Quite—it would also mean there would be less motivation to attack the software at prisons in the first place. I completely agree that such a discussion is relevant to the discussion at hand.
Well, besides being pointedly non-gratis (and my point was that Apple has forced at least a few people to buy Macs so they could do iOS development, a demand no other vendor outside of perhaps the also-very-non-libre console industry would make today), it most certainly is non-libre as well; you still need that annually-renewed license, something that Apple could refuse to give you. Mac and Windows development can be done under GNU, in the absolute absence of any vendor approval mechanism. Any way you slice it, it's non-free.
- An iOS developer license has a recurring fee of $99 per year
- You can legally use totally free GNU tools to develop for Windows and OS X, but not the iOS, and not actually have to buy Windows or OS X
- The iOS cross-compiler still requires OS X, which means (legally, anyway) a Mac. The cheapest Mac currently on sale in the Apple Store, a Mac Mini, is $599.
In addition to the other comments made in response to yours (which point out renewal fees and that, yes, compared to the free VS Express, OS X's stuff that comes with the system, or the GNU toolchain which is available on both, it's quite a lot) you still need a Mac to do the actual compile job. The iPhone can't compile for itself and compilation doesn't work on free OSes. To do iOS development legitimately you're talking about quite a few additional costs!
"Walled" is when you have to pay a substantial developer license to be able to do what you just described. Which you do. That's at least a knee-high stone fence right there. By contrast, free software development on Windows and OS X is possible once you already have the OS.
They'd probably make them removable so you didn't have to wash them if that were a problem (and it does seem likely.) Perhaps an insert that sits between two layers of cloth to protect it from both the body and the environment.
Well, the wearable computer has long been hailed as a successor to the PDA-style mobile personal computer. Generally this is followed by brain implants, becoming one with the Network, and finally being made out of swarms of nanobots. The futurists would eat up the chance to have holographic augmented reality projected on sunglasses (or one's shirtsleeves) without having to lug around a pocket-filling box.
This one's kind of obvious—yes, of course it would. Oily, greasy cotton that's been wrapped around your sweaty butt all day autoignites at a mere 120 degrees Celsius.
Actually the whiteleg's (sorry, not white-tailed) genus has been tweaked—it's now Litopenaeus vannamei. Unfortunately the project, which was extremely on-the-side-y (started at the request of my supervisor to help out a lab he used to work at) never progressed very far, so my work on it was pretty much just doing QC on the reads, which were from BGI and therefore crap.
I was asked to help work on assembling the genome for the pacific white-tailed shrimp a few months ago. Unfortunately they have 2n = 88 chromosomes, and some have 2n = 92. It will probably be a while before that particular job gets anywhere.
I'm afraid I don't have a reference on-hand; the notes from my first-year ecology class went out with a disk crash some time ago. However, competition in plants for water and sunlight is well-studied.
It sucks that public facilities regularly get abused, but that doesn't mean they should be taken away. Every now and then, someone is bleeding to death and needs to get to a hospital. These things must be balanced based on how much damage they can potentially do with the potential benefit to society. The cost of anonymous slurring is usually virtually nil, but, say, gun ownership is not. Anyway.
You may be amused to learn that, often, the first organism to develop a useful mutation is one with other defects because it gained the useful defect through having a higher mutation rate in the first place. In human terms, this means that basement dwellers are a potential goldmine of useful nucleotides. (Or, possibly, the disabled.)
Only in a second-year genetics lab; a simple linkage experiment. I always sided with the worm researchers when picking amongst the big seven models (E. coli, S. cerevisiae, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, R. rattus, M. musculus, H. not-as-sapiens-as-we-thought) but to be honest my area of expertise is in sequence assembly, feature identification, and genome annotation through homology, so I actually enjoy poking around new and diverse species the most. (But if I had to settle down somewhere I'd pick the archaeans first.) I find myself having to look things up every time someone mentions bugs—but yeah, if P elements can distribute themselves across the whole global population as quickly as they did, just about anything seems possible for those little critters.
Most electrolytes are solutions; sorry, that's a bit of sloppy semantics. It's implied we're only considering the active ingredient while it's dissolved in water. We're talking about an energy drink here, after all.

You can have some of mine. These weird hemi-triscuits are overly flavourful.
Wait, wait. I have this one covered.
(But that being said, I agree with you.)

As has been said in response elsewhere:

It's really, really substantial.

Now just wait a cotton-picking minute. Anything that yields a crop of puns this good must surely be fabricated.

Wallets. The milk is green and papery.
damn.
Can we just... start over?
I should have said "inb4".
Then... yeah.

My sincere apologies. This is what I get for trusting my own professors!

No; both lethal clashes and lethal trampling are common amongst panicked and tense herd animals.
I answer your question with another: is a farmer a predator of dairy cows?
