Old is not cool! Well, literally, older DNA samples have been cooler than cool for ages, but DNA has a half life of about half a millennium, therefore the older the samples the less useful they are. If they have a 38k mammoth DNA sample, that is by no means impressive.
The new favicon is horrible. There is a yellow section in the uppercase 'G' while the the whole letter is on a white background. That way, it looks like the 'G' is broken around the yellow section.
No, I did not understand until I read the comments. I am not a native English speaker, and the GP's rant served to me as a hint that something was wrong. By the way, one should not have to look into the context to distinguish 'peek' from 'peak', since there is a convention to separate those too words in spelling.
Now that I have a rooted Android phone, I can't imagine going back to even a jailbroken iOS device. I can just do more with it, and many apps in the official stores are written for those with root permissions so I don't have to go nosing around in Cydia to find apps that do things which Steve has forbidden.
You gave the best argument for a rooted Android device instead of jailbroken iOS one. Even if Apple's products are better.
I guess that those users were more likely to be professional chatters. Within 10 minutes of signing up to the site, I received one message from another user, but Ashley Madison demanded money from me to read it. I suppose it is how the scam, if there is one, works. I could investigate more, but I forgot my password. I could recover it but... *yawn*
It would only be enough for that quantity of license plates if the DB developers had minimizing the amount of data per record in mind.
Also, there can be more info in each data entry, like the camera it came from, the velocity of the car, the time, and instead of longitude and latitude, each entry could have the name of the street or intersection, recorded as text, over and over again, as set up when the camera was installed.
By the way, you were allocating all of the 80GB space for license plate data, but it is more likely that same disk is where the OS is installed.
Laennec [...] discovered that the new stethoscope was superior to the normally used method of placing the ear over the chest, particularly if the patient was overweight. A stethoscope also avoided the embarrassment of placing the ear against the chest of a woman.
There are many tiers to MS Office. There is the Home and Student, the Small Business, the Standard...
Does anyone know how LibreOffice compares to them? IMHO, LibreOffice has more features than MS Office Home and Student, but cannot substitute the higher tiered editions of MS Office.
The meaningful distinction is between poisonous animals and venomous ones. I guess I don't need to explain to you the implications on survival strategy that those two features entail.
But the GP seemed to make fun of scientists for discovering now what the Indians have known for ages. The case is that scientists know about poisonous frogs for a very long time, you know, by talking to the very Indians that have been using frog poison for ages.
By the way, AFAIK, you can not call a poison a venom just because if it's in a man made pointed object, because such an object is not a biological structure and therefore the human bearing it is not venomous.
It's not "of the future" if you have it now. There must a way to say someone has applied some of more recent innovations into something without claiming it is "of the future". Nobody knows what the future will look like, and most of predictions turn out to be wrong (Where are all the auto adjustable clothes and flying cars?). Most things that used to be touted as "of the future" look old-fashioned nowadays, especially because they had a lot of drawbacks. They were resource consuming, inconvenient, uncomfortable, ugly, or, simply, stupid.
With all that in consideration, claiming that something is "of the future" sounds too passé nowadays.
There would be a greater potential for abuse if raising a kid was not so expensive. Also, consider that if you does not show up to work, you are less likely to get a raise, or a promotion.
Some of these awards are just for the institution granting them making money. I guess there is a logo associated with their award, and a company that wants to sport it in their products have to pay a fee. There were so much critique about the look and feel of Windows 8 that Microsoft must be eager to associate their brand with such an award. If I was an institution that granted awards, I would have seen the opportunity.
The Civil Rights act was passed with votes from both parties, but it was also championed by a Democratic President. They took ownership of it - and, rather than fight them over that, the trend in the Republican party was instead to court the southern/white/conservative vote that was alienated by that ownership. You can see it in so many things, starting with Nixon's Southern Strategy.
Sounds like the strategy of the Democrats after the Confederacy lost the civil war. Does the myth that the two main American parties are better defined by being against each other than by their ideological affiliations have some ground in the reality?

Who uses Wikipedia as a trusted source? (...)
People who don't have access to any other source: like those.
On a related remark, for many people who don't speak Chinese, Shifu is the name of a red panda who fights kung fu.
Shifu sounds a lot like the Portuguese curse: "se fu...", which translates like "you're f--- up"!
If Firefox 44 comes in Jan., 2016, I guess that by the end of the year they will have caught up with Google Chrome.

The problem is that Stalin did not understand Socialism as well.

It's relevant because no one will watch that movie if they have to pay for it.

The news is that there is something new to say about North Korea that is neither crack pot pretentious threats nor a violation of human rights.

It's not venom unless the animal carrying it have means to actively inject it in its victims or enemies. What the Indians have been using is poison.

You have slept for too long. 150 year have passed. Those parties are not what they used to be.
