Licensed C64 Emulator Rejected From App Store 277

Miasik.Net writes "A fully licensed Commodore 64 iPhone emulator has been rejected from the App Store. The excuse Apple used is a clause in the SDK agreement which doesn't allow for applications that run executable code. It seems Sega is exempt from that clause, because some of its games on the iPhone are emulators running original ROM code."

Also, you can install is to memory stick and use it everywhere.

IMHO Eclipse is great for Java, good for C++ and OK for PHP. But the main reason I use it is its UI consistency. Once you learn to use it it doesn't matter in what language you working on, so using it in a new language has almost zero learning curve.

Also it makes it easy to work on different projects in different languages at the same time - a blessing with applications that use both python and C++ code for example.

The problem with this unit is that no atom will fit in a cross section of a barn and matter in this scale is just wave-particles that have no real volume... on the other side, to measure the megaparsec distance you'll have to wait a few million years for the light to reach out from the other tip of the volume unit. so basically you're telling you relative that they'll have to wait a few million years until they're ready to cook, and even then, only with sufficient advancement in quantum mechanics to stuff atoms through such a small area...

Ethical Killing Machines 785

ubermiester writes "The New York Times reports on research to develop autonomous battlefield robots that would 'behave more ethically in the battlefield than humans.' The researchers claim that these real-life terminators 'can be designed without an instinct for self-preservation and, as a result, no tendency to lash out in fear. They can be built without anger or recklessness ... and they can be made invulnerable to ... "scenario fulfillment," which causes people to absorb new information more easily if it agrees with their pre-existing ideas.' Based on a recent report stating that 'fewer than half of soldiers and marines serving in Iraq said that noncombatants should be treated with dignity and respect, and 17 percent said all civilians should be treated as insurgents,' this might not be all that dumb an idea."
