Actually I have a Nexus 10, Nexus 7, and my current phone is a MotoX. Yes I have. Google mail does not seem like a blown up phone app to me. Play Store, Play Music, Play book, and Youtube all work really well on my tablet. Yes I have been using Android Tablets for a while and they work just fine as do the apps I use.
The US biological program was pretty well known. The US ended the offensive part of it unilaterally in 1969 and and all the weapons were destroyed by 1972. Thanks to President Nixon.
Can I point out that the NSA is only doing what the current administration tells them to do and that it is President Obama that has not pardoned him and is pushing for his arrest?
You are such a silly person. Marxism And Objectivism both saw themselves as a way to make people's lives better. They like every Utopian idea leads to creating a hell for those that do not fit in. Even the Star Trek Federation Utopia as creepy as hell when you look at it. The idea of locking mentally ill people on an isolated planet is just creepy as hell. Only when you are young and lack wisdom, just a fool, or a narcissist do look on any utopian ideal with anything more than mild interest or amusement. Or to put it simply beware of the man with a plan.
Actually yes. 1. You probably had roads. 2. With a compass you can tell direction. 3. You have a good idea how far you go each day 4 You go in the direction you are pointed. You do not have a drift like you do on water.
Dead reckoning or simple IFR works well.
IFR in this case means "I follow roads" or maybe back then I follow trails. or even I follow rivers. Back then navigating on water was much harder than on land.
Because maker is frankly an annoying marketing term. Look at old Popular Science, Popular Mechanics,and or Radio/Electronics magazines from the 40 to the 70s and you will see all sorts of projects. Look at the computer magazines like Byte, Computer, and Creative Computing from the 70s and 80s and you will see lots of hardware projects and lots of code. Ham radio and the EAA are two examples of communities that were making things far before anyone used the term Maker. Harrison is not a maker because he was a professional craftsman. He was a clockmaker and inventor. The term maker does not apply because it did not exist at that time. I like it that people are getting into creating and tinkering more and more. The marketing hype that goes with it is what gets to me. The idea that this is somehow a new thing is a really annoying thing. To me it is more of an over hyped return to a normal way of life vs the mid 80-2000s it just cheaper to buy one way of life.
Everyone must get along, we must all work together. The loaner is a danger to society because they chose not to fit in. The individual doesn't matter. No one is better than anyone else. It seems like instructions from Marx or a warning from Ryand.
DCMA or not it will not matter. They will just encrypt the code on the flash and keep the key in a secure element. A lot of new controllers offer a quad spi interface to external ram that is encrypted. If you don't have the key you're out of luck.
Year of Linux on the Desktop if you count ChromeOS.
I have been reading about super batteries since the 70s... Lithium ion is really good but we are going to need at least an order of magnitude improvement for it to work at the utility scale.
When is it ever dark and windless at the same time across the USA? It happens about as often as EVERY SINGLE NUCLEAR POWER GENERATOR is offline at the same time.
Actually no. It is often dark and with wind speeds below practical output from around 4 am PST to 5 am. With wind the wind can not be too low or too high. With solar you can not have clouds, rain, or fog.
When you build a renewable system that can generate the same power 24 hours a day for a year without using a natural gas backup as Vermont Yankee did I will believe it. We have a benchmark now just meet it.
Wow you are just an idiot. Writing a fixed point library is not hard but do you know what is even easier? Googling it and finding on of the free accounting or fixed point libraries for javascript. Creating a simple fixed point library is not that hard. It is not like he was being asked to write an OS, compiler, or interpreter which is much closer to your crazy analogies.
Just google Malone tuners and the fact that VW makes a sport version called the GTD in the EU. You can get lots of performance parts for the VW TDI of all generations.
Actually a google search will show several fixed point and even accounting javascript libraries. It is not like fixed point libraries have not been written again and again.
" I was not given a javascript library that knew how to handle financial values." You're a programer so write one. "Javascript doesn't support integer-only values, so you're doing financial calculations with floating point roundoffs and errors. " You're a programer so write one. Really just make a fixed point object or even a BCD object for the project.
"Sorry, for the sake of the human species, these people should be allowed to remove themselves from the reproductive population." Too late. I fear that most are already past their prime reproductive years.
Interest on the loans to build the factory runs 24/7 365 and depending on the location. Let's take Fort Myers FL. A location known for sunny days. Average sunny days a year including partly sunny days is only 259. That would mean that on average you would be down 27% of the time. http://www.currentresults.com/... BTW I picked the best city in Florida. At the extreme end you have Yuma AZ, with 313 days a year. That gives you 14% downtime which is still 2 orders of magnitude greater than your 10ths of a percent. So even at Yuma you are talking about a downtime of around 75% vs 24/7/365 You could of course use mandatory downtime maintenance but you are also assuming a zero startup time and shutdown time which I do not think is accurate. Then throw in the higher cost of solar vs natural gas and nuclear.
"It's not outside of the realm of possibility that we will find much cheaper ways to store electricity overnight for a couple of days with decent round trip efficiency either. "
No it is not but it is unlikely. People have been working on this problem for many decades so a huge breakthrough is not very likely.
Molten Salt reactors and Thorium breeder reactors have been build and work. A molten salt thorium breeder reactor is just combining two technologies that have already been tested.
They also lack the payload and speed of the F-111. Frankly if the USAF remanufactured the F-111s they way they did the B-52 and replaced the TF-30s with F110s they would still be a good aircraft.
The A-29 is in now way "inspired: by WWII in anyway, shape, or form. In WWII you did not have COIN aircraft at all. The ground attack aircraft used by the US where in large part fighters the USAC found that single engine attack aircraft were not as flexible as fighters like the P-47. 51, and 38. The navy did have the SDB, TBM, but for close support the F4F, F6F, and F4U where king. The only thing WWII about the A-29 is that it has a prop. Guess what lots of airplanes still use props. Most WWII aircraft where taildraggers, "with a few exceptions" while the A-29 uses tricycle gear. All combat aircraft in WWII used piston engines while the A-29 uses a turboprop! Frankly the whole story is bollocks from start to finish but the headline is still pure manure.

I have a nexus 10 and I do not have an issue with the apps being blown up phone apps. The apps are fine IMHO.
However does this mean ChromeOS is dead?

Actually in my experience those that are the most mediocre have the least patience for other mediocre people.
Actually yes.

Get over it. You're wrong. BTW their are a good number of fixed point and accounting libraries available.
A programmer's job is to program.
The current VW TDIs are not the old slow diesels that you remember. As I said in the EU VW even makes a GTI with a diesel called the GTD.
Just google Malone tuners and the fact that VW makes a sport version called the GTD in the EU.
You can get lots of performance parts for the VW TDI of all generations.

It is not like fixed point libraries have not been written again and again.
"People who are buying VW Diesels are performance obsessed?"
Yes a good number are.

You're a programer so write one.

Well I think that unfortunately and Hitler are often used in the same statement.
