I keep running across content that's only released on iTunes. Otherwise, I always opt for Amazon or Google Play (or buy the CD or Vinyl + Digital Download).
...is that the oil and gas companies were enthusiastic participants in the study, providing the data. Their rationale was one of enlightened self-interest, I'm sure: THEY don't want to get sued if they cause an earthquake, and the USGS analysis will tell them where/how it's safe to drill.
(My source is an interview on either NPR or BBC World News, which I can't find a link to at the moment)
No matter what age you are, if you're at all tech-savvy and security-conscious, Snowden is owed your thanks for this reason alone. (Or from Wikipedia, if you prefer).
Related: There's a widely-circulated conspiracy theory that the NSA has solved P vs. NP and broken RSA (and most other forms of) encryption. The fact that Snowden hasn't leaked any documents confirming this seems to be to be pretty strong evidence that the theory is false.
This. My favorite part of the interview is when Oliver shares that segment with Snowden, right after Snowden says that what he did was "worth it" because it forced us Americans to have a meaningful dialogue about government surveillance--his reaction is like when you tell a kid there's no Santa Claus or a twenty-something grad student that the job market for people with his or her PhD is nonexistent.
My 2012 N7 (running Android Version 5.1) is shutting itself down randomly, within a few minutes of booting. Boots up fine, and it appears to only power off when it's asleep (screen is off). I *knew* i should have stayed on Jelly Bean, but I was just so damn sick of seeing that "update is available" notification come up every. five. seconds. This may push me to put Cyanogenmod on it, which is something I've been meaning to do for a while anyway.
I mean, a correcthorsebatterystaple equivalent is better than 1234 or W%x9, since there are more words in the dictionary than there are ASCII characters. It's really a pretty simple matter of number of possible passwords = (number of units in you're considering) ^ (number of units used). So there are 10^4=10,000 four-number passwords, 128^4=268,435,456 four-ASCII-character passwords, and ~(1,000,000)^4=10^24 four-word passwords.
It's my understanding that there's been considerable speculation into what happens if self-driving cars end up dominating the roadways--the rules that are currently being programmed into them to ensure safety in a human-driver-dominated won't necessarily be the optimal ones when most cars on the road are driven by AI. And if you assume that all other cars on the road are driven by an AI with a given set of rules, tweaking the rules on your car (say, increasing the "aggression" parameter) could lead you to dominate the roadways... at least until other drivers catch on. Bottom line: AIonAI interactions, especially when leading to swarm behavior, is definitely a field that people are investigating, and with good reason.
Or are people just hypothesizing that women will be offended? Because I didn't see a single tweet expressing outrage. This strikes me as "brogrammers" trying to pick a fight where there is none. If anyone is actually offended by the comments, they could always fork the project, rewrite the readme, and change the method names to things that are gender-neutral In other words, they could neuter the project.
I've been incredibly impressed with what Tesla has done in getting an American public who flat out did not want to give up its gas guzzlers interested in the concept of an electric car. I'll be even more impressed when the Tesla competitors come around, and the question shifts from "Do I want an electric car?" to "Which electric car should I buy?"
I realize this isn't the router in question, but I refuse to use my Comcast modem--which has a wireless router built in--as anything but a modem, preferring to run everything through my own hardware. Also disabling that stupid Comcast Hot Spot functionality--like Hell am I paying Comcast for the privilege of hosting a part of their "free wireless" network, whether it affects my own personal bandwidth or not (or whether it leaves a door open to hacking into my own private network).
Especially if she's running simulations or calculations which might run overnight. Get a desktop with tons of CPU, memory and, if you're adventurous, an NVIDIA card or two. Bonus points: spec it out and build it together! Then take the money you saved and buy a cheap netbook (most important factor is ergonomics). Campuses tend to have wireless everywhere, so she can use the netbook to remote in anywhere, any time. And she doesn't have to worry about her web browsing disrupting her computations.
The point is that legally DICE can do whatever the fuck they want with this site. There is no law saying that any medium needs to label an advertisement as such. The reason newspapers don't try to pass ads off as legit news* stories is about journalistic ethics, not legal concerns.
The best full keyboard QWERTY Android phones currently available are the Droid 4 or the Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G. I have the latter, and at this point--even with Cyanogenmod 11 installed, which removes a lot of the stock bloatwear--it's barely usable.
I'll be reading about a prominent AI researcher getting murdered, ostensibly by his own AI, but really by anti-Skynet wackadoos. It's okay. Sherlock Holmes will be on the case.
A better question is why routers are accepting incoming connections by default. I see no problem with lax security on a home network when the only way to access a device on the network is if you're in the network, in which case a simple admin/password default is, in my opinion, OVERKILL--you shouldn't even need credentials to manage it.

I remember this episode...

I've got some dino DNA to sequence.

I assume this feature is optional. If not, there's always Cyanogenmod!

Wait, Comcast will sell me a static IP?
Wow. You're absolutely right. They charge me $10/mo, and modems are less than $100. That's insane.

Yep, I thought ethically that they were supposed to disclose such things as advertisements......
