You get a nice phone and all the personal identity information left behind by the previous owner that the refurbishment procedure missed. Bargain.
And there will no doubt be something available in the Android Market to delve into memory and configuration looking for any snippets of information left behind.
Hmm, I can see it now. As the Facebook devs come up with more and more convoluted ways to force advertisements on their users who keep using more and more tenacious ad-blockers, the system starts to exhibit emergent behavior... It starts to grow at an exponential rate and becomes self-aware at 02:14 am Eastern Time, driven by a sole purpose of making humans look at advertisements.
Bet the SkyNet nukes look more appealing now, huh?
Police Scotland never had the name "Scotland Yard", that is the name given to the Metropolitan Police headquarters in London, derived from the original location. They've since moved but "Scotland Yard" had become so synonymous with the police in London that the new HQ is officially "New Scotland Yard" even though nobody actually uses the "New".
Is that not the real problem? The interpretation of a 2000 year-old book, by just a few really and then a larger number of people have to accept their word, determines what is acceptable research and what is not. Then given enough elected legislators among that larger number and it affects laws around the research.
The interpretation is sometimes confusing though. I've never read it but I'm led to believe there is an assertion within it, "Thou shalt not kill", but the interpreters of the book don't object to extremely well funded military research. There won't be anything in the book about human germline modification because of being written 2000 years ago but apparently the book would still forbid that.
The fans of this Jack (whom I've never heard of) probably won't have much worth stealing. What you want to do is persuade them to get account numbers and PINs of their parents. They'd probably do it for something trivial in return, like a signed photo or, as stated, a personalized message in social media.
And why was the password required anyway? If you have less than 50 followers on Twitter, which I assume would be the case for most people, then any mention of your @accountname stands out. Although there is a risk of missing something if you assume, like I do, that any mention is spam because they usually are.
While it would seem certain that an Apple car would certainly be aesthetically pleasing (and sure to include design features not patented in a century of car design), will they diverge from what seems to be their standard approach with consumer technology devices?
Will it have a unique recharging cable? Or can only be recharged at outlets that also have the Apple vehicle charger?
Well the industry may involve questionable ethics but the fact that the lactase persistence mutation is so prevalent among European descent indicates that there was a time (admittedly thousands of years ago) where adults able to consume the milk of a different species survived better than those that couldn't. If it had made no difference to survivability then the mutation would be less common and most of Europe would be lactose intolerant.
It was just a few days after my second birthday. My parents tell me I was kept up to watch it on the TV (not even sure what time the landing would have been in BST) but I have absolutely no recollection of that.
Just wondering if that's more than or less than the money used to bribe, I mean make campaign donations to, politicians in the USA.
If it's less then Google may well see that as a bargain.
Of course plummeting Sterling means that UK politicians are going to be cheaper than most at the moment but it's a pretty small market that now comes with zero European influence, so that's unlikely to be money well spent.
Yeah, 'cos our MPs would never favour the wants of their corporate chums over the needs of the general public.
But then most of the leg work is going to be done by unknown civil servants (probably aided by highly paid consultants since the civil service is going to be struggling to meet the deadlines) with parliament just rubber stamping it and maybe a few MPs throwing in suggested amendments. I don't think it's going to go smoothly.
Certainly possible and exactly the sort of thing that can be asserted during incident investigation, in which case it wouldn't have been mentioned in the article if that assertion was considered true. But applying realism we know that the two most likely reasons are that the vehicle had a female driver that the policeman liked the look of or that the vehicle made a maneuver that annoyed him but unlike most drivers, who are generally constrained to shouting, swearing and pushing on the horn, he had the option of finding out more about the vehicle.
There is not politician who could take Cameron's spot and would be willing to invoke Article 50.
Well he is certainly leaving a poison chalice for his successor. The Tories won't want to be seen as ignoring the referendum result and will probably find an expendable fall guy who will have a brief Premiership during which they invoke Article 50 then be ousted and replaced by someone that can reassure the electorate that they will "sort out the mess that [expendable fall guy] has created". Boris might fit that role since he has inexplicable public appeal.
If they don't invoke Article 50 then UKIP, enlarged with more Conservative defectors, will run on a "we will invoke Article 50" ticket at the next Westminster election. But since that would then not be the straight in/out vote of the referendum it's by no means certain that they would win a Westminster majority.
They proposed a ridiculous electoral reform in 2010. Basically the Conservatives agreed to put one to referendum that nobody would want in order to keep the support of their coalition partners the Liberal-Democrats. The Lib-Dems should have seen it was a turkey but gave the Conservatives the required support in exchange for an unwinnable referendum. Cretins.
I voted for it anyway because it was so bad they'd have had to fix it had the referendum been won (or subsequent elections could have been a hilarious experience, which might have been better than how they actually turned out). I know people that wanted electoral reform but actually voted against the proposal so that they could support a better reform later. My argument that it was being set up to fail to ensure there would be no further reform for decades wasn't believed. People are easily conned. Cretins.
I like how the immediate, and totally predictable, market plunge will hit their pension fund values. You don't normally get such a deserved rapid response to a vote.
Which doesn't seem to feature in much news today. I guess nobody outside Gibraltar really cared and allowing their 20,000 votes was a token gesture that could not have had any meaningful impact on the result.

I expect the "speed lock" was in the original copy and paste from the Ingress code that Niantic used to create Pokemon Go from.

Or, rather, it's an obvious idea with consequences that haven't really been thought through.
Which is true of so many things, although it's usually politicians having those ideas.

I suspect that the wars over water are going to be a lot more vicious than the wars over oil ever were.

On a 3 month cycle? I'm up to "Password67" now.
Er.. I mean "**********"
Let it slide... let it slide... No, can't
and a free reign
Exercise of sovereign power applies to nations, not offices, nor basements. If you mean that no restrictions apply, then it's "free rein".

Will it only run on Apple-approved roads?
Will you be able to change the battery?

There is the promise of a statement about privacy next week
So after the final date for free Windows 10 then?
Why do I have the feeling that statement will be "Gotcha! Suckers!"
You know who else had a Master Plan?
Me. I've got it installed.
We are talking about the World of Warcraft garrison add-on, right?
It was just a few days after my second birthday. My parents tell me I was kept up to watch it on the TV (not even sure what time the landing would have been in BST) but I have absolutely no recollection of that.
And I agree, "The Dish" was a good film.

It has long been assumed that when First Contact were to happen, it would involve representatives of the American government
You mean it has long been portrayed in English speaking movies that are invariably made in the USA.

Not everyone who could vote did vote. Maybe those who abstained are finally checking what all the fuss was about.

Gibraltar for instance voted 96% Remain.
