I feel IMHO should be banned on any game targeting an audience below 12 years old. At the very least in-app purchases above a certain amount or accumulated amount should require external authentication, to prevent this exact scenario.
As for the 'in-app purchase are evil' subject, it is because you'll frequently get a free app and then find it goes on to nickel-and-dime the whole experience. What is the real price of a free app with in-app purchasing? Here we saw it was potentially well above $5000. At that price $60 console games look cheap.
The Challenger disaster was to trying to rush a launch in conditions that weren't suited for it. The rush if I remember as for the presidential speech and the failure was the o-rings failing in sub-zero temperatures. Then the investigation was marred by cover up and lack of transparency. It took an outsider, who wasn't afraid to upset, in the form of Richard Feynman to make the point on the rubber issue, based on a tip-off.
One of the main issues that has impacted NASA in the past in complacency, when it comes to speaking up.
I imagine that while you are only travelling within your own state, on inner state infrastructure there should be no need to respect these requirements? The issue is when you cross state lines, since you need the other state to trust the credentials of your state. This is where the federal identification comes into play, since instead of having to negotiate with the other states for standards of 'trust', they only need to do so with the federal government, for which this standard has been delegated to.
In the end you are gaining freedom of interstate travel, while forfeiting anonymity in the course of doing so. It is a shame, but with paranoid authorities feeding off recent events, it is not surprising it came to this.
So the defendant made how many million copies and made them available to dev null? Could you please explain who is receiving these copies and how a loss is being made?
I don't believe in the case of rotation left and right really are the correct descriptions, since the bottom could be rotating left, so the top is rotating right, correspondingly. Clockwise and anti-clockwise (using western definition) make more sense, IMHO.
As others have noted, what he is suggesting is a little self-serving, but anything that helps progress the technology and reduce the cost is a good thing IMHO. The making available the patents of the super-chargers, for example, is a benefit to him, since it helps increase needed infrastructure, which Tesla can benefit from, but also benefits everyone else, since they have one less argument against the electric car.
The next two places that the research money needs to be spent, IMHO, is simplifying the electric engine, to reduce parts, and solving the post-life problem. For example, while the batteries can be used for homes after their life in a car, there is still an issue of what to go with them afterwards. While the electric car reduces emissions during its use, we still need to solve the environmental impact involved, from digging up the raw materials to doing something with them after the cars's life.
Super capacitors that are reliable and affordable are still a holy grail from what I understand. The promise being fast charge time and high capacity. Actually that high-capacity thing is also a challenge, since you don't want millions of volts all discharging in one shot, due to failure or accident.
I am probably over-reacting, but this does seem to be a little over the top? What next CES 2017, where only Hamish approved technology is permitted or lithium free access?
In the UK you can be pulled-over if you are driving in the middle lane and there is no one in the outer lane (left-lane in UK, right-lane in US). In France there are special outer-lanes, which are clearly marked for people intending to drive for a single exit, so here the 'middle' lane is permitted for longer distance drives. I am wondering whether we could get a hybrid solution?
Road awareness campaigns would work too.
BTW the rules for these cars should be keep to the speed limit, but observe the traffic flow and adapt. Anything else is considered dangerous. The law enforcers hopefully are smart enough to realise this is the safe thing to do, especially when safety distances are being respected.
I can understand people wanting to put appearance before functionality. While a solar farm is a great resource, if it has a negative impact on people, then it needs to be rethought. It is not unlike someone getting upset because a 24 story high-rise is going to be blocking their view of the sea. One possible solution is simply to use existing roofs to install the solar panels?
I should probably mention as well, that the tax revenue from the firearms industry is another reason for congress not wanting to change the rules. See: http://www.nssf.org/impact/
You do realise that this sort of law making is typically done by congress. Sure he could use presidential powers, but that is a tool that is meant to be used only in extreme situations and with care. He may pull the rabbit out of the hat before the end of his term, but with a congress bent over finding reasons to block him or indict him, he needs to choose his timing. Heck, congress could should some responsibility as well, but at the moment this is not the case, from what I have seen.
Or Thunderbird 2 for that matter. Of course the model makers didn't need to produce something that would actually fly.
Certainly, but in the case of Thunderbird 2, it could fly withthout the cargo section. I am not sure the Airbus concept allow for that? The other thing the diagrams don't seem to deal with is the cargo, which would seem to use a conventional approach. If so, in the current form, I don't seem much benefit to the existing method. It just ends up adding weight.
IMHO, the problem starts in school. As an example: you do a chemistry experiment, get some weird results, which aren't the ones you should have been getting, now you have two options, which are either to write up and conclude what you observed or bullshit and write up what was expected, as if it had worked. The first risks getting you low marks, while the second top marks. What do you think most people under pressure to perform would do?
The way I would like to see things done: you write things up as you observed, but add an in the conclusion an analysis of why you think your results varied from expected results. For example, did you put in too much of substance A or substance B, and why would that impacted things. It may put extra work on the teachers, but if we want students who can think and not cover up their tracks, then this may be worth it. A healthy workplace depends on this.
Even with the price coming down, have SSDs managed the same write cycle count as HDDs? I am asking, since I was last recommended to keep with HDDs for jobs which required a lot of disk writes. Has this changed?
While they're at it, maybe they can put the buttons and menus back in the most ergonomic, common sense position -- where they were in 2005 before "change for the sake of change" became king.
I would add starting to show full URLs again in the address field, as well.
You aren't going to anything amazing of the Pi, but if your expectations are low (in terms of performance) and your budget even smaller, then it will do the job.
This suggests that they rejected the notion of a country because they didn't agree with the borders, but as you indicated the issue is a bit more complicated than that, given the local geopolitics, both internal and external.
Why can't we just make Palestine an independent state and be done with it. While you have a group of people who feel like they are living in apartheid, feeling that another group of people doesn't care about their rights or 'assigned' territories how are things going to improve.
I know the mess down there is a complicated one, but it really feels like there should be Israel, Palestine and the 'Multi-faith Holy City of Jerusalem'?
When it comes to religion, I don't really care either way, but most belief systems do indicate some level of 'treating your neighbour with respect', which I don't see much of at the political level in that area. Will it ever happen? I just see a lot of frustrated people, not trusting what moves the other ruling entity will do next.

Taxes are always used by the Republicans as a weapon against the working poor.
But never understood why the poor vote for them?

Is it the electrodes that decay or the charge storage compound (not sure the right term)?

One other thing, would putting an SSD into an external enclosure, connected via USB3, still outperform an HDD in the same enclosure?
Even with the price coming down, have SSDs managed the same write cycle count as HDDs? I am asking, since I was last recommended to keep with HDDs for jobs which required a lot of disk writes. Has this changed?
Well, maybe the first step would be to simplify the code base and the build process?

A few corrections:
- Java does run on the Pi: http://www.oracle.com/technetw...
- StarOffice, in the form of LibreOffice does too: http://store.raspberrypi.com/p...
You aren't going to anything amazing of the Pi, but if your expectations are low (in terms of performance) and your budget even smaller, then it will do the job.
I had never heard that the Palestinians had rejected statehood, since current actions suggest the opposite. A quick search turned up this link:
http://classroom.synonym.com/d...
This suggests that they rejected the notion of a country because they didn't agree with the borders, but as you indicated the issue is a bit more complicated than that, given the local geopolitics, both internal and external.
