Seriously, when the fuck is "fall"? Every time I see that shit I have to figure out when "spring" is and then deduct six months and I'm still not sure.
Chuck it on the pile with your football stadiums, libaries of congress, Farenheits, the Kings thumb and his servants foot, and burn the whole fucking lot.
Use jack to get the various output devices into a single interface (I'm assuming this "myriad" has windows or Linux drivers) and then use any old sequencer to manage the play lists and announcements. You may find netjack can handle the distribution for you as well.
I can't find links right now but I'm going to say this anyway.
Supposedly Zucks was asked point blank why the don't have GPS in their mobile app and said "we don't need it". Whoever it was (Cringely?) suggested they already have the location data from scraping photos for GPS data and cross referencing it with login locations of other users in the photos and other stuff they know (like where people say they live and bars they've tagged etc). Zucks supposedly said they would love to be selling highly targeted location based ads and the only reason they don't is because all off the internal polling they do suggests a big PR backlash because people think its creepy. Whatever I read even mentioned a rumour that Zucks' preferred method to get this implimented is by acquisition.
Up until I read TFS I still thought the biggest part of this story was buying a fast growing mobile app and denying 30m users to Google or someone else. If Zucks just went all BWOL it certainly adds credence to the idea.
Those just happen to be his competitors! What a crazy coincidence!
I don't really think this is so, although some of it may become true in the future.
a. The government doesn't compete with Google. You could argue they have some synergy, which doesn't support your statement.
b. Google has said for years they aren't interested in owning content. "Entertainment Industry" in this case means content owners supporting legislative protection. For example, this list of SOPA/PIPA supporters has no Google competitors.
c. Neither Google nor Facebook have been successful in moving into the others core markets, and certainly built their success in different markets. They are trying to eat each others pies though, so maybe you get half an internet point for that one!
So as it stands, that's pretty much wrong all round.
Your FTFY is broken. You replaced "probably originated here" with "this and only this is the only possible thing".
As I said earlier, given that one of these planets clearly has a lot of life and the other clearly doesn't, one of these ejecta directions is more significant that the other.
It could be that the convicted killer had some transmissible disease
You don't even haven to go that far. Not wanting the psychological results from thinking about the killers actions is perfectly good reason to be "weirded out" without having to invoke magic.
The contention in TFS seems to that unless you can fully describe a process justifying your belief that you've somehow believed in magic, which ignores how instinct and gut feel can (does?) emerge from the brains pattern recognition capabilities. Do they think that the pattern recognition required to catch a fly ball implies a belief in magic?
Life could have originated on Mars and then traveled to Earth
Given that one of these two plants clearly has a lot of life and the other clearly doesn't, I would say that one of those directions is more important than the other.
I fail to see how these companies could validate with 100% certainty that the device reported stolen actually belong to the owners that claimed to own them.
Since most phones are sold on plans, they know the IMEI before you do. They already have all the information they need.
I think the theory is that rocky planets and dusty rings should be orbiting much closer to a star that's only twice as big as ours.
The suspected planet would be the second planet found orbiting Fomalhaut, a very bright star located about 25 light-years away in the constellation Piscis Austrinus. Fomalhaut is twice as big as our sun and encircled by a disk of dust 16 times wider than the span between the sun and Earth. The inner edge of the ring is about 135 times as far as away from the star as Earth is to the sun.
Their results contain a number of surprises. First, they calculate that almost as much ejecta would have ended up on Europa as on the Moon: around 10^8 individual Earth rocks in some scenarios. That's because the huge gravitational field around Jupiter acts as a sink for rocks, which then get swept up by the Jovian moons as they orbit.
But perhaps most surprising is the amount that makes its way across interstellar space. Last year, we looked at calculations suggesting that more Earth ejecta must end up in interstellar space than all the other planets combined.
Nerdy or not, Slashdot has always loved talking about racial issues and politics in general.
I take your point though. Maybe it's time for a sister site aimed at politics. You never know how far that could go in terms of general worldwide political discussion.
Yeh but there are advantages to dumb terminals, like lower power requirements, more hardware architecture options and centralising resources. Think of how overpowered most office machines are already, getting all those spare cycles into a central location could be very fruitful (both in cost and power). If you've ever been responsible for more than 5 machines you'll appreciate centralised management systems. Think Active Directory with a whole lot less complexity exposed to Murphy and his team of gremlins.
Businesses run so many internal webapps nowadays that ChromeOS is likely useful as it is. If the chrome box speaks RDP then you can run legacy apps on terminal servers.
I'm pretty sure that somewhere in this plan is an appliance style server (in the vein of turnkey) which would pretty much change everything.
Genocidal past ?...What sort of shit is that?...there was no Aboriginal "genocide" ever, period...Aboriginals are treated a hell of a lot better than anyone else in Australia....You sir, are a fucking disgrace...now get the fuck out !
Other historians regard the Black War as one of the earliest recorded modern genocides.[8] Benjamin Madley wrote: "Despite over 170 years of debate over who or what was responsible for this near-extinction, no consensus exists on its origins, process, or whether or not it was genocide" however, using the "U.N. definition, sufficient evidence exists to designate the Tasmanian catastrophe genocide."[1]
You're more likely in the modern world to encounter the Loch Ness monster than any truly honest dialogue on race.
The situation here in Australia is quite different although there certainly are and have been serious racial problems. One of the biggest sports in this country is something called "Rugby League" which is a different sport (with it's own world cup) to what most of the world calls "Rugby".
Anyway, the season opener is called the All Stars Game which is the Indigenous All Stars Vs the NRL All Stars, basically, Blacks Vs The World. The Indigenous side are incredibly proud to play for their people. Nobody says its racist and you hear a lot of "it's such a great concept". I think this game does a hell of a lot to support "honest dialogue" and perhaps shows shows that a nation can move on from its genocidal past in a relatively short period of time.
I haven't the time to look up every acronym and backronym on the entire internet.
According to this quick search "AMOLED" has been mentioned 4910 times on this site. I'd say this term has moved into the realm of assumed knowledge, and that you've moved into the realm of assumed stupidity.
I don't think anyone argues that IQ differentials exist between different races. The point in question is to what extent does IQ measure anything resembling generalized intelligence.
I think you'll find there are people that argue racial IQ variance exists. But your question has much wider implications.

I think the phrase is "... before it was cool." :)
No, Slashdot really was a blog before that word had been invented. We used to think the word was fad that would go away.

Well, Linux can update the microcode on a CPU for example.
Actually, he's buying the GPS data

Not to mention some other holes in that appendage. I've found my mouth to be rather useful, for example.

Yea, worst of all worlds. It only runs web apps

Here's the most notable example: Aboriginal Tasmanians

Is this type of thing possible in todays USA?
Which makes Firefox's share quite impressive considering that it was acquired on merit.
This is true, but perhaps it's more accurate to say 'Microsoft's lack of merit".
