Oh yeah, they invent stuff...

Yeah, it seems like Kodak really spent a lot of time sitting around, inventing useful stuff. Or, you could realize that Kodak purchased an overly broad patent that should have never been granted in the first place, and then used it as a weapon of extortion against one of the largest innovators in the tech world.

Yeah, I'm pretty much hoping they go down in flames. The Kodak that Steve Jobs loved and admired has long been dead.

It's much more subtle than that. Did you click the link above? Do you notice how CNN chose a picture of Ross Perot where he looks goofy as hell? MSM wants you to read the term "independent party" and then immediately see a picture of a goofy nut, making it so much easier to discredit the serious need for a non-two-party system.

They did the same thing in 2008 with their election poll. All the candidates had dignified, diplomatic headshots in the poll, except for Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel, who all managed to look like they escaped the loony bin together.

I'm not so sure that's true. The PIN is only used during the setup process. If someone DOS'd you out of pin guesses, you could always PUSH THE BIG SETUP BUTTON AGAIN ON YOUR ROUTER.

Your argument is a bit disingenuous, similar to if you had just said, "There are infinite counting numbers, but only one instance of number 2. Shouldn't there be infinite?"

I'm surprised to see no love for Wicket here.

Download Corona SDK. She can use the trial version to create iOS apps in just a few lines of code, and only needs to pay the $199 Corona fee and $99 Apple iOS Developer Program fee if she wishes to publish her iOS apps to Apple's App Store.

Separation of content and presentation can never be fully achieved so long as the structure of the content is bound to certain constraints. For example, at least in western regions where top-to-bottom representation of lingual content is the norm, artificial importance is placed upon the top-to-bottom parsing of HTML documents. There are just certain things that you can't do in CSS if one element precedes another; the exact ordering of the elements is important for the rules to be interpreted properly by the browser.

The historical significance of top-to-bottom content structures might not be entirely appropriate for new content presentations in which segments of the content can be displayed in a manner other than top-to-bottom, but it's easy to see that society's bias towards expecting content to be structured a certain way carried over blindly to the new technology.

The model (of a hand) was "digitized" - get it?

What is it with geeks choosing really horrible, horrible names for software products? I can't count the number of directors at public companies that I've spoken with in the past who refuse to go anywhere even near GIMP based on its name alone.

It's funny to read this comment after seeing an ad from the BSA on Slashdot's homepage. Unfortunately, that means that this will be my last post here. I'm off to inhabit other virtual locales that don't cater to the strong-arm tactics of the BSA.

Wow, this is the coolest rooftop simulator I've ever seen! If you ask me, this game is ready to ship.

I disagree, but feel free to enlighten me.

My head spins at the logic - Apple knowingly makes the antenna dysfunctional solely to make the phone look sexy, but requires the antenna to be covered up anyway by an ugly case.

Also, there is a simple engineering fix to this problem which doesn't sacrifice the design - cover the antenna with a thin layer of insulator, and then cover that insulator with an ultra thin layer of metal as a facade that looks indistinguishable from the current antenna.

It obviously wasn't yellow.

Excellent build quality, are you serious? I used one for five minutes, and left it with a permanent nick in the corner because I ever so slightly tapped it against my MacBook. It must be constructed out of the thinnest aluminum ever conceived. And don't even get me started on the lack of viewing angle of the display, which makes the motion based games all but unplayable.
