Of course this would be Ryanair, the subway of air travel. I can't wait until they actually book standing room only and have people pushing in backwards so the doors can close.
There is a better write up of this theory at: http://www.technologyreview.co...
I also think this ignores the possibility that civilizations do not continue to grow by leaps and bounds but at some point plateau in terms of their growth / energy & resource consumption, planetary departure. I.e. the jump to a Type II civilization (from linked article) does not necessarily preclude a Type I from surviving at that level until the sun it orbits dies.
Google, please, please, please get rid of the IE8 is an out of date browser reminder. I know it is, I am forced to use it right now at work. Your constant reminders are going to drive me away from gmail...
Checksums aren't unique; multiple IP addresses could map to the same checksum result unless your checksum is the same size as your IP address, which would likely make it easy to figure out the IP address.
They must have some really top notch content if they are worried about linking with only the summary threatening their business. I typically read articles for the insight and interpretation (the why and the how), not just the details of what happened when and where.
If they are actually providing some deeper level content they should want anything that links to their site (drives traffic, ad revenue, etc). Unless of course it is behind a paywall...
I am going to Japan in October, so in addition to earthquakes, tsunamis, radiation, ninjas, and godzilla, I now also have to worry about lava??? Damn...
I don't play my Xbox too often, and when I do it seems that rather than being able to sit down and blow off some steam in a game, I spend half an hour updating everything. This is killing 'casual gaming' for me. I know this happens on the PC too, but seems way less frequent for games like SC2.
I think for the most common tasks, people avoid the start bar by pinning their main applications (or use an applauncher in XP like Objectdock). The problem is when you need to do something other than the common. I think this will cause major confusion like the Office Ribbon where you know what you want to do, you know how you used to do it, but you can't find where it is anymore...
The Start menu was at least somewhat intuitive to find buried settings in Control Panel or seldom used programs.
I think you are correct on the percentage, and there is also a proposal to widen the area of the job offers (within 1hr commute). Currently you can turn down any good job that requires relocation or a change in commuting time.
I think a lot of good employer/employee fits are turned down due to a requirement to move...
The article seems to be/.'d, so I did not read, but do we know for sure that the THz scan caused the failure? This could be a coincidence (this is not a 'do cigarettes really cause cancer' question, this is a was an actual root cause analysis performed?).
THz radiation has a very low penetration depth, and I assume that most medical devices would be relatively immune to this due to their packaging even if EMC regulations don't require testing for it...
PS this is also not a defence of your friendly, welcoming TSA!
I will second the use of Costco. They have very high end equipment, good printing options (paper selection, borders, b&w, sepia), and in some of their larger centers can handle poster size prints that will be delivered to whatever Costco location you are close to.
We have some largish (>16" diagonal) prints hanging in a room that sees lots of sun, and have seen no fading in ~7 years.
Yeah, I played with it too, and it did feel like an early release product.
It was interesting enough though that I would consider it in a year or so. What would make the difference for me will be how they handle integration with MS Office (and OneNote); if this is seamless and intuitive this would make a good business phone. The iPhone (my current phone) is great for everything else I do, but still seems forced whenever it needs to interact with Exchange, and Safari doesn't seem to handle SharePoint sites well (although this is not likely Apples fault). Android also seems to have this issue, and it was non-existent on my BB.
Is there any way to verify these emails are real? Dotcom is a known "shady character", what are the odds these are fakes to get attention and distract from his legal issues???

I think the killer value will be when they combine this with their drone delivery service...

Personal account, and I am pretty conscious of using InPrivate browsing, so this could also be related to lack of cookies/persistence...

They are products that aren't intelligently designed.
Is crashing the platform into a rival city's hockey arena considered innovation? Just asking...

Walled gardenness.
He should just use a Phoenix Firewall instead...
I agree completely.

So I'll wait and see...
Or restrict first posts to only say "First!", like we always used to do...
Yes, seems a bit like my (admittedly outside) view of US politics: a binary choice between Republicans or Democrats.
I am sure there is some political analogy here for what that would make Windows Mobile... Ross Perot?
Homer: There's the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way.
Bart: Isn't that the wrong way?
Homer: Yes, but faster!

Put some effort into it: I draw mine to actually look like a cloud...
For me it is two factors:
1) I can pick this up and play it (Xbox version) for 20-30 min at a time and have fun,
2) Was $10 to download.
Yeah, it may not be Diablo, but just like finding other things to read whil waiting for the next GRRM Game of Thrones novel, it fills a void.
