"not too impressed"

On the other hand....

me: Do you know Java?
bot: I Know JavaScript
me: But that isn't java.
bot: What did you ask.
me: asked if you knew Java
bot: I know many jokes.
me: Java is not a joke.
bot: Yes, it is.

But won't the Birds get Angry about being shot out of a catapult towards pigs?

no, they're reusing the old analog tv broadcast frequencies which are in the process of being decommissioned for TV broadcasting. No new frequencies are involved.

No YOU didn't read the article. Again I Quote FTA:

" 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"

RTFA much?

You;re the one that's wrong.
" 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"

what has referring pubic hair, the correct term for it, got to do with any indication of age?

you dont need to buy anothe rcopy of the game to transfer characters. You can have many characters across several servers on the same account, and do a paid transfer across faction or to another server without buying a whole new license

Max Planck was told in 1874 when looking for a university course "it is hardly worth entering physics anymore because there is nothing important left to discover”

This was long before the days of the atomic model, quantum mechanics, radiation, wave-particle duality etc. All that good stuff that brought us all our shiny electronics and the internet,.

The same is still true - the more we know the more we realise that there's a lot more we still don;t know. Just in the last week I've read about gravity dipoles in qyuantum vacuum fluctuations, and discovery of very dark planets to name but two (ok the latter is a discovery rather than an idea, but we'll now need to work on explaining it, which may lead to new tech., or it may not). It just takes a very very long time for these esoteric ideas to turn into actual useful every day stuff.

And if one of those "few innocent bystanders who die" was your kid or your partner, would you still say there doesn't need to be a law?

ahh... I thought so...

What utter rubbish. Just think for 2 minutes.

Firstly... "Once one buys it, they have precisely no rights to dictate how the product is used"
So if you buy a hunting rifle, it's perfectly ok for you to go and kill citizens on the streets? Or buy a car and drink a bottle of whiskey and go out for a drive? The "I own it I can do what I want with it" attitude is bullshit.

Secondly ". Now, you're paying for a chip that could have been sold at the higher clock speed" But you paid the price for the lower speed, not the higher speed.

The difference is that Intel are making ONE version instead of several, you pay for the performance you want. It's irrelevant if the chip CAN go faster, if you wanted/could afford the faster chip you would buy it. Manufacturing one version that can run at several speeds and is sold at different price points is no different to ylu that consumer than manufacturing several versions that can only run at one specific speed. You are stll getting exactly the performance you paid for - perhaps at an even cheaper price as the manufacturer gets the benefit of reduced prooduction costs.

Later if you decide the chip is too slow you can just pay an upgrade fee and have the better chip, ehich would be cheaper than replacing the chip.

You actually win ion this deal as upgrade cosst are cheaper. The manufacturer also wins due to cheaper p[roduction costs.

"Who is the youngest MP?

The youngest MP is Pamela Nash, Labour MP for Airdrie and Shotts, aged 26.
What is the average age of an MP?
- http://www.parliament.uk/about/faqs/house-of-commons-faqs/members-faq-page2/
Following the general election of 2010, the average age of an MP was 50."

Hardly "old" 70 on is "old" 50 is middle aged and 26 is barely out of nappies.

"And PC's are in the same sort of categories - few people have a desktop PC nowadays"

Nonsense.

As I sit here at work I see hundreds of desktop pcs. At home I have a gaming pc as do my three kids. my wife does have a netbook but she only reads blogs and watches the news. I do also have an iPad and an iPhone bit it's still gonna be a long long time before I give up my desktop pc. Most of my friends are the same.

"vacuum tubes...I've never used one, don't own one " Yes you have, and yes you do.., "I have only CRT " google for what a CRT is.

So let's get this straight... You take a bunch of encrypted numbers, never ever decrypt them but somehow still add them together to get the right encrypted answer.

WTF???

No details in TFA but HOW does this voodoo work?
