It is irresponsible to shoot down property like that. If it really did crash on a highway, then that would suggest that anything on the highway was at risk of damage too.
But I wonder why the SHARK group launched their drone anyway? It would seem to be a taunt, because the threat of launching did what they wanted it to do.
My parents had to charge their Nextel phones every day or risk a dead phone on the second day.
I do charge my iPhone every day out of habit because I tend to forget once in a while, and if I forget two days in a row, I might be in trouble.
You might think iPhone started it, but people got in the habit of charging smart phones, regardless of brand, and this was before iPhone was available.
The Tegra does sound very good. Also, with the auto metaphor, several modern engine families do shut down cylinders when the brute power isn't needed, to increase efficiency while still allowing seamless access to full power. And it works pretty well, unlike GM's old, maligned 8-6-4 system, which I understand was a system rushed to market maybe a year before it was ready, and then abandoned before it was refined any further.
There's India. Foxconn is expanding to Brazil. It's probably best for Apple to broaden its production base rather than have most of their eggs in China's basket.
I don't think a lot of people are clamoring to live on the ocean floor. On a continental shelf would be bad enough. It's not an easy life, expensive and pretty risky. There are remotely operated vehicles and other machines to do the drilling for oil and related work.
They do have plans that can be used heavily for video, and an absurd stretch at that for 24/7. There is a total absurdity in posting an example using the lowest tier data plan with the heaviest data use they can imagine, to get people riled up. This is an example of trolling.
Yes, it bothers me when people buy things they don't need and end up in financial trouble. I think that's part of why the economy is in trouble.
I can offer only one solution: I have a buddy that uses a Virgin prepaid smart phone. He says he has plenty of data service, plenty of voice and SMS for $25/mo.
I really don't get these arguments, because there are several plan choices, you pick one for your needs. If you want a lot of data, use a higher plan. I have a 200MB plan and I only go over twice a year. There's no point in spending the extra $10/mo for data that I'm not going to use, even if it is an extra 1.8GB.
The article is not rational when it picks a plan that doesn't align with the hypothetical use, It's a stacked deck deliberately chosen to make AT&T look bad, but frankly, it just looks like someone that has an axe to grind and hopes no one notices how terrible the argument is.
If it's diesel, it is less dense than water, so if containment is still good, pumping the water out or air bags for the rest of the ship may be a better way.
I also think that people don't really want prices vary like the stock market. And I think buyers will think the theater chain is greedy. Stock prices try to constantly hunt for an optimal price but they never get there, it's always approximate, and the chase is a big headache. It's a lot better for everyone involved to just have a single price and be done with it. The logistics and possible ill will make changing the price so often untenable.
However, there are differences in prices, 3D still has a premium, seniors and students often get discounts, and daytime prices are lower than evening and weekend. I think that's plenty enough of different prices to suit the given market.
Yes, and they use an IR sensing device to see who is using a camera to record a movie. The movie industry is that desperate to prevent movie camcordering.
While you can get ARM processor might be nice, but the few that I've used also had pretty cut-down and altered operating systems at best, I'd rather run an OS configuration I'm more familiar with.
Maybe it's actually smarter than you give credit? If you're going to go half-cocked on a one-sentence explanation, then it says you're going to be against something in ignorance, rather than investigate it.
Freezers aren't actually constantly on, they cycle as needed to maintain a set temperature range. They can go hours without power without ruining its contents, especially if the door isn't being opened. Or it could even dial it back to a bit below freezing rather than a lot below freezing. I'm sure there are other power management schemes.
The government made the right call there. I imagine someone was just being a smartass to get out of some taxes.
I think that's the wrong response. Better response should be, why should the two categories be taxed at different rates? Another good question would be, why tax basic foods such as fruits and vegetables? I don't see the point in defending the government's position when their bad tax policy is the root cause of the scuffle.
From my hazy recollection of American history, the cotton (en)gin(e), made it possible to process cotton with a lot less labor making slaves less necessary(?) and set the stage for the civil war. Or something like that.
