ALL Apple development tools are free downloads. Not just a cut-down version; the complete development suite with everything in it; same as every other developer uses. You can develop and distribute/sell Mac apps with Apple's tools without giving Apple a cent, and that isn't changing.
Wait, what?
I thought Xcode only worked on macs.
Did Apple start giving away free computers?
I just took a look at their site, which I thought must be amazing for that kind of money, and I found this: <meta name="ICBM" content="52.48002, -1.902805"> What exactly Birmingham City Council up to!? Perhaps the money is going someplace a bit more nefarious.
According to Google, that's Birmingham Town Hall!
Perhaps that's part of Capita's plan to ensure payment in full...
What I want to know is... why are hard drives stuck at 2TB? Did we reach some theoretical limit? Does the laws of physics start to fail at higher data densities? Don't get me wrong, I love my 2TB hard drive, but I want more!
This could be because the MBR partitioning method doesn't work for drives larger than 2TiB, and Hard Drive manufacturers are afraid of confusing consumers with the GUID Partition Table?
Yes but the Woz case is possible bug in the cruise control software, not the accelerator.
Right, because Cruise Control Software is in no way related to acceleration, right?
Come on, Dr. Sheldon Cooper, we all know it's you behind the lame nickname !
(Great punchline to episode 18 though !)
I'm not sure if it's the same MuscleNerd or not, but the one I've seen on the 'tubes before predated The Big Bang Theory by several years. See, e.g., this thread on TiVo hacking.
I'm not sure I see how this would help Nintendo. Doesn't every school-age kid already have a DS? It sure seems that way among all the kids I've seen lately...
Maybe if the school versions were remotely monitored? The teacher could use a DSi XL to view 93% more students!
I don't really think Snowflake Bentley has been "long forgotten", as the summary implies. Our homeschooled children just finished a unit study on him a few weeks ago (which doesn't prove anything of course except that he's still well known enough for there to be unit studies made available on him...).
In fact, a book about him, appropriately titled Snowflake Bentley won the Caldecott medal as recently as 1999!
Pro-Tip: For mass market appeal, don't call your fans Pre-verts.
That's right, they prefer to be called Pre-vects!
Hmm... Too obscure?
