I prefer the infinite loop generated by just toggling the last bit with xor.

Coffee?

What the hell are you doing on Slashdot?!

HERETIC!!!

Get 'em!.... ... one of these quick

I'm sure they will. Though that's no reason not to add another patent to their portfolio.

It's a half impression of the jack in the side of the device rather than enclosed port*. Hence the need for a cover ( or case ) to enclose the impression and complete the other half of the port. That impression will not be aesthetically pleasing even with the proposed solutions. It will be interesting to see what wins. Aesthetics or functionality. I have my own bets on that.

* before you say RTFA, I did.

"Current jacks will fit the new port design, but since the port is cut in half and exposed to one side of the device shell, a traditional connector would simply drop out: Apple proposes a magnetic interface that would keep a thin audio connector in place. The second issue is that an exposed jack would not look especially appealing, which is why Apple believes that new “custom” jacks should be covered with a “cosmetic cap” on one side."

RTFA again.

"Current jacks will fit the new port design, but since the port is cut in half and exposed to one side of the device shell, a traditional connector would simply drop out:"

It's a half impression of the jack in the side of the device rather than enclosed port. Hence the need for a cover ( or case ) to enclose the impression and provide the other half of the port or a magnet to allow the jack to rest in the impression and cling to the device.

Well, actually there's two issues then. The first is criminals turning evidence in gained while committing a crime and is it usable. The second is the channel through which law enforcement gets access to the evidence. My example applies to the first.

For the second: If someone posts a video on Facebook of a friend in the act of committing a crime, or publishes their manifesto stating their plans for murder, are you (general) saying that evidence can't be used because it was in the public domain first? That's false.

Criminals turning evidence in gained while committing a crime is usable evidence
Evidence gained through a public release is usable evidence.

Let me clarify something though. I would have preferred that any evidence be gained through legal means. I just don't necessarily agree with the sentiment that the evidence, if there is any, is now tainted so much that it is unusable.

I think that applies only to evidence obtained by the court. Not criminals turning evidence in against other criminals. e.g. Paedophile jailed after burglars with a conscience tip off police about child abuse pictures on stolen laptop ( new window )

I do honestly think that an analog face on a watch can be more artistic and more attractive that a LCD. Battery or spring behind the face regardless.

... that they no longer think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

They have started going back to analog.

"syphon action"?

Sweet Zombie Jesus....

The plant I worked at when in full operation used approximately 2 million gallons of water per minute for two units and you want to move that volume of water in over a mile of pipe? Even half that volume?

Even not at that volume, you want to put a nuclear plant over a mile away from it's cooling source? Through a mile of flood plain? Where during a flood, like's what is happening now, the foundations for the supports for the miles of pipe could lose integrity from the soil being saturated. Or be swept away by a flood debris?

NRC licensing costs ( assuming it's the US since the topic concerns a US plant ).

To meet NRC licensing requirements you have to do stuff like weld a 36" diameter zirconium alloy pipe and then X-ray it to detect any flaws in the weld. If a flaw is discovered, you cut the weld and do it all over again. With only a handful of welders in the world qualified to weld a zirconium alloy pipe to these standards, it gets pretty damn expensive.

The question I have to ask you is this. Are you willing to lower standards like this to reduce the cost because I'm not. Even though I've worked in the commercial nuclear industry.

Actually, think I've found the case number and state

As of yet, I can't find if there was a ruling or if it was dismissed / settled. No luck on courts.arkansas.gov, findlaw.com or justia.com.

Agreed. You are accepting the responsibility for correcting their mistake.

Very much like I case I heard where a guy left his phone at a McDonalds. He called back and a manager said they had the phone and that they would hold it for him. Something happened to the phone, don't remember what. Maybe naked pictures of his wife got released on the internet. Naturally he sued and he won because of this.

Wish I could give you a better reference.

(Rings bell) Good Morning.

Interesting that a link to a video is preferred over the script in a thread where the root post is a complaint that nobody reads...

Yeah it is.

I'm not saying that the data isn't being used now and "can only be used later". I'm saying it's very handy to keep permanently for later use in other applications that can benefit from having that history. Quite frankly, if someone is that concerned, don't carry around a GPS device.
