I don't know... the lousy Apple III bug with the chips popping out is why I don't buy Apple stuff like the iPhone. I mean, I always judge a buying decision on the worst example within a large class of products, just like you.
Psst... Android isn't a phone, it's an OS available on many products from many companies. Plenty of Android phones are regularly updated and have good hardware. This is about the market of all Android phones, and as you tend to buy *one* phone, rather than the entire market, it doesn't actually apply to any specific individual, but rather the marketplace as a whole.
Since when did cosmetics, and most especially the advertisements thereof, have anything to do with reality? They are like real life photoshop.
Yes. Exactly. A company can't use a video of Photoshop to advertise their crummy paint program for the iPad. It's a different product that you're showing. The makeup is intended to enhance your appearance, and you're using a different product to enhance that appearance.
Yeah, but despite being created to pay for the Civil War, and then being found unconstitutional, they tossed in the 16th amendment to keep the IRS going. Wonder how long it will be before a TSA amendment is passed. "For the good of the Homeland and Security unto the people under its care..."
This *might* be related to my wife's PhD research from several years back. Proton Coupled Electron Transfer. She's in a seminar right now, but when she's back at her desk, I'll past this by her to see if it relates. I could be totally wrong, but I know physicists approach the same kinds of things using different terms and models than chemists. Either way, PCET is an interesting effect that also happens in photosynthesis:
Mobile phones would be far worse to ban from flights in my mind. Navigating a strange city without the ability to make a call at any given time (plus gps, etc) would be a pain. Or rather, it was... especially having to pick preordained meeting points and wait at meeting locations to gather back together. Mobile phones make trips much, much easier than they used to be. Of course, the sale of disposable phones just outside the airport would boom.
InfoWorld wasn't bad during that era. I'd really love to see a 80s era Byte magazine replacement pop up. Alas, Wired was a bit too self-conscious of their own coolness, and I haven't seen any general computing/tech blogs that seem to have replaced it. I'm not referring to places like Slashdot that write a paragraph and link; there have been few actual sources of fairly long articles and well written anecdotes (a la Chaos Manor) about a wide span of topics.
Who is "you guys"? I just watch C-Span now and then. I'm not a Ron Paul supporter. I just dislike disinformation, no matter who it is about, and you were implying that he wasn't for cutting the defense budget, which is something he regularly advocates.
I'll support an honest presentation about any political position or figure. While I am not educated on all fronts, it does irritate me when people make assumptions and engage in arguments without having a basic, cursory knowledge of the position that they are arguing against.
Actually, Ron Paul is very keen on gutting the Department of Defense. He wants to close all bases outside US soil and cut way back on our standing military, letting go of a large portion of military personnel. I think he wants to cut military research as well (well, federal funding thereof), but I could be wrong about that part. I've seen him speak about it many times. He's pretty much an isolationist who wants zero foreign involvement by the state.
He and Kucinich both pitch it together now and then.
While it doesn't mean much directly (as the two major parties are self-interested groups rather than liberal or conservative in my view), Tennessee is actually a Democratic leaning state (remember Al Gore here in Nashville, during the recount?). Currently a Republican governor, but the mayor of Nashville, Memphis and all other cities with populations over 100k are all Democrats, with one independent.
I took it as "seven of (which value are you referring to) is 11 percent?". I.e., trying to have him restate the way the data was interpreted, in this case asking which bit of data was used. It sounds like there was an allegation that there was trickery involving willful misinterpretation of the observations. It also sounds like the investigator isn't exactly grilling him, but just asking him to run through it, making sure it all matches the report, thus clearing the allegation.
Honestly, it's exactly what I would do. In a transcript of a face to face conversation that misses cues like pointing to papers or reading from them, I might sound just as stupid.
I understand exactly how cool it is. There's just not much more to say about it. It would be cool to have easy scripting of core capabilities and a very sane environment on my phone. There. I only said it to make you happy. Otherwise, it's just a really damn cool thing that there's not much to chat about if you already comprehend what it is. So the remaining discussion is from people who don't know what it is.
I'm not sure that I should listen to somebody describing specific definitions and semantics who doesn't bother to distinguish between the concept of wikis and the Wikipedia project.
