I guess I dropped the -x somewhere along the line (or maybe Wind Mobile did). I thought it was kind of odd that Slashdot was hosting a story about a relatively old cell phone.
I'm confused. I have an LG G2 (p999) that I got back in 2011. It doesn't have any rear mounted buttons. I'd love to be able to update the OS, though. There are some apps I'd like that refuse to download because they want a newer OS.
Well, Jason. What have you got to say?
Well, Mr Nye...
Doctor! It's Doctor Nye.
But I thought those were honourary degrees.
It is DOCTOR Nye. Say it! SAY IT!
Y..Yes. D..D..Doctor Nye.
So, what happened to our bird, Jason?
As you know, um... Doctor Nye... We used a kickstarter campaign to fund the satellite's development and testing.
Get to the point, Jason.
We ran out of funds. If we had one more donor, we would have been able to complete the final testing.
So we lost the satellite and now face public humiliation because one anonymous person was too cowardly to donate?
Yes. Um.. Doctor Nye. That's about the size of it.
Well, Jason. That fellow had best pray that he and I never cross paths. You may go.
Suppose I didn't know what relocateable code was. Everything I wrote had to be in a specific memory location, or it wouldn't work. Then I see relocateable code and learn how it works. Now I can write code that is able to be loaded anywhere in memory. The world is now richer.
You are misunderstanding the starting point. The starting point is one mile north of these rings.
The other, less common answer, is that there are an infinite number of places on the Earth, where you would end up at the starting location if you were to travel one mile south, west, then north. And that is anywhere 1.159 miles north of the South Pole. You would travel south for one mile, putting you at.159 miles north of the South Pole. Then travelling one mile west would cause you to make a complete circle around the South Pole, ending where the westward mile started. Then travel one mile north and that would put you back at your original starting point.
They can have copyright protection for as long as they pay the exponentially increasing annual fee. First year is a dollar. Each subsequent year is twice the previous year.
No, they are made by running a tool called a grooving trowel across the surface of the sidewalk. This creates a half inch (or more) deep groove in the concrete, and because the concrete is thinner at the groove, that's where the slab cracks.
Don't you think that a person who is making a malicious version of Putty is also capable of putting MD5 checksums of the malicious code on their download site? Checking MD5 sums against those published by the author is useless. You need to check against publicly verified, independently published checksums.
there is absolutely no other reason to do this than being bribed outright and openly.
I can think of a reason: The good of the country and its peoples are best served by having a long copyright.
Of course, I'm not saying I agree with that reason, or that it is true in any way. However, if it were true, then a politician would be doing exactly the right thing in supporting it.

They have fewer words in the Canadian language.
Our laws are in both English AND French. That more than makes up for the fewer words.
So why is this not built in the devices that need it?
Because it cuts into profits.
You think there would have been nuclear energy in the 20th century without a Manhattan Project?
Natürlich würden wir Kernkraft haben.

As long as they offer a program to filter out the logo...
In my country, we already don't. We switched to polymer bills a few years back. We also got rid of that money waster - the penny.
The hardware is still cheap, just irreplaceable.
Meanwhile, at Planetary Society's headquarters...

Aren't the fridge, air conditioner, etc on RVs run off of propane? It would just be the lights and fans that would be electrical.
Back and forth? Sounds like AC for the win!

Changing the transparency does not mean there are two colors. In fact, the LCD doesn't play with the color at all, just the polarization.
Oh, and I got the joke
Well... I suppose you COULD do it like that... but my way, you get to play with lasers!
A laser aimed at the string can pick up the vibrations. Immunity gone.
When you apply electricity to the liquid crystal, the color appears. When you remove it, the color disappears. It's quite simple, really.

I'm sure the publishers of tainted versions of PuTTY also have MD5s I can download and verify against.

Um... Duplo
Dear DICE...
Slashdot doesn't belong to Dice anymore. It's DHI Group now.
Come now. How and why would we shoot Venus and Mercury into the Sun?
