About half of all my flights last year I sat next to someone who's belly enveloped the armrest.
Half.
Maybe I'm flying to the wrong places.
But I'm not getting a discount for the < 90% of a seat I'm left to occupy.
Forget the fuel cost of weight... this is justice.

"You leave a small tip for the robot maintenance engineer."
Please. By then, gratuities will have merged with lobbying to become a complex system of bribery. It will be functionally the same as the U.N.'s value-added-tax (which will replace various nations' income tax systems in 2020) except that bribery will apply to the black-market half of the global economy.
Change to
"You are completely unconscious of the app in your phone which correctly deduces the proper syndicate to receive the VAT/bribe. It automatically transfers the credits from your account, thereby saving you another broken kneecap."

I dug through the recesses of my brain to remember a password that short and the JavaScript validation had the nerve to call it "Strong". (And the JS only worked on keyboard events.)
Red Hat should know better.

From the title on her LinkedIn page, she most likely represents the establishment position.

I'd say the Don't Think About Pink Elephants test soundly contradicts the Autobiographical Think/No-Think procedure. And the basis for their scientific results is each subject's emotional response And I saw nothing to indicate that the study involved actual PDST patients, despite the article's scarcely related photo. .

It is possible now to get degrees in CS in major universities (even good universities with some top-notch programs) that are nothing like traditional CS. Some CS programs teach mobile app dev and PHP and web design, allowing their students to get by without so much as a binary search tree. Assuming these enrollment statistics apply somewhat similarly to them, the traditional explanation about gender-based learning of math and science is moot.

Android's niche is bleeding edge, so it's bound to be less stable. Android is on a multitude of devices, so it's bound to be less stable. Blaming the hardware is too easy for the average luser and I saw no indication from the article that they distinguished between real hardware problems and purported hardware problems. Do you have any idea how many "defective" phones get "refurbished" by simply being wiped ?
Personally, I would like to see a stable version of Android that's meant for users who want something with more stability than features. But then I use CentOS on my desktop, so I'm just nutty that way.

Maybe everyone will be happy when we just start calling it GNU/FOSS.

Be sure to tell Doc Brown. He's about to sell them some Plutonium.

But when the battery dies, they'll need to send in for a replacement iSpaceship.

Can you be absolutely sure that the organization that you're reporting the abuse to isn't the same as the organization that's probing you to begin with. People have been known to try that little trick. Sending them an e-mail may mark you as a live target ?

i.e. The Internet is becoming less homogeneous than it was when Everyone Who Mattered ran IE6.

Actually, I don't mind the new moniker (Web 3.0) if it means we can confine all the high-bandwidth, AJAX-heavy websites to an ill-reputed package named (Web 2.0) and toss it out the window.

There are all sorts of folks who never fart, vote, or give enough of a crap about anything to ever lose their temper.
Same folks.

When used in US airports, the machines will profile its customers and the TSA will just search anyone drinking Mr. Pibb.

Wait, your pipe key works in ConnectBot?

Mine seems to be recognized as if it were escaped.

e.g.
$ ls | more
ls: |: No such file or directory
ls: more: No such file or directory

From the virtual keyboard, I'm pressing 12# -> 1/2 -> |

Also, It's a pity I can't reprogram one of those blank alt keys with ":wq".
