Outcome 6: Anonymous has already obtained information that, when released, will be a major public relations scandal for facebook, or perhaps will be evidence of criminality. The information will be released on that day.
Probability: Possible Effect: Negligible, if measured more than 3 days after the event
I'm interested - always looking for new places to go, and this could be an excuse (not the only one) for visiting a place like Jordan.......googled Jordan, and got a page about someone called Katie Price, who seemingly also have a fun-ride.
They specifically talk about the LIGO II http://www.ligo.org/ gravity wave observatory. And yes, they believe that a gravity wave can be detected without having the ability to detect individual gravitons as baryonic particles.
Doesnt MacBook Air now come with some Intel CPU-based graphics? Then I should think pretty much anything Village Instruments can come up with, would improve matters.
Or you pay 2-3€ more on your internet bill, and get a Galaxy Tab bundled with 3G. Compare with €599 for an iPad2 with mobile data, it takes 200 months to get price-parity....well, more, since then you still need a 3G subscription for the iPad.
When you then also see companies offering Apps for Android, with the note that they are still waiting for approvals from Apple before they can release their Apps on iPad, I have a very hard time seeing the value of iPad.
Just checked Amazon UK's comparable items. On the page for the OEM version it says 84% buys the OEM version after looking at that page, 7% buys the non-OEM version...
How about corporate stubbornness? We've asked Internal IT for Win7 licenses, so we can upgrade, but they wont let us. WinXP works just fine it seems....
When the industry starts giving people what they want - DRM-free stuff they can 'own' and use whichever way they like, at a reasonable price - then piracy will go down.
you CAN get drm free mp3s from itunes now. has that actually decreased any piracy? nope.
Current - Whatever is currently released. Only bugfixes usually get ported to this release. Currently FF5. Beta - Feature-frozen and reasonably stable, but not quite ready for prime time. Will be the next release. Currently FF6. Aurora - Feature-frozen, but not stable. Early QA happens here, though it gets more fleshed out in Beta. Currently FF7. Nightly - This is where the new feature development happens. Currently FF8.
FF5 - Current version - Keeps complaining that google's javascripts are crashed FF5 - Current Beta - Almost as eager as FF5 to complain about google's javascripts
So far I have not seen any differences worth mentioning - They both seem to hate Google

Not tried Monster cables, but tried others. Have a 9m HDMI, that is much more susceptible to noise than my 15m HDMI. Litterally, TV in bedroom does NOT like the 9m, TV in livingroom does. 15m (Neet) cable works perfect in both cases, but also quite a bit more expensive (£30).
I only have OS x 10.6.8, and I cannot render most PDFs I get correctly.
Stuff is usually missing, either a few bullets in a document, or whole content (fun boardinpass - only barcode and rudimentary graphics available). In some cases, extra lines are added.
Might be bad PDFs, but they seem to render OK on other people's Windows machines.
Both opinions in TFA are right. The traffic flow, overall, is better but they also lead to many people not really knowing how to behave in them.
Um, people can learn....right?
I used to think so, then I moved to Belgium - Here, people STILL have no idea how roundabouts work, and gladly cut from the inner lane to an exit, ignoring all other traffic... or go the wrong way around because it is shorter, or do any number of other insane things.
No, roundabouts are not something new here, why do you ask?
From basic observation I have seen execs moving from BlackBerry to iPhone & Android because the latter platforms are in fact now both capable of syncing reasonably well with Exchange.
At the place I work (just shy of 2000 heads last I heard), Execs are all on Apple's iPhone since it is "the cool thing to do", and the rest of us are forced to use Blackberries, despite an insane failure-rate and crashes and other problems. (I'm on my 3rd BB in 2 years, and being told repeatedly by management that there are no problems with BBs... plenty others with the same experience).
Now, BBs are great for emails - sure, text could be a bit better, but its quite good at emails and MS Messenger and better than anything I've tried in that respect. Physical keyboard is also nice. Sound is horrible, the devices (currently 9000 Bold) are slow and error-prone, and 20% of the time people cannot call me because it has crashed (again - I'm far from alone in this observation), but it does Email pretty darn well. As for the Exec team's iPhone? No idea, but I actually think some of the emails I've received have gotten even shorter and, ehh, "less well-considered", which makes me think that its not good for emailing.

yeah, someone should make a pre-flight-check simulator :D

It really doesn't take a lot for something to be considered old and/or antiquated these days.
Depends - you live somewhere with energy-efficient buildings where snow doesn't melt away, or the US?

You _will_ _not_ get a lower quality picture from a cheap HDMI picture. You will get no picture at all.
Are you sure? Do you mind telling my TV and cheap cable this? 'cuz I'm sure they are giving me a picture, but distorted, with the lower half missing.
So, eh, am thinking Real Life(tm) just proved your theory wrong.
Not tried Monster cables, but tried others.

This is why you hire editor's to proof these things children.
Hire editor's what? And what are "these things children"?
(or did you forget to hire an editor to proofread this thing, Anonymous Coward?)
