I was quite surprised to see Apple inventing the smartphone when I'd been using an HP Jornada PocketPC phone for some time at that point which was cheaper and could do far more than the iphone of the time,
I must say Einstein was by no means perfect though or right about everything (though he was one of the greatest minds the world has ever seen, I/might/ compare Hawking to him for example but there's not many who would measure up).
1: Called the cosmological constant 'his greatest blunder' but it turned out he was right all along
2: Refused to accept QE calling it 'Spooky action at a distance'
That said, when he said 2 I think he'd been boning Marilyn Monroe for a while so his mind was likely mostly on other things -.o;
It's to do with inputs not being sanitized AGAIN at a guess. wouldn't matter which SQL it was if the code was written by a crack addicted monkey with no concept of security (which apparently it was)
It's a private company.
While it may be that the government spies on what's going on with peoples use of it (Okay, post Snowden I don't need to hedge, they are) that is not Google's doing or exclusive to that particular company even.
Calling it a government spy apparatus seems a touch unfair. Is Facebook? Twitter?
You can already share your Steam library, I in fact do so. I imagine it'll work in much the same way, if someone else in your group is using the app, you won't be able to.
If you want to look for who is screwing over Venezuela, look no further than OPEC.
If your country exports mainly a single commodity and the price of said commodity drops like a stone it doesn't matter who is in power, you're screwed.
Not to mention wave particle duality.
That just reeks of rendering optimisation.
Only rendering fully the particles when they're being measured, otherwise average it out to save cpu time.
Eh, their formula works for spherical asteroids in a vacuum, what more do they want -.o;
(Seriously, you're never going to get perfection, we have the data we have, they're making the best guess they can based on it, if better data appears they'll certainly adjust their view.)
Soooo...
You're not autistic but want to speak for us and decide we need fixing?
I foresee a good job for you working in a particular 'charity'.
ADHD may have some comorbidity with autism but autism it aint. Do not think because you have a vaguely related condition and have consumed the NT cool aid that you can speak for us, you cannot.
Also, it might interest you to know that autistics can relate perfectly well to other autistic people and some NTs. (You know, the ones who aren't judgemental arseholes who think they can dictate what's right for us and what isn't from a position of privilege.)
Might I suggest that the next time you want to suggest 'fixing' autistic people by preventing them from being born you might mentally substitute gay for autistic first? that was in DSM at one point and it might give you a clue as to what an out of touch wanker you are.
Autistica are the British name for Autism Speaks.
They are a 'charity' staffed almost entirely by NTs. (they currently have two token autistic board members (out of 40))
They hoover up all the donations from well meaning people but spend only 3% of the money they get on actually helping autistic people. Of the rest, over 40% goes on eugenics research intended to wipe us out and most of the rest on advertising and fat salaries ($400K+ in some cases) for their directors.
They also make dehumanising videos about autism which completely misrepresent what it is (for example portraying meltdowns as the norm of autistic behaviour when in reality they're anything but) and are proponents of ABA, an abusive therapy which involves training children like dogs and results in depression, PTSD and worse.
Do not believe a damn word they say and ffs, don't give them any money. Give it to ASAN if you're in America or Autistic UK if you're in Britain, both organisations actually run by autistic people.
I'll answer this in the form of a picture -.o;

If it's setup or in the cabinet it works, the oldest one is the BBC Micro on the far right which is still in regular use.
It was common knowledge that we and the US would bypass restrictions on monitoring our own populations by monitoring the other and exchanging data. that went on for a very long time. of course today they just do what the hell they like and the law be damned.
To be fair, an apology was eventually issued and he's now been pardoned. After he's been dead over 50 years but better late than never.
Now how about pardoning everyone else convicted under those laws, some of whom are still alive.
I used to like the Graun but it's gone to hell in recent years.
This has been very notable since Corbyn's campaign started when they've been running attack articles pretty much daily.
It's got to the point I'm having to go to the Morning Star for balanced reporting...
Wow
So there are drug companies out there who/aren't/ out to gouge every last penny out of the sick, disabled and dying...
My faith in humanity just increased somewhat -.o
Just hope Imprimis can actually afford to supply everyone at that rate, they're probably taking a loss doing that.

Yeah, I'm in the UK, voted remain
It was mostly the very old who voted for Brexit, see this graph:

The lunar module got off the moon with not much thrust at all, look at the size of it compared to the whacking great rocket that got them there...
Doesn't take all that much to escape the moon actually, you don't need a rocket the size of one required to get off earth...
Aiming, fair enough though.
This has the usual problem.
It assumes an IP address can be traced to a particular user and only that user, this is not the case,
There could be openwireless.org nodes, Tor exit nodes, proxies, malware, badly secured/open access points or god knows what else.
The idea that an IP address is evidence of identity of the downloader has always been problematic at best.
Aye, I remember when the iPhone came out
I was quite surprised to see Apple inventing the smartphone when I'd been using an HP Jornada PocketPC phone for some time at that point which was cheaper and could do far more than the iphone of the time,
I can program in Z80 and 6502 assembly,
Rodnay Zaks deserves a great deal of thanks -.o;
You may mock but I cut my teeth on the 6502 and Z80 which weren't that much more advanced than this chip.
It's not what you have, it's how you use it -.o;
Wonder when someone is going to write a decent text editor for that OS.
You're absolutely right.

It has nothing to do with that either.

OpenVPN, Free
Okay, not exactly free but it's not going to bankrupt you either...
