There are quite a number of stars visible in the full sized photo.
I looked at the full sized image (3000x2400) and I can only see a few dozen stars, a very, very, very, very small fraction of the stars that would be visible if not for the very bright planet in the middle of the picture.
The same is true on a night when there is a full moon vs a moonless night.
Anyone who knows anything about photography will not be surprised by this.
I use this recipe. I've dropped the salt to 1 tsp without any effect on flavour giving each loaf only 1000mg of sodium.
I've used this recipe as a base for white, whole wheat and rye bread with good results. Just make sure you keep 1/2 white flour (bread flour not all purpose).
If I'm forced to buy a new device because a manufacturer can't/won't keep the OS up to date what makes you think I won't purchase from a better manufacturer next time.
You don't cultivate brand loyalty by screwing over your customers. At least not in the Android world where there's competition.
After being diagnosed with hypertension I'm on a sodium reduced diet so I avoid all junk food and processed food because they are all loaded with salt. I only eat whole foods and even bake my own bread. Consequently, I wouldn't get any of the benefits you mentioned and I'm sure I'm not alone so I do take a multivitamin.
If you are making that backup for your own use to protect against damage to the media then no it is not stealing. If you give that copy to someone to use then yes it is stealing because that person is benefiting from the use of the software that you did not pay for.
Snowden took a copy of something he did not own for his own use. Don't get me wrong, I believe he did the right thing but it was stealing.
What about installing updates to an app I've already paid for?
I currently have a problem with an app that I paid for that has an update that adds a new permission for a feature that I have no intention of using. So if I want to fix the problem I have to accept the new permission.
If this was a $1 or $2 app I would just find an alternative app that didn't require these permissions but this app cost $15. I have quite a few expensive apps and if they all do this it's going to cost me a lot of money to replace them with no guarantee that the next app won't do the same thing.
I don't see this as an issue for free apps. If you don't want to pay for the apps you use then you have to accept some advertising and loss of privacy. Free app developers still have to pay the bills. My complaint is that if I pay for an app I should have some control over what access they have on my phone. And it is my phone after all.
Find a VOIP provider that has an IVR option and you could accomplish the same sort of thing. I use voip.ms.
I have the same number as a taxi company in an adjacent area code so I used to get a lot of calls for taxis when the bars close so I created a timed rule to forward to voicemail after midnight. I never thought of using the IVR for that but I may give it a try.
I've had a TekSavvy DSL line for 6 or 7 years now and in that time I've had two outages and one performance issue. The outages were resolved in under 6 hours and the performance issue in about 12 hours.
Their support people really know what they're talking about and although they follow a script, like any call centre, they actually understand and don't just read from it. And even though they don't officially support Linux they also don't run they other way when you mention it.
This idea of scientific units being multiplied together magically becoming unscientific intrigues me - please subscribe me to your newsletter.
Now I understand your problem. Your think the numbers were being multiplied which I agree would be stupid. I thought you knew that "/" means division or in this case "per" as in "how many dollars will it cost me per watt hour produced".
Trolls and people under 5 years of age might not know this.
He wasn't commenting on the veracity of the story. He was pointing out that it was anonymous and Tweet sized and wondering if that's how/. is going to gather stories now.
You seem to be hung up on the precise scientific terminology. But the metric used ($/watt hour) is not a scientific metric and doesn't pretend to be. It is a valid way of evaluating and comparing the relative financial viability of various technologies.
Being able to compare the startup and operating costs to produce a watt is useful. After all, isn't that's how consumers are charged for electricity?
Is it scientifically accurate? Probably not. Is it useful in the context it's being used? I think so.
No idea if any of these are supported by PS4, just stunned that someone thinks USB and Bluetooth are the only possible options for audio IO.
This isn't about general audio I/O. This is about supporting headsets. As far as I know there are no headsets in existence that use the interfaces you listed.
I know it's like pissing up a rope to expect someone to RTFA but can we at least read the summary before barfing something out.
I used to work on a Java transaction processing application at a major financial institution that handled more than 1,000,000 transactions a day that consolidated data from Unix, mainframe and Windows systems. The transactions came from batch and online, client-facing applications that had five nines uptime requirements.
I don't know, sounds major to me. And we had no more "major system problems" than any other app and less than most.
It's not to say that Java is the answer to everything because nothing is. But it is definitely capable of doing the heavy lifting.

It's the same reason no stars.

An EBCDIC website?
Awesome EBCDIC reference.
The true nerds will know what it is...the fanboi, pseudo nerds (the majority of Slashdot now it seems) will Google it and say they knew all along.
Don't like a permission? Don't install the app.

Chuck Norris doesn't pronounce words...words pronounce him.
I was shocked that people would post in public that they are dishonest - and brag about it.
Cultivate virtue for a better life, and a better world.
Honesty is something you have when others are looking. Morality is something you have when no one is looking.
Consider for a moment the historical reality of Canada's leadership in the Iran hostage crisis in 79/80.
Canada had nothing to do with it. Ben Affleck saved the hostages.
Sounds like you've taken a little too much LDS.
It's LSD. Double dumbass on you!
You and your colourful metaphors.

And if you're not a ninja I have two better solutions:
1) Drink from a glass.
2) Drink from cans.

Er, analogue audio? HDMI? S/PDIF? TOSLINK? ADAT? SSB? VHF FM? DAB?
