Because the recent history of Islamic terror attacks in Europe have a significant contribution from a single district in Brussels (which for any of you challenged by world geography is in Belgium). In particular they seem to be the goto place to get weapons, including rocket launchers.
You can do TapJoy on the Google Play, but you would have to spend a *LOT* of time to accumulate even a moderate amount of in game currency. So much that it is not worth the effort unless you are really poor and have insane amounts of free time on your hands.
Therefore you mostly fork out real $$$ for the in game currency. Though you can do a lot completely free to play as well (as I do, not spent a penny).
Interesting, because the mobile game I play "Castle Clash" which is available for just about every platform under the sun lags behind on iOS compared to Android, by a considerable amount. It can be weeks before updates to the game make it to iOS. On the other hand Amazon which has a smaller user base than iOS gets the updates much faster, usually only a day or two behind Google Play, and sometimes even in advance.
Could it be that the developers just develop on whatever platform they are comfortable with, whether that be iOS or Android and might simply not have the wherewithal to develop for the alternative platform.
No they are not. They may well have many years of data to show that they never get say above 50% of the maximum throughput all of their customers could achieve.
The whole fucking world runs on the principle of statistical mechanics you dip shit. Is Walmart engaging in deceptive practices if it cannot accommodate all it's customers arriving at the store at the same time?
The air liquification stage has been tested in full prototype and passed all test by independent external observers. I believe this included the European Space Agency and the USAF.
That is using liquid hydrogen to liquefy air in a fraction of a second to be feed into the rocket engine in sufficient quantities for it to be useful. The £120 million that has been announced is to build a full functional prototype Sabre engine. That is a pretty modest sum of money for "rocket" engine that would make all other space launch systems obsolete overnight. Even SpaceX's reusable rockets which they have still to land one would be dead in the water.
Thing is an autonomous car is not limited to the narrow visible light range of the EM spectrum that we humans are. Just because you can't see in fog does not mean the autonomous car is unable to see.
Not that I have any special knowledge of the sensors being used by Google et. al. but if they are restricting themselves to the visible spectrum then they are pretty stupid. At a bare minimum I would be using infra-red as well, probably thermal and UV for good measure.
I would also expect them to be listening to the environment as well, as it is essential for knowing there is an emergency vehicle in your vicinity.
You need food grade plastics to print items that are going to be used in the preparation and consumption of food. As far as I am aware there is no such thing as a food grade ABS plastic. You can purchase food grade PLA for 3D printing however.
All of them is the short answer. I have at work a myriad of browser version to deal with embedded management devices that no longer work with modern browsers. The latest is that my 3.5 year old Dell C6100's all still under maintenance won't work with either Chrome or Firefox (shitty SHA1 only it appears), and there is no update from Dell. I also have a range of Sun/Oracle kit again still all under maintenance, and again all does not work. The Sun/Oracle kit is the biggest joke as I have to maintain random old versions of Java to use the ILOM because it doesn't work with
There should be some dam option to let me say everything on network X.X.X.X/X (aka my totally private physically separate management network) just use whatever out of date shit they want, don't complain about duplicate certificates or anything else either.
Because the moment you decide to put a low power home server (say a sub 20W mini-ITX device) on your internet connection always on access to all your email becomes trivial that why not?
The combination of dovecot, fetchmail, roundcube and z-push running on top of CentOS is a tough combination to beat. Of course you might want to run a calendaring server as well.
Once you are down this path how about a Plex or Emby server; actually handling DVD's or BlueRays is for suckers:-)
If you don't fancy building it all yourself a number of the cheap NAS boxes can be extended to do all this for you instead.
If you have a "superfast" broadband connection (I have a 40/20Mbps FTTC connection and could go to 80/20 tomorrow all with a static IP) then all your options really open up. I tell you know your own private cloud is way cheaper than something run by someone else.
Finally If the government decides it wants access to my cloud storage at least I will know about it. No serving a warrant and gagging order to my provider.
No they can just demand you hand over the password, and if you don't throw you in jail for up to three years. Now of course is the evidence on the device might put you in jail for more than three years it would make sense to refuse to hand over the password, especially as almost all sentences in the U.K. run concurrently.
There is no reason to wait till your statement. You can go an pay money in during the middle of the month if you want. It will be credited to your account immediately. Also if you want to but a bicycle for $1100 and your credit limit is $1000 then just go an pay $200 into the account *BEFORE* you buy the bike, that way your account won't exceed the credit limit. I have used that method in the past to buy items beyond my credit limit when I was a student, specifically a PC.
My experience is that your credit limit gets raised if you spend a lot of money on your credit card (at least here in the UK). That said my current limit is some stupid multiple of my monthly income and it is many years since I have been anywhere near the limit.
