She has forgotten about that in every single episode since it happened! I just explain it away as a special property of her blood that only worked on others after Mohinder processed it. Yeah, that's it.
Steve Jobs: "a Netbook is the worst of both worlds! [it only lasts for 10 hours and doesn't fit in your pocket] however our iPad is the best of both worlds, it lasts 10 hours and won't fit in your pocket!"
Why would anyone want an iPad if they already have a smartphone, when they can buy a kindle (for less) to read books, arguably the only thing it does better than a smartphone?
But don't worry, soon there will be about 4.5 million brainwashed followers out there handcuffed to their iPad wondering how they lived without the thing they had no practical use for before they bought it.
They did the brilliant thing... supporting bluetooth tethering. That means it doesn't need either Verizon or ATT, as long as you have a phone that can deliver data via a bluetooth tether, just get the two close together and you have a mobile internet device. Now, if you have a data plan you probably already have something quite close to the iPad already on your phone, but that's beside the point. Apple doesn't really care if something else can do what it's new product does, they will simply do it with more shine and win marketshare with mindshare.
Are you kidding? This isn't ten coin flips with a 4:6 result... this was 118, and ALL the results point to an increase in probability of a successful guess. If it were up to chance, none of those samples would point in the right direction, however they all *do*.
Why do the spammers have to be on one particular side? It's an arms race, which is more like a game of cat and cat; we both (the good guys and the bad guys) want end users to get just the messages we send. Each will do whatever it takes to get in the others' way. In my experience, it's just as fun (and a lot more gratifying) to stay on the good side.
Given that there are 7920 inches in a furlong, and.00036 LoCs in an inch of tape, we know that the tape's density is 2.8 LoC/inch-furlongs or 22,000 LoC/Sq. Furlong
For those of you who are confused by these scary looking Terrorbytes, these tapes would hold about a third of a Library of Congress each.
I think you meant to say one third of the tape would hold a Library of Congress... 35TB on the tape and a LoC is 10TB, or 20TB by some estimates. So between 1.75 LoC and 3.5 LoC will fit on a single tape.
They don't say how wide the track of information is... which relieves you of the need to convert from metric to imperial since the comparison is useless anyway!
It sounds a lot like they want to spot people who don't think they have PTSD, as opposed to validating claims by those that say they do. If you are willing to say you have PTSD, it needs to be taken seriously regardless of how your brain looks. However, if you have effects of PTSD that haven't manifested yet, they want to have a better chance at finding that out to treat it early on. In the case of a false positive and you don't really have PTSD, just take the opportunity to get really well acquainted with your therapist.
Doctors/Dentists without borders operate on a much longer timeframe, and do a lot of VERY time sensitive work (such as responding to crises arising after disasters)... There isn't much corollary between that and IT work other than Telecom Without Borders, which also requires a significant commitment, and specialized training to really contribute.
You bring up a very interesting point, however, with Wikipedia; you can volunteer on something that could make a difference to someone halfway around the world, right from your computer and using skills you have already developed. The Wikipedia project, but more specifically foreign language pages or even the simple English Wikipedia which is easy to translate, can be a great way to contribute to global knowledge.
Flying half way around the world to deliver *one* OLPC laptop to a kid in Zaire, vs. sending twenty of them plus a wireless backhaul device for the same price... (not that I want to discuss the pros/cons of the OLPC project, this is just an example).
If you want to make a difference, work the extra week at your normal job, take the payout on vacation time (assuming this is an option) and whatever you would have spent on travel, and donate the cash to the charity effort of your choice. It will go a long long long way.
With one week's time, doing anything professionally is a major resource sink. Just imagine if you (or your wife) were to walk into a new job, where very few others really knew what you did, and asked you "go make yourself worthwhile in one week". You would barely be cognizant of the position's needs in one weeks time, much less provide any real benefit to them.
On the other hand, if you want to merely feel like you did something useful, go fly yourself somewhere, nose around in someone else's business for a week, then up and leave. It's sure to generate some head scratching, but not much else.
What he meant to say was the ones that survive infancy (given the mortality rate is several times higher than in developed countries) *never get sick*. While I joke, the real story about what the OP mentioned is in "Born To Run" by Christopher McDougall. The difference is so huge between the bodies of people who train to run regularly and those that don't (as in, almost all westerners) that we might as well be from different planets.
so they stamp out an 8-page paper with more authors than pages, in a journal called "Circulation" from the American Heart Association , whose slogan is Learn and Live. (Bias anyone?)
Not only that, the study was done on AUSTRALIANS! As everyone knows, things happen south of the equator in exactly the opposite way they happen north of the equator. Being a resident of North America, I need to turn this paper upside down and read it backwards to arrive at the proper statistics that apply to me.
I stared at the headline for at least 30 seconds trying to figure out what the heck a Dries Buytaert was; figuring it was a typo. What the heck kind of new age terminology would take the verb 'dries' and throw some sort of portmanteau of 'buy' and 'alert' in there? Was this a new form of e commerce shopping cart? Ultimate "RTFS" moment, right there.
What happens when they build an intellectual property economy based on nothing but stolen intellectual property, you ask? It is inevitable, but that doesn't mean Google has to like it. They are smart to keep their treasure to themselves; the more they expose by doing business in China, the more will just get stolen and used against them. China has expressed no interest in protecting IP rights, why should Google just roll over and say 'well it will happen eventually, why not sacrifice all my IP in the mean time?'
Is the server being powered by a tiny nanobot that responds to the on and off states of the transistors via direct manipulation? Maybe the 'nanoscale walking biped' is powering the server by running on a nanoscale hamster wheel to generate electricity? These are all questions I wouldn't have to post if only I could RTFA...
The browser settings are something I have never yet seen in person, my own blackberry nor the blackberry of anyone I know had their search provider switched out from under them. As for the bing app, verizon did push down a loader icon (not an application) to let you load the Bing app. It is still your choice to use it or not.
Either my luck is good, or yours is terrible. Who knows?
On the gains, didn't something happen recently to lock a lot of smartphones into Bing? Can't remember the article.
Article, yes there was. Truth, not so much. Verizon started giving users the option of a Bing based blackberry application, but it's not installed automatically nor is it even added as an optional search provider in the default browser.
As for the Bing app, having tried it, I can say Google has nothing to worry about. Google's race into the smart phone arena is happening just as effectively as their race to be the #1 search engine, Microsoft doesn't stand a chance.
BTW, an earlier White House-sponsored, IdeaScale-powered Open Government Brainstorm identified legalizing marijuana as one of the best ways to 'strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness.'
It is probably worth mentioning (if it was even worth bringing up the content of that site in the first place) that the current number one idea on that site is a meta-innovation aimed at giving users the ability to apply 'ignore' votes to ideas to better stifle unproductive but popular entries. Sounds like they need to throw the whole thing away and just run slashcode!
What do you guys make per year for coding this site? I can start getting the next submission ready...

It seems like "fails to account for (X) Asshats" is *always* the case.
Is it true, that perhaps "no one expects the asshats!"

You forgot the obligatory:
The tape can hold 3.5 libraries of congress, with a density of .00036 libraries per square inch.
Wow, interesting story. Hey, wait a minute! If you abhor Web 2.0 so much, what are you doing on slashdot?!!

If the copyright is your life + 70 years, then there is a higher incentive to kill you to get the work in the public domain ASAP.
Now that's thinking ahead... Except whoever killed you will also likely be dead before the work enters the public domain!

Is: "Drupal's Dries Buytaert On Drupal 7"
THANK YOU.
Now, what's this about a Drupal?
