probably are loitering around, but one thing to bear in mind is that in an area like that under intense S&R ops then any government should notify what they're doing to all parties, to avoid polluting the area with false echoes etc . More importantly If one government has subs in the area, then others will and pretty much all they end up doing is tracking each other to improve their skills/get latest data on acoustic signatures etc. etc. And the more accurate surface ships may get orders behind the scenes to pay more attention to the subs than the search.
Following your argument (that teachers generally aren't able to teach, if I read correctly) to the obvious extreme, why don't we just do away with schools completely as they're obviously pointless. Really?
Not just in battle. Storage is expensive and having to keep multiple spares of every single part in stock at the operating base is expensive - the RAF aim for just-in-time provisioning with parts moved forward just as they're expected to break (based on failure rates and supply history). The aircraft can be on detachment anywhere and it's expensive to ship every single part that might be needed to the temporary detachment location. so, as things break like this there's generally a delay in providing (and a cost in shipping) replacements. consider as well, that an aircraft may have to land away from its parent base either because of failures, or land for some other reason but have a failure whilst there - as the technology improves, having 3D printers on hand just makes sense In years gone by, stations had well manned engineering shops where replacement (even temporary) parts could be made up, but as manpower is reduced and parts become more complex/have tighter tolerances then these 3D printers will show their worth.
not too sure why this is a surprise, and the actual approach a mystery. Back around the launch of windows 8, AMD announced a tie-up with bluestacks to add support for android apps into windows via appzone. http://www.amd.com/us/vision/shop/cool-apps/Pages/androidapps.aspx
If anyone's expecting booting to android, or even a virtual machine to run a tablet in a window, then I expect they'll be wrong. It seems apparent that this will just run android apps alongside other RT apps. I don't know if this will be via appzone (which doesn't seem to require an amd processor) or another similar suite
they don't need 'rescuing' the ship needs freeing from the ice, but the ship is perfectly safe, the crew and passengers healthy, and enough supplies to last a good time yet. If anything happens and any emergency evacuation is needed then there is helicopter rescue in place.
And what does Bing maps use? Navteq, which remains owned by Nokia (not the phone division sold to MS)
I remain convinced that the MS Nokia partnership worked out well for both (separate) companies. If nokia had gone google (android) would their other properties be in such a good position?
.... and do what, become yet another also-ran along with the multitude cowering in Samsung's shadow? By choosing an alternative, nokia was able to sell on a lot of its services (mapping etc) that it wouldn't have been able to do if it went with Android. Nokia retains that, and it makes a lot of money for them - and now has a lot more marketshare than before. If they'd started using android, it would have been hard work convincing the other manufacturers to use their stuff over googles own. The remainder of Nokia not sold to MS is arguably in a better position by choosing to partner with MS.
Thorsten Heins is free at the moment. Not being entirely funny by thinking he'd do a good job, he'd inherited a problem and his actions, though ultimately futile, probably helped extend BBs life and put them in a better position to recover.
Yes, you're absolutely spot on. Symbion was heading downwards - the whole point of the 'burning platform' i.e. they were concentrating on developing something without seeing it was slowly burning away around them, and that the time spent continuing on this path meant a long path to turn it around (and in some areas they are).
Dunno about typical but I and many people I know have had one for around 3yrs. tbh, unless the screen is damaged I can see it going on for some time yet
I think you're right on Albion, which was a big disaster which hurried in a few H&S changes. I can't find any reference to the controlled break of tethers - but it's one of those things that I remember being described to me so either one of those things that gets passed along but never actually happens, or nobody deems it worth mentioning. I'm with you on this one though.
Incidentally, I found this http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/06/this-is-what-happens-when-you-launch-a-massive-ship-sideways-and-dont-get-out-of-the-way/ which is another good example of the forces at work in a launch, and you can understand how a gantry piled high with people could easily get torn away.
"so somehow, LinkedIn basically dumped his entire address book without his permission and started spamming everyone on it."
When signing up, and at random periods, linkedin asks you if you would like to have it trawl through your address book and automatically add people. It then prompts you to input your email address and password for the mail service. This is the same service that was on Slashdot recently as somebody was launching a class action suit for hacking their accounts. It's pretty clear what they're asking for, and I'm sorry but your friend did give his permission and account details; linkedin didn't just 'somehow' leech it from his phone or laptop.
Not to take anything away from the principle underlying the anecdote, but SS Great Britain was launched at the Bristol Docks with nothing of great note occurring (apart from getting wedged in the lock leading to the Avon)
There's a bunch of countries in the world with Presidents. I have no fucking idea which one Barrack Obama runs. How bout throwing us a bone and just telling us which country we're talking about
It really needs to be consistently applied, don't you think - there's often a reference to something particularly USian that needs further research. Either concede that it's going to be necessary sometimes, given the nature of a summary, or give the full background detail for all regardless of if it originates in the US
Yes to the first, no to the second (I think it's a uniquely American thing, to hand over credit cards to anyone to take away, and often unsigned? Or maybe I just watch too much TV - do you really do that?)
And my point was that if my provider had two services - email and credit card storage, of which I may be happy to trust and use both - and then one day, as the parent states, a new 'attach money' option appeared then I'd be wary. It sounds like there was no option and whilst I may trust both services independently I'd like the option to decide if I wanted to link the two. Therefore the provider isn't winning my confidence.
the decision to not hand over my card details was not available as I was already using the service that, until that point, remained separate. Of course, as I said in my opening statement - there may be other safeguards that would make me think differently but in the presented scenario I'd be concerned.
I don't know about you, but if my email provider suddenly added an 'attach money' option and stored my card details I'd be thinking of moving to another provider that didn't integrate everything. I'm sure there's more checks and balances and probably a 'verified by visa' stage each time (please god, I hope so). But my gut feeling is not good on that one.
It does look as if google have some good systems in place to detect hijacks, but the sheer amount of 'my gmail account has been hijacked" tales you hear don't add up to a warm fuzzy. At least with the system here (and the Canadian forebearer) they're separate entities.

