I've done research into this because I suffer from several allergies to common foods, and more than one is life threatening. I want to donate blood, but I fear that I will pass them on. No use in saving someone only to kill them with what is coming from the hospital cafeteria... Though it would take repeated exposures for the allergy to be significant enough to become life threatening.
Well, its not just allergies, but all kinds of things including neurological issues like nervous ticks are transmittable well.
This was soured from a WWF report. The same WWF that has been making dire predictions form day 1, and even managed to get their non-peer-reviewed policy papers (it isn't even science) into the IPCC reports. Wherein, recently, the IPCC has has to issue retractions for it not being up to scientific scrutiny.
In short, nothing to see here, move along. It's just WWF campaigning for more money.
I believe the fee I mentioned for the Ovi store has an additional caveat - that you also have Nokia sign the binary. I believe that as long as you're shipping a signed binary (not self-signed) everything is copacetic.
The only free mobile phone stack out there, from top to bottom, is MeeGo (formerly Moblin and Maemo). It is on Linux (GPL), then on Qt (GPL). There are NO FEES except for being in the Nokia Ovi (App) store. The problem is then handsets... or is it? Qt branches work on Android (NDK, marginally using Java via a stub loader) and in iPhone. So If you want to side step the license issue, and get platform independence, then Qt is the way to go.
Don't forget, that as you approach relativistic speeds collisions with the interstellar medium (~1x10^-5 particles per cubic meter) will produce violent reactions on the hull.
There is way too much manual intervention required in the Adobe updater. 1. It does not download updates automatically. 2. It requires a new EULA to be accepted. 3. It makes you wait as it downloads the update 4. It makes you wait as it installs.
Ideally, the reader should download the update, install it in a shadow directory an as soon as that is ready, install the update. If Reader is running, wait for it, or display a message to the user that they need to shut down the offending software before it will update. Give the user an option to close the software from the message box.
The results of these experiments were complex. The first three gave positive results, but the complete absence of any organic compounds in the Martian soil according to the mass spectrometer experiment suggests that the positive results for the first three were not evidence for life, but rather evidence for a complex inorganic chemistry in the Martian soil. Thus, the Viking verdict was that there was no evidence for present or past life on Mars.
Seriously, any one taking 300-level English classes are an English major, which is one of the most useless degrees. This just prepares them for life after college. No money, no job, no skills. At least the zombies in Shawn of the Dead found jobs at Walmart, which is exactly the best-case scenario for English majors
Governments have ceased to be of the people and by the people and for the people. They are now entities in their own right, safeguarding their own survival. To say otherwise is to say that you're a revolutionist, a terrorist supporter. Because the government would never want *my* information... But yet the FBI has abused their "National Security Letter" privilege over 100,000 times.
Governments now exist to ensure the biggest corporations stay at the top, and those that are in government, have an easy ride to and through retirement. There was a time when making a living off of other people's taxes (at least in this country) was viewed as a bad thing. Now, government jobs are the ones to have, better pay, better benefits, and you can't get fired. The government is now a publicly funded corporation, with the ability to charge you whatever it wants by taxing you into oblivion. We'll see this November if we actually control our government or if some subliminal mindset does.
What the government does have a duty to do, is protect the rights of it citizens. Let's see if that happens here.
Right, but why would you pay when they broadcas tit for free? We need a TV tuner solution that can stream to our AppleTV. This device would be called a DVR. So what we need are DVRs that can stream to AppleTV.
NoSQL's two big features are scalability and the arbitrary schemas. While the paper covers the first (though I still think map/reduce has its place) NoSQL does do taxonomy-based (hierarchical) schema better. The only way to do that in SQL is to have a property table, where the parent object is a object RID, and a huge table of attached properties and values to that. You might be able to get your indexes to perform reasonably well, but only by duplicating the some data. And on top of that, just try writing a query for hierarchical data! You'll have sub-selects for each level of hierarchy. This means in order to to something relatively simple, like KPCOFGS of species classifications, you'll need a select and 6 sub-selects. At least that one is well defined to . If its not, you just don't know how many, and you have to write a recursive function to generate your select query, or process the results from it. Either way, you repeatedly consider 99% useless records at every level. True, you can cheat at this because there are always 7 levels. But that is not true for most other trees.
Changing the gravitational constant isn't what I had in mind. (Because I don't think the parent had it in mind either... changing the constants of the universe would have drastically different effects, many of which can't be anticipated.)
Jupiter is also a gas giant (its 100% gas), farther out where the solar wind is weaker. Solar wind is what causes us to ultimately lose our upper atmosphere. So you have a shell whith hydrogen/helium at the top getting stripped away (also replaced by the solar wind) but ultimately, our reserves will float to the upper atmosphere and be lost forever.

Business manager types care not about the implementation. They care about vision.
Nokia is dead set on MeeGo, Qt, and all that open source Jazz. Expect this man's vision to be implemented that way.
It is only loaded when you load a PDF the first time. Before that, it is fair game to be updated. And I don't do a lot of PDFing.

But NASA invalidated the tests
