Shouldn't they focus on human rights, eradicating corruption, poverty, disease, getting rid of the so called debt they `owe` to Europe and the west? Instead, they want to improve their internet connection.. They really have the wrong priorities set at the moment...
Exactly. As we all know, organizations with millions of people are completely incapable of addressing more than one problem at a time.
Okay, dumbass, let's see you use the scientific method to prove evolutionary theory correct. Surprise!!! You can't do it because it deals with things that can't be absolutely proven.
Science never "deals with things that can't be absolutely proven."
Assuming the summary is correct (I'm not new here, I swear), you need to read more carefully. The jury made it so that Google's clients couldn't be sued for infringing patents that Google had already paid to license. The judicial order was simply for Google to receive attorneys' fees.
One option I've seen on other message boards is that you can't edit anything you posted, but you can add a postscript. The only real difference between that and replying to your own post is that readers would see your postscript before the 20 replies instead of after them.
Yeah, Jobs and Gates and Woz, or even the giant egghead, Einstein; never got a shred of respect in our society, did they?
Jobs was a businessman with relatively little technical ability. Gates had a little more technical ability that Jobs, but he was still primarily a businessman. Neither of them were scientists, and neither of them are respected for anything other than being rich.
Woz was a good engineer, but I don't know of any scientific research that he did. He's also more or less unknown to most Americans.
Einstein is the only scientist on your list, and his work is now nearly 100 years ago (some of his early work is over 100 years ago). He wasn't born in the United States, either; he only came to the United States because he had to flee the Nazis.
This also explains using names like John Connor. You and I would be able to recognize the source of the name. It's much less likely that a senior citizen would, so it gives them a way to filter out the people least likely to fall for the scam.
Really? The original Terminator movie came out in 1984. People now in their 60s would have been about the same age as most of us here. Someone now in their 90s might not know about the movie, but I would bet at least as many people in their 60s and 70s know the name John Connor as do people in their teens and 20s.
So what you are saying is that Timmothy not only fails to edit most posts that need it. He goes above and beyond by editing posts at times to make them even crappier?
My Linux desktop at home shows a message that I should restart the computer every time there's a kernel update. Off the top of my head, it seems like kernel updates come a few times per month. Of course, I let the message sit there for weeks, and my desktop happily keeps running. I don't know how well Windows works these days if you don't reboot when it tells you to.
As soon as I saw "Bennett", I immediately scrolled the browser window to about 3/4 down the page. I was shocked to find that the comments started only about 1/4 down the page.
I'm convinced that ad based funding is a bubble waiting to pop. I would be very interested to see the analytics supporting the notion that people were clicking enough ads (or influenced by the ads) in Flappy Birds to support the 50k/day payout the author was getting (and that was just his cut).
Half of all advertising is a complete waste. The problem is figuring out which half.
I don't know what the parent was thinking but what if there ended up being two elements with the same number if protons but different phisical properties due to some yet to be discovered reason.
Well, we already have a word for atoms with the same number of protons but differences in some other property: isotope. Whether a difference in something other than number of neutrons would use the term "isotope" or some other new term is a decision that will have to be made if and when the discovery is made.
Who gets to decide whether or not some specific use is a "weapons platform", "human rights" violation, or "oppression"? I highly doubt that many developers want to spend all their time dealing with it, and courts probably won't want to deal with such a vague contract.
Slashdot Mirror
That Act will go down in American history as the single, most damaging, threat to liberty in this country.
Senator McCarthy may have an objection to this.
How about if could charge your car wireleslly a bit at a time at each stop light.
If you think that's viable, you're spending too much of your life waiting at stop lights.
Well, we certainly know a few cities that you don't live in.
I remember playing the Windows version of it. And now I want to play it again. I might have to check out the new implementations.
Or Excel, Outlook, or Powerpoint.

Threatening someone's life is generally a criminal matter.

Repeat after me: Proofs are for mathematicians.

Proposed by those the people of OHIO voted for.
Most likely only a small number of people of Ohio voted for. State representatives may each represent only a few towns.
With stuff like "Internet Backbone" I'm hoping for some major BGP messup.
I know the B stands for backhoe, but what do the G and P stand for?

Now instead of buying off the majority of a State Legislator you would only have to buy off one man
I guess I can see how it would be easier to bribe an entire person than it would be to bribe only the torso and a leg or two.

chickens can't fly that high
What do chickens have to do with KFC?
Guess that means something else is to blame for destroying your ability to judge attempts at humor.
There have been many information campaigns about the causes and prevention of transmission of ebola, up to and including rap songs...
I always knew rap was bad, but I never knew it could transmit Ebola. One more reason I'm glad I don't like rap.
It was, however, a religion that understood that contact with dead bodies could be dangerous.