It cannot be reacting against dark matter because it is located on earth and the biggest and I mean huge massive problem with the whole dark matter thing is that there is none of it on earth, or even anywhere in the solar system.
So something that is supposed to constitute over 80% of the entire matter of the universe is utterly absent in our solar system. We know it is absent because the primary reason for believing it exists is that we cannot explain observed galactic rotation with the amount of matter we believe exists in the galaxies (though we are using Newtonian mechanics rather than General Relativity to come to that conclusion which I regard as a problem in itself). However we know from observation of our own solar system that is is perfectly explained (well within observational error) using General Relativity. As such there is no missing mass in the solar system and hence no dark matter.
I my personal view the idea that there is something special about our solar system that means there is zero dark matter here or even in the vicinity of our solar system is too massive an ask and fails Occam's razor.
That is exactly what I meant by extraordinary proof, and that people don't understand that is both sad and depressing if not unsurprising.
So a handful of unpublished results that have not been peer reviewed is insufficient proof. This needs multiple independent results, and frankly something more than 100uN of force produced.
Sure verified experimental results trump everything. The problem at the moment is that the forces the device produce are very small 100uN. That means there is still the possibility that there are flaws in the experiment and the effect is not real. A bit like those superluminary neutrinos a while back.
My gut feeling at this point is stop messing about with an 80W drive, and build something a bit bigger say a few kW at least. That way the produced thrust should be large enough to rule out experimental errors. Of course this would require money...
The problem is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. This is an extraordinary claim because it at appears to violate one of the most sacred law of physics (the conservation of momentum) for which we have previously never had even the slightest hint might not hold.
That said unlike Mr. Rossi and his eCat for example there is no cloak of secrecy involved here. All details are out in the public for anyone to build one and test it out. This is where in part the fuss is arising because even the best labs are unable to show that it is baloney that every fibre of our beings tells us it should be.
In the end no matter how dear we hold the principle of conservation of momentum verified experimental results trump ALL theories without exception.
Personally I am highly sceptical of the EM drive. However I have to concede that the experimental results are so far with it, and thus further investigation is entirely warranted. In fact I would go further and say that further investigation is absolutely required.
Wrong the energy density of gasoline/petrol is 46.4 MJ/kg. The energy density of aluminium is 31.0MJ/kg and lithium is 43.1MJ/kg. So theoretically both aluminium air and lithium air batteries would have a comparable energy density to gasoline/petrol.
When you figure that internal combustion engines are like ~20% efficient and decent electric motors are over 95% efficient you would understand that you don't actually need to get the same energy density from a battery as you do from liquid hydrocarbons.
That won't work.unless the NSA/GCHQ get lucky. The premise of the original article was that a relatively small number of primes are precomputed at huge expense and the results stored in a relatively small database (a few GB in size). If you are changing that prime every two hours to one that the NSA have not precomputed then they are going to be unable to keep pace with the required precompution to continue decrypting your communication.
As long as it takes the NSA longer to precompute the prime you are using than you are using the prime for you are good to go.
Now of course if I where the NSA I would be designing custom hardware to do the precompute, and would expect it to be way way faster than the original analysis suggested. It's like the difference between doing bitcoin mining on a CPU compared to custom silicon.
It happened in the United Kingdom and live line working is perfectly legal. If you read the article you will see the death occurred due to a lack of communication causing the people to be unaware they where working in the vicinity of line equipment.
Here is a link to the Health and Safety Executive's press release on the subject which has more details. The full judgement does not seem to have hit the judiciary web side yet. At least my searches are coming up blank.

I see no reason why similar procedures cannot be developed for any electrical work.
In general there is fewer incidents in live line working that dead line working. Mostly because if you know it is live then you will be treating with the utmost respect.
You think diesel is dirtier than petroleum spirit because you are focusing on the NOx and nothing else. You are for example ignoring all the un-burnt carcinogenic hydrocarbons in the exhaust of the petroleum spirit engine that are absent from the diesel engine. You are also not considering the reduced CO2 emissions from the diesel compared to the petroleum spirit engine. You are also not considering the half life of the NOx in the equation; that is NOx does not stick around while CO2 and the un-burnt carcinogenic hydrocarbons do.
Is diesel cleaner? Hard to tell in my view probably if you step back and look at the full picture. Certainly the idea it is dirtier is not the simple case you are making out.
If Americans where better drivers than Europeans then the most important statistic in driving quality (aka the death rate per km driven) would be lower in America than Europe. The problem for your assertion is that it is higher. In fact the USA is pretty much the most dangerous place in the first/western world to go anywhere near a road.
Sorry to break it to you but in that case Google Earth is not using satellite imagery. The WorldView-3 satellite is the *THE BEST* commercial available imagery from a satellite platform that you can get.
