So 10% are sold to parents with kids there. That's a pretty small number, but most of them probably aren't buying for their kids. What do you think parents are going to do with their kids when they go to a video game store? The kid wants to come along, and they might buy kids games too while they're picking up GTA 5. So we may be looking at ~1% of cases where GTA 5 is being purchased for the kid -- and then, what age kid are we talking about? A 7 year old has no business with it but a 17 year old may. Not seeing indication of a significant problem here.
Not to mention what happens when you look up after someone honks and see the light is green: you rush to make up lost time and go recklessly without looking carefully, and probably keep the phone/gps in one hand too not wanting to drop it.
Sheesh, there's nothing wrong with Red Hat tying their brand name to only what they're providing support for. You're perfectly free to install CentOS if you want RHEL without support, and Red Hat is perfectly free to not want their name on it or for their reputation to take the hit when you can't make something work without the support.
It's not the user, it's the device manufacturer doing the spoofing. The user agent of my [very cheap mass market walmart] android tablet's default browser is "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B367 Safari/531.21.10". I guess they do that to get tablet versions of pages served by websites designed for ipads.
Android dominates tablets because of people like me with a $60 android tablet -- when it's that cheap, it doesn't matter if there are a few things it can't do because it's more of a fun purchase by people who don't really need a tablet to do much.
They remove past indexes based on a new robots.txt? They have no obligation to do that, so they shouldn't -- robots.txt should only prevent adding any new archives of the site.
Considering the ISS was built where and how it was built due to the US space shuttle program, it may not make a good starting point for whatever technologies will be involved with the next space station.
It probably would've been good for his presidential popularity/authority. With it being his third day in office nobody could've blamed him for making the military incompetent, and huge national tragedies (including accidental ones) usually cause Americans to rally around their leaders and vote more powers to their president.
And certainly Kennedy wasn't going to blame the USSR, possibly start a nuclear war, be made a fool of by other countries not seeing evidence for USSR involvement (for example NORAD would not have seen a soviet plane), probably be arrested by a military coup who would rather admit blame than die, etc.
Anything that doesn't kill every last bacteria on the planet can almost necessarily be survived deep underground much more easily than in space -- and some things that do kill every last bacteria, too. There are no objects left of sufficient size in unstable orbits. Gamma ray bursts, too, are rather trivial to shield yourself from not very far underground. The only thing that will make the earth impractical is solar warming in a couple billion years, which obviously doesn't justify people over robots today.
There are good arguments for human space exploration -- but the survival of the species is a really bad argument for it because if that were your actual goal then there are so many smarter things you'd do before thinking of space.
No asteroid impact has ever or can ever extinguish all forms of life on earth or render the planet anywhere near as uninhabitable as the next best planet. If you're worried about mankind's extinction, build underground shelters and stock them with resources -- infinitely more effective and cheaper to boot.
If you want to kill someone, you don't need to hijack their autonomous driving computer. It's a lot easier to just snip the brakes like the movies have been doing forever. Physical sabotage does the job.
A 14 year old PC would presumably be running Windows '98, they couldn't have XP. XP, on the other hand, was still being shipped on a lot of netbooks and such just a few years ago.
Warming does increase overall rainfall though, doesn't it? Obviously it's not good for the diversity of species or for humans, but wouldn't it lead to an overall increase in greenery?
As if decompiling results in useable code. Nobody's going to be able to develop usefully with decompiled, or even intentionally obfuscated source code. In fact, they could provide the full source code and just strip out all the comments to render it a hopeless pain to use.

Actually it won't, since the article says the last similar island lasted a year.

GNOME has been doing it since the 2.0 release more than a decade ago. Microsoft has nothing on them.

Nor are modern whales. Some even eat other species of whales.

It's not as if any hobbyist "dumb kids" are working on ppc64.

Giant sea walls involve a lot more taxes.
What they're working on is making it profitable enough to bother.
Ubuntu's supposed purpose is to add polish, so one shouldn't expect them to be doing kernel work.

You know they used to take the jobs and give them to boat loads of slaves from Africa with no penalty. I'd rather someone in India have the job.
Since the phaser beam usually strikes the clothes, it should just leave people naked.
