Hey don't let facts get in the way of a good liberal rant. If you backup their claims with facts they will look dumb and uneducated. Thus hurt their primary claim that I am liberal because I am smarter then the conservatives.

Infix is more natural when you are writing it down on paper... or in text editor. Calculator only shows one number at a time, and you need to keep the rest of the infix string in your head. With such an unnatural arrangement it is easier to keep track of what's going on and store intermediate results on a stack.
I grew up with an RPN calculator (foreign brand, not HP), and I feel that infix calculators become a nightmare as soon as you have more than two-three operands at a time.
The multiline display of a grapic calculators fixes the infix shortcomings, but this setup comes close to mini personal computer devices. Calculators as technology should have been long dead, yet academic test requirements keep them on perpetual life support.
That's why... He couldn't come up with any other way. So, the reasonable royalty now seems really reasonable.
Yes, it would be (and still is) difficult to not use bits to display characters, since computers are binary, and everything computers do uses bits. This is the reason you cannot go around it, because it is a non-invention.
Car analogy: A patent to implement a computer-controlled suspension amortization that uses bits. (a) Nobody does computer amortization at the moment (to my knowledge), but this time will come; (b) When the time comes, every car sold will pay me $5, because all computers use bits!
I would bet on the firewall only monitoring the internet traffic. Android phones also have GSM radio, which does not fall in the realm of networking, yet is capable of (a) send SMS/MMS and (b) tracked by telco.
Of course the applications would be the ones sending the SMS -- the little elves are mighty expensive nowadays.
True, they blocked the Linux GPS software from using their maps, rendering my netbook with GPS unit useless. I can use OpenStreetMap, but that thing is not mature.
Anchorage has only a few city blocks. If you look at the pictures you generously linked, there are only THREE large buildings, and 100 photos of them from different angled and weather conditions. Even colorful pictures can be misleading.
Please check your facts. Most of the European side of USSR does not have any pre-war buildings left. Not to mention 20 million war casualties and 40 million of the brightest minds executed during Stalin's repressions. True, US was never seriously touched by WW2, but USSR was occupied and bombed all the way to Moscow.
Seeing how every imaginable disaster has hit Japan recently, Godzilla is the only one missing. It will be arriving right after they finally contain the reactor, but before the invasion of Transformers. Any minute now...
Seriously? How about "from nuclear testing in Nevada"? There is no way anything from Chernobyl in any significant quantities could reach 180 degrees around the globe.
My hometown is 200 miles away from Chernobyl, not to mention on the day of the accident the wind was blowing our way. We even got some precipitation from the mushroom cloud that day. Yes, it is scary, but so is living next to a coal power plant. The radiation-poisoning problems we got are probably comparable to what people get while leaving next to the coal "acid rain" plant.
My point is that the planet is dying a little every day, and nuclear is the only cheap, powerful alternative that can be made safer to operate. Unfortunately, people in US associate nuclear power with nuclear weapons and fail to see the benefits. For example, my operations professor, who also works for US army, admitted yesterday in front of the class that he is extremely scared of nuclear power. Looks like Americans can only regain their senses if an earthquake-tsunami combo hits them.
She remained in the plane, pinned down by a catering trolley - effectively a seat belt.
Also, she was found with a colleague's body on top of her (effectively an air-bag cushion).
Also, the part of the plane she was in crashed into trees on its way down - cushioning the fall.
Also, she was found by a trained medic.
Also, according to her statements she apparently always had rather low blood pressure - which prevented her from bleeding out until she was found.
From the same article: "the plane broke up only a few hundred meters above the ground, not the 10,000 metres claimed by the official investigation." Just some commies trying to cover up their military downing one of their own passenger aircraft...
my smartphone will replace my desktop probably around the same time my bicycle gets a V6, power steering, awd, a nice stereo, and can tow a trailer.
A smartphone will replace a desktop sooner than you think. Computing power of the top of the line smartphone is already getting dangerously close to a low-end PC, which ought to be enough for any typical desktop use.
Imagine a smartphone connected to a monitor and a keyboard/mouse. If it can handle your web browser, world processing, spreadsheet and other stuff you regularly use your PC for, do you really care that there is no ATX tower under that desk? Now unplug and put it in your pocket. Better than laptop, eh?
Now on the bicycle analogy:
Your "bicycle" WILL get V6 in a couple of years from now. By that time your SUV(?) will have a V12, but you will only need that much power to pull the trailer: Windows8 + Antivirus. I lost my "trailer" a few years back, meaning my 10 year old V3 hardware is still in perfect shape. "Power steering, a nice stereo," and a 4096 X 2160 windshield will stay external, maybe connecting wirelessly.
I assume 99% of poor people who use the library actually have a shelter and a $200 for a computing device. (and even $400, but 200 should buy enough computing to read a book). Most illegal immigrants I know work for miserable amounts of cash, and those of them who want still have laptops. Credit card is not needed to own a computer.
Those who do not have a shelter probably care very little about library books because their basic needs are not met. See this. Let's say digitize the library and spend the freed up funds to make homeless shelters? I don't think a library should serve both functions.
Computers have no incentive to lie. They toil their short lives for just 12V DC, until they burn out from work, or discarded by an ungrateful owner because it can no longer pull malware-loaded Windows + antivirus. Top Gear, on the other hand, has a show to run, so insincere twists for amusement or cash incentives are readily applied.
Who do you think paid for this circus? Apparently one of Google 's competitors with a strong lobby group, and they don't happen to compete with Facebook. So what potential perpetrators do we have here........-awkward silence-........ Microsoft?
Also, industrial hemp isn't technically banned, even in the US - you can get a permit to grow it (it's just really hard to get one).
Just really, really... hard. It's not even a drug, wtf is it banned? Let's ban everything inconvenient for lobby groups under the excuse that "it can be used to grow pot", your home and lawn included. Hell, even you can be used to grow pot!
...produces nuclear fusion energy at a safe distance then transmits it to us wirelessly, via short-wave visible band; all of it for free!
In theory this sounds great, but concentrate that energy by a gigantic orbital prism for ease of harvesting, no less, and you got yourself a perfect weapon.
This leads us to Shompol's Theorem #1: with great energy comes great responsibility.
Take ANY energy source and with it you get the potential for an equal magnitude disaster. That being said nuclear reactors don't have to be Fukushima-size monstrosities. You can have a closet-sized reactor that would be much easier to contain/dispose in case of problem. In fact, there is one in the middle of Boston, and nobody complained about it yet.
I live at a hospital residence building, and have access to the hospital intranet as well as subscribe to Time Warner Cable, the 15 mbps package. The Cable is measured by an online speed test to be about 13 mbps download. The same test measured hospital internet to be 7 mbps down....
most of the 3rd party websites load much faster on the hospital network. How could this be? Is it possible Time Warner excludes known speed tests from throttling? I need to put them side by side and do some tests with a stopwatch, but I don't like Time Warner already.

Chernobyl may have been responsible for the rise in thyroid cancer in the US. Note that we were lied to during that crisis to preserve profit. Is it any wonder that we assume that our government is lying to us about the danger now?
Seriously? How about "from nuclear testing in Nevada"? There is no way anything from Chernobyl in any significant quantities could reach 180 degrees around the globe.
How about 2-fold asthma death increase over 10 year span and other diseases caused by air pollution, that could be almost eliminated by nuclear/electric power?
