In British usage, some words of French, Latin, or Greek origin end with a consonant followed by -re, with the -re unstressed and pronounced/r/. Most of these words have the ending -er in the United States. The difference is most common for words ending -bre or -tre: British spellings centre, goitre, kilometre, litre, lustre, mitre, nitre, reconnoitre, saltpetre, spectre, theatre, and titre all have -er in American spelling, as do calibre, fibre, sabre, and sombre.
Hanny's Voorwerp (meaning Hanny's object in Dutch)...
explains why Voorwerps are so rare
I would have to disagree... "objects" are quite common.
And I counter-disagree. Objects are quite rare compared to vacuum. They're just easy to spot because there's nothing between most of them except photons.
That is a good point. It is a step towards the "walled garden" Apple experience, or shows at least a little but of interest, on Google's part, in maintaining the quality of their platform.
Not so much a walled garden as a garden without walls but with Google snipers surrounding it, hidden. Don't step on the grass.
But, but, APB is soooo awesome that full price is actually $300. You're getting a bargain because of the ads! It's a steal my friend. Just look at this custom Elbonian workmanship. No one does software like this these days.
I'm fine with repositories and security updates, but nuking an applications without asking first is what Steve Jobs does and that Google is not supposed to do.
I hate iPhone OS policies as much as the next geek (why don't I get an upgrade for security on my original iPhone, even to iOS 3.1.4?), but even Jobs doesn't delete apps from your phone. Any apps once through the store, are yours, lock, stock, and barrel. They may prompt you to upgrade, they may stop selling an app, but they don't delete them.
What google should be doing is sending these users an email and free SMS letting them know that they "should delete app $FOO because it's potentially dangerous. For reference, please see https://google.com/android/press-release/93857293875928.html" Maybe some people wanted these apps... like the friends of the security researchers in question.
Agreed. I still have the original phonesaber app. Apple isn't _this_ evil; this is a blundering destructive evil. Apple is more of a practical, plotting evil.
I wasn't referring to political/social bias. Instead I was thinking of commercial bias: advertising and how ads creep into "news". The concept of Slashvertisements didn't begin with/., only the unique name.
traditional media is her fuddy duddy middle aged father who has her best interests at heart, but she hates him
the web is her shiny new teenage boyfriend, who she's gaga over, but he's devoid of concern for her well-being and just wants to get in her pants
misplaced trust due lack of experience, that's all this study means
FYI, traditional media has been getting in her pants since she hit puberty, and only pretends to care about her wellfare. No wonder she's got no sense of boundary. Teenage boyfriend is starting to sound a lot better now considering he might grow up, but Papa has proven himself to be evil.
Maybe if I saw the boards in half they'll work in my new PCI-based motherboards. What do think? They fit, but all I get is sparks and a strange smoking smell....
That's just the magic happening. You remember, it's the same magic that you put inside it from the microwave oven step?
You gotta stop thinking like people who buy Apple devices are poor and trying to get everything they can for 'free'. Its not Linux. Mac people actually just pay for stuff.
What does that have to do with this? You cited a completely unrelated situation where something was called FUD, and that's supposed to mean this story submission isn't FUD?
Not completely unrelated. GP was talking about iPads (built by Apple), and how the speculation was that they would run iPhone OS and be locked down as tight as iPhones, despite being what people (even Apple fanbois) wanted: a Mac OS X (open) machine. Since Jobs and company have stated that iPads are the *future of computing*, many people are speculating that Mac OS X will eventually morph into iOSX. fanbois are crying "FUD! FUD! Apple would never lock us out of our computers!" In three to five years, Macs will be classified as "iOS development devices" and the fanbois will cheer, pat themselves on the back and say: "we were right! The devices are locked tight, but they never locked us out of computers. Computers are so 'Aughties' anyway."
It's 2010, and Slashdotters still obsess over DRM and things being "locked down." The world just does not care. It's only idealistic Slashdot posters who think it's some huge deal that's affecting everybody's lives.
And only idealistic environmentalists think pollution is some huge deal that's affecting everybody's lives, and only government officials think terrorism is some huge deal that's affecting everybody's lives, and only RIAA thinks that piracy is some huge deal that's affecting everybody's lives, and only MADD members think drunk driving is some huge deal that's affecting everybody's lives, and only leprechauns think gold theft is some huge deal that's affecting everybody's lives, and only Chris Mathews thinks that internet predators are some huge deal that's affecting everybody's lives. Some of these people are right, even when other people don't care.
They'll keep selling Macs because it's the only platform you can use to write an i* app.
And since the supply-side of Macs will be lower (probably lower than the demand), and the economy of scale will be gone, Macs will cost $6,000+ again, but they will include a free iapp developer's license and a sticker.
the appeals court said that if Congress felt taking away from the public domain was in its best interests, then there was no First Amendment violation at all
Congress can declare copyright on all of our founding documents? "I'm sorry, you can't teach the Constitution in class because you must first license it for $1,000,000,000,000 per copy!"
It's one thing to decide that you're not going to buy something because of whatever reason you like. It is something else entirely to come all up in MY face and imply that I'm foolish, or an idiot, or some sort of ego-freak because of my choice of computational equipment. The first one is something that any reasonable person does throughout their day. The second is only something that someone who is most ironically foolish, stupid, or possessing an ego clearly far larger than mine, does.
If you choose a Speak and Spell for your computational equipment for the same reason that E.T. chose one, then I commend you. If you choose one to use it as the manufacturer intended, well...
I found one particular article disparaging the iPad very interesting and ironic. They referenced an article from either the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, where the reviewer thought that the iPad was useless because the iPad basically turned a computer into a TV device.
I couldn't help but smile at the irony - Wasn't that the holy grail of computing (for end users) - that a computer is as easy to use as a TV (toaster, etc)?
Almost. The holy grail of computing (for end users) is a computer is as easy to use as a TV (toaster, etc) and retains its abilities as a universal-machine. iOS as an operating system could be that holy grail, but Apple wants to wait about six more years until everyone is used to locked down Apple devices, then declare: "Freedom is the future! Be free to install whatever you want!" They need to delay the Holy Grail or else people will be satisfied with status-quo and won't buy a decade of iDevices, one year at a time.
This is overbuilt and fraught with legal woes. All they need to do is link each account to a "randomised" primary key, that way they can still stay it's anonymised ("not personally identifiable" I believe is the catch phrase) whilst allowing Apple and it's partners to know who they should target. With this they can make sure all Iphone owners in Leeds are directed towards the nearest weahterspoons rather then a decent pub, meanwhile Apple are protected because they are just a bunch of unidentifiable numbers.
Until one of those partners happens to be Facebook, Google, Twitter, Myspace, Microsoft, etc. Once they can link up one or two "randomized" location histories with times and IPs that certain users log in from, BAM! those users are tied to a "randomized" primary key.

Happy to cleare that up for you.

And I counter-counter-disagree. Vacuums without objects are more rarified.

SATA III has been around since 2008. 6Gb/s mmmmmm yummy
It's like having a dedicated highway connecting a snail colony with a turtle pond. Where are the HDDs or SSDs that can achieve 6Gb/s?

I viewed an idle.slashdot.org page, Safari crashed, and my iPhone rebooted on its own. I wonder if I got hit. Yay.
What about all those people building supercomputers out of PS3s?
What about all those people building blade clusters out of iPhones? Really? No one? You're certain?

None of this matters to the owners of 1st generation iPhones either.