The general idea of your post may be correct, but I think it's the opposite. The cotton gin made slaves more necessary to the south (or at least so they believed) because it made seed-heavy cotton varieties into a viable crop. This cotton would grow well where other crops didn't. Without the gin, the plant wouldn't have been economical and slavery would have continued to gradually fade. Some of this is conjecture, it's hard to speculate accurately on possible alternative paths of history, but slavery was supposedly declining before the cotton gin was made available.
DVD drives have been available for 12 years, affordable DVD writable drives for maybe eight. Optical drives over five years old probably aren't working anyway, and drive upgrades are cheap now.
While there's something to be said to making sure what gets on the image really needs to be there, I don't see the CD format as a reasonable target in itself if they can't make it fit.
Being down for several days in each of two instances in the last month is a bit more than "one hickup(sic)". I don't think the Napster comparison fits, if you're referring to what I think you are, it was because Napster was forced by court order to vacate its existing "business model". Which I really don't recall was actually a business model because they didn't charge anyone anything.
On an e-reader, the energy used to write the flash has to come from the battery. It would seem to me that the losses due to heat would more than negate the added mass on the flash chip.
Holy Hell. If I were in the same room with you I'd slap you upside the head.
So you're unstable enough that you're willing to assault people you don't agree with? Cute.
Quit whining and become the 1% yourself.
What you're suggesting is mathematically impossible for anymore than 1% of the population. The problem is, when the cost of health care is factored out, wages for nearly everyone else is flat. The US is about 60th in the world in upward mobility.
And the corporate system is working to the point where pensions are taken away from everyone but executives, and those executives had pay increases of 300% over the previous decades, when everyone else is flat.
It may be an aside, but the trope found elsewhere that the non-1%ers are lazy just doesn't ring true, I think it's more like something people say to comfort themselves without having to think about it. I've known a lot of hard-working, smart people that have had significant struggles finding employment or their businesses struggle hard. I've done pretty well, but I think that's luck because these other people aren't less hard-working, nor are they dumb people. In fact, I've known a few people that had their businesses yanked out of under them because the bank wanted their money back before term. These weren't delinquent businesses either, they kept up with payments and didn't complain. They couldn't find other financing in time to save the business, so the business was liquidated.
Big rocks? What is at the core of the gas giants isn't well-understood, but they probably have rocky cores larger than the inner planets.
Besides, the chart in Titus-Bode article shows ten planets, you can't reasonably leave out Ceres if you want to call Pluto a planet. A few problems with calling Pluto a planet is it fits better as a TNO, KBO, or both. It crosses Neptune's orbit and its orbital plate is at an extreme angle to the planetary disc. If you want to keep Pluto, then we'd need to also count larger KBOs that have been discovered, so nine just isn't a tenable number. Those KBOs are the reason why the IAU eventually had to make more formal definitions for these objects, because there were only informal definitions.
It's not that hard to clean. I've had anti-reflective coatings for a decade now, their poor reputation for unreliability is not warranted, it's just people weren't paying attention to the instructions. People can also try to avoid touching it. There are inexpensive lens wipes for anti-glare glass that work very well. There are eyeglass spray solutions too. Wash your hands (gets rid of dirt), rinse lenses (gets rid of dirt), spray on anti-reflective solution, wipe around solution with fingers, then with a slow, clear, steady stream from a water faucet, clean off solution with the stream. The water and solution sheet off as if it was never there. I clean my glasses every day and the coatings hold up for years.
It also helps to not buy the cheapest coating too, pay a little extra with a scratch-resistant anti-glare and the coating will last twice as long.

While the article headline says internet, story summary says "interactive Internet". Where that goes depends on how you interpret it.

Because once a 4g enabled iPhone is released, it will be introduced as being "revolutionary, the first to implement such technology."
No, it won't. Apple didn't pretend to be the first to offer 3G either.
Ping pong balls probably doesn't scale well.
If it's diesel, it is less dense than water, so if containment is still good, pumping the water out or air bags for the rest of the ship may be a better way.
Yeah, if the accounts I read are right, the local Coast Guard had to order him back to his ship.

It seems the price difference is at the retail level. At the wholesale level, bottled water costs less than bottled soda, per unit liquid volume.
