or for forgetting to attach an off-topic explanation about channel 14 being available in certain European countries.
European countries like Japan, you mean? And on 802.11b only? Not that that seems to be an issue, because the whole channel 1, 6, 11 thing is also 802.11b centric - the non-overlapping channels for 802.11g and n (with 20MHz channels) are 1, 5, 9 and 13, and for 802.11n with 40MHz channels; 3 and 11.
It's perfectly normal for final assembly to be done by hand. We're not talking soldering here, but inserting flat cables into sockets, clipping PCBs into place inside the aluminium chassis, and closing everything up. It would take quite specialized machinery to automate this, and the lifespan of the average iPhone model is just not long enough to justify that.
If they can't print money, I frankly don't know what they'll do. I believe this would be unprecidented.
Zimbabwe basically gave up printing money in 2009 when they couldn't fit any more zeros on the notes. That's not quite the same situation Iran is in now, but the solution is probably the same - use other countries' currency to get some stability back. The problem for Iran is that getting enough of any other countries' banknotes will also be difficult with the current tightening of the sanctions.
Probably more so the "and friends", two of whom appear to have been doing nothing more than running a website providing information, something I was under the mistaken impression that the US defends vigorously as free speech, even when it is bigotted speech full of hatred. Hamza himself does appear to have been directly involved in crimes physically committed on American soil, so extradition is appropriate in his case. The remaining two friends are accused of involvement in attacks on the US embassy in Yemen, which is slightly more dubious, but still as physical attacks, and given that there is no reasonable expectation that Yemen will pursue appropriate prosecution, I don't think any comparison to MacKinnon's case is justified.
It's not like TV stations are slipping this video in amongst their shows and commercials to trick you into watching it.
Actually, it is. This whole thing only kicked off because an Egyptian satellite channel broadcast excerpts from the video (thier motives should be as much in question as the producers of the video, IMO). Do you really think such a poorly produced, pointless video would ever have gone viral without some mainstream media help?
Microsoft's thinking is still in the ActiveSync era - where mobile devices were slaves to the master PC, with propriatary synchronization between them. Apple started moving away from that model with iOS5, and Android was never constrained by it in the first place. Mobile devices are first class clients in their own right - they sync to wherever the data lives (generally in "the cloud"), using industry standard protocols. The PC is just another device in this modern world, with no more restrictions on what its OS should be than a mobile device.
Commemorative coins are legal tender. They are seldom used as such, since their market value is usually higher than their face value. Though sometimes they have been released into the market by Post Office counters giving them as change, and you do see the odd one in circulation for a while after release.
It turns out economic output was never a good excuse for the West's (and particularly USA's) high per-capita greenhouse gas emissions in the first place.
The gain of 10% in charge time is based on a lie, or at least a half truth. Micro-USB plugs and sockets are rated for 1.5A, and Apple like their chargers to go up to 2.1A for faster charging. What they are not telling you is that full size USB plugs are also rated for 1.5A, which doesn't seem to have stopped Apple fitting them to their 2.1A chargers.
I'm not sure where I am on whether or not that should be a crime, but I would like to point out that April's parents probably had their guts turn inside out upon hearing that remark.
The question is - where did they hear it from? The guy's Facebook page, or the media circus that made it public?
Would not revokation of passport imply that he is no longer a Swedish citizen? Or at least that the Swedish government will not support or help one of their own citizens?
Probably quite the opposite. They are trying to force him to return to Sweden. Sweden has discretion to allow Swedish citizens into the country without any documentation on them, but he's going to find it difficult to enter any other country. He can try staying in Thailand, but without a passport it would be difficult to do so legally.
Packing in original retail packaging is only part of the way towards how it was originally shipped. Something the size of a PC is likely shipped in retail packaging, inside corrugated cardboard cartons, maybe 4 retail boxes per carton. These cartons are then stacked on a palette, and the whole pallet wrapped in plastic. Pallets are then loaded into a container containing only pallets from that manufacturer, which is sealed. All this is done to the manufacturer's specification, and the packaging for shipping is part of the product design.
When shipping personal items, you have less control over the whole process, especially if you are not shipping a whole container, so a little more precaution is called for.
Another point is that companies like Dell and HP have local assembly plants around the world. So what they are shipping from China is parts, individually packaged.
That said, personally, when I've shipped electronic equipment around the world, I've had no problems - even not in original packaging. I did however remove the hard drive from my PC, and hand carry it, then sent the rest of the PC for recycling and bought a new one at the other end (it was about due for replacement anyway).
Printers: bulky and cheaper to buy new than cartridges
Another thing to be aware of with inkjets and some cheap laser printers is that the cartridges are region coded, so if you move between continents, prepare to have someone ship you replacement cartridges as needed (retailers generally won't ship internationally, because of agreements they have with the suppliers), or make yourself familiar with hacking the ID chip that is on the cartridges. Most likely you will need to identify the correct replacement cartridges in your destination country, which will have a part number that is off by one or two from your original replacement cartridges, and swap the ID chips from your old cartridges onto the new ones, using a reset tool to reset the print count on the old ID chip so the printer sees it as a new cartridge.
I just won the argument over this with my vegan vegetarian girlfriend. Now this! Damn it, Well, I won't being getting any for awhile.
I think you misunderstand the way girlfriends work. You won't be getting any for a while because you won an argument. Admitting that your argument was flawed and she was right all along, may, depending on the moon cycle, be a factor in resolving this problem.
Profit sharing only works if it's implemented correctly.
The same can be said for communism. The problem is that the tendency for human greed is such that attempts to fairly spread wealth are doomed to failure from the start.
I think the GP's point is: how motivating is it to be writing "no progress today" reports to your team every day when you've been poring tirelessly over screeds of hand written assembly code all day?

It has? When has the Windows OS ever enjoyed success beyond the PC OS?

I've yet to see an automatic transmission that does not have a control for manually shifting in anticipation.
The gain of 10% in charge time is based on a lie, or at least a half truth. Micro-USB plugs and sockets are rated for 1.5A, and Apple like their chargers to go up to 2.1A for faster charging. What they are not telling you is that full size USB plugs are also rated for 1.5A, which doesn't seem to have stopped Apple fitting them to their 2.1A chargers.
You're really sure about that?
No it's not. "All soldiers should die and go to hell" was the dangerous precedent, this is the logical result of that precedent.
I always manually configure my IP to be 2130706433, that way it takes a bit longer to find me with a linear search of the address space.

The new UK government motto: "if we can't find a law to charge you under, we'll extradite you to somewhere that can".

Profit sharing sounds nice in theory, until you see how it is implemented.
