In a situation where a Alice shot Bob but says that Bob threatened Alice first (and thus it was self defence), there would actually be 2 questions. Question A is "Is Alice guilty of murder" and question B is "Is Bob guilty of assault (the legal term for a threat against your life)". If there is not enough evidence in either direction, the court CAN actually declare them both "not guilty". This is because North American courts cannot actually declare someone "innocent" (we believe you didn't commit the crime), only "guilty" (We believe you committed the crime) and "not guilty" (We don't believe you committed the crime). There is a significant difference between believing (being convinced) someone didn't do something and not believing (not being convinced) they did it.
Apple offers a UC system that is easier to install and configure than other UC systems. That's what "just works" means. It doesn't mean that if you turn a UC system on, don't bother to turn it off that it will magically know you don't want it anymore which is what the Android people suppose it should do. This would be like an article being critical of gmail for not disabling email when you sell your computer.
How is that the same? Gmail isn't affecting the working status of your other email accounts. iMessage likes to "take over" your text messages. If Apple wants to fuck with the SMS system offered by another company (your service provider), they need to make DAMN sure they don't break it in the process.
My shoes were by far the first knot I ever learned to tie. I then became very good at tying knots in scouts (I can tie a bowline around my waist with 1 hand). It wasn't until I watched the video that I actually bothered to look at the knot I'd been tying everyday from muscle memory and realized it was a granny knot. The instant I actually looked at the knot on my shoe I knew it was wrong, I just never looked at the damn thing for 20+ years!
The summary was a little confusing. When they said "wound the clock back", I thought they were talking about re-implementing the same mutations and expecting a different result, not animals conforming to similar situations via different mutations.
Ok, I think I get it now. So they're not saying we probably wouldn't end up with animals that look like they do today, but that we would likely end up with the same looking animals with different DNA than we have now. That actually makes a lot more sense.
If I'm reading this wrong, and I hope I am, please let me know.
...researchers have found that although groups of the bug have evolved similar appearances, they achieved that mostly via different changes in their DNA. 'I think it says that repeatability of evolution is very low...
I read this as "Stick bugs have reached similar appearances through different means thus the same change probably won't make the same result".
Is this equivalent to "People can change their appearance to include a hole in the abdomen through different means (bullets and knives). Thus shooting or stabbing people are unlikely to produce holes in people"?
It may make it more difficult to guess which DNA change caused them to look like that (without an actual DNA test), but it in no way implies that those DNA changes won't necessarily cause them to look like that.
I am in no way defending Apple for their incompetence when screwing with something as simple as text messaging. I was just answering a very simple question.
Here's the general (paraphrased) statistics from the article:
Percentage of degrees that year being "Computer Science"
1981: 2.2%
1985: 4.4% (noted as a peak)
2002 4.42% (noted as a peak)
2011: 2.76%
Number of graduates in a particular field during 2011:
Computer Science: 47K degrees
included Art & Performance: 96K
Communications and Journalism: 83K
psychology: 101K
The article make no mention of how many different "categories" of degrees there are, so a percentage means absolutely nothing. The article also compares the number of "Computer Science" graduates (a very specialized field) to categories like "Communication and Journalism" which include everything from newspaper reporters and tv anchors to video streaming technicians and cameramen.
These statistics actually look pretty good when you consider how many bullshit degrees are awarded in the "Art and Performance" department. Maybe we should start pushing out graduates in flash animation to try and bolster our numbers so these reporters will be impressed.
Yes, but you aren't spending that time at a gas station. You can recharge them at home, at work, at school, at your friend's house, and even at many tourist destinations.
I'd assume this wouldn't only be US made networking gear. It probably also includes networking gear that is made elsewhere, shipped to the US and then re-sold and exported to its final destination (as is the case with most US products). If you order a Linksys, D-Link or Netgear router, it may be manufactured in China/Taiwan/Japan, but it almost certainly passed through the US before making it to their Canadian, Mexican, European, etc customers.
I'm from western Canada. But I believe our college curriculum's (aside from us not having both a major and minor) are fairly similar to US university degrees.
My issue is that you could say the same thing about an astronomy, chemistry, cooking or architecture class and make the same argument. Yes, learning interesting things is good and makes you a more well-rounded person (usually). It still doesn't make having us take the class in the first place any more sensible. I (and most of my class) would have much rather taken a liberal arts class that at least stood a chance of being useful (or at the very least interesting) such as a historical look into the past of procedural mathematics. At least we would have known what the hell we were talking about!

Nowadays its hard to find a carrier that doesn't give you both unlimited.
I agree with the rest of what you said, but Canada would like to debate you on that last one.
Or you post using a machine on the same subnet as the server. It's 11:00, do you know where your VPNs are?
We may never know that there isn't, but we very well could know that there is.
To be fair, sandals didn't have laces for his supposed first time around.

How shoelaces work to keep our shoes on our feet
Ted already did that one.
The summary was a little confusing. When they said "wound the clock back", I thought they were talking about re-implementing the same mutations and expecting a different result, not animals conforming to similar situations via different mutations.
So they are saying the path (mutations) may be different even if we got the same result. Makes much more sense.
Ok, I think I get it now. So they're not saying we probably wouldn't end up with animals that look like they do today, but that we would likely end up with the same looking animals with different DNA than we have now. That actually makes a lot more sense.

Then you do it with the new sim card you got for your new phone?
Electricity has this neat property where it tends to be readily available at most driving destinations.

If you do it right, you should be able to reclaim a decent amount of that energy used to compress it when the tank is decompressing.
Yes, but you aren't spending that time at a gas station. You can recharge them at home, at work, at school, at your friend's house, and even at many tourist destinations.
Are those numbers taking into account the ability to at least partially recharge your batteries at the secondary location (work, school, etc)?
Before or after all the efficiency lost to the transmission, alternator, lack of regen braking, etc?
Hmm, I wonder if that's why youtube-viewer only seems to be able to stream 720p and lower resolutions.

And Canada.
If that's all it took to get those speeds, I'd already have 3 dishes and half a dozen antennas.
