Honestly, Ghandi slept in the nude with young girls, and had an very intimidate relationship with a woman who was not his wife. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/thrill-of-the-chaste-the-truth-about-gandhis-sex-life-1937411.html Mother Teresa supposedly squandered the money that people donated to her on various things not related to the orphans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Aplank/Criticisms_of_Mother_Teresa

Vista = BAD was largely a result of bad marketing, poor drivers, and large internal changes at the last minute.
Win7 = Vista + SP2.

Between the hot redhead, and the not quite 100% insane he almost sound human! :)

About the time that the specs caught up with the hardware available. For Crysis 1, this was somewhere around 2-3 years AFTER it's initial release. If only the Crysis devs had been smart enough to NOT release the debug build as the RTM..... :)

Not trolling, but how hard is it to replace the power supply in one of these systems?

Seems like anybody comfortable enough to upgrade the graphics card should also be able to swap out a power supply as well. Does HP, etc make it such that the power supply cannot be replaced?

FWIW, Scape goat is a pretty old term. I believe it originated with the Greeks who had a ritual where everybody in a town would symbolically add all their troubles onto the back of a literal goat. This goat was then either driven out of town, or sacrificed to the gods, taking the people's trouble with it.

Normal key locks are vulnerable to various cheap lock picks as well, and, shock of shocks, a locksmith will charge you to upgrade those locks as well. So.... where's the story? I don't see anything on slashdot about normal burglars breaking into house with zipguns and the like, why is THIS news?

Cancelling bad mod, please ignore.

Mod parent up! Apple may have money to throw at this issue, but they do NOT have the time. They might have if they have developed this for a few more years in secret, but now that it's out, they're boned.

I thought the whole No Google Maps on iOS was a plan, didn't they use their app for 5 minutes, and realize the HUGE outcry when they removed it? Further, due to the massive amounts of money (which apple has in spades) and time (which apple doesn't have at this point) what can they hope to do to fix it? And why didn't they pull the plug before it got to release state? Somebody really dropped the ball, or lied out of their ass during the status meetings. I'm wondering when the firings will start.

Which was what exactly?!?!?!? the 1 million dollar bail is higher than a normal murder charge bail. While making comments like this might be illegal, or in poor taste, the response seems a bit over the top.

I think they learned after Waco and Ruby Ridge that burning people out (Waco), and shooting people (Ruby Ridge) gives them a black eye.

Relax, it's the old "The focus group made me do it defense", probably to be followed with "I was just doing my job", and then finally "I didn't know OKAY?!!?!!?!?! I DIDN'T KNOW!!!!"

Sorry, but I've been on unemployment from time to time while working my ass off to find a new job. I have yet to see an unemployment check that came within a 1/4 of what most of the people reading Slashdot get paid. That also goes for most "middle" class jobs. You get laid-off from Wendy's then you might sit around on your ass, otherwise, you're going to be eating into your savings and trying like heck to find your next job before you lose the house/car/wife.

Actually the argument has been going on since the beginning of the printing press, if not earlier. In the 1900s the argument was all about the copyright the song writer held over his sheet music, which was easily copied and re-printed by rival companies, depriving the artist of royalties. I suspect that there might have been arguments between various bards as they plied their trade over people overhearing and repeating their songs, who knows?
