Well, not everyone lives in the USA so we don't really care about the part:
acceptable grounds for the confiscation of your phone and further investigation of you and your property.
It's still important for all of us outside to prevent NSA from snooping on us. I have a startup company - ok, it's not about a completely world changing idea, but imagine it was - what is to say that the NSA was not going to monitor our conversations, take the best of our idea and sell/distribute it to some entrepreneurial heavy players in the USA? The same goes about any new creation for industry.
These people that come here and say they don't see any problem in the NSA checking all their communications because they don't do anything wrong, are just some very dumb people that never had a great idea in their life, so they don't really see any problem in others to know everything they are working on.
My thought exactly. Perhaps the secondary effects don't out-weight the benefits for normal circumstances where you can just exercise instead of taking the drug. But it might well be a great step to allow astronauts to maintain a much healthier physique during long journeys in a zero gravity environment.
Real exercise only works on the muscles that you use.
Actually muscle growth comes mostly from the metabolic alterations your body suffers after exercise, when it triggers, all your muscles get to grow, even if they where not used. That's why it's stressed over and over again that you should exercise your legs in order to have muscle growth, even when you want to have big shoulders. This is because the legs are the biggest muscle group in your body and exercising them triggers the metabolic mechanism responsible for muscle growth.
Sure, let's all bash Gladwell because he is nothing more than some media semi-famous guy and we obviously shouldn't take his word for granted just because of that. Altough strangely he is quite willing to give sources, and his books are full of them which you can check by yourself and see the truth, or at least, the reasoning behind his arguments.
No, let's instead trust the Ask a Korean! blog, that completely unbiased source of scientific proof and meticulous and independent analysis of the real data behind the all issue here.
I feel much better informed now. Thanks for posting this Slashdot!
The comparison is from last month, and if you read the iOS post about the browsers, you can see the testing methodology changed a bit. But still, using the new tests, Firefox still comes out in the back, altough in that case Opera surpasses Chrome. That part will be updated very soon.
I love how people don't seem to understand the therm: Comparison. there is not such thing a a completely free country. What we are debating here is that there freer countries than the USA.
Yes, all free... unless your opinions on the history of WWII differ from the "official version". Or if you are muslim, and want to wear observant clothing. Or if you have a reason to defend yourself. Etc.
I think that you don't undsertand the concept of comparisons. I was not stating that these countries are perfectly free. I was stating that they are freer than the USA.
I agree with you. If you truly feel you're doing something which is in the best interest of your country and or the world then you should be prepared to go to prison.
Seems reasonable. Tomorrow morning, when you wake up and say goodbye to your kids before going to work, please let them know that "papa may not be coming home because we does something good for your country and the world, and as such he may be locked in jail forever right this afternoon" or else you can tell them "see you home later for dinner because I have a shitty, non-important job that doesn't really add anything to society so you don't need to fear for my security".
Perhaps he didn't want to spend his life in jail and later be hailed as an hero. Perhaps he just wanted that - you for instance - and your compatriots where not so ignorant and understand that he is already one and actually stand up and raised your/their voice for him - like you should have done - instead of bashing his name.
That was not the issue you posed, nor the one I asked to.
You stated that developers wouldn't bother to optimize games for the PS4 after doing it for the XBox one.
I stated that the hardware has the same architecture but the GPU is more potent, so yes, the developers will take advantage of it cause it's as easy as choosing an higher setting in the 3D engine they are using.
If you want to troll by changing the subject now, be my guest and talk alone.
The processor is the same. The graphics card is also the same architecture but more potent. So yes, it's pretty easy actually and it's done in... let me see every PC game. You make a version for the Xbox One and then just increase some graphic settings, like 8x antialising instead of 4x lets say.
In this generation, It's really as easy of increasing some quality settings values in whatever 3D engine the devs are using.
He says that if he's sent to Sweden, Sweden will extradite him to the U.S.. There's no actual evidence for that, and no real reason to believe it.
Assange stated repeated times that we would face the justice in Sweden in case Sweden let clear that Assange wouldn't be extradited to the USA. Sweden refused to grant that.
as a lay person when was the last time you needed to convert from kilometers to liters?
About this morning when I went to the grocery store and asked for 25 meters of bananas and 12 seconds of potatoes. The lady at the counter asked me if I wanted 7 Km/h of milk to go with it, but I politely told her that my girlfriend just bough 11 pascal of it so we still have enough for the next 5 newtons.
Once again, they didn't address the real 2 problems of Chrome:
- On demand loading of pages (at least) like Firefox does. Many of us have lots of pages open in the browser. Firefox only loads those that we visit upon starting, from what I read Opera is working on that... Chrome chokes and slows to a crawl and ramps up the memory usage of the system.
- An usable tab manager? Please? Is that so complicated to understand? How the hell are we supposed to use a browser that keeps shrinking the tab handlers until the point they are just a few pixels with no information whatsoever instead of just doing the obvious and scroll them? And how - in this day and age - Chrome still doesn't have an usable tab grouping manager like Firefox and Opera? Have you ever tried to figure out where a tab is when Chrome has 20 or 30 open ones?
Sure... 5% load speed increase and the same old bad usability... that's what we need.
For me and many Mac users the question is: Does it support HFS+ for a connected external drive now?
Previous versions didn't (neither does DDWRT), although you could find the drivers in some obscure place you could not make it work because of kernel support (you could use the HFS, minus +, in some way just to read tough). So far, as I'm lead to believe, only Tomato firmware correctly supports HFS+. I didn't' test it myself tough, so I still take that with a bit of salt.
Sorry but you're full of it. Hate to break it to you but that's how all UI libraries work by definition!
Sorry, but you are full of it.
Good implementations of cross platform development UI libraries use the native UI toolkit of the platform. Things like SWIG or Appcelerator Titanium use the platform native UI, so when you tell me that kind of thing doesn't exist, you are either ignorant or you are willingly putting out false facts in order to justify your opinion.
QT has some very cool stuff, some nice libraries/utilities that allow you to program the algorithmic part of some app in it and use it everywhere. That part is great.
Problem is, QT is not aimed for app developers, because no way someone that wants to release an app for profit would indulge in this almost pornographic way of cross platforming. QT just has all these images of controllers from the platforms it runs on, and them puts them on top of it's implementation to have a similar look of the platform it's running on at the moment. And well, the look is not that similar and the functionality of the platform, on most of the cases just isn't there.
The end result will always seem an hack, no matter how much work you put into it. And for all that work you take to make your app look almost rightand behaving acceptably, you would probably spend less time and get it looking/behaving perfectly if you just used the native coding tools of the platforms you want to run your app in.

Although I can believe this to be true in the Desktop - at least in Windows desktop.
The truth is that on the Android platform the situation is quite diferent. You can check this link: http://www.cactusinception.info/2013/06/android-browser-benckmark-june-2013.html

The guy being screwed up in Sweden to please the USA?
I love how people don't seem to understand the therm: Comparison. there is not such thing a a completely free country. What we are debating here is that there freer countries than the USA.
I wonder if you were a naturalist and went around naked in Dallas vs Stockholm, how would your rights be regarded in both places...
And what is that got to do with freedom of speech?
Lived in 3 different random European countries and I can certainly make that claim.
Yes, all free ... unless your opinions on the history of WWII differ from the "official version". Or if you are muslim, and want to wear observant clothing. Or if you have a reason to defend yourself. Etc.

Err.. Netherlands? Switzerland? Norway? Finland? Iceland? Sweden? Denmark? Germany? France? Portugal? Slovenia? Ireland? Australia? New Zealand? Canada?