don't know about that, android seems to be a big seller.
The only thing now is that facebook is providing a direct authentication return to the access point, currently cisco and Meraki (not mentioned in the summary) and no doubt coming to Aerohive, Aruba etc very soon . They're just making it easier to configure without a third party or your own coding. The only thing is that then is your only social login mechanism, most social login providers give the option of the major players (google, facebook, twitter etc) and some internal mechanism. so a retrograde step
all the comments above speculating on capturing demographic data, posting or checking in on your behalf etc is moot - it's already available and being used effectively
... yet we have no epidemic of people vomiting while playing video games.
There's a multitude that feel sick playing certain games, as another poster pointed out above - what's a trigger for one individual may be perfectly ok for another who is sensitive to another motion. It's been noted for years, but it's now just like car sickness - you don't hear it reported every time someone feels sick in a car now. I have a friend who definitely does throw up when retrying FPS and finally gave up; so most people just know and don't buy/play the game - but in this case the cause of the symptoms has been pushed onto a device they may have been using happily for a while with no ill-effects. Definitely news worthy?
In an appropriate turn of events, it's been reported now because the effects are, for the first time, being used extensively "... on a mobile device"

I think that's exactly what parent was saying, school shootings are selective and not indiscriminate. So, correct on #2

Really? There's so many inaccuracies it'd be easier to say what you'd got right in that post..... erm, that's it.
Then usual answer is NO.

Following your argument (that teachers generally aren't able to teach, if I read correctly) to the obvious extreme, why don't we just do away with schools completely as they're obviously pointless. Really?
Just saying, some of the comments on here are frankly disgusting and, surprisingly, not all just AC.

Not really a new idea, using facebook likes or check-ins to allow wifi access has been a feature of many captive portals for a while now.
