in the end.
You had other plans?

How can you be sure that her picture is next to that of a sexual predator? Maybe he was never convicted, too.

Black and White?
I actually prefer The Goon Show. Which is monophonic audio-only radio broadcasts.
I used to have a 19" Black and White console (wooden cabinet) television. In a way I wish I still did.
It's what gets published in the Sunday Edition of Slashdot, actually.

(None of which is true.)
Uh... citation needed.
So, uh, you believe in instituting a Literacy Test to everybody before they are allowed to breed? Maybe even an IQ test?
This is a new twist on the ideology you generally champion here on Slashdot. Maybe you can elaborate further for us.
