Or, it'll be transported via ship overseas, which can result in an even larger catastrophe. I agree, he dropped the ball on this one. The oil is going to be mined, it will be sold, and it will be refined - the only question is where. The carbon will enter the atmosphere, except now it'll be accompanied by the additional carbon required to ship the oil the refinery in a much less efficient manner. I can only surmise that the decision was based entirely on politics and not on common sense.
Really what they need to probably start doing is just charge per GB, same as the electric company charges per kWH. Forget about plans, caps, and limits.
This is a big problem with our congress. They continually try to attach riders and provisions to bills that cannot pass by themselves, usually completely unrelated to the legislation that it's being attached to. This should be considered abuse of power. If a provision cannot pass by its own merits it should not be able to be attached to another unrelated bill. And also the name of the bill should accurately and succinctly reflect the contents of the legislation, rather than "Make America Strong" or "Restore Our Honor" bills or something similar that do nothing to explain what the bill does, only attempts to cast it in a favorable light (like advertising).
I believe the year long data dump is from the New Horizons spacecraft which passed by Pluto recently. The one that is currently orbiting Saturn and that visited Enceledus and will transmit over several days is the Cassini probe and is much closer to Earth.
Maybe there is one already, but if there isn't someone needs to start a company that performs this service but destroys the sample and the DNA data afterwards, providing you with only the ancestry and relational data that you originally asked for. And probably not even retaining a copy of that. Problem solved, and they could market themselves as having assured privacy.
I'm pretty sure there are not enough people left that have grandfathered unlimited data plans to generate any type of public outcry. It's funny, I had grandfathered unlimited data up until about 2 weeks ago (got it when I got my Galaxy S3, 3+ years ago). My average usage was between 1 and 2 GB per month. I finally bit the bullet and went in and got a Galaxy S6, because it was really kind of stupid to keep paying my old contract price which subsidized the phone after all this time. I got a 3 GB per month package, no contract, and Samsung is picking up the phone payments for the rest of 2015. It's really not such a bad deal. However giving up that unlimited data felt like giving up a part of my body... even though I didn't use it.
Relevant Mobile Advertising
AOL is now part of Verizon, and we will soon combine Verizon's Relevant Mobile Advertising program into the AOL Advertising Network. These programs use certain customer information to help make the ads you see more interesting and useful.
The Relevant Mobile Advertising program uses your postal and email addresses, certain information about your Verizon products and services (such as device type), and information we get from other companies (such as gender, age range, and interests). The AOL Advertising Network uses information collected when you use AOL Services and visit third-party websites where AOL provides advertising services (such as web browsing, app usage, and location), as well as information that AOL obtains from third-party partners and advertisers.
We do not share information that identifies you personally as part of these programs other than with vendors and partners who do work for us. We require that these vendors and partners protect the information and use it only for the services they are providing us.
These programs use online and device identifiers, including AOL browser cookies, ad IDs from Apple and Google, and one created by Verizon, known as a Unique Identifier Header (or UIDH). When the Verizon and AOL programs are combined, the UIDH will be inserted in certain web traffic that is sent only to Verizon companies (including AOL) and to certain partners who will be authorized to use the UIDH only as part of Verizon and AOL services. More information is available about the Relevant Mobile Advertising program and the UIDH.
You have a choice about whether to participate in the Relevant Mobile Advertising program. The UIDH discussed above will stop being inserted in web traffic from your device after you opt out of the Relevant Mobile Advertising program, but will still appear for a short period of time after you opt out. Please note that if you opt-out of Relevant Mobile Advertising, but you have opted in to Verizon Selects, you will continue to receive relevant advertising and the UIDH will remain present.
You also have choices about how AOL uses information for advertising purposes.
And probably never. In addition to the reasons that may have already been mentioned, FTTH provides a non-shared path to each house, while any wireless technology is almost by definition going to be shared by many people. I've seen some people talk about using multiple frequencies or modulation schemes to squeeze more bits out of wireless, but there is no reason the same things would not apply to fiber as well. Not to mention things like weather, interference, etc. Wireless might provide some type of stopgap or interim solution, but the end game is going to be fiber to each home.
Yep. I have a Galaxy S3 and unlimited data and pay $68 per month (that includes a discount because I'm employed at a company that is a Verizon customer). I really would love to find a way to get a new phone and keep the unlimited data, but I don't think that's possible. I don't think they'll even let you buy a phone outright anymore and keep your unlimited. The funny thing is I use about 2 GB per month on average, so it's not even a big deal to me - just the principle of the matter.
The title implies that the floating point value becomes corrupt. Without looking into it, it sounds like the value does not become corrupt but rather is just not output correctly. The underlying value is still intact.
Things like this are used a lot in telecommunications, they allow multiple wavelengths of light to travel over a single fiber, cutting down on the amount of glass needed and increasing the bandwidth.
It has a removable battery and SD slot. Unless the camera is complete crap (and I'll bet it's not), this is likely my next phone. My old Samsung S3 is getting long in the tooth.
Agree. This is April Fools day, and this isn't going to fool anyone. It's just stupid. I think the spirit of April Fools Day is to try to come up with something that is believable enough that you can get people to believe it, at least for a short time. It's not a lying contest.
I had my water heater replaced in my house two years ago. The guy installing it told me point blank "don't expect this one to last as long as the last one did."

If they don't notice for two weeks that their site is down, I'm not sure they should be wasting their money on either option.

Well, since one of the things it does is wipe the local System Restore Point, I'm guessing Windows.

They just have to be patched.
Wrong attitude about security, Patchy Patcherson.
Fine. In base 2, the new revision is 10x the bandwidth.
