A GPS application for a phone can be updated within the phone, and a standalone GPS ought to be able to be updated by copying a file to it through USB mass storage or MTP.
My, aren't you optimistic...
It's an unbelievable headache to get your average GPS unit updated with Windows (I'm familiar with TomTom), much less any other alternatives you might suggest.
Step 1: Come up with touchscreen interface for your game and program it along with mouse and keyboard. Step 2: In Visual Studio, compile as a universal Windows application. Step 3: Publish.
Performance issues aside (phones will never match desktops), porting to Windows on phones has become trivial.
Those moments when something is good enough to be a troll making fun of Russia and stupid enough to be a paid shill in a social media engineering farm.
Summary reads like thinly-veiled propaganda. This kind of thing is under serious research elsewhere. The fact that it's in Russia does not make it notable.
Everything newer than XP will get a small update for the timezones. Remember when Chavez (they're all alike, these idiots...) did something similar? The Windows update that added that stupid timezone made me restart my computer, too.
I'm fairly certain that AWS runs on VMs that get shuffled around. That's a whole new layer that probably prevents this kind of exploit unless you target a highly specific and insecure implementation.
Haven't done the math, but I guesstimate that your hypothesis is probably wrong.
Your hypothesis requires mass to be created from energy (not a theoretical issue and it would be cool as hell), but if I correctly remember the numbers presented, there is too much thrust for the energy input (according to your hypothesis), since mass would require insane amounts of energy just to be created, never mind accelerated.
The physics are most certainly NOT uncontroversial.
If this thing were to truly work, it would have insane implications to some basic assumptions about the universe - namely about the very laws of physics themselves.
This device working means that the laws of physics do vary by translation, which goes against every single other observation ever made. The science behind it is most certainly not clearly sound. Skepticism is the only logical option for this thing.
Of course the seller has to identify himself. The people selling stuff and seriously thinking about paying taxes are not the same people who'd rather not show up on the government's radar.
As I said, nothing changes, other than bitcoin being grouped with real currencies and not products.
Any non-under-the-table sales over a certain amount must identify both parties, in many jurisdictions. Small purchases don't require that.
This ruling has no impact on anonymity: If something was to be kept off the radar, it sure as hell wouldn't be bothered with taxes and government bureaucracy. If it's just something small that should be kept quiet, nobody bothers or is forced to collect information about the buyer.

"port a Windows game to Windows Phone"

Very good. Have a celebratory golf clap.
Because it'd be the least bullshitty thing to come out of Russia in recent years?

Strawman.
Nobody mentioned muslim countries (many of which are indeed despicable places - as are other countries).
How on Earth was this ever voted +2 Insightful?
You'll find that people are a lot more willing to spend obscene amounts of cash to grab someone if that someone is publicly making them look bad.
The asshole is making fun of everyone involved. He's the one who made it personal.
And how many people did they interview in a foreign embassy in London?
Don't pretend they can just show up and ask questions.
You make a very good point.
Assange is the perfect person out of whom to make an example. He is a sleazy idiot who thinks he is above the law and has a general asshole attitude.
Yeah, everyone knows that only Windows has the occasional serious security flaw. /s
Fine by me, I live in UTC +0.
Spare the bullshit.
Everything newer than XP will get a small update for the timezones. Remember when Chavez (they're all alike, these idiots...) did something similar? The Windows update that added that stupid timezone made me restart my computer, too.
It's not even symbolic, it's a resounding "that's supposed to piss us off? sure, whatever".
I'm fairly certain that AWS runs on VMs that get shuffled around. That's a whole new layer that probably prevents this kind of exploit unless you target a highly specific and insecure implementation.
You're joking, but *that's* your typical consumer's attitude.
Oh, go to hell. Feel free to google Noether's Theorem.
Don't blame others for your scientific illiteracy.
I already have. Third paragraph.
Conservation of linear momentum is mathematically equivalent to the laws of physics not varying by translation.
If you're going to be an asshole with an attitude on the internet, at least be right.
Haven't done the math, but I guesstimate that your hypothesis is probably wrong.
Your hypothesis requires mass to be created from energy (not a theoretical issue and it would be cool as hell), but if I correctly remember the numbers presented, there is too much thrust for the energy input (according to your hypothesis), since mass would require insane amounts of energy just to be created, never mind accelerated.
It cannot be incomplete, it is a purely mathematical statement.
Particularly, for linear momentum, conservation of linear momentum is equivalent to the laws of physics being symmetric by translation.
If linear momentum is not conserved, the laws of physics are not the same throughout the universe and vice-versa.
The physics are most certainly NOT uncontroversial.
If this thing were to truly work, it would have insane implications to some basic assumptions about the universe - namely about the very laws of physics themselves.
