Can you explain to me why gold has any more intrinsic value than say bitcoins or dollars? Are you personally able to eat gold?

>> I don't expect ANY car company to..

More to the point, no one who curerntly thinks they want it would actually want it once they found out the associated downsides of massive increases in weight and cost of every new car.

>>> for this senseless tragedy

What tragedy? IMHO its actually a success in gene pool improvement. We all need to stop this 'every life is sacred no matter what' thing.

Yeah because US cops are world famous for never abusing citizens right?

Just what the internet needs...yet another layer of crap ontop of the already overbloated steaming pile.

This whole article is misleading and pointless, as it has been discovered (and confirmed by UbiSoft themselves) that UbiSoft INTENTIONALLY crippled the graphics of PC versions (only) of WatchDogs.

Assuming the asshat game developer didn't intentionally cripple it, top end PC graphics will always be capable of more/better performance than consoles. Its just common sense, not least because a top-end GPU card alone costs significantly more than an entire console.

I'm completely uninspired by these bland boring android watches. There's no way I'd want one of these on my wrist. I mean for starters... plastic watch straps... really? what a retarded decision. Has no one at these companies ever actually tried wearing one of these for any length of time? especially in a hot climate?

The writing has been on the wall for years. Apple has shown over and over that people want and care about good design and quality materials, and will even pay through the nose for them. Evidently for many people, style is even more important than actual functionality in a buying decision, yet LG and especially Samsung are still releasing products (both phones and now watches) that look like cheap plastic wal-mart crap that cost at most 20 cents to make (not least because they saved on the cost of hiring a designer), but still the actual price makes it a non-trivial purchase. You get the worst of both worlds.

LG and especially Samsung should finally get a clue and take quality materials and good, interesting design as seriously as Apple (or better yet one-up them).

>> Your experts compile/test the code as they wish over time at the site. The end result is then known.

You can never guarantee any amount of code coverage (especially not 100%) just from black box testing.

>> saying that while their methods were "close to the line of constitutional reasonableness," they were used for good reason.

This is an obvious sham. Someone's justfication of their actions should have absolutely no effect on judging whether they actually broke the law or not.

>> a place where governments who use Microsoft software can come to review the source code

Where's the proof that the source code you see is exactly the same as that which gets compiled to make the Windows you buy?

Also does anyone else find it as highly suspicious as me that this center is only open to governments?

It does seem that the biggest reason that there's a no spying agreement is because the UK already gives the US access to everything it wants.

>> a strength of 17.6 Tesla â" roughly 100 times stronger than the field generated by a typical fridge magnet ...only if you have the kind of fridge magnets that once in place are then permanently inseperable from your fridge.

it seems its pretty much the same for every other large US company too.

Emacs is a great operating system. It just needs a good text editor.
