Comment millionaire (Score 0) 203

dude i sling burgers around a restaurant for a living, supporting my wife and child... and i can afford a high end android phone for myself and wife... if you are developing for this platform just man up and shell out... it doesn't take a millionaire to buy one.

Perhaps because this time it is UN backed? I don't know enough about the UN to know if their motives are atleast mostly pure. Atleast it is more of a consensus of the people of the world than a single country attaking another.

i'm in my after work haze right now so the article posted makes jack for shit to me however windows is a brand name i believe they have more right to keep others from using it when related to computers than the term app store, app store is short for application store. that's like having a trademark for hardware store. it is a description not a unique name. windows isn't a description however it is the name they are using for their company. hasn't apple had similar problems with the beatles record label? also i feel that this article is overly descriptive in an attempt to make it sound relevant while in reality it is two children bickering at the corporate scale.

because it's never the baby or child or cat or whatever a sudden jerking movement or possibly a seizure that could cause the accidental deletion of something you really want to keep... too bad there's not a recycle bin that traps all deletes until you can further authorize the deletion while keeping the files out of sight with the ability to fully remove them all at once... oh wait!

Solar Flare Interferes With Radio, But No Big Auroras 37

RedEaredSlider writes "The largest solar flare in several years has disrupted some communications, though it was not in the right position to create auroral displays visible from lower latitudes. The flare, which erupted on Feb. 15, sent what is called a coronal mass ejection, or CME, towards the Earth. A CME is billions of tons of charged particles, mostly protons." Most of the reported disruptions were in China, says the article.

unfortunately that would be one downside, it's should only be products containing pseudoephedrine or possibly dextromethorphan, unless you are at a 'drug store' or some smaller convenience store . i would imagine that were you to go to an actual pharmacy, or the pharmacy department of a drug store they would allow a valid passport as means to purchase the sinus medication.

Comment Re:Have to punch it in at the gas stations now (Score 0) 461

is there such a thing as an unattended gas station? i always wondered as i don't believe i've ever been to one. however it seems as though there would be laws preventing such a thing due to the dangerous nature of people and explosive/flammable gasses. i know some stations will close the inside but still have an attendant for cash purposes.

or instead of taking 1 or 2 minutes out of their time while screwing with traffic patterns to get over should it happen to be busy some developer out there could develop an app for your phone... where you can sit it oh idk on your dashboard or cupholder as the SUMMARY states... and if enough people running the app have a bump at the same spot then it could be bumped up to priority or if the accelerometer registers a larger than normal bump it could be indicative of a more serious problem. don't knock someones innovative way of solving a city wide problem just because you think you've got a better idea.

and came up with these results * In a US study, 50% of students admitted to cybercheating at some point while they were in college. * In another 30-40% of students admitted to copying text from the internet into their own work without citing the source. 10-20% did so for large sections of their assignments (i.e. more than a sentence here and there). * About 25% of graduate students engage in these same behaviors. * Typical profile of the most likely cybercheater: young male underclassmen experienced with the Internet
