Since we're talking about antigravity, I'm more curious if it's possible to use sound as a means of atmospheric propulsion. If the phonons have upward force it might be possible to create an efficient echo chamber that generates lift. That could revolutionize aerospace. I recall research on a 'sonic engine' to power cars, containing echoing sounds "so loud they would start your hair on fire," so there's already been some research done on such vessels.
But this corresponds to a change of 1 degree over 15 kilometers, which would be exceedingly difficult to measure.
If the speed of light was first measured by shining light through a spinning shutter in front of a hole in a box, to a mirror on a tower miles away, I highly doubt that measuring sound over 15 kilometers is beyond the reach of scientists over a century later.
Less than one person in ten would bother doing so, even if it were clearly printed how to do it. They wouldn't understand WHY they should. Having unique default passwords per device (like recent Comcast routers do) is a better idea. That're changeable, of course.
Almost certainly this will be a checklist, like PCI DSS compliance for credit card processors. Just like it is there, it will ensure you have a lock on the door, the window is closed, and a fence is around the perimeter... but does nothing to ensure the fence isn't made from tissue paper or that there isn't a large gap in the wall right next to the door.
<Satire>My fellow Americans, this is why we need to eliminate the threat of Democracy. Once only the properly-educated are allowed to choose our great nation's leaders, will we be safe from the threat of Commie election interference! Do you want spies, illegal aliens, and godless heathens casting your vote for you?! This voting test will ensure that No True American will be ineligible to vote.</Satire>
There's not. IIRC about 15 years back some company (Pizza Hut?) considered engraving their name/logo into the Moon, but it was considered too costly to do so.
It might be an update to optimize all of the textures in order to improve performance. Turns out Skyrim modders figured out that the textures were in an unoptimized format, and were able to make a mod that optimized them, improving performance and reducing file size, while keeping the quality identical. Optimization tends to come at the very end of development, so it's plausible they needed to replace every texture file in the game.
Rovio's way too small to be able to pull this off. Much bigger companies like Google are preparing to roll out the exact same thing, and are better-positioned to succeed. 5G will also make it much faster to download games; I'd much rather download that 200MB game than effectively stream a video of it, if I'm going to be playing it for more than an hour it'll take less data.
I used to have a boss who was in the military. He doled out tasks and gave a specific number of minutes it should take (it always took double that, at least). Most work tasks take an appreciable fraction of an hour to do, thus them being measured in hours, half-hours et cetera, minutes being too precise to use.
Wait until someone does this via moon-bounce. I can see the headline now: "Bitcoin coming from the Moon." Also since this is Lightning network aka off-blockchain, I'm wondering if the ham transmissions work with transaction disputing (which causes the Lightning transactions up to that point to go on-blockchain).
None of that evidence proves that she didn't get a friend to hack into the system, look at the answers, and change her grades for her. Note that other students' grades were also changed; there was likely a "psst, pay me $500 and I'll give you better grades" type of scheme going on here.
If it's her first cheating offense, her completion of the courses in question should be vacated and she should just be forced to redo them. Zero tolerance policies of expulsion on first offense go against the point of education.
You'll just have to intentionally nearly run over a white person, to make yourself an equal-opportunity near-vehicular-manslaughterer. Maybe an Asian, too, just to be safe.

How are you supposed to use Uber or Apple Maps without location tracking?

In space, no one can hear you revolutionize physics.

What's really sad is that the PS4 already supports delta patches.

Indeed, they might try to snuff me out.
You WOULD be first in line, if you didn't forget to change your clocks.
It's a conspiracy by Big Candle to sell more light-production products.
Damn you, Yankee Candle!

I'm voting AGAINST the darkness, and FOR the light! Who's with me?! /s

So plastic #1 is only good for dog #2?

They could likely argue that a free Amazon.com account counts as membership.
Build a wall around Paris and make the tourists pay for it?

Equivocation may be combinable in sentence with definitive statement, amateur grammatist finds.
