Does anyone know offhand what kind of minimum system requirements this thing has? Is it similar to Firefox OS?

Seems like even with the problems you've listed, it might still fit a niche that I haven't seen filled very well.
These tests do not have to be on paper alone, either. Look at the CCIE from Cisco. That has an extremely difficult lab component that no amount of "teaching to the test" is going to help you overcome (which is why having one pretty much guarantees a six figure income).
At 1.3Million, sure, it's possible, but I don't personally think there are enough right-wing revisionist history Japanese-Americans to have generated this much response.
Anyway, the facts support my assumption directly from the petititon. The vast majority of Japanese names on the petition do not list their location, while a handful directly report they are from Japan: Taizo H - Tokyo, Kuniko N - Fukuoka.

Here in NC the amendment to ban same sex marriage passed with something like a 20% margin. That was despite anti-amendment spending beating them by 2:1 [1]. People have fairly deep convictions about these things and I don't think a campaign commercial is going to sway anyone's opinion.
This might not be a laymen solution, but it's a very simple procedure in most browsers.
Might I ask what tools you guys are using to manage this?
Anecdotally, I did a website recently for a carpet cleaner. Standard wordpress job with his services and things. At the top of the home page, he wanted a link to a form for redeeming living social coupons, which, not wanting to say "Click Here for", I just made as "Reedem Living Social Coupon".
It turned out after a couple weeks that many of his users were not clicking "Reedem Living Social Coupon", but clicking the "Contact Us" link. As a quick fix, I renamed the link to "Click Here to Redeem Living Social Coupon" and bolded the text. He mentioned a week later that this had a noticeable improvement in people clicking the correct form.
People who use the web for scheduling carpet cleanings are not always the same as the twitter crowd. You need to remember who your audience is, not what all your programmer friends prefer.
(And for some closure, I ended up adding a "coupon code" optional entry on the generic contact form for people who still clicked the wrong one anyway.)
I work for a device manufacturer that went with Intel for a product - and x86 is a huge problem regardless of Dalvik.
The fact is, most popular apps out there, and essentially all games, have a portion of their code running in JNI (C libraries called by Java) for performance reasons. It pretty much wiped out half of the Android Market as incompatible and had software partners screaming at us.
Yeah, I was in middle school at the time.
I think between hacking that game, HTML on angelfire, and the TI-83 calculator, my trajectory for life was set.
Unregulated cheats and hacks led a friend and I to inadvertently invent a proto-minecraft over a decade ago.
Around 1998, I was playing Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight when I started to experience cheats and hacks. Someone taught me how to do it, which was incredibly easy (each weapon file was a text file with variables you could change: projectile=bullet, damage=5, speed=3). Simply replacing the file client side would change the behavior.
When playing around with the projectile=[id] with some ids I found while map making, a friend and I discovered we could modify all of our weapons to shoot out various world objects such as bridges, platforms, doors, etc. We started playing the game almost exclusively this way for quite awhile, going off to separate corners of a map, building things, then comparing our structures.
So, I have to say, great idea on the quarantine, Rockstar!
I could refresh til I get a desired puzzle (shoe matching). Then write a simple cursor controller program (say using Java Robot API). It would scan across the static shoe area on the right looking at shoe colors. Then scan across the shoes on the left. When it matches a color shoe, drag across to match.
Writers work with words, but some smart writers invented sentences as tools to help structure them. Some other writers invented paragraphs to structure those sentences. Some even smarter writers invented novels, short stories, screenplays, etc. These are all tools built with writers tools to make writing easier.
The processors you use to run your code are tools made by electrical engineers built with logic gates, which are tools they built on top of electrical components, which are tools themselves. etc etc etc.
Yes, but it doesn't work exactly like that. s/not suck/profitable.
This just means that instead of taking chances on a film which is a big risk (think Inception), we will simply see more and more super hero movies and more and more sequels. There is much less of a margin of error when people are downloading things.
I think there's little or no room for a "Requiem for a Dream" type of film in the coming years. Maybe kickstarter will have to be the avenue to make movies like that.
I, personally, can't see a reason why a CS program would not be a priority for a university. I, personally, am also not an administrator at UF and don't need to have an opinion on it.
I'm sure this will pop up another 10 times this week though, as if there is a war on computer science.
Turing picked something uniquely human and used it as a baseline. Unfortunately, what we got is passing the cargo cult turing test, as described in the Chinese Room Experiment.
I think what we all had hoped for, however, was HAL. What we are going to get is more and more iterations of cleverbot.
His pseudo-kickstart page is unlikely to generate anywhere near the amount of funding it would on the KS site. I'm wondering why they wouldn't allow it to be funded there.
Is there something dubious about this project that the typical tech blog cheerleaders are ignoring, or is there some reason this kind of project is not allowed on Kickstarter in general?
I think as comments get higher to the top, people start voting them down more, which might not be the cases for comments which are rising (theory: people reading further down in the comment section are possibly more thoughtful and more likely to upvote, while at the top the ADHD crowd might be more likely to knee jerk downvote?).
In any case, i've recently changed my default sort to "top" and feel it's an improvement.
I'm curious at $900 of just how much they plan to give out this time.
"The court held that Google's framing and hyperlinking as part of an image search engine constituted a fair use of Perfect 10's images because the use was highly transformative"
I'm going to assume this guy has been picking up the phone on this issue non-stop for the last week and is tired of hearing from opponents.
He was probably just entertaining himself.
I'd wager half the products at CES are running canned demos in flash. It's an open secret and everyone does it.
"Politicians will do whatever they have to do to get re-elected. Everyone thinks if we just elect the right people, we'll have change. If you want change, don't worry about electing the right people. Just make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right things".
Now, save for someone being bribed outright by a lobbyist, I think this is the context we need to work within.
Not many people seem to stick around for long though.
