"Five Quarters Of The Orange" by Joanne Harris
As for the icon, beer is kind of orange... or have I already had one too many?
Re: Science fiction? Or reapplication of old news?
I guess it's the "achieve" part that's new, vis-à-vis just theorizing about it.
Hey Lester!
Brazilian lingo is portuguese, not spanish, so it's currency's (the "real" ) plural is "reais" and not "reales".
You're welcome!
A bit off-topic, but...

Did it root *any* Android phone?
Wow! It's better than z4root, I would love to see that part of it on the market as an isolated app.
You can polish a meteorite up real nice,
...but it’ll never be anything other than a meteorite!
Thank you very much ElReg for including a link to the site
I clicked on the link and now I'm a criminal in the (twisted) eyes os SOCA!
Well, I'll mail you my attorney's fees...
Or beeing on the 13th floor... most of them go from 12 to 14!
You would say that, wouldn't you....
Hell of an acronym!
When the demonstration programme is over and the star production, it should be named “High Energy Laser 2 Units”
(see title)
The keyword is "square"
So 10 sq. km is not 6,2 sq.miles, but a bit less than 4 sq. miles... (couldn't find the time to convert to nanoWales, sorry 'bout that).
Carbon fibre is so last tuesday for bike frames
Titanium frames are the thing to have now!
But will Airbus or Boeing make an airframe from Ti, or maybe just the rivets?
At least it doesn't crack like c-fibre....
It's a coefficient, it has no unit. Scientifically.
Nintendo (or iPhone) ahead of Lamborghini?
Yeah sure, I'd like a 3DS better than a Gallardo...
Thumbs up for the 3.79009 bi value
They may have not risked that value for being too close to a winning bid, perhaps?
Chairman
I believe Ms James would object to being called chairman (although she obviously has the balls for the job)...
Probably not
Doesn't mean it's OK to get that feeling, though.
Trial where ?
Well, let's see, I'm sure that the USA would immediately extradite any north american citizen found guilty of hacking into servers in, say, China, or Iran, wouldn't they?
No?
What a surprise...
Wealthy sheep...
The post is required, and must contain letters.
Damn!
I hadn't even realised my mistake until I read your post! Would make for a brilliant party name, though...
Buy your burqas now!
So, if (1) the law forbids the exposure of "underwear, buttocks or the breast of a female", and (3) we might assume it's not refering the the whole of each, then no feminine cleavage is alowed to be shown anymore?
I'll get _your_ burqa now!
I find this time-bending communications a bit hard to believe...
If we'll invent something that allows one in the future to communicate with one in the past, why haven't we got that message already?
Geographic restriction?
Just go with the flow... the torrent flow, that is.
"LePad"?
I smell an iLawsuit!
Not avoidable
The logging software captured screenshots... How does a secure connection avoid that?
What, no iPhones on the list?
Are they saying iPhones aren't smart? Or would Apple dislike the extra charge and punish Sprint for its insolence?
The dock IS customisable
"... and a dock at the bottom of the screen offering popular shortcuts: phone, contacts, messaging and browser. Sadly, this isn’t customisable."
Nope, wrong, the dock is customisable, exactly as the screens are. You just need to drag the shortcuts bteween screen and dock.
Wishfull thinking?
Hey, I love Android and never wanted an iThingy, but this kind of talk always sounds a bit like truthiness, the "news of my death are greatly exaggerated" kind...

This is not a title
"...there's something inherently wrong in sending a document to other side of the world in order to print it out on one's desk"
Yes, well, it's called faxing and has existed for ages...
To Pete 2
> Pah! Any decent perl hacker would get it all on one line
Yes, of course, with that line beeing hal a page long...
Scandal? What scandal?
I've just seen another fine example of the Beeb doing it's public service thing....
Bottled Water, Wine, etc.
I don't tink Perrier will ever come from any other source than the southern french one... as most (good) bottled water brands... Or just drink Wine!
FAIL!
Only that?
«Curley said the ideal mobile device for use in hospitals would need to allow for a "hot swap" of batteries, without the device closing while these were changed, session persistance and fast log-in and connection. It would also be "ultra portable", have a good battery life, not get too hot while in use and be "cheapish".»
And make coffe, while you're at it, no?
Australia wants to go back to the 18 hundreds...
... where the only por allowed would be doing it / seing it done with kangaroos in the bushes (as dangerous as that may be, if the roo's not in the mood...)
May I be the first to conclude...
... that Canada's History is old Beaver?
Who needs to register?
"The fine print behind these terms is currently under review, but at present, guidance suggests that any individual who has contact with a particular class of vulnerable people – not necessarily the same individuals – three or more times in any three month period will need to be registered."
Every police force worker, then....
Bootnote
*That is, all the money would be handed out only in the case of an infinite number of people in the chain.
Or as this is currency and can only be divided in cents, 17 people.
And the last one gets cheted out of 3 cents...
Early bird
Well, I, for once, started working an hour earlier. And you can't believe how much work you do when noone's bugging you over the phone or seeking an answer to the 10th e-mail they sent about something they think is important (to them)...

"Bing Responsible For Paralising Internet" anyone?
Shouldn't it be on the front page?
In other news...
...cyclists have been flocking into Örebro...
Hmmmm
So you are saying that a game where you kill prostitutes and old ladies is okay, but titties is tottally wrong? Well, that's Apple to you...
Can you ear the drums
Fe-NAND-o?
Rope around his neck...
...and genitals?!? WTF?!?
Ouch?
My God, they've killed Kenny
Bustards!...
Another app
So, it's just to add a function to another kind of app... Why does it deserve a patent? If M$ adds volume control to text-to-speech in Office, will they also patent it? How is it diferent from the Apple one?
It's b0ll0cks!
Comparisons
Who in their right mind would use steroid-fuelled U.S. baseball players as a model of health? Why not chinese weightlifters, or 70's eastern european athletes?
Sheesh!
