Imagine you are coming up to a point in the road where the road bends to the left. However this is mostly obscured by bushes, ans something, maybe a drainage ditch looks a bit like a road bending to the right. Usually you will sense that something's not quite right, slow down and see what happens. Now imagine that the car's headlights illuminate the false road, leaving the real route in relative darkness. Also imagine that hundreds of hours of driving had conditioned to believe that the car would illuminate your path. It could end in disaster.
These don't replace the static headlights, they stay where they are and do what they already do. This adds a SECOND pair that tracks things. It won't leave anything in the dark that isn't already dark in your current car.
My understanding has been that we should expect a civilization to use radio broadcasts that radiate out and which we can distinguish from noise for only maybe 100 or so years. Prior to that, they've not invented radio. After some point, all transmissions are compressed and/or encrypted so that they're harder to distingush from noise. And at some point, transmissions may be done via other media, such as point-to-point lasers and even things we haven't discovered yet. The likelihood is that all over civilizations have started at different points and progressed differently, so we've likely missed that window on all other civilizations.
That only holds true if the other civilization isn't actively looking for life also. They could very well be intentionally broadcasting a message in a format and media designed to be easily detected by as many other civilizations as possible.
It might not take additional calories unfortunately. The body generates a lot of waste heat that could be used. The things we ware usually have a "hot" side against our bodies, and a "cold" side on the other; that kind of temperature gradient is exactly what is needed to capture energy.
and Netflix wants to NOT have to pay for upload bandwidth, even though they give nothing in return.
I've never understood what makes them so popular, really.
Netflix has always, and will always, pay for their own internet connection and bandwidth. What this is about is people in the middle without any direct customer relation to Netflix or the end user, wanting Netflix to pay them too.
Anytime you are not allowed to know what is in your food, how it was made, or where it came from, you know your government is not looking out for Your Interest.
Fine, let's label every product that was produced by someone wearing a red shirt, since the dyes used in red clothing might cause autism. Lets label everything that was grown in soil containing more than 5% clay, since clay is known to contain traces of radioactive material.
These labels would be just as informative and helpful as labeling GMO food.
There is an app that states its purpose is to upload your photos. That makes the uploading of pics it's provided service. So when that app is removed the uploading of pics should stop irrespective of *how* it uploads the pics.
You feel so strongly about that point that you had to post as an Anonymous Coward so that no one could effectively engage you?
Is it reasonable to have reports of this incident immediately served up when any potential employer googles his name?
Yes. Google's job is to index the context of web pages. Google is NOT responsible for the content or truthfulness of those pages. If web pages out there have his name on them Google should return those pages when someone searches for that string. If this man has a problem with the content of a page he should take it up with the people who published the page.
At least in a sane world, this is how things would operate.
Photos below 4MP (Says 2048 x 2048 instead of 4MP dont know why) resolution does not count against the quota. Higher resolution pics count against your quota. Storage price is 2$ per month for 100GB and 10$ per month for 1 TB. Need a credit card and auto recharge every month.
Your information is out of date now. As of Google I/O you can store up to15MP images that don't count against your quota, and unlimited 1080P videos that don't count against your quota. http://googleblog.blogspot.com...
I'm genuinely confused as to why people keep buying Apple stuff. I can get the same performance for half the price and twice the battery life from a lot of different brands.

Obviously this is a grievous error which should be fixed, but I can definitely see how a machine learning system could pick up this answer as a false positive with no foul play*: extinction through biblical flood may be the most commonly held hypothesis in the US.
42% of Americans believe in creationism, and it's not unlikely that they'd all believe dinosaurs were killed in a flood.
The other 58% could be split between asteroids, volcanos, continental drift, "other" and "don't know", with no single group having a share over 42%.

I think religion is pretty dumb and all, but I'm having a hard time seeing why it needs to be "fixed". Search engines are for finding web pages that contain your search terms, not for finding the truthful answers to questions. If the resulting crappy web page actually contains the searched terms then Google did it's job properly.
If you don't believe me go and read the math requirements for the what is to be taught.
Let's go right to the source http://www.corestandards.org/M... That all sounds sane and logical to me. What conspiracy theory website did you read the requirements from?
Not going to happen. As more and more people drift away from religion, only the really "hardcore" people are left. They will fight even harder to hold on to relevance.
"I'll go to Oakley, Ray Ban, whatever, Philippe Starck in this case, download the file, pay $3.49 for it"
If you think you will get anything from a popular name brand for $3.49 you are out of your mind. 99% of the cost of these brands is for the name its self; the materials cost practically nothing.

Unless you want an SD Card, NFC, Wireless charging, front speakers, OIS camera, or removable battery.
Apologies, I missed that it does indeed have OIS; one of the sites I read earlier reported that it did not.

It's a good day to be a developer apparently, as Visual Studio 2015 was also released today.

They convert photosynthetic energy into mechanical energy.
How is that different, other than the way we convert it?
It's not... But by that definition jet aircraft are also solar powered as the jet fuel is a fossil fuel.

Sooo.... why don't the taxi drivers just quit their jobs and go work for Uber instead?
Like, seriously?
Wtf is the problem?
Because they choose to operate within the law instead of doing what's trendy.
Why don't the cab drivers move to Uber so they don't have to pay the licensing fees and are on an even playing field?
Because they choose do operate within the law instead of doing what's trendy.
other than the parts we changed.
If you're offline, how are you adding new entries to your calendar?
By opening the google calendar app on the phone and creating a new entry.

This couldn't be a marketing ploy to increase pledges for the next stretch goal(s) at all...
There are no more (monetary) stretch goals.

You do understand that basic GPS cannot track you, right?
Presumably, since Apple bought them, this technology will be put in phones, which tend to have data connections.
They were planted by the Illuminati of course.
