Good to see something truly useful done with drones. What I do wonder is: won't poachers be able to shoot those things right out of the sky or would they fly too high for that.
I can now imagine poachers with rocket launchers. o_O
Don't worry, they're putting them out here in Europe as well. Holland's biggest airport (Schiphol Amsterdam) has had a pilot I think. Not sure if they still use them, but they probably will.
Unless you have a set price for your 3G connection, like many countries/carriers have. I know here in Finland they do that. And in the Netherlands as well. Guess that'll be changing in the coming years, but for now you pay one amount and not per meg.
Well, clicking one of the links in the summary brings you to a page on the Fring website, which explains what is going on and that "Since its foundation in 2006, fring’s rich mobile communications have been available to both fring users and open 3rd party networks including GoogleTalk, SIP, Twitter and, until now, Skype."
You haven't been paying attention, really, have you?:) They're not opening up their app store for 3rd party software. I believe this was mentioned on/. 1 or 2 days ago, maybe. Or rather when asked they said something like "we might in the case that there is a situation where it is desirable to possibly have an opportunity like this that we may or may not perhaps consider blablablabla..." Which essentially meant "Nope", or else they would've just said so.
[offtopic]Great, but how about they start hurrying up with making their MP3 downloads available worldwide? And update their mp3 album downloader for openSUSE (which is for 10.3)? Those 2 things would make me an Amazon customer.
One big "advantage" of Silverlight over JavaScript and DHTML would be... hold on... Don't shoot me for this, I'm just the messenger... Here we go: DRM!
First it took them a while to have their album downloader for Linux. Now, several distros are supported (though the suse 10.3 won't work on 11.0, they need to update their downloads). But without the downloader, you can still buy individual songs. If you have a US credit card... So how long 'til they reach the entire world with their DRM free music downloads? I'm finally willing to buy music again, let me buy it.:/
Actually, some of those reports corrected themselves: it actually WAS about licenses that were not paid (like for technology in MP3 decoding). Like Meizu: their miniOne M8 was back on display, but their models that could actually do something (like play MP3's) were taken and not given back.
Just like many other things. Long live the 'we prefer you wouldn't but if you do, we won't do shit about it' (better known as "gedoogbeleid" or "we're too weak to uphold the law") policy.

Same thing: they have "distanced themselves" from WikiLeaks, apparently.
Doh, good point. >_

I wonder which mobile provider sponsored this study. :)
Hmmm, which mobile provider has sponsored this study? :)
Specifically Spotify: because it's only available in a few countries, duh.
Since you want to know: it's from Penny Arcade: The Series. Don't know if they took it from somewhere else.

I'm thinking this will be just as huge a problem as the y2k bug was. Hold on to everything you can and... only some minor issues pop up.

Nope, haven't noticed. The Google results work perfectly fine for me and I use it a lot for different kinds of searches (private and work related).
Dutch news site says claims that it's China's Great Wall of Fire causing the issues in for example the US and Chile.

So the article is saying that in some fields of programming it might be better to have good math skills? That's pretty ground breaking.........

Hope I remember correctly now... :)
If this is the longest one lasting, then how come the Philips led 'bulb' I have says 20 years?

Except that you shouldn't type "h" with your left hand, my friend. :P

Russian I was getting for a while, as well. Not anymore. /dev/null for anything with charset koi8-r or windows-1251.
CNN I was getting for a few days. Seems to have disappeared again.
So the BBC has something to do with this as well, eh?...
