Easily and unintentionally is the key. Also important is the difficulty in reverting the damage. If it is easy to reverse it is not as big of a deal.

Not software development. UI design. This is only a small part of the discipline but it is an important one. Letting people perform un-reversibly delete data without warning is generally considered a bad thing. This is why the trash can/recycle bin metaphor exists.

who is going to make a game that uses tablet controls but is so resource intensive that it is only usable on this one tablet?

By that standard didn't Linus just re-implement a kernel?

The phrase "harm reduction" is most often used in the context of sex and/or drugs.

That is not exactly the story that is being told. I can't say what is true but the claim is that they would make a big deal out of this if the talk went on. That is not the same thing as giving their opinion.

Its a high value theft. I assume they have some threshold for value of stolen goods that makes it major or minor.

While the stones are great because they don't add some arbitrary amount of water, I do like a few drops in my scotch to open up the flavors a bit. This is particularly true with overproof scotches.

For a lark, take a shot of water and add a few drops of scotch. I find that i can pick up on many flavors that get lost in the overall intensity of the drink. Also its like homeopathy for drinkers :-)

not too bad honestly, but really, I almost never take off my watch. I sleep with it on and I shower with it. I take it off when I get a massage since it gets in the way.

Charging my watch might be a bridge to far for me unless it does something really really awesome.

my watch doesn't manage DST at all.

You don't get it man... they are doing it on the internet

What slashdot believes about tablets is completely irrelevant. They talk about tablets as just scaled up phones like the size of the screen doesn't make a huge impact on the use of the device. It represents a huge change not only to the display but also to the input device. To call them the same thing is to ignore the entire interface paradigm, something sadly common among engineers actually.

Slashdot will be parroting this "tablets are only for consumption" thing forever regardless of how people are actually using them in the real world.

And how much of that is tax?

Why do people compare gas prices in different countries without looking at the tax rate. That tax doesn't have to be there, the money supposedly brings some benefits for you guys. If you aren't getting good benefits for your taxes then you should consider complaining to your elected officials.

From the sounds of it, Anonymous is claiming that the evidence points to more than 2 teenagers being involved and that there are considerable accusations that many members of the football team were involved and have not been charged and possibly some adults, including the coach, have been complicit in the rape and the protection of certain teenagers who were involved.

Now I haven't seen the evidence, but if only 2 teenagers have been charged when there is evidence that others are involved I can understand why they may have taken these steps. As was said upstream, the police already have the evidence but that doesn't mean that they are acting on all of it.

Of course this could all be bullshit too, but pretending that the police and prosecutors are taking the proper action just because 2 teenagers are charged (in a GANG rape no less) is being a little naive. The idea that some limited number of students might take the fall for a crime while others would get away with it is not entirely a stretch of the imagination.

Frankly I hope someone takes a closer look at it all as a result of this and makes sure that anyone involved is punished. Particularly anyone who helped took actions to protect the guilty.

yea someone might find out that you rode "Its a small world" 57 times when you were at the park.
