As for advertising, the only thing promoting his company, Freetronics, is the small logo on his shirt and a quick question from the interviewer about the availability of hardware to which Jon said "yes". The rest is about the tech and advancing open-source hardware and software in the satellite space.
You are judging without watching? Unless you regard every story about a project as "advertising".
I refuse to install the latest update to Facebook's Android app because it wants to know what apps are running and wants to be able to make phone calls without my input. Both are completely unnecessary to me. I am getting very close to uninstalling the app from all my devices.
First, I'll give the app a bad rating, wait a few weeks and then uninstall. This way I can pretend that I have some say in the way the app works.
The Swedish prosecutors *are* able to question Assange on UK soil. Look under "Marianne Ny’s misleading statements about legality of questioning abroad" on http://justice4assange.com/Prosecution.html . Her statements about the suposed illegality of questioning abroad have been redacted.
Looking at the stated figures for battery volume, the increase in range is "by up to 200%" NOT "by 300%" as the title states.
The correct use of the 300% figure would be "increase range to 300% of current range". An increase of range by 300% would mean the range would be 400% of the original range.
It may seem like a little difference between the words "by" and "to", but misuse of words and percentages occurs far too much to exaggerate things that do not need exaggerating.
Is this coincidence that the same 2 ISPs just made significant deals with government to further the NBN? Sounds like a condition of the deal to me, and the government gets to keep their hands clean.
Sorry, but backbreaking work in the fields is not seen as progress by any developing or developed country. If farming with modern techniques is an evil, it's still preferable to mankind having to do more work for less benefit. Much of my family right now is dealing with unemployment, but there are certain jobs they will not stoop to because it contradicts everything that was promised about life in today's high-tech world getting steadily more leisurely.
This is fundamental to the problems of "developed" nations. Food is essential to our lives, and people who grow and harvest food should be regarded as champions, and held in high regard for looking after (working with) the land that we rely upon. We who live in cities (most of the "civilised" population) are disconnected with the earth we depend on; we are surrounded by a man-made world that disrespects the mother that nurtures us, and promotes concepts that feed racketeers with money. Most people in these cities break their backs or psyche doing "work" that is in no way directly relevant to fostering quality life.
We should be living a lot closer to our food growing areas. Look at Cuba and its inspirational urban gardening structure.
These measurements may also highlight a cultural difference between people who use distance/fuel (MPG) and fuel/distance (l/100km), besides the use of imperial versus metric systems.
"I have access to fuel. How far can I go?" versus "I need to travel somewhere. How much fuel do I need?"
In other words: "use what we have" versus "use what we need".
The suggestion in summary about financial data is, as Australian's might say, a "Furphy".
Sensitive data like your bank transactions are not protected through copyright, but trust arrangements/contract between parties, and privacy laws.
Financial data information, such as public company profit and loss statements would surely be reproducible without copyright constraints. Then again accountants have been known to be creative
Texas is a huge purchaser of textbooks and the standards they set influence what the publishers are willing to print. They publish books in order to placate Texas and the rest of the country are stuck with them.
Supply and demand at its best. "Free market" capitalism is providing your truth.
Oh come on. I don't even have a computer that can pick up stuff in my room
and organize it without prior input, and nobody does, and that would not be
close to a general AI when it happens.
How many Nobel Laureates do you know pick up stuff in their room?

Come on! We are beyond 1984 now. Try something new.

Get ready to hear some bitching about Dart on this thread, then review your assumption.
