Certainly not as sexy as the Swift announcements, but has anyone else noticed that the Xcode 7 developer beta release notes state that 7 will add generics to Objective-C? Looks like a major language update.

So he identified the vulnerability by diffing the patch against the original? Seems like a pretty obvious investigative step, as in it's one of the first things you'd want to look at if GM isn't telling you what they changed in the ignition switch. Diffing software security patches to identify vulnerable code is standard practice. I guess the GM thing is maybe interesting since it's mechanical hardware, though investigators in things like fraudulent aircraft parts have been diffing hardware for years.

A 727 was stolen in 2003 and has never been found: Wiki

Here's what pictures from satellites look like at 1:00 a.m. over water: Picture

It's just a grid of cores on the chip layout. Nothing wrong with a grid that's 3x5. A 2-dimensional grid does not force the number of cores to be a power of 2.

Oh, the Sears Wishbook. Two things every growing boy needed, a toys section, and an intimate apparel section.

"Underrated" means that they were modding you up, not down. The mod down is called "Overrated".

The simple English Wikipedia doesn't try to simplify scientific concepts any more than the regular English Wikipedia. It just uses basic words chosen from a small vocabulary set (when possible), and simple sentence construction. It's meant as an aid for people learning the English language. It's not going to help you understand complex physics topics like the one you mentioned.

You need to parse the title as "(Simple English) Wikipedia", not as "Simple (English Wikipedia)".

Are you surprised? This has been MS's strategy for the better part of a decade. Try to compete on vapor rather than on what's shipping. A competitor announces that they're shipping, say, a new MacBook, and MS will announce that they've got something flashy and new about to come out. When it finally ships two and a half years later, it's a POS nowhere close to what MS claimed it was going to be.

Remember everything that MS said was going to be in Vista?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you didn't RTFA...

You should look up Stephanie Forrest's research. She's been doing things like that for the past 20 years. To give you an idea, she has a mid-90's paper called "A Sense of Self for UNIX Processes".

It's funny how if a group is *actually* powerful, you never see them making claims that they're powerful. Their actions say more than words.

Anonymous are just poseurs. Not only are they poseurs on world-scale power, they're poseurs on computer hacking, all they know how to do is run DoS attacks. They're an embarrassment.

Purchasing price probably dropped a bit. Good time to get a deal.

And the counterexample to that is the TU-144 crash in Paris, the aircraft did not rebound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpPaaP1IIe8

Aeroflot's an airline, not an aircraft manufacturer. Aeroflot flies mostly Boeing and Airbus today.
