I did this sort of thing for a class project with Audacity. The person I was working with constantly flubbed their lines, so I had to stitch their lines together using things they didn't screw up until I had completed lines. It's really not hard, this just automates the process.
Just because you can't see an immediate need for something doesn't mean that it's not there. I don't get why people in cities get huge trucks, but I'm sure they have their reasons. I get unlimited data, not because I run around streaming movies, but because every now and then I need to not get dinged for every gigabyte over, especially when the gigabytes start climbing. It's fine if you don't want or can't offer unlimited data, but don't tell people they're wrong when they say they want or need unlimited data.
Most phone companies play follow the leader, and if Apple releases a 4" phone, that might bring about the end of this phablet stupidity, especially if the phone isn't gimped in any way.
Except for when you need to get across town in a reasonable time, if you need to get somewhere on the weekends or after five on weekdays, or when your bus runs late and the next bus doesn't come for half an hour, or when service gets rerouted due to construction. It may work for many people, but for many others it's insufficient.
Wouldn't this just end up punishing the poor more than people with big cars? People who do not have a lot of money might not be able to get the most efficient/clean cars, and those who can afford more efficient cars would just pay the fees and keep their nice big car anyway.
You might think that they were different markets, but in 2013, they stated that the SpaceShipTwo was capable of launching 100 satellites daily. Seeing as they have yet to get the thing into space in the first place while others have launched satellites successfully and their competition is looking to get into manned craft themselves, things are not looking good for them. Similarly, the tech they're using (rubber and plastic based solid fuel rockets) doesn't seem to be very efficient compared to current technology. The Concorde flew at supersonic speeds because it was more efficient for it to do so, but modern aircraft don't because advances in the old designs caused them to become more efficient. It's certainly a neat idea, but I don't really see the technology they're using filtering down to casual aviation.
Unfortunately, they've already lost. It's a cute idea that they have, giving 'spaceflights' to tourists with a wad of cash burning a hole in their pocket, but considering SS1 only just got to space and SS2 killed someone and has yet to get there, I don't see them as a competitor. The only reason they're on the map at all is because they just barely got a private astronaut to space. Their competition is running resupply flights for NASA and launching the satellites they claimed they would be doing by now. This is just the desperate wheezes for attention by a company still trying to pimp their vaporware.
Whenever I use something that connects to my network that I ordered direct from China, as a rule-of-thumb I don't let anything to or from it cross my router. I have a specific access point for anything wireless, and ports on my managed switch for anything wired.
I keep hearing about how researchers are making faster and faster short-range wireless connections, but I can't remember any time they were able to put their research into practice. It would be neat if they were to incorporate it into the Bluetooth spec. As it is now, I either have to deal with a hit-or-miss wired connection with MTP, or an agonizingly slow Bluetooth FTP session.
This would be a great opportunity to show off what a great editor you are, and update this article with this link where the Fine Bros. announced they are backing off their trademark claims since they announced it too early.
I've got a couple Network-of-Things lightbulbs, specifically miLights, that allow me to change the brightness and color temperature. They use a sort of hub to connect to the network, which in turn lets Tasker control them. Do I need them? Certainly not. Do they make mornings far more pleasant by slowly ramping the light up in brightness and color temperature? Yes, they do. Are they connected to the internet? Absolutely not. When I set them up, I specifically set my router to not allow any traffic from the hub or to the hub to cross it at any time. Does the bulb work just fine in this configuration? You bet. It doesn't need to connect to the internet to work, so I don't let it. Same thing with my Edimax smart plugs. In the future, however, these kinds of things may not work without an internet connection, despite really only being useful locally. When you go out and buy a new Mr. Coffee, even if you don't want or ever use the smart feature, the only way to get it to brew would be to connect it to the internet. Then when you go to sue them because the security on it is atrocious and your network gets hacked, you're stuck because there's an arbitration clause. This is what they're concerned about, not something superficial like 'my lightbulb won't go anymore'.
The most identifying piece amongst the people I talked to is fonts. Fonts are what made my browser completely unique in Panopticlick. Are there tools that will either hide your font list from trackers or produce a random one each time so it's harder to keep a fingerprint on you?
This is actually pretty awesome. People like Tsunku who have lost their voice to cancer or other diseases now have hope of regaining their voice. Now all we need is a surgery to actually put this to use
I've been saying for a while that I'd pay $5-10 a month to not hear those commercials about gastrointestinal distress or bladder issues, but this is even better!
If I recall correctly, TSMC is number one, and either Samsung or Global Foundries is number two. Pretty sure it's Samsung, sing Global FOundries has been having issues getting 14nm working.
Someone should devise a filter for various game servers that preemptively prevents them from joining and poisoning a community.
Better yet, pen them up with their own and watch the chaos from a safe distance.
I seem to recall GOG doing similar tracking down of rights. They also try to get the promo stuff as well, with manuals and code wheels and such. They also do it for games that they haven't tracked down the rights for, too, in case one day they track down the rights and can sell it. A lot of people say that they just set up a DOSBox profile and are done with it, but I seem to recall they also go through with debuggers and see how to disable old forms of DRM that won't work (eg CD detection).
Just get a pile of AMD cards. Doesn't even matter what model they are as long as they're the same generation (and even then AMD's kinda given up on that). It'll make it easier to set them up as one giant monitor, and you won't get frustrated by running into architecture/power issues.
I'm still rocking a Phenom II x6, and in Linux when I have the CPU governor set to 'conservative' or something similar, it'll drop to 800 Mhz like it's nothing, and shed 40 watts of power consumption. Stock clock for it is 2.4 Ghz, but it'll go up to 3.5 Ghz just fine if I don't put it into sleep mode. How, then, is this such a big deal? Just because it's mobile?
If you really wanted to make it stop, there's a single blob of Javascript that does the redirection. I wouldn't know how to do it, but it seems the variable(or array or object, I don't know what it is in JS) 'de.bild.cmsKonfig' contains the actual redirection URL. I imagine a userscript designed to set that to null would render their anti-adblocking useless.
On my HTC One (M7), the emergency dialer is not the stock Android dialer, and when you try to highlight the text to copy it, it tells you that it's not an emergency number and therefore the call wasn't sent. Same with the unlock screen: you can't paste text into it. I imagine the only phones that could be susceptible to this are the ones who are very close to stock Android, and since they are close to stock Android, they won't be vulnerable due to the new way Android updates are handled (every part of the system sans kernel is an app that can be updated).

News flash? Time to censor it!

I'm guessing eBay went in and slapped them to prevent it from crawling back to them, or the seller closed shop and is waiting for it all to blow over.

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but this seems to be exactly what GOG has been doing for years. Are they remaking them?

Aw, wish I hadn't posted. I would all my modpoints to you.
