Three words: "Wagging the dog". His stance was forced on him by Republicans who claimed he was trying to drive bad news about him out of the press every time he tried to do something about the Taliban. It IS his fault that he didn't stand up to those craven losers who put their political power plays above American security interests.
So the President of the United States wanted to "do something about the Taliban", but was unwilling to stand up to do so for fear of political mud slinging. And it is the potential mudslingers that are "craven losers who put their political power plays above American security interests", and not the President?
It seems to me the President recognized the security issues and the threat the Taliban posed. It seems to me the President could have done something to act in favor of our security interests. It seems to me the one putting political power plays above American security interests was in fact the President, who did nothing because he feared mud slinging.
This is simply a logical reading of the "facts" you have laid out with regards to Clinton wanting to do something about the Taliban and the Republicans slinging mud whenever he tried.
Actually 20% is the subset of smart phone android users that would buy a Google branded smart phone with android. As most phones running android are not from Google that suggests that if the current minority rises to twenty percent a larger percentage would be running android but not on a Google branded phone.
The problem is, to the plebes, every Android phone is a "Google phone".
Malware is usually software that does something the user does not want. Therefore, if the user wants to remove some software, and it can't be removed, then that software qualifies as malware, right?
Nice try, but malware is software that is harmful. The software that prevents you from counterfeiting moneys (be it in photoshop, or on your scanner itself) is obviously not malware.
Yes quite - the varicap is electrically connected to the antenna, and changes to its capacitance change the (get this!) electrical length of the antenna.
This. Crysis is boring. It's a generic FPS with a terrible story and fancy graphics.
And don't forget about the hilariously bad AI, the game-breaking bugs, and the overall shitty performance.
The reason people use Crysis as a benchmark is because it's an unoptimized piece of shit. Plenty of games look AND run better. The CryEngine is a dog. A pretty dog, but a fucking dog.
The next Unreal and Doom engines look far more interesting.
What if they develop a drone that can feed off sugars, and empty's your kitchen every day? No worries?
3rd Amendment
Or, if you're smart, simply load your car up with sugar the next time a sugar truck crashes and spills its white gold. Dump it in your back yard to attract the drones, and then sell them back to the drone keepers at a huge profit. Watch out for British guys trying to sweeten their tea, and watch out for rain.
The antenna's electrical length is critical, and is set for a narrow range (the length is typically centered in the given spectrum).
Tuning can either adjust the physical length or a couple different electrical components (such as variable capacitors or resistors) to change the electrical length.
Tuning affect transmission much more than reception.
And of course, the frequencies and modulation methods of the signal have a huge impact.
Radio signals are very different (i.e., less efficient, but more resistant to degradation) than cell phone signals, though they are bound by the same laws of physics. It is very much the same effect going on.
The amount of problems you experience when this happens is dependent on many factors.
Most importantly is the reception in your area before detuning. Detuning has been shown to cause a drop of over 20 dB. Cell phones typically have "perfect" reception at anything higher than -50 dBm, and will be more than adequate for voice calls anywhere above -90 dBm.
The degree to which you lose signal (in terms of raw dB) is dependent on how you bridge the antenna (how much you change its electrical length) and what your reception is like on other towers/bands in the area. Your phone is smart - when reception is shit it will look for other towers and even try other frequencies. If you detune your antenna away from your 3G frequency, you probably tuned it closer to another frequency. If there's a tower/band on that frequency, your phone will use it.
And of course, detuning affects transmission much more than reception. 99% of all those videos on Youtube are pointless as they simply show people holding the phone and looking at the bars or signal meter. They're doin' it wrong (and still showing the problem).
People doing data transfer speed tests or actual call tests are doin' it rite.
So yes, if your signal is good, you'll probably be fine. But if you're anywhere that isn't a densely populated urban center, you'll be fucked.
The issue was the death grip affecting signal strength. You even used Apple's "physics" defense to state that it affects all phones. What does a bare metal antenna have to do with it if all phones are affected?
Hello and welcome to the world of physics.
Shit (both matter and energy) can interfere with electromagnetic signals, like those used by your cellular telephones.
When reception is hindered by your hand, the concrete in your building, or whatever else, we say the signal is "attenuated".
Modern devices can handle a large range of attenuation before showing any negative effects, and they can handle even more attenuation before the fail completely.
All cell phones experience attenuation.
The iPhone 4 experiences attenuation, but it also experiences detuning. Detuning is what happens when you alter the electrical length of your antenna.
You see, kids, antennas need to be "tuned" to a specific frequency. When you move the dial on a radio, you're altering the electrical length of its antenna. By changing the electrical length of the antenna, the antenna then receives signals on a different frequency.
The electrical length of antenna is a combination of its physical length and some electrical properties of the material its made out of, such as the antennas total capacitance - its capacity to hold electrical current.
Unlike attenuation which gradually weakens a signal, detuning instantly and dramatically cuts the reception of a signal. Consider an old radio. Tune to your favorite station. Then turn the tuning knob to the left or right. You'll find that your favorite station is gone, and you're now listening to something in Spanish!
The iPhone 4's antennas become detuned when human skin or another conductor bridges the cellular antenna's bezel with the next bezel, another point on the case of the phone, or just the skin. This is due to a design flaw in the antennas. Apple decided to make external, conductive antennas on the body of a portable device. This, by any measure, is fucking retarded.
I hope you have enjoyed your brief visit to the world of physics! If you would like to know more, you can go fuck yourself.

About as accurate as this fist prose.
From TFA, Kodachrome processing involves different chemicals. These chemicals contain the actual dyes. Regular film has the dyes on the film itself.
Hard drives are absolutely not cheaper than BluRays.
How much does a 50 GB hard drive cost to manufacture?
How much does a 50 GB BDROM cost to manufacture?
We'd already be walking around with 500GB USB sticks.
Or worse, we'd be walking around with 1Gbps wireless connections and we'd be streaming HD movies from YouTube.
And the "HD" YouTube videos would still look like shit.
Actually, no.
Counterfeiting - whether or not you spend it - is illegal in and of itself.
A general sense of moral obligation not to aid and abet criminal activity?
Fuck that.
How about "Oh shit, this affects us. OH SHIT!"?

Yes quite - the varicap is electrically connected to the antenna, and changes to its capacitance change the (get this!) electrical length of the antenna.
The current version of "net neutrality" has loopholes in it that allow ISPs to continue the behavior that got us to this point in the first place.
These aren't the regulations you are looking for.
This.

I really dread the rise of Micro-Audience ads, because if they're written smartly they'll be indistinguishable from Informative +1.
I really dread the rise of Slashdot-Audience ads because they're not written smartly, so they're indistinguishable from Slashdot articles.
I'm sure there'll be a javascript, flash, or HTML 5 solution that handles it, then feeds the hashes to the adserver, which then feeds the ad to you.
I'm sorry, you forgot to express your post in the form of a tag cloud.
The slow-ass image recognition shit will run client side, either in javascript, flash, or some HTML 5 canvas hell (which nerds will jerk off to).

Why would you need to recharge a microplane? And why would you want to use a powerline? I just use mine for lemon zest.
I use mine for making furniture for doll houses.
Landing on a power line is fucking easy to do.
Go look at some power lines.
Do you see any things that have landed on it?
I bet you fucking do.

No, really, I mean it.
