Aye. The result isn't surprising at all. In fact it is one of the big reasons why science demands that results be reproducible and methods be published.
The reason large touch screens are not cheaper is because it is a relatively rarely-wanted feature. It just isn't useful in the cases of most desktops and large screen deployments.
Eh separate transfers might be alright if you are accessing different things. I often listen to online radio while I play an online game and download something. Add in roommate's Netflix and you have four separate transfers going not counting any background system stuff that might happen at the same time.
Aye. It is somewhat idiotic to worry about 'if' such a storm could. It is plainly obviuos that such a storm could take down a datacenter and almost certainly would if its path tracked across a few datacenters.
The real question is how would such a storm affect the network?
How many datacenters would be taken down and if they would be acceptable losses given this type of event. A single datacenter should be of little concern when it comes to the stability of the Internet as a whole, even when concerning a large region such as the East Coast. True many companies can only afford to build a single datacenter, but once they are able to afford the costs of a second the second should never be in the same region as the first to avoid large area disasters. That has been a part of basic network service design since DARPA.
I'm just looking forward to the youtube video where you get Siri and Nina beside one another and talking. Hoping it ends in a fight with Nina calling Siri a slut.
Not an option. Someone does something, especially if they work with children, if they had anything in their social networking history people will be howling that the employer didn't do enough. If the employer does look they are only partly liable to someone who wants to be hired and is less likely to sue.
In short our legal system makes it so that employers will look rather than not look. It does not reward discretion.
The only problem is everyone at some point posts nasty stuff, and at many points it is fully justified.
You could get a cooling effect on free speech if all potential employers are going to rate their employees by their non-work related speech. Sure you don't want to hire a KKK clansman but what about an atheist? Does a Libertarian employer have the right to refuse to hire a Communist or Socialist employee? What about one that is merely Liberal? What about someone who argues for pornagraphy and/or erotic art?
There are many decisive issues that we need to be able to freely discuss in online and public forums without fear of those discussions damning our chances at attaining our livelyhoods.
However, history shows that while many industrial processes could be made to be both profitable and have a moderated impact on the surrounding environment monied interests dictate that such steps to moderate the impact will not be taken unless forced. Even a small increase in profit is enough to damn basic steps towards safety and basic wellfare of those working and living in and around industry. Thus it is the job of government to ensure that such practices do not produce profit.
No most crops are still non-gmo, well lab gmo. We've been modifying livestock and breeding plant species far beyond anything natural for centuries and playing with genes before we knew what genes where.
GMO is generally scary because it is done in a lab with white coats. The white coats apparently add the danger.
While you're at it also tell the poor and those without reliable transportation (or any transportation) who are often unable to get to the polling place or get the nessasary paperwork for registration/proof of id (16 bucks is a lot of money for some people).
Oh if you have trouble finding these people you can check the areas with lower-paying jobs where the work is long hours that often doesn't allow time off to go vote, or forces the individual to choose between voting and say getting home to their children, and with pay that barely manages to cover basic living expenses let alone the cost of a car.
How are the package manager databases a crippling problem with most distros? With Debian; A. If one repository goes down I can switch to another, quite easily in fact. B. If all repos go down for some reason I can still install via./configure, make, make install. The old ways are still there!
They probably took data from a large sample set without differentiating different types of users or types of use.
I'd bet that common behavior is for a user to pin the top five or six most used programs to the taskbar and then use them nearly every day w/o using the start menu that much on a regular basis. Thus automated measures would show what MS is claiming. However they only looked at what people where doing and at the numbers of how many times they were doing things not at why or how they were doing things.
Also I'd bet there are a few in power who made the decision who are unwilling to relent because that would mean they were wrong, and such persons are never wrong.
How? Here's an example:
0. You dump several tonnes of industrial waste into the local water supply, harming tens of thousands for a small increase in your own profits.
0. You park where there was a no-parking sign.
0. You decide to buy a souvenir at the national museum gift shop.
It isn't a criminal when someone in-power does it. It may truly be a crime, but it will never be criminal unless they are very sloppy for very unlucky.
I suspect that "whitecollar" crime is just as prevalent in more affluent communities if not more so as you climb the social ladder. Those that get to the top are often the best cheaters besides being the best innovators.

Almost certainly against the EULAs of most companies. At best you are renting those online games now.
Yeah but you won't get to use those skills without that paper in many cases.
Figure out what the algorithms are looking for and troll them with false positives.
I think he is forgetting a lot of biological imperative to spread ourselves around.
If we take the effort to get off this rock and settle any single habitation anywhere else once we will do it again.
Actually, yes.

Not really.

Indeed. You could argue that any food with dna is opensource as the "source code" or dna/rna is included in every cell of the food item.

So what does Nvidia pay for you to post this? Or do you work for another company shilling 3d?
No it isn't. The largest BSD distro is Machintosh!

A command line is a line of text that is input for a command.
How is that not a line of text that is taken as input for a command?

Probably not.

There three ways that your 1 and 2 are not taxes.
Bill also thought the Internet was just a passing fad.
Tablets will become standard items in classrooms. Just like PCs and whiteboards.
How they will be integrated is still up for debate. Especially in earlier schooling tablets are still in the gadget phase.
It isn't a criminal when someone in-power does it. It may truly be a crime, but it will never be criminal unless they are very sloppy for very unlucky.
Ok higher "violent" "blue collar" crime.
I suspect that "whitecollar" crime is just as prevalent in more affluent communities if not more so as you climb the social ladder. Those that get to the top are often the best cheaters besides being the best innovators.
I suspect that it is actually the opposite.
Higher Crime rates generally correlate with higher poverty levels. Those who are poor have a greater need for hope thus a benevolent god.
Those in lower-crime areas have hope and thus might attune to the higher contrast of a vindictive deity.
