The excellent developer tools are just icing on an already tasty cake.
Are you implying that the developer tools for Blackberry are excellent? I've worked extensively with developer tools for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile 6.5 when that was a thing, J2ME, and, yes, Blackberry. Blackberry's tools aren't the *worst* of the mobile platforms available... but they're pretty close.
Or maybe, just maybe, you *won't* see random people's account info. You can still play with a randomly matched person without needing to know who they are. I wonder if Google is smart enough to respect privacy at least when it comes to other people looking at it.
They don't need access to your contacts and call logs, but that permission is the same that allows them to retrieve an ID unique to your device in the form of your IMEI/MEID. There are better ways to do this, even ones that don't even require any permissions. Most companies still do it this way either for backwards compatibility (from when the other better ways were either non-existent or were not completely unique) or because of third-party libraries that require it for similar reasons. Usually this means ad networks, but it can also mean third-party gaming services, like OpenFeint (when that was still around), that want to connect you to all your games without needing an explicit login. It looks like with this new Google Play Games thing, that obstacle will be overcome by using your Google+ account instead. But that doesn't mean the permission will go away. The ad networks still need to be able to figure out who you are.
I don't know about that "visible from space" thing. Sure, anything is visible from space if you have a powerful enough lens, but even the Great Wall of China isn't visible from space to the naked eye, and even zooming out a little bit on the map shows how small it really is...
Well, there are things that make phasers superior, such as different settings (stun, kill, vaporize) much more ammo (not sure if you'd call it limitless, but I've never seen them need to recharge one), and presumably lighter and more compact than carrying guns with real bullets around.
Although I tend to agree that speed is a major component of most weapons, and they've certainly done something wrong by making them so much slower.
My physics (and Mass Effect) is a bit rusty, but I had assumed that the element zero in the weapon causes the "grain of sand" to have an increased mass, thus an increased momentum (p=mv) , thus making it harder to affect by wind and more damaging than it might otherwise be (at the normal mass of a grain of sand).
I see a correlation between the 20% of friends and 80% success rate. So all they have to do is gather data from 0% of friends, and they're 100% likely to guess the user's info!
The certificate is the latest to target a weakness that causes browsers, email clients, and other SSL-enabled apps to ignore all text following the \ and 0 characters
I have to agree. I always used to apply logical operations on sematic operands (and don't tell me you've never done it: Do you want to wear pants or shorts? Yes!)
This only gets more annoying as other people listen to you over time! Natural Language Processing lets you still answer the question correctly while not pissing of your spouse.
If I want a sermon, I'll go to church. If I want to be entertained, I'll go to the movies. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Every movie or TV show I've ever seen is preaching something - perhaps not something you or I might consider "religious" but it's preaching nonetheless.
Which is exactly what he's saying he doesn't like.
Except, of course, every time you come in, you have to enunciate "honey Mustard, not honey Roasted", and she still can't find the Honey Mustard Chicken button on the cash register, even though you're staring right at it, and you've ordered it before, and you've seen her press it before.
I work in a small company that develops for all of the above, plus Windows Mobile. For ease of internet connectivity, I would definitely go with Windows Mobile over anything else.
I just finished writing an app for the iPhone which had to upload files. Before that I ported an app from J2ME to Blackberry that had to download data, and have since ported that to Windows Mobile as well. The support for Windows Mobile is enormously more extensive than that for iPhone, and definitely has more kinks worked out. Some of the errors I run in to on the iPhone are obviously glaring bugs in the framework. However, since so few people have developed apps using Objective C and the apple framework as compared to generic C++ for Windows Mobile, there aren't any solutions or workarounds yet.
Also, the iPhone framework is somewhat restrictive on what you can do, compared to Windows Mobile, or even some J2ME devices.
Internet connectivity with the Blackberry is confusing on several levels, and good luck if you want to do anything besides HTTP.
If you're looking for power, go Windows Mobile (some new HTC device). It's by far the easiest platform I've worked with so far to debug on, and like I said, I've worked with J2ME, iPhone, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile. (Just starting on Android, so no suggestions there as yet. From what I've heard, it's api looks a lot like the iPhone).
Also, he adds, the system would ideally be fully implantable. Whenever wires protrude through the skin, as they did in the monkey experiments, they introduce risks of infection and disruption. The group plans to tackle this problem with miniaturized components and wireless technology.
Seems ripe for exploitation...
"...Quit hitting yourself! Quit hitting yourself..."
Since I happen to have Ubuntu and the latest version of Mono for that, and one particular app that I'm sitting on which would probably work in 2.0, I'm just wondering: Does anybody know if or when the upgrade will happen for Debian users?
So what's their outward-facing IP? 127.0.0.1? How selfish of them.
Oh, and this must mean that the Chinese have figured out a way to shove a 32-bit value into a 16-bit port number?

And if they decide to just go to a landfill, "catch" a bunch of plastic, then turn it in for profit?
How has nobody commented on the transparent-aluminum-like properties of this so-called "glass"?

I don't know what's going on with that website. It vaguely reminds me of Zombo.com. There's nothing there, but it's some damned fine nothing.
It's funny, cuz it really doesn't. Not in Russia anyway.
And while I'm at it, what do you need to start a bonfire? Kindling. Ii bet you can guess where that's going.
Isn't it obvious? eSilly Putty.

I'll take the table.

Just to make sure everybody knows: The necessary magnetic field and temperature applications are required only during the creation of the crystals.
I assume this is the "funniest joke of all time", yes?
I'm particularly fond of this one that doesn't translate well:
"Was ist darunter?"
"Worunter?"
"Unterhosen?! Hah!"
