It shows most of Africa, the Middle East, and southern Asia with the worst pollution. Countries at higher latitudes have much cleaner air. Canada, the United States (apart from the San Joaquin Valley and areas of the midwest), and large areas of Russia, Northern Europe, and Australia have pollution below the WHO guideline. Western Europe is pretty good, but Germany and northern France have particulate pollution higher than the guideline.
because it puts rival services such as Spotify at a competitive disadvantage
That article sucks. It makes it sound like Music Freedom is a music streaming service, but it's not. At least in the USA, there are many services which fall under the Music Freedom feature and are all zero-rated. Current list is 44 services. Spotify is one of them.
I agree that letting T-Mobile decide that music is free but other data costs you isn't in the spirit of net neutrality. I'll be interested if they appeal.
1, an aside: why does the Slashdot AI/GS* think "You may like to read" a year-old story about a shooting in relation to this article? ("10 Confirmed Dead In Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College") Seriously, fuck that thing. It's USELESS.
Because that story has 1165 comments. That "Related Links" widget just seems to show the stories with the most comments. Yes, it's USELESS.
The $20 million is what Russia was charging for a Soyuz seat back when Shuttle was flying. Now that the Shuttle is retired and US has no other option for sending astronauts to ISS, they've upped the price to $60 million. That was the point being made.
Shuttle was way more expensive.
And there is an effort underway to build a new terminal here in Washington state to send a lot more coal to China. I see a couple of coal trains a day go by my office window on the way to BC, but if they build the local terminal they want to send a dozen coal trains a day to be shipped to China.
To be burned. So the pollution can come right back to us.
Ugh.
I'm an engineer and not a fan of the open office at my job. I have my favorite Dilbert on this subject posted on my bookcase: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2011-05-31/
It is nice to be able to check if someone is at their desk without having to do anything more than turn my head, but I'm easily distracted and it can be very hard to focus on work even with the headphones.
Oh yeah, back to work!
So, it seems Voyager is still on the "magnetic highway" after all. I seem to recall during the discussion of the "magnetic highway" that some scientists were waiting for a change in the magnetic field before they claimed to have left the solar system. Somehow that got ignored when the plasma density data came out.
Thank you for posting that you have a 4-digit user id. Reading this in the new design, I couldn't even tell that!
The user id isn't shown. And there is no "Parent" link from a child comment, to help follow the conversation. The conversation thread needs to be easy to follow, I shouldn't be squinting to tease out slight indents to try to figure it out!
The narrow comment space sucks. At least I can turn off the useless huge pictures.
I don't know why the summary gives the impression that all this technology leads to a top speed of 202 mph.
Clearly the Side Slip Angle Control and a lot of the other technology mentioned is intended to improve performance while cornering. Improving downforce and handling through the corner doesn't help top speed at all, but it does get you around a twisty track a lot faster.

Well, I guess it's different by about a billion people.
It always bugs me when Waze routes me through residential streets. I wish there were a setting to stick to thoroughfares.
I am just wondering where to find those 5%. Any one with a clue?
Just look at the map on page 3 of the report.

Though "GmbH" is still awkward, and as an American I've got no idea how to pronounce it.
Try "gee-em-bee-aitch".
"However, we are concerned by the alleged findings you had conducted."
Is that even a sentence?
Don't worry, that's just slashdot editors doing what they do best.
TFA actually states "we are concerned by the alleged findings you cite with respect to the proportion of soy content" which is much more gramatical.
The ghosts finally got him.

"The bill was created last year allowing companies to gag orders relating to National Security Letters."
That sentence in TFS makes absolutely no sense.
I have to guess that it should say "allowing companies to challenge gag orders" or something like that.
People with the phone number 867-5309 has similar problems when that song came out.
That's probably true, but at least it was a little easier to get a new phone number than to change the lat/lon coordinates of your farm...

I'll be impressed when they get this working for my TI-81!
The "Grow America Act"? Sheesh! That worse than the Patriot Act. I propose a bill entitled "Stop The Idiotically Forced Law Embellishments".
Come on, you know that STIFLE would never make it out of committee...
If you do, you end up stomping rather hard on the brake.
I made that mistake once. It scared my wife half to death, and she did not let me hear the end of it!
Yes, but his mind will now be concentrating inside the car instead of being in some other place while talking on the phone thereby avoiding accidents.
To avoid accidents, it really helps if your mind is concentrating outside the car.
So how do you feel about BC ports being used to ship US coal to China to be burned?

Sweet, I've been waiting for this! Well, I've really been waiting for an bionic eye that has zoom function, x-ray vision, recording capability, etc.
We're getting there!
This article was written by someone who didn't do their homework.
I totally agree. Brier Dudley wrote a nice column picking up on this craziness.
If a vote for McGinn actually were a vote for better broadband access, I might change my vote!

Please take another try at the redesign!!

Seriously, is this woman simply delusional, or does shw think she can bribe the weather when shit comes apart at the seams?
You might note that Dana Rohrbacher is, in fact, male.
I loved my Casio scientific calculator watch! Here's a page about it.
Full scientific calculator plus 27 metric conversions! It's not much for style, but I had great times with that watch!
I've turned UAC prompting off entirely. And I don't miss it. Maybe I'll pay the price one day, but I'm taking my chances.
If Windows 7 has a reasonable UAC that actually provides some security without driving the user crazy, maybe I'd turn it on again.
