But as well as this, there needs to be a bigger effort made to have automatic defibrillators widely available. They're relatively reliable and easy to use yet I've only ever seen them once (in a shopping mall). Drones aren't going to be all that much help indoors without huge improvements in machine vision and navigation, but all the same they might well prove to be a godsend for people in isolated areas.*
*In my experience, large public gatherings held outdoors nearly always have at least one ambulance present.
On the MBP the battery is under the trackpad, so that's the first thing to go if the battery starts bulging (you might find that clicks don't register when you press down on the pad).
I can't speak for all of the models but I think the logic board is usually, if not always, near the hinge side and the battery is front-right with the HDD front-left. This would make sense since the vent for the CPU fan is in the hinge.
Removing control panels isn't MS's style. If past experience is anything to go by, the same ones that were in 98/NT will still be there in 10, they'll just be buried under yet another layer of new stuff. Seriously, try find network adaptor settings in 7. After you've navigated through the morass of the network and sharing centre you'll see that it's practically the self same advanced dialog that was there in 95.
Personally, I'm not averse to change but it's well past time MS just started over again instead of tacking on useless, obfuscating fluff over the top of controls that I actually need to get use.
The trouble with shorthand is that it takes a lot of effort to learn, and there are quite a few ambiguities that tend to creep up when you're omitting most of the vowels. Deciphering what someone else has written often relies on context, and machines still don't do too well at that.
Inputting in shorthand does seem a neat idea, but the likes of Swiftkey have made it even less likely to appear.
When nationalistic Americans brag about our Bill or Rights, I wonder which version they're excited about: the version one gets from a plain reading of its text, or the twisted monstrosity that the three branches of government have foisted upon us.
I think it's the one that exists only in their heads.
Lets not forget the gov't research labs -- it would be nice if the U.S. gov't didn't shut down such research to appease an ill-informed political interest group.
You're a bit behind the times there chum. These days weekend binge drinking is the very epitome of fashion.
We as a nation are rightly proud that we've moved on from the times of lonely old men nursing pints of silty beer in tobacco stained pubs to a bright, new future of dynamic, young (allegedly) women clutching their high heels in one hand and a bottle of WKD in the other while their doting beau gallantly holds their hair aside as they're sick into a policeman's hat.
Contact one of the big class action lawsuit attorneys. if you can convince them that 10K customers or more are being cheated for more than $100 per year, over a period of years, they will be glad to work for a percent.
And, if past experience is any indication, that will be somewhere near 99%. When was the last time you heard of a class action getting the complainants anything near full restitution?
Speed limits are in space are a lot like the top speed on the speedo in my old Mini: it clearly says ninety and you can just about reach it... on an incline... with a favourable tail wind... and no passengers... or seats... but you can't go any faster without some serious re-jigging of the laws o' physics.
A less drastic, but equally annoying solution might be to just turn it off for a month. See what they bill you then.
"It was turned off" is a lot more likely to persuade a small claims court to your side than "I was overcharged by 14%, and here are the dozen esoteric ways I can prove it".
Have you Americans *still* not gotten over this whole Marxist/Communist/Socialist = EVIL thing yet?
Why would they? From what I've seen there are a great number of them that don't even understand their own nation's founding principles; I can't count the number of times I've heard/read people complain about private entities not abiding by the first amendment. Getting over a smear campaign against the red/yellow terror from decades ago is likely one of the least of their worries.
Back then the short cut they took probably saved them weeks in rendering time, and as you say, came out looking realistic.
Why is that? There's no reason that I can think of why one couldn't just decide how the creatures would flock using simple stick figures then add the rest of the models later.
In any case, we're in no position to judge how accurately a film recreated the behaviours of creatures that haven't been found in the wild for millions of years. Certainly we can infer a lot based on what we can observe in their distant descendants but it's still one of those things that takes some dramatic license (just like Lego genetics and the noise that a roaring T-Rex makes).
They're offering me discounts on stuff I probably don't need if I make it easier for people to try and sell me shit I don't want? Anonymised? Pull the other one.

Thinking of actual gold-colored blood, I was expecting a human/arachnid hybrid. A spider-man, if you will.
Odd, I just thought they were Swiss.

It still works if you post anonymously.
Oh, shit.
I would have thought that all the spies would want Number 6.

Truly, this a golden age.
The wheel is pretty old; I don't think I'd want to give up that.
Virtual Rome wasn't built in a day, you now.

Actually ignore that. In my naiveté I expected them to be transparent about the PPP stuff.
I wouldn't have a problem with paying for that... if they were honest about it.

As a queer, I find that offensive.
Not Morgan Freeman, Gordon Freeman. We are talking particle physics here.
Yes, but Gordon Freeman would be a terrible narrator (unless you can tune in to his inner monologue).
Why stop at power?
They'll have to claim the fix the games to make them interesting, and that it's performance art and not competition perhaps.
Of course it is. Just look at the way some of them fall over; sometimes it borders on interpretive dance.
Birds don't run, they fly.
Meep-meep?
