It only uses 400MB of RAM. I think you need a new computer.

I can with the authority of someone who tries, jumps between and uses a LOT of apps say that the one thing has nothing to do with the other.

Crap apps are always crap regardless of language and portability.
Good apps are always good regardless of language and portability.

Specific function apps coded for specific hardware can be good or crap, but force you down a particular language.

It doesn't which leads me to ask why they would collect the inadmissible one in the first place.

Also your post fails Occams Razor but sure let's just keep on thinking that oil companies spend time and effort trawling through obscure sites looking for references and then look up users they can pay to post comments. Because what happens on Slashdot as far as the resources industry is concern really makes a reputable difference... / sarcasm.

Yes but they don't need "fixing" they simply need "deleting".

A guy with a low UID is a paid troll for oil companies on slashdot which feature articles related to oil once in a blue moon, and you came to this conclusion because he thinks the kickstarter is crap?

How about asking yourself if he's right or now. The premise of the kickstarter is to avoid going to an independent lab. Then what? Without going to an independent lab you have evidence that could be tainted, isn't admissible in court, and likely has problems to begin with (many oils in a common region share very common traits).

Have you ever heard of the saying "Just enough information to be dangerous?" That's what this is and if the person isn't incredibly careful could very quickly lead to being in legal hot water for slander and whatnot.

Indeed. Don't call an ambulance. Instead take your emotionally compromised self and jump in the drivers seat of 2T of metal, and make sure you get to the emergency room as quickly as possible.

Actually it is as easy as calling an ambulance. Or do you actually not care about the life of the person you are trying to get to the emergency room, or for that matter the lives of other people on the road?

I for one would like to thank this service with my life.

Due to this woman not being able to start her car there was one less highly emotionally compromised driver on the road. Because we all know when there's a medical emergency we will do whatever we can to follow all laws including speeding, overtaking, stopping at lights etc.

It's almost like there needs to be a service for getting people to an emergency centre quickly which can legally do the above things....

I've been doing this for years for all sorts of passwords. But I take it one step further just write it on things already in your wallet. I write my pin on my bank card and the bank card is in my wallet and I keep my wallet in my back pocket so it's always with me. Now no one can get at my money or password.

I see this as a positive thing if you don't wish to get hit on the head multiple times.

I find this interesting. Both major governments have now supported internet filtering or some invasive monitoring in the past. Recently we've had a government decide to go and join the fight in a war we have nothing to do with because ... well America is doing it. Terrorist threats have come immediately after the announcement and then I was absolutely gob smacked to see our prime-minister (probably the current joke of the world) quote word for word the previous joke of the world (Bush) and say the threats are not because of our actions but because "they hate our freedoms".

Now G20 is nearly upon us and our local city is building giant walls around airports, closing down half the city, and welding bins at the train station shut (no joke) because they pose a threat as a potential place to stash a bomb.

And how do our people react?
A statistically significant jump in the prime minister's approval rating

People get the government they deserve. Hey Canada, you guys still taking Aussies immigrants? I gotta get out of here. Because ... you know, ... terrorists and stuff.

I knew a power woman who always flaunted the same numbers as she was working up the ranks. When she started making a real headway in her career she bailed out and is now at home popping out and looking after an endless stream of babies while her husband has overtaken her in salary and career.

Is it because women want to take this path?
Is it because men can't take this path? (What's the level of maternity support men get in a typically working contract?)

Who knows, but in the principles of Root Cause Analysis you can't start at the end and work backwards in a linear way. You need to explore all possibilities on the way.

Ahh the old we know better than the users line.

Users who use teleconferencing apps, or god forbid something as simple as skype. My technophobe mother does this too. Then there's every computer at work which comes with a USB headset incase we need to do an online meeting or something. God forbid I actually want to play a computer game and plug in my headset mid game because someone next door started building and my teammates are sick if hearing a circular saw come through the mic.

No use cases, none what so ever clearly.

As a side note, YOU are the reason it will never be the year of Linux on desktop.

Well at least he's no Tony Abbott. We actually made an effort (admittedly by a lying politician who said she won't introduce a carbon tax), only to roll backwards only a few years later.

I have some shocking news for you, immediate proximity to a border has very little to do with trade, and your arguments sound similar to those of the USA when they complained about China.

The reality is that climate change targets are not about cutting back, but rather about changing the way things are done. Case in point, read the article. South Australia hasn't gutted it's industry, it hasn't shutdown major polluters, and it hasn't caused a rise in the price of energy. You do this by subsidising green energy or penalising dirty energy, and you do it in a way that impacts future designs.

What's Canada going to do, decide no power plants will be built in the country and buy all the power from the USA? The same USA which is building several solar concentration plants and which are actually driving some green projects on a state level? Or they can create incentives to reduce emissions, again like South Australia where the government offered free energy assessments and the federal government offered a (unfortunately somewhat mismanaged) home insulation scheme. Or you could put restrictions on emissions with tariffs.

Being green costs money, but you can lock the money into a country using artificial barriers. One way or the other it's the end user who has to pay to be green and giving them an option to not be green elsewhere is what drives business away.

Right now this may just be some random blog from someone careless that has been over publicised. As others have pointed out there are photos of other phones which have bent too, but it's hardly a widely reported problem.

Now it could very well be that the iPhone 6 has a design flaw, and we could see Tim Cook attempt to revive the reality distortion field of yesteryears by jumping up on stage and bending a Samsung and saying "see all phones do this" (see the you're holding it wrong debacle).

Or it could be nothing.

Time will tell.
