It doesn't have to compete with any recent Android or iPhone model, it just have to make the mis-designed FreeRunner more usable for the few geeks that have one.
A friend gave me the Neo FreeRunner a long time ago. The graphics chip in combination with the display really killed the device. It's insanely slow, which I assume scared a lot of potential developers away. I hope this new version will be more balanced.
It's normally not illegal to lie. If I tell you that my car is green even when it's not, there's nothing you can do about it other than ignore me. That's probably why we don't have such a long tradition of punishing liars.
Yes, and there are numerous formats already available exactly the size of a DVD. For example a CD. Maybe they should have written 1000x instead, since it fits about 1000 times as much as a CD. Blu-ray is the most recent standard, and that's what you would expect someone to use as a reference when it comes to new storage media.
First, all search results on google shows at least a snippet of an article, and a short article would be displayed in its full glory. Second, you conveniently left out "graphic representations" from the list, which can mean a simple thing as link, if the newpaper happens to use Times New Roman as their font.
If a judge told me to remove all of that from my personal website with a hefty fine, I wouldn't gamble. If you don't want to lose the dead tree media, you won't have much success trying to stop automatic indexers. They hardly index the paper edition.
The distinction is of minor importance here I think. If they are not allowed to be on Google's servers, they can not possibly show them in any search results unless they do some client-side trickery. And if they are not allowed to show any search results, there is absolutely no point keeping the data hidden on their servers if no one can't reach it.
I don't like the idea of my search results being censored.
Then you should make sure that the copyright laws in your jurisdiction are sane. Google didn't do this voluntarily, they were ordered by a court to:
withdraw the articles, photographs and graphic representations of Belgian publishers of the French - and German-speaking daily press, represented by the plaintiff, from all their sites
The english document that is available seem to support Google.
Order the defendant to withdraw the articles, photographs and graphic representations of Belgian publishers of the French - and German-speaking daily press, represented by the plaintiff, from all their sites (Google News and "cache" Google or any other name within 10 days of the notification of the intervening order, under penalty of a daily fine of
1,000,000.- ? per day of delay
It sounds very weird, probably machine-translated, but withdraw the articles, photographs and graphic representations of Belgian publishers of the French - and German-speaking daily press, represented by the plaintiff, from all their sites sounds pretty straight-forward.
So what's Germany supposed to do about the insane copyright hysteria in the US, where Google/Youtube is located? Even if Germany discarded all their copyright laws overnight, Google would still get in serious trouble if they didn't do exactly as their copyright overlords tell them to.
This is pretty informative, so I guess I have to use my karma to make this anonymous post a little more visible.
If the societies have strong religious ties, it's likely that the principal of the school is a religious nut, and freaked out when he saw Jesus. That would explain why the teachers didn't have any problems with it.
You haven't read 1984? The government need the excuse of a permanent war against an unspecified enemy in order to get away with most anything, making it easy to approve tax hikes, keeping operations secret in the name of state security, and keeping the citizens in place. A few decades ago you had the "Communists". Up until recently you had the "Terrorists". In a decade you'll have the "Hackers". Since they do not really exist in any tangible or organized way they can not be beaten and they are no real threat, but they are useful for scaring the population.
So hm. This argumentation also means that if you mess with a company you're not actually messing with the company but with its stockholders and all its employees. After all, it's going to hurt them, and they didn't ask for it, but are just innocent bystanders. Any corporation would be free to continue their asshattery because as soon as a group of people retaliate, there are other people getting hurt.
There's no problem at all, unless of course someone would go ahead and make this the default setting for the most popular and visible Linux distribution for non-techies out there today. But why would someone put together a hack like this and release before it's stable.
It works like that in Sweden too, and it is because of international agreements. The age of consent is 15, but you're pretty much not allowed to watch the act you're partaking in because now we have laws aginst actually watching child pornography too.
And of course these figures have to be normalized with regards to the number of flight-hours ecah company has. Perhaps there are more Boeing planes in the air than there are planes built by Tupolev?

What software stack and version do you use exactly? My poor phone is just resting on a shelf now. Could use some stable *working* software.

No, stuff like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2 is used in practice for this purpose. A one mega/giga/terabyte salt, wtf?
Relatively insecure, as in, plaintext.
No, no, you got it all wrong. They called The Police, you know, Sting.

Oh ok, so I'll just go to my generic local facebook and post something.

Yes.. it does.. for once.

Actually, we have the pirate bay, so I'm sure we'll find it eventually.

Well, in China, the government owns the corporations. In the US it's the other way around.
There are times I wish that you could buy modpoints, this is one of those. This is epic.
Thinkpad X40 here. 12", 4:3, full size keyboard. Just need a time machine so you can go back to buy a new one.
