For most iOS applications which have some concept of owning files, you can copy files back & forth using iTunes. Hopefully you could do the same with ROM files for this app. Anyone know?

Re: @Norfolk 'n' Goode
It is not about being "better than the perpetrator" - that is hardly a meaningful statement in a society that no longer pretends to have a common system of morality. Rather than trying to score goody-goody points, you should ponder how society works better or worse with the policy.
Re: With every passing discovery,
Why assume that Jesus only saved THIS world through his sacrifice? I don't remember anything in the Bible claiming that salvation was limited to planet Earth. Indeed, I thought a large part of the point of Chrisitianity is that, unlike Judahism, it is Universal, and that one should therefore spread the good news.
Re: With every passing discovery,
Is there any serious theologian that has ever stated that life on other planets would be a problem? Why do you guys seem to all think there would be issues with this?
What was it's alignment, and how many hit points did it have?
The main Christian powers before 1000 AD - Byzantium, the Carolingian Franks, and, to a lesser extent, Anglo-Saxon England - were far more important for the preservation of knowledge that kicked off the Renaissance than any of the Islamic powers. Indeed, the Renaissance was to a great extent kicked off by refugees from Byzantium after it's sackings by the Turks, and, earlier, by the 4th crusade.
Weaponize it
Obviously the next step is to improve its military capabilities so as to be able to take out competing technology news websites.
re: erm...
I lounge corrected, except I'm not sure all of those count as mopheads though.
Manchester Mopheads
If they are the preferred Mopheads of Manchester, then they are Manchester's favourite Mopheads, no matter whence they came, innit? You don't know of any Mopheads that Manchester likes better than the Beatles, right?

Consumer?
Surely the title 'consumer' is more appropriate for the fellow who spends way more cash on high specced cameras, music players, portable computers, and totes them about everywhere, rather than someone who just keeps a simple smartphone on them. What do you do, run around with a Batman utility belt on?

Ignore good reviews
In any product review website, you should ignore the good reviews: look at the bad reviews and decide if the writers are insane or not.

App Store HAS ALTERNATIVE WEB BROWSERS
The App Store ALREADY CONTAINS ALTERNATIVE WEB BROWSERS, by Gum. iCab, for example, is a good example. Unless Apple has actually rejected them already with this excuse, then I call bullshitanigans on Opera.

mount joy
If I recall right, these iMac thingums have a standard mount connector in the back, so they can be attached to all kinds of multi jointed holders, so the touch screen thing could be useful in certain non-desktop scenarios, such as a mounted on-the-toilet computer.

Flog everyone involved, then burn down the house - it's the only way to be sure.
no exceptions!
interesting that it doesn't have the capacity to throw exceptions ... pretty much all popular languages do that nowadays, excepting 'C'. I guess they don't mix too well with all that 'goroutine' stuff or something.

Bring back hanging for unemployed people: that'll sort them out.

We should have shorter daytime hours during the winter - say 45 mins or so, and longer ones during the summer. That would sort everyone out.

This is why Democracy is such a bad idea, and pretty much the opposite of freedom.

Posted in Telegraph falls to the Tw*t-O-Tron
Hmmm
Are you trying to say that the Telegraph comments were actually automatically generated? They don't appear anything like the actual Twat-o-tron output that I have seen. I would also point out that a lot of people do indeed feel betrayed by the current leftist orthodoxy, and attempts to pretend that such people are nothing more than automated comment generators is all rather "new Labour", frankly.
Effing
There is no other programming language as capable as C++ when you are creating complex software that needs to be highly efficient. Lisp comes close, except for the cons-ing overhead. C is fine for simple software. Other popular modern languages lose out when you need real world efficiency, whatever their other virtues.
Pretty bubbles in the air
The problem is that the scientists themselves are not a neutral party - due to the state funded nature of science these days, it is in the interest of environmental scientists to turn up the hysteria. By accepting government money, science becomes just another lobbying group.
Twits
When you realize that most of the Apple bashing here should be read in a Monty Pythonesque "British Twit" kind of voice, then it makes a lot more sense: The problem is that the UK is filled to the brim with chippy twerps who think that anyone buying an iPhone is trying to "make a statement" about how sophisticated they are, and therefore feel an overwhelming need to pull them down a peg. This phenomenon is common across all kinds of goods in Britain, and is the main reason why Britain sucks so much.

For shame...
All the piss taking above is out of order: this kind of science has a far higher potential for improving human happiness that all that boring astronomy and physics nonsense. We just need to find ways of increasing the situations where sexually themed fancy dress is considered de rigeur... replacing casual Fridays with sexually themed fancy dress Fridays, for example.
Posted in Bloody code!
Simplicity
More important than single exit points is to keep your methods simple. With simple methods, the logic of the
if (account == null) return;
thing half way through is plain. If you have a method that contains pages of code, with nested if's, for's and case's, then a return statement half way through makes the method much harder to understand.
Thick
Britons may be thick, but are very very good at drinking and violence, which is what really counts in the long run. I suggest we find some of these brainy countries, go over there and beat the crap out of them and take their gold and women. That'll teach them for being a load of swots.

rsync vs Time Machine.
rsync compares checksums on every file that may have been updated. i.e. it needs to open every single file that isn't obviously different, both on the source and the target disk.
Time Machine uses Leopard's FS Event facility to record changes to the file system (at the directory level), meaning that when the time comes to perform the backup, where is much less work to be done. As per the Ars Technica review: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14

Oh, Mr Bassett
Mr Bassett, despite his 12 years of Mac use when he was in school, never realised that the menu bar at the top of the screen changed with the application in focus.
Perhaps Mr Bassett would care to share the name of the home where he is currently being looked after, so that the more charitable amongst us can send donations?
