Make sure you check your decision with your daughter before you buy it. Many people are very picky about what device they want to use. You would probably choose something she does not want to use. Maybe you should just ask your daughter to select a phone and just help here with figuring out if it will work in Scotland.
Only part of it came from SQLLite. Other functions came from libfann (Fast Artificial Neural Network Library). I was rather impressed they used code from a neural network, that is completely in line with the story. Good Job, (R)Evolution.
You have obviously never visited an American supermarket. European consumer protection has created a fairly high base level for quality. American supermarkets sell a lot of crap that Aldi & Lidl would not be allowed to sell in Europe.
Sorry, but the excuse that it's "not because they're gay but because they're speading gay propaganda" line is simply bullshit.
The law (which I do not necessarily support) forbids people from spreading a specific kind of propaganda to minors.
It's not a specific kind of propaganda. Any expression of a 'non-traditional sexuality", like holding hands in public, is considered "propaganda to minors". Any kind of parade or demonstration has been outlawed.
Many companies lease cars to their employees. They could include some kind of battery-sharing deal in the contract. This may actually lower the price of owning the cars as they can be seen as part of the power system.
I don't now anything about Scandinavian taxes but over here in the Netherlands the excise tax is based on the amount of alcohol, not the untaxed price of the beverage. This makes cheap booze relatively more expensive. It's about 45 cents for a liter of wine. For a 5 euro bottle of wine the tax would be 10% of the total, while the price of 50 euro bottle only includes 1% of tax.
(Note that there are other taxes involved besides the excise and one has to pay tax on the alcohol-tax).
In The Netherlands supermarkets have been charging for plastic bags for ages. However, most also provide cardboard boxes for free. They would have to pay to dispose of them so giving them away to customers is mutually beneficial.
No, never in my life have I hurt an animal for my own entertainment. Sure, I've squashed bugs that were in the wrong place at the wrong time but never for entertainment. Although I have to admit that my pet rabbit probably suffered more from my love than the flies suffered from your torture. Another counter-point would be that I eat meat and in our society meat (and food in general) is more entertainment than nourishment, but that's stretching it.
There is a solid problem with mobile devices on airplanes but it has nothing to with flying itself. Cellphone towers have a hard time dealing with 300 people zipping by at high speed. Before the handover of the signal is completed the plane has already reached the next tower. This leaves the tower with hundreds of dangling connections using up capacity. A few seconds later the next one passes by before the tower had the time to clean out the old connections.
This goes way beyond mere advertising. It also involves the price you pay and which products are available in shops near you. Restaurants may increase the price of their meals if they know you are very hungry, it's unlikely that you will leave once you have been seated. Cigaret-vendors will lower their prices if they figure out you are trying to quit. The old adagium "Knowledge is power" still holds.
Those attacks are still going on. This exploit does not require DNSSEC, but the large size of DNSSEC records makes it much more effective. Some DNS servers have implemented rate limiting to deal with this problem.
Be that as it may, Mega and Bitcoin are on the cutting edge of both technology and politics. Even though their direct impact may be small, they are a looking glass for what the future may look like. Decisions made today may have large legal ramifications in the near future.
$500 stove with 10 year lifespan, assuming 2 meals cooked per day = 6.8 cents per meal. $100 of pots and pans with a 20 year lifespan, assuming 2 meals cooked per day = 0.7 cents per meal. $50 set of plates and utensils with a 20 year lifespan, assuming 3 meals eaten per day = 0.23 cents per meal.
You will have to spend $650 upfront before you can prepare your first meal. That's too much for those below the poverty line. Sure, you will save money in the long run, but the start-up cost is prohibitive.
SIDN (the maintainer of.nl) offers a small discount to domains that use DNSSEC. This was sufficient motivation for a few large hosting companies to enable DNSSEC across all their domains. In just a few days a fifth of all Dutch domains switched over. By now 26% of the.nl domains (1.381.790 out of 5.153.408) use DNSSEC.
From what I've seen things have finally started moving. Obviously there are about three sides: the servers, the users and the backbone network between those networks.
Many hosting companies now offer IPv6 by default but most customers don't use it yet. Only very few consumers have IPv6 at home. Even fewer have IPv6 at there workplace. The only exception being a small number of universities and tech companies. The graphs of my local internet exchange show that the daily peaks are around 9PM which supports the view that most IPv6 users are consumers. Whenever a large party like Facebook or Youtube turns on IPv6 there is an immediate jump in traffic.
Over the last year the number of sites that offers IPv6 has grown significantly, double or even triple from only a few months ago.
IPv6 is growing on all bases and things are starting to come together.

I guess this is the ISP that says "Sorry, we won't censor your internet, look somewhere else."
I just tried it but something is not working.

Something is horribly broken here.
That's "free" as in "freedom", not as in "free beer".

Aldi Lidl quality products
lolwut?

The obvious solution is that those that design and operate the traffic light systems should not be the ones that profit from the fines.

What's the difference? Most supercomputers are in fact a cluster of more or less normal computer parts.
In The Netherlands supermarkets have been charging for plastic bags for ages.
However, most also provide cardboard boxes for free. They would have to pay to dispose of them so giving them away to customers is mutually beneficial.
The first word of the summary is a link explaining exactly what Docker is. Click it!
Just like it's reasonable to expect that one day thieves will break into your house and steal your TV.
It doesn't make it right.
But China does not call itself "China". Zhong Guo means "the middle/central country".
That is like saying that the United States are a part of the United Kingdom as both refer to themselves as "United".
It must be just like Slashdotters watching IT-Crowd. They would hate it!

I'm usually against advertising but in this case it is acceptable:

These guys do DNSSEC and IPv6 for a reasonable price.
Unfortunately their website is in Dutch, that might be a showstopper for you.
