I first read that headline as... Smartphone Could IRRADIATE Hardware Partners... Technically, they already do, but I figured some additional orders of magnitude were thrown in with a headline like that!
The problem with pinpointing human origins is we keep digging where 1) human remains are close to the surface, making them easy to dig up, with yearly rains washing away more and more making it even easier, and 2) the conditions for fossilization are highly salient. We very well could have come from environs where fossilization processes are nearly impossible, leaving no trace of our ancestors.
We also like to dig where early humans leave behind stone tools. We don't dig where humans uses wood tools, because they fossilize way less often. It's hard to study what's not left behind! However, it's probable more humans used wood tools earlier and longer.
With the odd sandwich analogy in the book review summary, I couldn't help think of the "give them a sandwich" advice on public speaking from Community.
I "exited" owning my own printer 8 years ago. I print so infrequently, the ink dries up too much between my last use. I have an account at my local printing/mailing/business shop. Even with the price of gasoline for the round trip, it's much cheaper in the long run.
Although in 12 years of programming I don't use math beyond geometry, trig, algebra I, and discrete mathematics -- taking 2 semesters of calculus expanded my consciousness. You see how numbers relate to one another in a whole new way. Learning about the kinds of problems the higher maths are meant to solve is also fascinating.
All of the Halo games were among the most successful entertainment products of all time -- at the time they were released. Most of the physics was handled by a blackbox physics engine they bought from another company. That's why they couldn't fix the jump hacks in Halo 2... the glitch was in the physics engine that spared Bungie needing any advanced math to make great games. It was more economical for them to enjoy their ignorance and let the glitch stand.
A lot of game compamies do this. Just buy the latest Quake/Unreal/Serious engine and get on with your game.
If you insist on using a gym ball for a chair, please be aware you should only sit on it for 30-60 minutes at a time and then switch back to a normal chair. It's actually VERY BAD that at "no moment your muscles will totally relax" and it's ESPECIALLY BAD for your back muscles. Your back muscles need to relax here and there. With frequent gym ball chair use you can start to sit on it longer and more frequently throughout the day. But if you think you are going to sit on it for 6 hours with only a 15 minute break here and there... you are entering a WORLD OF PAIN!
Yes, it's what I want. Big as you can go as long as it still fits in my pocket. If the demand for smaller screens is sufficient, someone will fill in that niche market for them. Stop whining.
When I bought the HTC Evo 4 on launch day, more than one person commented it was too heavy for them. I made a proposition. Suppose there is a second model that is exactly the same in every way except for two main differences: 1) it ways half as much and 2) it costs $30 more. How would you justify spending +$30? What could you do in the real world with the second model that you couldn't do with the first, even after hours of continuous use? Was the extra weight of the first/cheaper model enough to cause plausible physical discomfort?
I wouldn't tolerate it. If a college professor told me he would grade the class like this, I'd ask for my tuition back, preferably directly from his paycheck.
As a long time sufferer of Panic Disorder (which comes with it an oversensitivity to excess CO2), this was the first thing I thought of. My second question is that even though they "lived" this way, were they in a comatose state or hopping around?
The fact that different cultures perceive math and time different was already demonstrated by Australian Aborigines. In an experiment, they showed a set of 2 matchsticks on the left and a set of 1 matchstick on the right. 1 matchstick was then moved from the left set to the right set. When asked to describe the phenomenon, they cited "There are 2 sets of 2, 2 sets of 3, and 1 3-set-making thing."
But counting is not measurement. I can count the number of planets in the solar system. It does nothing to measure (neither absolutely or relatively) their speed, rotation, density, size, distance from one another, etc.
Filmmakers should consider looking at speech accents from other areas of the world to create more interesting dialects.
It's dangerous thinking such as that which lead to the atrocity known as Jar Jar Binks.
In all seriousness, look at the accents of Watto, Yoda, the head honchos of the Trade Federation, Emperor Palpatine, Admiral Ackbar, Jango Fett, etc.

"you can't fly somewhere without one"
You can fly within the United States and to and fro its territories without ID. Yes, even post-9/11.
Banning of lips?? Reminds me of the Footloose spoof called Footless where the whole town sold their feet to the Chinese.

How did Java codenames go from Merlin to Tiger, Mustang, and Dolphin? They also love to drop the "1." from their version numbers.
I worked for a company who marketed their product's successor to "4.0" as "4.A". Not "4.0a". FOUR POINT A!

There were too many Crysis missions where I could just speed boost past half the level.

They need to combine this with the Crocodile Keyboard to minimize mistaps. The patent might get in the way, though.
