And the first rule of getting away with a hack is never discussing it with anyone. Not that I hack, but I've had friends who were very good hackers that wouldn't tell me ANYTHING they had done.
I think that holding the phone is on the safe side too
Actually, I used to agree with you. But since California started doing hands-free only, the number of idiots swerving around in their lane has decreased tremendously. And the only people that still do it are the ones that are still breaking the law.
If you're eating un-sweet tomatoes, you need to stop buying them at the store and plant your own tomato garden. Trust me, when vine-ripened, they get too sweet to put on sandwiches and people eat them like fruit.
Because iPhones & iPod Touches can do a lot more than just play games?
Even more than this, they play a different TYPE of game. I am constantly trying to get my daughters to eat, go to bed, get in the car or whatever while playing the DS. The answer, "Just a second." and "But Dad, I'm almost to the point where I can save."
That doesn't work for adults. We sit in the doctor's office or wherever and as responsible adults, need to turn the system off at a moment's notice. Games for phones are made with that in mind. DS games are not.
1. It's gotten so bad, we tend to have suppression of majorities. Try being white or a Christian in America today. You're getting attacked left and right (no pun intended).
2. That's why we were supposed to have States' rights, so that the locals could do what's best for them.
I tried to give fingerprints as part of coaching kids' soccer. The fingerprinters were using an electronic device to take them. They eventually let me coach anyway despite the fact that they never could get a valid print from me because of my sweaty hands (or maybe because my electrical resistance is different from everyone else, not sure). They probably shouldn't do fingerprinting outside on a 104 day with no paper towels, since they were having a LOT of problems.
I'm playing Portal 2 PC and I really wanted to use a Logitech gamepad I have. I found a replacement DLL (from the XBox 360 version, so clearly they already support it with 2 minutes work) and was able to get it working, but why isn't the configuration option just there anyway? Not everyone likes mouse+keyboard. Many of us are used to game controllers and work better with them.
Then, they did a software update and it crashed my game (my fault, I replaced the file). After 20 hours of reinstall (because Steam is so awesome!), now I had to switch to keyboard/mouse because there's no way to get the gamepad working anymore, even though they already did the work to support it.
Look, if MAME can figure out how to support keyboards, mice, gamepads, etc., in their "press a key" routine, it really can't be that hard. I don't need a pretty picture that doesn't look a thing like my gamepad/keyboard/mouse anyway, just make the dang things work and give me options!
Actually, patents cover an expression of an idea. They explicitly CANNOT cover an idea, although companies and judges are edging ever closer to that line.
"Clean room" meaning that it's too late, because you already looked at the code. But if you do rewrite it, make sure you don't have the code in front of you as you do it.
Which turns the entire patent system on its head. The whole point of patents was to publish the invention so that people could look at it, decide if they wanted to use it (or find a way to compete with it) and then license it or go around it. All of this fosters innovation, since those that look at it and license it are quicker to market and those that compete increase competition.
The whole "treble damages for willful infringement" nonsense just proves that the patent in question was not a novel invention that couldn't have been easily copied by another design team without even looking. Because it just was copied by another design team without even looking. And why even publish patents if nobody is allowed to look at them? The whole point was that people would use the publications to get ideas of things to license. That's also why you were supposed to put your patent # on your useful invention, so that other people could know how to look it up.

Mute the soundtrack before posting the video on YouTube. It's only the sound that cannot be recorded without permission...
Or just remove the soundtrack before posting it. I assume the guy still gets beaten even with no sound...

I'm just waiting for the Power Droids like in Star Wars. GRONK!

Actually, the "swine flu" ended up being far less deadly than most "pedestrian" flus. It's the media that can't admit they were wrong.
Any DVD reader can read it. Compatibility with those should last beyond our lifetime.
Many neighborhoods in Southern California are required to have at least one tree at every house.
A couple points:
1. It's gotten so bad, we tend to have suppression of majorities. Try being white or a Christian in America today. You're getting attacked left and right (no pun intended).
2. That's why we were supposed to have States' rights, so that the locals could do what's best for them.
They used to fall on their swords, so I'm going to have to disagree with you...

So that other article was right. IQs are rising.
It does when you are the most powerful nation on earth...
Yeah, there's probably no Gideon Bible in the nightstand...
If you're referring to the Biblical account, nobody lost their lives. They just all started speaking different languages.
I never think of myself as European. I've never been there. I think of myself as an American. I suggest all Americans do the same.
Assuming PC games support gamepads. In my experience, few do.

Atom is WAYYY faster than P4. P4 has no hope of running Windows 7 adequately, where as Atom handles it nicely with 2GB RAM.
