This is funny. On my iPad, I can watch the movie. On my Mac with Safari, it Slashdot tells me I need to install Flash. When I set the User Agent in Safari to iPad, I can watch the movie without Flash.
Why is Slashdot lying and tries to force users to install Flash?
Can I call my new operating system "Windows" ? Or maybe "My Windows" ?
But the orientation of the polarization is unknown. It could be adjusted by the pilot but wouldn't prevent an initial surprise effect. It is practically useless.
Lasers emit monochromatic light, hence it shouldn't be too hard to block just the few small wavelength bands that common lasers use while letting the rest of the light pass through the cockpit wind shields.

..that almost every PC comes with Windows pre-installed in conjuction with Microsoft abusing this monopoly despite all the anti-trust affairs.
I know the M$ fanboys will point at Apple and their iOS devices, but the big difference is that Apple does not force other smartphone manufacturers to put iOS on their hardware, whereas PC manufacturers have to pay for not putting Windows on their PCs.
Given those circumstances, the fact that I'd have to pay $99 in order to install my own private Linux distro on my own private PC is just crazy.
Regardless whether this is a false alarm or not, I'm 100% sure that US military technology has something similar, too. I can't imagine them selling fighter planes to Saudi Arabia and not putting in a kill switch.
Exactly. These articles and benchmarks are a joke. The Intel CPUs are so far ahead, in performance and value, that I can't help but feel embarrassed for AMD.
Without AMD you clueless retard would have to pay 5 times the price for an Intel CPU. You should thank them for providing competition instead of dissing their products.
There is a big difference between Apple's and Microsofts behaviour: Microsoft are (ab)using the billions of monopoly dollars they rake in from Windows and Office to become dominant in other markets, too. See for example selling Xboxes below production costs just to drive competitors out of the market in order to rule over the home TV set. Similarly, they will use their power and billions of dollars that they made from their two monopolies and try to drive Apple out of the tablet market. Whereas Apple does not use their billions they made from their iPad monopoly to get Microsoft out of the PC market, right? That's the big difference. Apple just defends their own market, whereas Microsoft wants to rule the world.
