Correction: Android doesn't run emacs *well*

The beauty of our Constitution is the government doesn't have the power to tell citizens what they need. Indeed, it's the other way around. How would you react if the government proposed to ban certain words or phrases because you don't really "need" to use them in everyday speech?

So, let me get this straight: nothing is happening to the beer source water now, and it may well be that nothing will happen to it in the future. And if anything does happen, the magnitude of it could be so small as to be unnoticeable. The only point of the article is somebody's trying to pass or extend the reach of an anti-fracking law/regulation.

This is without a doubt one of the most content-free and pointless articles I've come across on /. in a while...and that's saying something.

This seems like a joke, but it's actually a good thing how the kernel went to 3.0. They realized that their numbering system was getting out of hand, and that the leading '2' was no longer needed. Emacs did something similar several years ago.

I think that may happen with android in the not distant future (rumours going around that the next update will be 4.3 instead of 5.0). maybe 4.5 will just be 5, then we'll have 6, etc.

I wonder if java will ever stabalize this way? (java 8, 9, 10)

I, for one, welcome our new leading-version-number-dropping-for-readability overlords.

I'd love to see some sort of proof that soldiers, sailors, or Marines are being refused exit at the end of their enlistment terms. I'm a former Marine, and I have lots of friends who are still in the service. Nobody's reported on this. Nobody's even *heard* of this.

There is a FOSS android skin ... AOSP (which happens to be the "Best" android). Unfortunatly, it doesn't officially support a lot of devices.

There is also a FOSS repository ... F-Droid. It has some useful software, but not much. Seems to me it's a lot of little toy apps.

Well...you do have the freedom to choose to conform to any of the existing and conflicting standards... or none at all. Huzzah!

If you've got some hard evidence that said contamination is statistically dangerous then I'd like to see it. I've heard lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth saying radiation levels are higher than before the incident but not one of them (to my knowledge) has indicated *dangerous* levels of contamination anywhere except in the immediate area of the plant.

And while you're wondering about how many lives will be cut short by radiation, perhaps you might want to consider how many were lost due to the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. I believe you'll find the former is statistically unmeasurable compared to the latter.

No can do. You can thank Jimmy Carter for killing off breeder reactors in the US due to proliferation concerns. He didn't want unstable third-world dictatorships like Iran, North Korea, etc. to be able to develop nuclear weapons...oh, wait...

+100 Funny points for you, sir!

Yes it does. There's videos of this exact thing all over the youtubes.

Not quite...the CPU is soldered to the main board; you'd have to replace the whole board. you'd basically be buying an ouya sans-case, which would cost almost as much as a new ouya.

And then imagine your spherical cow on a frictionless surface...

Which is sort of like a Ponzi scheme, but groomed very carefully over many years to be much smaller.