What it does have to do is that the FDA won't legalize a lot of practices that are commonplace in most European countries. In fact, you could say in this regard European countries have a more free market in health care procedures than the US.
True, and the US has always been slow to allow new practices, treatments and drugs, both the FDA and ethics panels composed of US doctors. It's a cultural difference in the practice of medicine. Of course, it's also prevented things like the Thalidomide tragedy that struck Europe, while its use was refused by the FDA pending more testing (although that testing meant that there were still people in the US who suffered).
On the other hand, it is likely that there are people in Europe whose lives were saved by treatments that a panel of US doctors nixed because it was deemed too experimental, and they went with older treatments. In the case of stem cell injections (at least as far as the state of the art is now), it's probably a mix of both: some people do well, others have all kinds of bizarre growths or cancers.
obMySource: My father worked for Scientific Products for many years, a (no longer existing?) company that made equipment for hospitals. There are two semi-retired doctors who serve/served as outside doctors for some ethics panels at local hospitals and are friends of the family. One practiced in Europe as well. They've all chatted about this topic during several holidays, and I find it interesting. Incidentally, they all think the current US system stinks and is getting worse, and the doctors practiced medicine all their lives.
That's how the DMCA works. They file, and the author is given an opportunity to say "no, I do have the rights to this", in which case it goes back up and CBS can go to court with a record that the author claims ownership and the host (in this case Google) is free and clear legally, as it is now between CBS and moonblink. In this case, the author didn't. It does use LCARS style interface and tricorder sound effects.
Been there, done that in about 16 years of commercial hosting. In the case of child porn, we called the cops. Otherwise, we muddled through, and roughly did what the DMCA later formalized.
In short: CBS made a claim, moonblink is not claiming he has the rights to it, so it stays removed.
I usually do this in an amusing voice while stroking my beard, so picture that:
"If only there were some way to stabilize electricity. Some kind of method of pairing electrons one-to-one with a positive particle so they are neutralized and can be stored, transported and used to power anything electrical. It would have so many uses, we could name it after the mighty, multiheaded hydra. A hydra that could generate electricity... some kind of hydra... gen..."
Actually, it explodes fairly easily, and I have a buddy who has a scar across his face when a gas tank on a dune buggy blew. Hydrogen is really hard to ignite at all, as it doesn't stay still, and rapidly dissipates. Which is the point: both are relatively safe for substances that carry enough energy to move a ton of metal and people at 80 miles an hour for a few hundred miles. Both are also, in the right circumstances, deadly.
Fuel tanks are cars are designed to prevent gasoline fumes from igniting. You're acting like no effort will be made to address the safety concerns of hydrogen, despite even saying that there is "so much research" to better handle stored hydrogen.
Nope, I'm not confused. I followed it back when it was announced and was quite interested in the KHTML port at the time. I'm referring to new as in not an fork of a former codebase. For instance, Unix was a new OS from scratch, based on the ideas of Multics. MS-DOS was not new (being based on a purchased codebase).
Different meaning of new. You could also use new to refer to original ideas, but in this case, I was referring to codebase.
And as it has grown, it has borrowed various libraries and code from other open source products. But I'm pretty sure the original starting point was a new set of code.
Problem is that you cannot safely transport hydrogen in a car. Sure... if you want to be in a bomb go ahead.
Hunh? Hydrogen in most mobile fuel cell systems is chemically bound, as you say, as hydrides. Even in a gas state, hydrogen is safer than gasoline in a practical sense (hydrogen explodes "up" and burns off, while gasoline explodes "out" and splashes flaming liquid everywhere).
You do realize that we're all currently driving around in metal containers that have a compartment full of flammable, explosive hydrocarbons, right?

Well, I suppose Dr. Dobbs keeps slogging along.
Actually, many people would sell you the answer. And they don't have nobel-prices[sic].

I can't switch over because I'm a hard core Google user. And thus use Google Apps. So my account doesn't work with plus.

his one paper was heralded by many to be the penultimate refutation of climate change
What would have been the final point that refuted climate change? Was there another paper planned?
I actually tried to read it out of curiosity. The links are dead.
It's official: according to Netcraft, GNAA is dead. Or at least 404ing in their cut and pasted diatribes. Even the new ones.
