Re:Emoji are showing up as evidence in court more frequently on Wednesday April 03, 2019 @10:52AM (#19563798)
This reminded me of an issue with emoji in slack... then you type ":)" slack changes it to the emoji, but when you hover over it you see ":slightly_smiling_face:"... the first time I saw this I thought that the message was passive aggressive... it was later that I realize that slack does the change automatically
there is not only the fact that they need to be developed... if I remember correctly they gave dates to have them in production. maybe she felt she could not have them done on time.
They changed their statement. Now there is no mention of the issue not being "security concern" (http://news.lenovo.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1929)
Re:Science’s Biggest Fail on Monday February 02, 2015 @02:18PM (#8986170)
I have a problem with science been "done"

Science is never done, or at least it shouldn't be. We create models and update them or change them as we get more evidence and the technological advancements allow us to perform better tests.

Gravity was not done with Newton. sure, it's a great model to explain how objects are attracted to each other, but Einstein came alone and proved that that the model was not correct and it made incorrect assumptions (constant time for example).

I think that is the great misunderstanding. We expect science to give us final answers. We expect it to study something and then be "done". But that is not the case.

if you add a location, it gives you the right answer... example: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=hours+between+1pm+march...

0.9583 days = 22 hours 59 minutes 57 seconds

the time change does not apply everywhere, in places near the equator there is no daylight saving time change.

Re:What's New in Google Chrome 12? on Thursday June 16, 2011 @09:33AM (#2661151)
they discontinued google gears support. yesterday when I tried to access Remember the milk (as a chrome-web-app) and it showed me an error message, when I tried to install the plug-in it said that it wasn't supported.

this is one of the disadvantages of the automatic update process I guess.

Re:Dropbox Attempts To Kill Open Source Project on Monday April 25, 2011 @07:09PM (#2483293)
yes, but that has nothing to do with having the code, as I said in a port below... using it would be a violation, but why block open source code.
Re:Dropbox Attempts To Kill Open Source Project on Monday April 25, 2011 @05:03PM (#2482883)
yeah, one thing is to use the code on drop box servers... I could understand the ToS violation in that case.... but having the code is a violation?
