Web History: Disabled
But the demographic profiling for AdWords is not, and clearly works without Web History being enabled. AdWords is not one of the 6 additional applications that are not working with the dashboard yet either, so it seems it has been forgotten about, whether accidentally or deliberately.
There used to also be a page that listed your actual search history as well. I don't know if the dashboard includes that info, because I opted out of this data collection at the time it was publicised, but it certainly seems to be missing this Google Ads demographic profiling.
This is a problem that was solved in the very early days of the web with the "Accept-Language" header, which is supported by all browsers since at least Netscape 2.0.
Mobile phones are a lot of things, but being cheaper isn't one of them.
Depends where you are, and where you are calling to. Most mobile phones are cheaper to call other mobile phones on the same network, and in my case, my mobile phone has cheaper international rates than my home phone - to the point where it isn't even worth setting up VOIP for international calls any more, I just use my mobile.
It's a single UK standard plug and that's it and has been since I can remember (I'm 40).
Ever bought an electric shaver? The UK standard plug for bathroom appliances looks a little like the Europlug, but the pins are thicker and closer together, so it won't fit into a standard socket with the paperclip in the earth pin trick. And the adapters you can buy for them in the local pound shop clearly state "for foreign use only", because there is no way they can comply with any safety standard, with such fat holes (the width of a two year old's little finger) and no earth pin to open a gate, hence no gates.
The higher the voltage, the less current required, meaning that higher voltage = safer.
I didn't realise that human beings maintain a constant power drain regardless of the voltage input. I'd have expected them to more closely resemble resistive loads, where current is proportional to voltage.
In Malaysia where the national standard specifies the british plug type, the biggest issue was that cheap Chinese imports sometimes didn't use it.
It's nothing to do with being cheap Chinese imports, any double insulated equipment in Malaysia seems to be sold with a Europlug rather than a UK plug with a plastic Earth pin.
Really? I find that wall warts in particular tend to fall out of British sockets, because the fat square pins do not tend to be gripped as firmly as US or Australian style flat pin plugs. The only plug that is worse for pulling itself out of the wall is the Europlug, in that case you don't even need the weight of a wall wart half the time.
Since this same problem has been reported before with Audis, it is probably more large (or perhaps clumsy) American feet at fault here than small Japanese ones.
Serious answer, I've been doing just this with Debian since at least 2004. You can even set up multiple access points from the one wifi card - one for public access (firewalled from the local network, with bandwidth throttling and some ports blocked) and one with WPA security for own use.
That's not how the editors see it. The news is just the news - you can get it from another paper and it will be basically the same. The real value in a newspaper is in the columnists, who provide a view that is unique to the paper, so if they lock up the news and leave the columnists open for all to read, noone will buy a subscription (unless they have specialist coverage of news that people are willing to pay for, like the Financial Times and Wall St Journal).
I'm astounded that such profound ignorance of the Sheeba Farms issue is widespread enough for you to be modded as informative rather than the flamebait I suspect you intended to be.
Yes. The issue here sounds like they had a system clock counter that was an integer, that counted the number of 0.1 second clock ticks. Then they wanted to convert this to a floating point number in 24 bit IEEE format, They simply multiplied 0.1 by the integer in the register. Of course, that still sounds like too large an error top have occured from just that, but lets pretend it did.
It sounds more like they compounded the error by storing the ticks as floating point rather than an integer. So each time they added 0.0999999997 to the tick count, the error becoming more and more significant as time went on.
I guess, since they're talking about land area, they're comparing with cars run on biofuels, the most efficient (kJ/hectare-wise) of which is palm oil - explosive growth in demand for which is largely single-handedly responsible for recent large-scale deforestation of Indonesia, and the impending extinction of several rare species, including the Orangutan, the cuteness factor of which is causing people to sit up and take notice, unfortunately probably too late for the Sumatran Rhino and Tiger.
The distributor still need (almost) as much disk space and infrastructures as before
They'll need more, to provide the increased bandwidth required because everyone is now downloading binaries for all supported architectures from their servers instead of just the one architecture they need.
i represent the late james smith esq of lagos, nigeria. the late mr james left a substantial amount in his will to fund the development of a network of wireless sensors atop lampposts here in lagos, however due to a bug in the software that generates the front page of popular website slashdot.org, the money has mistakenly gone to cambridge, ma instead. i seek your assistance in paying for urgent legal counsel in your great country of america as to transfer the lawyers fees from here would take several months due to the bureaucratic and corrupt nature of our public servants. in return, we will award you 10% of the amount we recover. please send the amount of usd5000 in cash to our lawyers office address at an anonymous dropbox in netherlands.
But if you build a car that uses a diesel engine purchased from Ssangyong, and they haven't paid Ford for the patents, then who pays for the patents when you bring that engine into the US where the patents are valid, or do you get to use Ford's patents for free?
If Nokia isn't making the parts manufacturer pay for the per-unit license, it seems like a bit of oversight on their part and adds complexity to licensing.
In most cases like this, the parts are manufactured in China, where the patent either isn't valid or is impossible to enforce, as is the final product. The only opportunity that Nokia has to go after the infringement is when the final product is imported to the US or other country where their patent can be enforced, and then they can go after the importer (in this case Apple themselves). As a long time manufacturer of end products, Apple should be familiar with this situation, and do their due diligence on the parts they are buying.
GPLv2 says nothing about patents, and the patent clauses in GPLv3 only apply to "downstream recipients" of the GPL'ed source code. There is no way that a proprietary software developer can rely on the GPL to protect them from patent infringement claims.
Due to the fact that any patents are only valid in some markets, it is always up to the manufacturer of the end product to license the patents they need for each market the device is sold in. Component suppliers never include patent royalties in the cost of the component unless it is patents that they themselves own.
Presumably the ability of a computer to take the role of keeping steady has improved significantly since the late 80's. It works for Airbus and Boeing.
I've had the power steering system spring a leak. That leads to a gradual failure, with loud groaning noises on sharp bends, followed by jerky feedback on the steering wheel giving you plenty of warning of the pending failure. Complete power loss is the most likely cause of sudden failure (there isn't really enough load on the piston to have any real probability of catastrophic failure), and that can be mitigated through the power management in the car ensuring that the electric motor driving the car is cut off well before the battery capacity drops to the point where steering and brakes would be affected (with a separate lower powered motor to drive the hydraulics, possibly as a backup to the main engine, which will also cover some loose wire failure modes).

Asia is not all city states like Singapore and Hong Kong, you know, Toyota city is near Nagoya, over 200 miles West of Tokyo.
My first thought was this.

You can also buy landline phones that will accept SMS as text messages, rather than having the nice woman at BT read it back to you.
