Can you hear that sound? It’s the sound of my eyes rolling. So, uhm, I’m not exactly sure what you want. Why are you so convinced that this updated design will also fail?

But they are aware of the problem and trying to fix it. The strain relief of this year's iPad cable tripled in length compared to last year.

The last time, SpaceX had the sexier camera angles (including on-board cameras), so I would say everyone should watch their stream.

I don’t understand what you mean. I’m even more confused now. How many different 5by5 apps are there?

Can someone please explain the whole story from the start? I do not understand anything. 5by5 has an app, only recently released. Why would there be another one? Is the app 5by5 has the same as this Mule one? What is this Mule thing? Is it

Take a look at the Cinema Display. Thunderbolt is Apple’s docking station replacement. That’s its purpose and it’s awesome. They are pushing Thunderbolt because it’s a perfect solution for a problem Apple has had for a long time. You have t

What? No. Intel doesn't support USB3 yet. USB3 devices aren't even yet widespread. Since space is at a premium in the Airs, Apple obviously doesn't add an extra USB3 chip in them just to support what still is a niche feature. Ivy Bridge doe

That’s not really what I meant. Most people do not know what algorithms are in the first place. That’s what you have to teach. You would tell them that some of the most common tasks are searching and sorting, for example, and then show diff

This is a pervasive problem, one of the prime examples of why knowing the basics about algorithms and programming is a great skill to have. Many people do not think about whether they can automate certain things. Even if you tell them too,

What’s the perspective, though? Mass protests (ala OWS) were never really a focus of the Pirate Party. They were always about direct political participation (i.e. competing in elections). That’s not so realistic in the US where majorities a

You are funny. Those stats have always looked quite similar for Germany, back to the fifties. Alone for that reason they cannot be a good indicator for whether a country is civilized. I’m sorry, but state sponsored murder of 11 million inno

Possible. Unlikely. I couldn’t find anything by googling around. It’s pretty obvious that those warning shots have an extremely low probability of actually hurting anyone. Something with a low probability of hurting someone and done with go

Yes, I think saving two lives is preferable to saving one life. What’s so hard about that? That’s simple math. Firing shots at people is also illegal in most situations pretty much anywhere. The police gets an exemption from that blanket ru

That's largest as in most popoulos. 18 million of 82 million people. Federal elections are next year, the party is currently polling well above 5% nationwide, that's the required threshold for entering the parliament.

Reckless? Hardly. Think about risk and probability. The probability of any of these warning shots actually hitting, hurting or even killing someone is extremely low. I'm not aware of any warning shot fired by the German police ever hurting

I’m not sure where (legal) liability comes in play here. I don’t think there is a way to successfully sue Dell for this (nor do I think there should be).

Uhm, no, that’s not what apologies are about. When you apologize for something, you are also expressing regret for doing something. If you could decide again you would decide differently. In this case, a honest apology would be one where De

You (and I) are responsible if you are enjoying your privileges while – through no fault of their own - others suffer. Sweden and the west got rich through luck and exploitation. You are privileged. You are lucky. Recognize that and act on

Uhm, it’s Google that doesn’t allow turn-by-turn navigation, not Apple. I bet Apple would be delighted if they could.

Can Apple do it in their own app? That’s the relevant question. Third party apps are irrelevant. Google doesn’t allow third party developers (and that includes Apple, obviously) to offer turn-by-turn navigation. Here are the terms (10.2 c):

I’m sure Apple would if the could. They obviously can’t, though. I can’t imagine that Google would allow them to implement those features. So Google is the holdup. Apple uses Google’s API and is completely dependent on them in what they can

I’m totally in favor of mild punishments and I do think that imprisonment is barbaric and should be avoided if at all possible, but money as a punishment, for example, is not without problems. It basically gets rich people of the hook. If t
