My mother is on record as saying that she would have been worried if I hadn't been looking at pornography in one form or another. Not that she ever caught me...
The sum isn't quite that simple, but if Google weren't generating more revenue by using the space than they would by renting it, then they'd be renting it, wouldn't they?
[Cost of advertising Google on Google] = [Revenue lost in advertising space] - [Revneue generated by advertising]
It's in Google's interests to make that value negative.
The first manufacturer who comes up with a name like that will be sued off the planet for false advertising.
Besides, mobiles (as we call them) are still powered by a cell, aren't they?
Unfortunately for Microsoft, software isn't a consumable like washing powder. Unless you bought a lifetime's supply of Daz, you're going to have to buy the new formula when you run out.
The problem with trying to convince people that the old software isn't good enough is that, for most people, it is. The average user doesn't do anything with MSWord other than type. The only people who would appreciate the 'improvements' offered here are those who are already using OpenOffice.
"These books are copy-protected, of course. You can read them on a total of six machines, counting Readers that you own and Windows computers. You can't give away or sell a book when you're done with it, much less return it to the store."
You forgot to mention that you can buy a book when you're four and read it when you're a hundred. How many eReaders will you break or upgrade by then?
A lot of body builders/bouncers I've met have a huge store of knowledge and exhibit remarkable intelligence. It's just that it all happens to be about diet, processing nutrients and building muscle. I could learn a lot from them.
Just because someone doesn't understand you when you're talking about differential calculus, doesn't mean they're stupid.
This ruling is absurd. The trademark on the name has been in place for decades. All the company wants to do is prevent other companies from using it within their own company name, not remove it from the vernacular (which would be nigh-on impossible). Or is a trademark restricted to the indstry in which it was registered? If so, I'm starting Microsoft Sock Conditioners Incorporated.
On a related note, can someone remind me why unsolicited email is called spam anyway? Is it because, like its edible couterpart, nobody likes it?
In addition to this, it appears that my hearing is not degrading at the rate these chaps currently claim. As a result, I can still hear these damned frequencies.
And if they're used on me, I'm calling the police.
...to find familiar shapes in things. People see Jesus on their toast. It's not indicative of anything except the human ego and the desire to understand things about which we know little or nothing.
That said, I find the pictures fascinating and look forward to viewing the available images in more detail when I have a chance. The 'face' itself looks more like a skull in high resolution. Wait a minute... a human skull? They're gonna kill us all!
What will more likely happen is that the loudspeakers will remind criminals where the cameras are so they can more easily keep their faces turned the other way while they mug someone.
And then vandalise the cameras, jusst for good measure.
Oh, come on. University research work can sometimes be a dry experience, dictated for a large part by the associated departments. These chaps are just trying to have a bit of fun playing around with some work that doesn't matter and seeing what they can do with it, all the time drumming up some awareness of their University (and, of course, the new series of Scrapheap Challenge).
Any idiot can do some sums and design a machine that can hurl a boot the optimum distance, but that's hardly any fun, is it?
Though I agree this story has little reason to be on Slasdot. Cheese-rolling is a far superior sport.
We've had the human waste disposal system they way it is for many years now: isn't it about time we came up with something better than a ball of wadded paper to wipe the fecal remains from the holes in our backsides?
Water based cleansers are no good, as you'll still have to wipe to dry off. Damned if I can think of anything else, though. Any ideas?
It's big news and it's wide reaching. Targeting air travel means that the cross section of society you affect is extremely varied and causes backup effects in those who are waiting to fly and their friends/family.
As flying is an important way of travelling now, the knock-on effects are huge, as opposed to your cited example of a football game. People can avoid football games without too many problems, but avoiding flight severely screws up the flow of life.
Damage to the government? The enitre of the UK government is running around like a bunch of mad gibbons trying to figure out how to handle this so they don't lose their electorate. Isn't that, combined with the inevitable (further) loss of faith in the way they run things, far more damaging than taking out a military installation staffed with military personnel who knew what they were getting into and agreed to be a target when they joined?
This is about engendering fear and panic in the populace in an attempt to force them into forcing the government to do what they want. Unfortunately for all concerned, the government isn't listening to the people anymore.

Surely that would be a battery?
Sounds like a gadget to me.
That's just cruel. if you're going to batter them, at least kill them first.
I have no collaborative evidence for that claim.

Because I have to mail my mobile phone off to be repaired shortly and it won't fit through the modem.
Spiced

And dubious
Meat products.
I think that's right...

I think you have the makings of a novel there...
So, largely Apple-thetic, then?

I don't feel at home at work. I feel at work at work.

Gosh, you're coming through load and clear. Weren't you eaten by a star-goat?
You can. Meat is muscle, meaning that it can be exercised by passing a electrical current through it.

Can'r help with the arrests, I'll post more if I find anything out.
