You don't have time to follow sports, but you have time to model "information from 5242 games played during the 2011-2012 season".

You could be honest and just say you don't really care, but get involved in the playoffs because everyone else is talking about it.

I'm guessing your level 80 warlock probably doesn't 'have time' either. :)

If they can't understand a sorted listview with the process names and information organized in columns, how the hell is nesting the processes in a treeview going to make it any easier for them to understand?

So should all our filemanagers look like this?

Filename Parent Directory GrandParent Directory
test.exe \test c:\

or is the nested model that explorer, nautilus and most other filemanagers use more intuitive and easier to understand? I mean it's just a sorted listbox - why not use it for everything?

because there are many uses for the iPad other than Kindle, youtube netflix etc?

Why do you think they can't and won't tweak the technology to scan gestures from a chair position?

They do have these things called wide angle lenses.

the problem is the new system is just as much bullshit as the last.

From the summary:

                Although it is unknown what, if anything, will replace the color-coded alerts

So although it is unknown if the old system will be replaced, the new system (which doesn't exist) is bullshit?

Wouldn't this be where RICO laws come into play

No.

To explain further, RICO is a law in the United States, and this occurred in the UK.

"IP numeric"? "IP holders"? They obviously aren't techies or tech-aware...which makes you wonder how they can ever be trusted to know what they're doing with these legal threats. Oh, yes, that's right, the whole things is a bit dodgy anyway - that explains the lack of technical awareness.

Right - the Solicitors Regulatory Authority are a bit dodgy - oh wait - they were the ones who used the IP Numeric term, not the lawyers who sent out the notices.

But let's not let facts get in the way of our comments.

I agree wholeheartedly. In addition to the option not to fly, IT'S NOT A BIG F'ING DEAL!

I fly almost every week for work and you stand in line for a bit, take your shoes off, put your laptop in a bin and stand in the machine for a few seconds and then move on.

Can you take the binary you downloaded onto you iPhone and put it on another iPhone? (without Jailbreaking or other hacks)

Why not?

DRM

If the lack of wholly GPL software on iOS bothers enough customers, there are other smartphone platforms that are known for not having such a tightly controlled app ecosystem.

That is EXACTLY what the article is about!

Unfortunately it won't make a lick of difference because the only people using VLC are geeks who already know the score with regards to Apple's app store policies. Now if Angry Birds was a GPL app and you took it away from everyone's i Phone/Pad/Touch...well I don't even want to think what would happen.

Well their total wireless revenue was about $61B in 2009...that is just wireless revenue...$108B overall.

You do that math...

Maybe there's more to Wi-Fi Direct than what Ad Hoc networking offers - I really don't know..

So you could take a minute to post the fact you are uninformed to slashdot, or you could have spent that same minute informing yourself...

From the FAQ linked in the article...

Is this the same as Ad Hoc mode?

No. Ad Hoc, or IBSS, mode is a legacy protocol for Wi-Fi devices, and Wi-Fi Direct is a new innovation. Wi-Fi Direct brings important security features, ease of setup, and higher performance that is not currently available in Ad Hoc mode. With Wi-Fi Direct, a device can maintain a simultaneous connection to an infrastructure network – this isn’t possible with Ad Hoc.

yes, that is what esx or esxi are.
