IE6 still has 3.47% in the USA and 7.42% worldwide. So maybe 2-3% more before it really will be good riddance. Graphs and raw data are published on http://gs.statcounter.com/ home page, very nice.
Iran received much of their nuclear technology and facilities through assistance bound to the Non-Proliferation-Treaty, to which Iran is a signatory. Iran isn't standing up to its end of the treaty. Weapons research is an NPT violation. Limiting inspector access to its nuclear sites is also an on-going violation. On the other hand, Israel is not an NPT signatory. Israel never received NPT assistance. Israel isn't breaking any international laws by keeping its nuclear facilities closed.
But wait, there's more. If you call right now operators will give you the names of not one but TWO more nuke-wielding countries that aren't signatories to the NTP. That's right, you're getting a grand total of THREE countries that never signed the NPT and are sitting on a nuclear arsenal. Funny how you never hear anyone ask why India can have nuclear weapons but Iran can't. Funny how the Arab league never proposed a UN resolution to force Pakistan into signing the NTP and opening their nuclear sites.
The properties of the participants are:
n being the farmer's network speed in bits/second.
s being the airspeed velocity of an unladen pigeon.
K(d,m) -> [0,1] being the non-linear function describing how a pigeon's airspeed velocity degrades as the travel distance in meters 'd' increases and the weight carried in grams 'm' increases. Having K ~= 1 for small values of 'd' and 'm', and K = 0 for large enough values of 'd' and/or 'm'.
A property of data storage:
M(p) being the non-linear function describing the weight in grams of a digital storage device holding 'p' bits. The graph of this function looks a bit like a staircase, climbing up when 'p' becomes big enough to mandate a different storage technology (switch from memory card to hard drive) or an increase in the number of units (switch from 1 hard drive to 2 hard drives).
The parameters of the test are:
p being the payload in bits of the message.
d being the distance in meters from the farmer's home to the server (as the pigeon flies).
The farmer will complete the test in p/n seconds.
The pigeon will complete the test in d/sK(d,M(p)) seconds.
'd' affects only the pigeon, negatively. For very large values of 'd' we get K=0 and the pigeon will not complete the test.
'p' affects both negatively, but the farmer is affected linearly while the pigeon is affected in 'bumps'. Also, for very large values of 'p' we get K=0 and the pigeon will not complete the test. The farmer can handle very large 'p' with an upload resume.
Kaka and Villa elbowed and slapped (respectively) a player while the ball was not in play. Very light contact in both cases. You said Kaka was punished too harshly with a yellow card and Villa should have been punished with a red card - for the same offense. You, sir, are unfair. But that's okay. Football is unfair. Life is unfair.

Nice slogan, but... What rare mitochondrial genetic disorder could seriously affect the baby's health, but did not prevent mommy from reaching adulthood, marrying, and raising a child? Or her mom? Or her mom's mom? Unless they come from a long linage of women who keep radioactive spiders.
The doctors are doing it for the same reason dogs lick their balls, because they can. Morality aside, if this practice catches on it would seriously screw up genetic studies in the future. Since mitochondrial DNA is used to trace the maternal linage in the same way the Y chromosome is used to trace paternal linage.
We all know where this is headed. Sooner or later someone in Japan will build an anatomically correct schoolgirl android and pay her to put her panties in a vending machine so he could buy the panties and sniff them alone in his apartment... so alone.
The gunship personnel were CLEARLY upset at the loss of civilian lives. When told there's a wounded child (17:22 in the tape) they responded: "Roger. Ah damn. Oh well." Later added it's the Iraqis' fault for bringing kids into battle, which got an affirmative nod from everyone. Besides, it's just that one particular crew who got a bit trigger happy on just that one incident. These things don't happen and systematically get covered up every day. The fact a journalists killed there is irrelevant. Your tax money isn't financing murderous airborne psychopaths. Go read an iPad story.
From TFA: "it will make all voice calls over Sprint's CDMA 1X network". So no.
Probably no simultaneous voice and data either, as is generally the case with Sprint.
Probably won't work as a phone outside the USA because it's not GSM.
Try to look at it from the informer's point of view. Why would a person, who has spent years of his/her life in an organization, who got promoted inside the organization to a position of trust and power, take sensitive information from the organization and give it to a third party? Easy answers are:
A) Money.
B) Being blackmailed into it.
C) Revenge against the organization.
D) Suddenly developed morals.
E) Just wants to raise hell.
Since wikileaks is under-funded for tasks like bribery extortion and espionage, they get mostly E and D, and some C. Whereas a competing organization (be it governmental or industrial) gets A and B almost exclusively, and a big chunk of the C. Now imagine a person who has been given access to information that really, really needs to be classified for the sake of us all. Ask yourself why would that person leak such sensitive information, and you'd know into what hands that information falls when it is leaked.
The FCC-did-it-wrong tone of the post made me expect a speed test. There isn't one. It's just a questionnaire.
But I must concede this survey gets the upper hand against the FCC speed test in two aspects:
It's even later to the party than the FCC test was.
It covers an even smaller portion of the population than the FCC test did.

As a trilogy it would no longer be Independence Day. They would have to rename it to Independence Long Weekend.
Does this apply to calls as well as data?
