There is a cap except if you agree to a higher charge. This just stops them from automatically charging you outrageous fees based on fine print rather than explicit consent.
In your Brazil example, you'd have a teeny cap, then a window would pop up, "From this point on, Brazil charges $700/Gigabyte. Do you accept?"
Ya forget it with Mindstorm if you wanna do a hex or octobot. You'd have to buy many extra motors, and the brick can't handle that many physically, even if internally the I2C addressing supports it. I think there are 3rd party expansion boards, but at this point I would go full hobbyist and get a kit with sensors, legs, and motors.
Oh, don't forget your genius to invent something a little better than fancy remote control.
Kennedy probably did this out of some residual founding father/libertarian impulse. The three ohers out of a liberal freedom impulse.
If the issue had been different, say, 20 years from now the government wants to force you to give it your DNA for medical analysis to cut government singlr-payer medical costs, anyone wanna bet on their, or their descendants', relative positions?
Nobody wants to recognoze anybody else having claims there because of potential massive resource extraction. At some point in the future, countries which claomed part or all of Antarctica would have internationally-recognized rights.
I think elected officials should have live feed AV cameras attached to their bodies 24/7. Yes, even when pooping or having marital (or other) relations.
It's the only way to stop the backroom deals and power exchanges, which is why these people seek office in the first place.
No, I am serious. 100% coverage. This extends for 2 years before an election and 1 year after.
Slashdot has become politicized well beyond any normal nerditis. Perhaps they're fishing to see how egregious a behavior will get defended, or attacked, depending on which "side" the offender is on?
What's with you people? This doctor is the most fun of any since Tom Baker, and maybe even moreso.
I also like the general attitude (both his character and the show) that the Doctors is someone all the foes have learned to fear since he always beats their ass.
Well, I will miss him. I was pissed Amy left, but quite frankly Oswin was so spectacular she wasn't missed as much as I thought. In the best of cases, though, ripping apart these dynamics every few years is always rough on fans, but we keep plugging through.
The resolution to the "Impossible Girl" thread was underwhelming, but I've come to expect that from Who universe. The last two Torchwood series started with spectacular mysteries that ended up being not just mundane, but silly. But the ride up until that point was great.
Speaking of which, were they trying to suggest Oswin was really some of the other companions?
Lawyerly politicians whining about need for more STEM is exactly what both Heinlein, in Starship Troopers, and Niven, in The Mote In God's Eye were sarcastically describing.
In Starship Troopers (the book anyway), the bugs were non-sentient. But every time a colony was distressed, the workers bred this "brain bug", and then the problem would magically go away. Then the brain bug became irrelevant to it again.
In The Mote In God's Eye, the Moties are led by a political caste, with other castes obeying them, as they went about their political machinacions and wars. The Engineer caste was ungodly brilliant, but otherwise completely mute, and specifically he juxtaposed it against the yabbering schemes of the political class.
I hope some of you wake up to the memes of both parties guiding and directing you. You are disposable.
My point: This guy's bleat is a whine from the political class to come save them from their own idiocies, then shut the hell up once they take credit for breeding brain bugs to solve problems. Do it, but leave them in control.
Vernor Vinge gets even more sarcastic in A Deepness In The Sky, the sequel to the phenomenal A Fire Upon The Deep, wherein the bad guys use a drug that makes you find whatever it is impossibly seductive and pleasurable. If you do art, you will focus on it and produce world-class works. If science or engineering, phenomenal feats. And so on.
But you won't dream of resisting their control because you get to do what you want...that it's to your overlord's benefit doesn't enter into it.
By this time I was certain we'd all have a white wall with a fairly cheap DLP projector. You don't need the freaking LCD any more than the old bulky tube. That tech scales readily to more pixels and higher density (it's all lensing or focus, the "projector" pixels don't need to get smaller -- you just need more rows of 'em.)
For computers, sure, you can use separate screens. Not for your big TV though. I blame Texas Instruments. Thanks for inventing it, now go give it to the Chinese.
Ya that's what I heard, too, when you factor in manufacturing, even more benefit disappears, if not outright being worse.
Still, I would like to see real numbers. Slammng a bunch of metal and plastic together isn't much, but hundreds of pounds of exotic materials and chemicals? Different ballgame. Thousands of gallons of gas worth?

This stuff matters, people.
How in god's name do they dodge a bundred million patent lawsuits?

It was Eve Online, not My Little Pony Online.

It has, logically, indeed come down to this:
Come onnnnnnnnn, then!
I'm fine with that -- playful. I had never taken to a doctor that quickly before.

and some cheeseburgers,

No need to save face. Just regenerate and change it and don't tell anyone.
Ironic Oracle pushed and pushed Java into the mainstream so it would be in the mainstream. It's a little late for what they are doing now.

So the OP is bitching Google is like the Empire offering rewards that people like Boba Fett go after? I don't even
A major crime...like someone's death...before this incident?
Based on how this works, I've hashed out a method to spy on the president:
1. Sneak into the White House
2. Hide under the oval office desk.
3. Now the tricky part -- listen to conversations.

Also IIRC, in India some male star's junk was leaked almost immediately. Their procedures were probably different.
Well, the US does get its perverse puritan sexual values from England, not continental Europe, where women don't even own bikini tops.

Not to be confused with MMORPG avatars, giving voice to fat mens' inner lipstick lesbian.
I'd like to report a bug. I submit my taxes online, but don't get refund checks. Instead I keep getting certified nastygrams.
Clearly there's some major flaw going on.
Good job, Lithuania!
Wow. Just imagine all the good the old Soviet Union could have done with this technology!
