which never end up killing the site like dissatisfied users claim
Ahem, Digg.com. Admittedly, the v4 update was more than just a new layout, but the rate of collapse was amazing. It was a social news site (sound familiar?) where the number of comments on the articles dropped by an order of magnitude in days.
You botched the link. Try here.
Google car: Will be named the "Beta." It will work great for the first three years, then Google will shut it down. If you have any problems, you will find that there is no customer support number.
Microsoft car: Will be named "Ding." You'll be cruising down the highway when the control panel suddenly says "Rebooting to install updates in 9...8...7..." Owners of the first few versions will have close encounters with telephone poles. Nobody will sell you car insurance.
Apple car: Will be named "iDrive." The car will cost $300k and will look modern and sexy. Build quality will be excellent. No matter what destination you enter, you'll end up in Camden because it uses Apple maps.
Oracle car: Will be named "Oracle Car." The car will cost $400k and you'll need an expensive consultant to make it work.
$16 million divided evenly among 330,000 employees works out to $48 per employee.
It does not appear that it was submitted to any closed, for-profit journals (like Science).
But they did submit a bogus paper to Science. It was titled "Who's Afraid of Peer Review?" The paper lacked a control group, but Science published it anyway in spite of its obvious failure to measure up to scientific standards.
Here is what the article actually says:
The ironic thing is that even with the benchmark booster disabled, the Note 3 still comes out faster than the G2 in this test. If the intent behind the boosting was simply to ensure that the Note 3 came out ahead in the benchmark race, it doesn't appear to have been necessary in the first place.
Apparently the "damning" part was completely fabricated by the submitter.
According to the summary, OpenSUSE 13.1 is not the one that will default to btrfs, so I don't know why you are saying not to install 13.1.
The openSUSE 13.1 release is due out in November and is still using EXT4 by default, but after that the developers are looking at having openSUSE using Btrfs by default on new installations.
The recent disclosure of spying programs like Prism makes it riskier than ever before to share important personal data with electronic devices.
This may seem like nitpicking, but it is not the disclosure of spying programs that makes it risky, it is the existence of spying programs that makes it risky. Disclosure just highlights the risk that was already there. If anything, disclosure makes it less risky because people are less likely to pull such shit when users are more aware of the possibility (i.e. more likely to notice).
My prediction is that Microsoft will almost give away phones when they own Nokia's handset business. Micorsoft realizes that they are in danger of an entire generation learning that they don't need a PC running Windows and that this is complete disaster for Microsoft in the making.
The same logic would apply to their Surface tablets, but it hasn't happened. Of course, things may change when Ballmer is gone.
This video seems to provide a good explanation of the motivation for Wayland.
According to the follow-up question in the petition by Dale Emmons it is XOR.
Perhaps someone at Apple made the mistake of thinking they were two separate seasons.
The studio sure seems to be encouraging that mistake. They are selling DVDs saying "The Fifth Season" on the packaging with no hint that it is half of a season
So, when there is a hit-and-run accident the witnesses will be telling the police to hunt for the car with license plate number "EXPIRED"?
senders who know the recipient is driving at the time...Facebook couldn't know
You greatly underestimate how much data Facebook is collecting about you
tesseract is absolutely in love with the idea of the letter A with the circle coming out of the top even though you tell tesseract that you are specifically scanning English
That character is used as an abbreviation for "angstroms" in English, which is probably why specifying English doesn't eliminate it. Of course, if the software was smart it would realize that the probability of an A-like character being an angstrom sign rather than an "A" is very small, especially if the preceding character wasn't a numeric digit (possibly with a space in between).
If all else fails, lower your standards.
