It is however interested in ensuring that games bought in Japan won't run on European or USA units, and vice versa. This is a far more deal breaker than what you report to me. (Microsoft leaves the lock to the publisher, while Sony, at least for physical games, goes region free).

As an owner of a USA PS3 living in Europe playing mostly Japanese games (yes, a mixture of things), I like the fact that I can get a copy whenever in the world and knowing it will run. Region lock sucks.

That's exactly what you're looking for, and oh, it's been there for several releases.

There's another problem to bear in mind: coverage. What is coverage exactly? In terms of "next generation sequencing" (to which this machine belongs to) is how well a part of the genome is covered (sequenced), and that in turns means that the number of fragments (100-150 in the case of Ion Torrent) read for a specific region must be high as possible (those are called "reads").

A good coverage allows you ensure that what you're seeing is real and not some sequencing errors (all technologies suffer from certain types of errors). In the case of Ion Torrent, you usually sequence fragments up to 1 Gbp of sequenced material (G base pairs of DNA), which isn't enough to cover the inter-genic regions or other structural DNA. So usually you do a "reduction step" by either only selecting a handful of genes to be sequenced (mutation screening for example) or by sequencing only the "exome" (exons are the parts of DNA that are actually transcribed to mRNA, the exome is a collective term for all the exons in the genome). That may be useful per se but it's nowhere near a complete genetic map for one individual.

Equipment to do that is much more expensive (500K USD, not counting reagents and other machines).

not be capable of doing worse than FFXI again.

At least from a commercial perspective, XI is not bad at all, being still in operation and (partially) developed. Having played it for about 7 years, I would add that it was not that bad despite clearly a very unrewarding set up. In particular, the main scenario (and even more in particular the Chains of Promathia expansion) are well worth the FF name.

Looks my hunch wasn't that wrong, after all.

at least the hysterical can plead ignorance. what's your excuse asshole?

That physics does not follow hysteria. The situation is serious, but the media are blowing it way out of proportion.

And as someone said, detectable means nothing. The detection systems are so precise they can identify the natural background.

Let's start with the fact that if this was a KDE message board, and I was to thoughtfully complain in any way, my message would be quietly deleted

Care to bring specific examples? I'm one of the administrators of the KDE Community Forums, and not once we have deleted a message we disagreed with. In fact all that's asked to users is to respect the Code of Conduct, their opinions can be freely expressed.

You'll need the pulseaudio module for bluetooth, enable the pulseaudio support in Phonon and then use the newly-released "bluedevil" (new version of the BT stack for KDE) to pair your headset.

This is AFAIK.

That is a limitation of Qt, which Okular uses to print, rather than in KDE or Okular itself. Odd/even pages should work on Linux at least, providing you use CUPS for printing.
