Then it will be Windows + FirefoxOS or Ubuntus new Phone OS i hope. Wonder if its running them virtualized or if they each have their own hardware?

If they're already looking at being able to switch between 2 platforms and google is saying no, the next logical step will be to have both iOS and Windows running along side each other.

Commiting acts of espionage on american citizens on american soil combined with signing contracts to violate the constitution, puts them somewhere between the mafia, spies, or domestic terrorists. I hope the guy charged with sexual battery doesnt go free because of something like this, being able to find him by breaking the law doesnt make him less guilty, and it doesnt seem like the evidence against him was a result of breaking the law , only his capture. I hope he gets to stay in jail and those that had anything to do with that NDA go to jail with him.

It seems to me that if the US allows its DataCenters and ISPs to selectivly throttle bandwidth as they please, that the UN could easily use this to force us to give up being home to key internet infrastructure like ICANN, ARIN, etc..

Only problem with stargate was the absurd assumption that only 36 constellations could somehow give thousands of combinations of 6 point addresses in space all landing at planets. Another problem along the same lines is which star in each constellation do you use as your reference point to find the planet, because yo ucould arrive at a variety of different locations depending on which star in each constellation was used to find the intersecting point in space. (6 constellations formed the X/Y/Z axis and at the center of the axis is supposed to be a planet)

Need more SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe! At one point there was both a large petition and some offering of funds to continue this show. I'm sure many would still support it.

The Seagate Central external HD seems to run linux. Its running sshd, lighttpd, smbd, along with several other common services. Its only got 256mb ram 1gb swap so you can't do a whole lot with it at once but it still makes a pretty neat little linux box. Was an unexpected bonus being able to ssh to root on my external drive. It only costs like $15 more than a plain external usb drive.

While I wouldn't call jQuery a hack, it would be reasonable to say for an embedded platform like the panasonic tv, it might not be able to handle the overhead of loading jQuery and still performing well.

My understanding of this is that there are many government imposed limitations on the phone companies that benefit the average person, and if we switch to digital the TELCOs will no longer be bound to those regulations and will be free to become our new overlords.

^^ oops didnt mean to post as AC.

Love some of the features in it including the exposure ring.

agreed http://www.mdisc.com/what-is-mdisc/ it looks bad-ass, lasts 1000 years, can withstand extreme heat, humidity, and light, tested by the DOD, and readable by normal dvd drives.

DVD's do not have a very long shelf life, even if kept very well. Maybe they make longer lasting (more expensive?) DVDs with better dyes and materials.

now that they know they are being monitored and showing him favor might get them on a watch list.

if legally males stay male, and females stay female, then this article is worthless. If you work with government agencies you would have to give your legal gender anyways, not the gender you think you are or have been surgically altered to be.
