A friend of mine has a dog that can open the fridge, find the meat on the top shelf, grab it and eat it - without making enough noise to alert her of the impending loss of lunch.
Dogs commonly respond to other dogs on TV. Any dog owner will have seen it.
It's just not news, and didn't need any 'research' to discover it.
Whether they can tell the difference between a photograph and the real thing is another question. I'm betting they're just hardwired to recognize 'dog shape'.
1. You haven't done your research and have no idea whether the article is correct or written by a 12 year old with an editing fetish. 2. If it's OK today it could be complete bullshit tomorrow, and your quote will be seen to be *not* in the original article.
No book does.. paper degrades, grease from fingers etc. will destroy it fast. Unless you keep it in a dry air conditioned environment and never read it you'll be lucky if it lasts 20 years.
Still a hell of a lot longer than the average PC though.
Firstly I doubt they could get the costs down that much.. Space flight is very complex and dangerous. Secondly the costs of entry to the market mean that it's likely to be a natural monopoly anyway, so competition won't exist in any meaningful sense (I also doubt there's any profit in it in the medium term so most companies wouldn't bother even if they could afford it - the 20 million prize wouldn't pay for a tenth of the development costs).
Wifi operators are not common carriers. They are legally responsible for what travels across their network.
If someone uses your connection to view kiddie porn, the police will go after you. No change there... the defense of 'someone else was using my computer' has been used too often and they don't believe it any more.
If you are insane enough to open your wifi then for gods sake setup a decent firewall and a proxy so you can log who's been viewing what, otherwise you could find yourself at the wrong end of the law. There is no change there, either.. this law changes nothing.
That is Manchester city centre. There are *huge* illuminated 'no entry' signs before them, and there's no reason for a car to go through there anyway as it's a bus lane during business hours (disabled access to parking too but they have special passes).
Still lots of tards try it, and it's not that unusual to see one of the bollards bent out of shape by a high speed collision.
The other week I saw someone had tried to drive into the pedestrianised area on Market Street at high speed and bent the bollard at about 30 degrees.. they must have been going at one hell of a speed to do it.. if they'd managed it they'd have probably killed a crowd of people so it's damned lucky they only hit a bollard.
Round here the local council does exactly that - after about the 5th time a driver ended up in the living room of the house on the corner, they put steel barriers up.
Next time around the car stopped a little earlier. Scratched the paintwork on the barriers though.
Speed cameras are a poor way of getting funding. A speed camera violation means a minimum of 3 points on the license, along with the funds required to prosecute the driver. The £60 fine doesn't even begin to cover that.. and after 12 points you're banned anyway, so you can't catch the same person more than 4 times - which takes money out of the economy (not spending petrol, insurance, probably now unemployed so they're costing benefits and not paying taxes, etc.).
If it's so tiny and small, it's probably got a low speed limit
Much of rural britain is under NSL, which is 60mph.. largely because there's no way to enforce a speed limit out in the middle of nowhere.
Techincally if the village has street lamps its limit is 30mph but that's often ignored because (a) it's a village with no police or speed cameras, and (b) 90% of drivers haven't read the highway code since they learned to drive and don't know/remember this fact. To counter (b) recently a lot of places have been getting large '30' signs installed.
Just above people were commenting on how it's illegal to post imperial measurements without the equivalent metric as well.
That's just spin. Everything has to have a standardised weight, size, etc., which is metric - well understood and used by everyone under about 60. The law does not prevent you *also* using any other measurement you like.. imperial, libraries of congress, etc. - so in this case the law is merely prevent unscrupulous retailers weighing things in fubars instead of kilogrammes.
The same goes for money. Everything here is priced in pound sterling. There's nothing to prevent retailers *also* pricing in other currencies - some retailers also price in euros.. they could price in beanstalk seeds for all anyone cares - as long as they price in pounds as well.
They managed to ship the Wii version of GH3 in Mono, which means it never went through any testing at all (or very little, like 'it boots, ship it!'), since in a music game that would be the first thing you'd notice.
Since 2.3 half the quests have degenerated into 'hunt the questionmark' and it's insanely easy to level.. in fact it's more of a task to *not* level before half your unfinished quests go grey.
Preparation for Activision perhaps? They're big in consoles and the relative complexity of a PC game wouldn't go down well on the average Wii.
As long as your hardware and OS can see USB mass storage devices and can run said software, you can freely load non-DRM tracks to and from an iPod.
It's worth noting Apple have now put an end to this practice... the new ipods are not mass storage devices and *require* itunes to read/write from them.
The monty python sketch was funny because it referred to the earlier cultural references to Spam... otherwise they'd have made a sketch about eggs or something.
However the modern use of spam is derived from the sketch - the repetition of 'spam' mirroring directly my experience of reading my inbox some mornings:p
You prove my point in face. If you distrust someone so much then reject them.
It's still not an invasion of privacy or anything else. You simply choose not to tell them about stuff.
OTOH someone who posted crap like that about facebook is probably the kind of person who doesn't like socialising in meatspace either, and not a good co worker.
I can't imagine what situation someone would be in where they didn't have *any* web connectivity where they were - not even their mobile phone... If they haven't got that then scheduling a meeting is going to be kinda hard anyway.
What's so secret? I get drunk and on a saturday night? Hold the phone.. major world secret there.
I mean, from TFA.. maintaining lists and 'top friends' (which personally I don't do, since I don't rate my friends against each other) is fine because it's the accepted way of behaving in modern society. Why does the AP say it's 'creepy?' - because they don't like facebook? Because they're afraid of what their friends think of them?
I'd seriously consider not employing someone with that attitude because it's antisocial.. and antisocial people can seriously harm a workplace.

At the time it was... but it's all relative. The most secure MS OS to date is still a swiss cheese.

they use obscure languages like SML/NJ and Pascal to teach concepts and theories
When I did my exams I thought it was lame that we learned Pascal, ADA and 68000 machine code.
Now I realize it made a lot of sense. We learned how to program, not how to copy C examples from books.

Overcautious lawyer I think.

IIRC There's a couple of A roads in wales like that.. hairpin bends, 60mph limit, and the width of one car.
If you meet someone coming the other way (assuming you see them in time) the only way out one of you to reverse to the crossing point.

No it's a programme.
You get a program on a computer, a programme on TV.. english is funny like that.

I was apparently originally in there and removed, Presumably because the editor didn't like Futurama.
Is the PS3 region unlocked in Australia then?
I seriously doubt it's *illegal* to sell one, just uncommon.
lol.. yeah that would probably get it banned in the UK and lead to many confused americans wondering why.
