Amazon has bricks and mortar in a lot of places, so of course they have to collect there. It's one of the reasons I buy a lot of stuff at other online retailers.
So while the state-tax issue helps Amazon, it's also helping a number of mom-n-pop online resellers.
If you have done something to totally drop security on your magic data port, then something you connect to that port that you do not understand can pwn your gifs.
Pretty simple really.
Same deal with flying. You're okay until someone lets the snakes loose.
No it isn't. Not without some mod to the old port to keep the connector from falling out.
The bigger issue I see is that a round plug prevents strain when the cord or plug is twisted. With this you're going to put a lever into your uber-expensive device, and either plugs will get broken off or cases will be sprung open.
So the solution should have been something like a micro-USB shape, rather than this torque multiplier.
Add about 99 more 9's to that decimal. Godel and the Big Bang leave holes in mathematics and reality. But those holes aren't big enough to hold a crumb of the Eucharist, much less the Vatican's trillion-dollar art collection.
There's nothing but evidence against it. Everything here is explainable without resort to mysticism. The only thing not explainable what there was before the universe.
So, if any intelligent being ever existed and created the universe, it is long gone. it's certainly not grading your life choices and waiting for you to die so he can give you wings and a harp, and struggling with antipodal deities for your immortal soul.
The only reason religion is "believed in" is a lot of people are uneducated, ignorant, dumb, or liars.
LCDs use polarization, in that they align and dis-align polarity to make a pixel turn on and off.
But there will only be waste in large areas of black screen. In an image with a more even distribution of pixel states the light will bounce around until it finds a pixel that's on, and come out there.
There's probably a lot of waste light that could be scavenged.
Otherwise, yes, this thing ignores the fact that right now the back of every LCD is highly reflective to get the most brightness out of the screen.
But most of us turn the brightness down, so maybe there's an excess. But in order to get the brightness and the energy scavenging, we'd have to turn it up. Thus generating more energy just to boost a line on a graph, one that's probably less efficient a method of saving energy than just turning the brightness down and using a mirrored backplane.
Meanwhile, scavenging light from the environment was cool 10-15 years ago when watches first got it.
If you were God, you would be somewhat more powerful than you are, hence you are not God. Ergo, by your own logic, you must not be the only conscious entity in the universe.
And yes, it is categorically irrational to believe in God. There's 0 evidence for it. "There are things we can't explain" is evidence of ignorance, not of a highly specific*, anthropomorphic, psychopathic representation of the entire organizing priniciple of the universe. And "ya gotta have faith" is a good George Micheal song, but not much more.
* - well, highly specific to each person who believes, slightly less specific to each of the 30,000 different groups of people claiming to have a belief system that is true while all the others are not.

Borders? Computer Library? They're still fucked.
All these little demons are sitting at the foot of Exxon-Mobil. There's a universe of evil that is far more evil than can be written in a book.
Yes, but see how they worded the threat?

The court is of course correct. It's illegal for government to promote religion, but not illegal for it to promote science.
How do I do ctrl-F in Android?
Make the box lid a flap rather than a slide?
Two-headed matches?
Sell re-heading kits?

So you made autotuned pop music interesting by analyzing it here. Because otherwise it's pointless shite.
You live in a world where more than 1% of music gets less interesting if you analyze it?
Too many low-scoring letters.
Scrabblers' wet dreams are words like quixotry and zymurgy.
O rly?
Did you read the second paragraph of my post?

Which makes 99% of music more interesting.
It's been a long time since I've had to see words as individual letters to understand them, even if they were unfamiliar.

you think linux can't be hacked. that's so cute.
They don't have any gaming users because they don't have any gaming.
But they seem to be pwning Mark Zuckerberg all day long.
Well, Facebook has no FACE!
One court order later, it will be.
And there's no fighting in the war room.
Mod parent up. He's a l4m3r.
