When the russians copied our b-29 superfortress to make the Tu-4, they made perfect copy. However, they also gained enough understanding that they based a whole line of aircraft on the tu-4.
That being said, IT infrastructure needs to expand and accommodate smart phones, both in the commercial and military world. You can only say NO for so long before everyone starts hearing "640K should be enough for anybody".
energy stored (and accounted for as mass) goes to heat, as soon as your ebook reader cools down, the added "mass" is dissipated as entropy.
You're saying that because you can calculate the wavelength of a mac truck barreling down the highway, that it should behave as a wave when meeting an oncoming "wave" that is barreling down the highway. Which it doesn't, thus disproving a photon's behavior as a particle on the quantum scale.
Thus successful "troll" (attempt at humor) is successful and this reply is WOOOSHed...
You don't think that microsoft is actually going to use the skype brand in office? No! They already have an IM/voice suite previously known as office communicator, now Lync. What microsoft is going to do is continue to produce Skype skinned IM clients for the masses (powered by Lync), while gutting the IP and integrating skype's P2P voice pathing (and other goodness) in its own products.
Twitter's capabilities (follow, retweet, etc) have all been copied and become a subset of the features available on just about any collaboration suite (Facebook, google+). I've even seen it hacked into microsoft sharepoint. Why is the ability to publish a small message constantly defined as being separate from the standard features of most social sites? Just because they were first doesn't mean that we need to keep mentioning them. It's like being unable to not mention ford whenever an assembly line is brought up.
TL:DR: Twitter has become a subset of the modern web, quit mentioning it unless you are referring to microblogging or Twitter (with a capital T).
How is this different from those glowing Chineese pigs or those neon tetras with unnatural colors that are illegal in California?
Those involved taking a gene that created a naturally created protein using naturally occurring amino acids and then injected them, frankenstein style into another animal. These take an artificially modified gene that uses an artificial amino acid to create worms that glow. Did you read TFS?
I've not followed what has happened with previous id releases.
What have people done with them?
Mostly ported them to linux. Although there have been total conversions, such as tremulous, world of padman, and urban terror. I'm not aware of any non-game uses like medical imaging, 3d printer "print previews" or anything like that.
If you're worried about long term reliability, try a raid-1 array of a spinning drive mirrored against an SSD. Make monthly backups to optical. That way, if your SSD fails, you still have two other options. This would probably be the most affordable method us mere mortals could have to hope to store long term data with a pretty good reliability. Unless you can get your hands on a second hand tape drive and some 500g tapes.
Everyone knows that pirates have an inverse effect on global temperature! If there are pirates in the area, then the data will be skewed. No wonder those scientists want those pirates gone.
I think that fee shifting should automatically be a part of any civil case. During the settlement, dismissal, or awarding process, the judge should be required to ask both sides if the bringer of the suit should pay legal fees, or a percentage of. As it stands, when you sue, most of the time you have nothing to lose and everything to gain if you get the right lawyer. Change that, break the cycle, and sanity might have a fighting chance.
I thought streetlights had solar sensors. I came to this conclusion when, near the ocean, i saw a particularly crap encrusted streetlight that was always on, regardless off how bright the sun was.
How many people pop right up at 0'dark thirty in the morning and start getting ready for school/work/drinking without any signal? Yeah, me neither. The alarm clock allowed for the suburbs by letting employees not have to cluster around public alarm clocks (church bells, factory whistles, etc). If my alarm clock is late, I'm late, if it's early, i lose precious moments in bed (not as bad as the first case, but still irksome).
I hope this gets swatted down on behalf of every person who has to wake up before dawn and doesn't rely on their cell phone to wake them up.
Besides, my Mr. Coffee machine is PFM (Pure effin magic) in that it has a warm, freshly brewed carafe of joe waiting for me every morning, if this grid experiment screws that up, I might just go on a pre-coffee shooting rampage.
It seems like every 5-10 years or new development points to wearable electronics. First, transistors, then microchips, a decade or so ago, it was small lithium batteries, now? compact wireless. Of course i didn't RTFM, but we've been "wearing" our electronics for years. Carrying cell phones has been the status quo for a decade, walkmans/diskmans for longer. Yes, we carry more electronics every day, but I still wear a timex ironman which has the same functionality as the timex ironman I got in 1994 (indiglo FTW!). However, I doubt that people will consent to wearing t-shirts that monitor heart rate, undies that take/analyze stool/urine samples, and shoes that measure stress as long as you can get cheap clothes that look good and are comfortable. Also, the average person can, you know, feel what's going on with themselves and if they're the kind of person who would buy a watch to monitor heart rate, they can take their pulse by hand and will. How many people do you know regularly check their pulse? Especially when not exercising?
Wearable electronics are in direct competition with simple sensors that feed into your smartphone. Integrate the electronics into a garment and you only get to wear it once a week (more if you're grody) or however often you do laundry. Watches do lots, but people like not having to recharge or change batteries more than once a year.
unfortunately, without another phone already in the pipeline, developers aren't going to flock to this device. It's a chicken and egg thing, the iphone was really the only platform to have customers without apps, and nowadays, you don't have app developers without customers.
The problem is the N950 will only be available to a select few developers, and will have zero warranty or support. Still, if you can get your hands on one it'd make for a fantastic N900 replacement.
This.
After seeing what nokia had done with w7, i lost faith. After seeing the lack of keyboard on the n9, I bought an atrix. While i'd like to see maemo/meebo take off, and i dearly loved my n900, I'll be keeping my atrix as having a rooted webtop environment and a walled garden phone makes due for me.
I would like to review Anonymous Coward's review of the above movie review. It was well put together, but had line breaks at odd points. I wasn't expecting much from this review of the movie review, but this review of a review came through and delivered the critique I have come to expect from ACs here at/.

Hooray! Percival Lowell was right! These were canals created by an advanced martian civilization!!! Life? PROVEN!!!

Imagine minecraft with an in game coding interface. It would get pretty crazy really quick.
Yes
ever
If you're planning to commit a crime, make sure nobody takes a smartphone pic of you.

As opposed to... monohedral?
polygonal?
