That's what I thought when I read the summary as well. Tesla Model S P85D has a 0-60 time of 2.5 seconds. This porche appears to be designed to compete with the pre-P85D model S.
Tesla is so far ahead of everyone that even Porsche can't beat them in a performance sector that Tesla doesn't even really compete in.
Yes they are more popular and they have special connections in the Kremlin which is where this decision comes from. What they want is for the government to force Goolge to let them install some of Google's applications that they don't have equivalents for while allowing them to replace what they can. I would suggest Google tell them to go fuck themselves and in the process Android disappears from Russia and Yandex is destroyed.
See that's the kicker in this whole thing, Yandex is entirely dependent on Google to provide the OS, update it and provide the store. They want to replace certain parts with their apps. But Google does not allow their software to be loaded unless ALL of it is loaded and frankly there isn't a thing wrong with that. Android is free to use and Yandex can take it and do whatever they want with it. But that would mean hiring developers and engineers and doing the real heavy lifting that Google does and it would mean forgoing the Google servers entirely, including Google play.
Yandex wants the best of both worlds. One where they can utilize Googles software but replace all the profitable bits with their own. Basically a world where Google subsidizes them. Good luck with that. I doubt Russia is even a top 10 market for Google and they'd rather walk away from the market than empower a competitor. Then all the Russians will have left is Apple and Blackberry and Yandex will be proper fucked. I suspect this will work out as well as it did for the Spanish news publishers when Google just pulled out of the market rather than support their competitors.
All these companies just keep trying to slay the golden goose.
Darwin's biggest contribution to evolution was the scientific evidence he produced. Though he was ridiculed (and continues to be) by clergy it wasn't his theory that made the biggest history, it was the meticulous documentation he did that eventually won. In other words it was the facts he discovered, not his supposition of the cause that has had the biggest effect. One item of note, Alfred Russel Wallace had collected an equal amount of data using completely different methods and species (based more on fossils than living creatures) and Darwin beat him to publication. The collected data between the two works was so compelling that it laid the foundation for entire branches of science. The evidence they both collected was voluminous and irrefutable. This data laid the foundation and other scientists quickly built on that foundation, we have a dozen branches of biological science that wouldn't exist without the discovery of the fact of evolution. One of those is molecular biology.
At this point in time the amount of data backing the fact of evolution is essentially irrefutable at this point, it would be like trying to prove thermodynamics wrong. The theory of how it works is still being fought over but not the fact that it exists.
What we've seen of Earth's RF emissions as time has gone on is that they have been decreasing at an almost exponential amount. Today radio transmissions use so little power most cannot even escape the atmosphere and because they are digital they are almost indistinguishable from noise. But those early transmissions in the 40's, 50's and 60's were seriously powerful. They likely were visible above the sun's radiation and carried quite a distance, in addition being analog they would be very easy to spot.
What SETI and the other programs are looking for is that early use of radio where the power levels are very high to compensate for poor understanding. One thing to keep in mind is that any alien civilization out there will follow a completely different technological track. There very well could be an alien species out there is just discovering radio while having already engaged in interstellar travel. We make a mistake if we assume an alien culture will progress like our own.
That rollback occurred during the Gringrich congress which had a veto proof Republican majority. I'm not sure on this particular bill but if it's like the others Clinton didn't have any say in the bill as the Vote was veto proof.
Their job is to find hazardous materials that are not allowed on the flight. They want you to think their job is to find contraband, make it easier for them to cooperate with the DEA and do their job for them while they get to pretend to be law enforcement (which they aren't).
There are already precedents on the books treating encryption keys like keys to a safe. This precedent makes it obstruction of justice to refuse to hand them over, allowing the court to hold you in contempt and basically incarcerate you for life.
Don't be so sure about what Apple is required to do. The phone companies were required to build in phone tapping capacity at unbelievable levels (the police can tap something like 1/3 of all phones simultaneously). Congress could very well force Apple to make the changes you suggest they can't or the Justice department might even be able to convince the courts that the telephone tapping law applies to data as well (creating an end run around congress).
You are using the basic assumption that there are only two parties.
If more people voted third party we could crash the US electoral system and force change. Our electoral system is built around a 2 party system, if a third or forth party takes major shares the system would collapse and have to be revised to a system that accepted more than 2 parties and in the process we would gut the oligarch system that's based on two political parties. The result would be an electoral system where minority parties and less popular views have a voice and actual power.
Fascist judge? You don't need a fascist judge to order that. There was a website that advertising not maintaining logs, it was one of their primary features, a judge ordered them to turn logging on.
Then there was the judge that ordered Lavabit to turn over their master decryption keys, again even though their entire business was based on security.
You don't need a fascist judge to order this, you just need a regular run of the mill judge. These days Judges try to bend over backwards to give law enforcement what they want. Judges are no longer a check on law enforcement power.
They didn't have the means to move these stones other than with human power (dragging them on the ground). The time and effort expended to move stones that large would not be comprehensible for anything other than ritual and religion. This would have taken hundreds of years to build, long beyond the range of any ruler or military defense. Much like the cathedrals of europe that took multiple lifetimes to build the only way to supply labor for these types of things is to make that labor free through religious worship.
It's completely impractical to suggest this was for defensive purposes when the entire area is littered with varying sizes of monuments that are identical circles, much like the composition to stonehenge, a known religious site. Like Stonehenge this would have most likely been a religious site. This area was special to the people of this time period. As I noted previously there are many many sites all over this area varying in size and age. Last thing I remember seeing on these stonehenge like structures said there were several dozen sites scattered over a few square miles. Stonehenge was one of the few to survive, probably because it was further away from the settlements.
Did the Egyptian's build the pyramids for defensive purposes or religious purposes?
AES instructions are included by default in almost every single processor produced in the last 5 years. The only CPU without "the cycles" to run SSH is going to be the smallest oldest industrial control you've never seen.
There is no valid reason for not using SSH on any product that can install it. I doubt you could find a single product that would struggle with SSH encryption, even in the lowest end ARM or MIPS processors.
One of the most important aspects of securing your systems is to layer the security, so that if a zero day is used and the black hat gets access to something they don't automatically get access to everything else. This is simple things like not using the same password on every computer, and even simpler things like not using insecure protocols on your network, even on the internal side.
There is simply no reason whatsoever to use telnet even internally. SSH does everything telnet does, it doesn't cost more, it isn't harder to use, it's not more difficult to deploy and above all it adds an extra layer to the security.
Using telnet, even internally is just bad practice and frankly means you aren't very smart. I agree with the parent poster, using telnet in this day and age should be considered a deliberate malicious act by a manufacturer and an indication of stupidity on the part of any admin.
Carnot cycle refers to the efficiency limits of thermal generation or heat engines, ie a steam generator on a coal fired power plant or the efficiency of an internal combustion engine. PV panels do NOT operate on thermal generation and the Carnot cycle doesn't even apply. Other than that the rest of what you said was wrong.
All they would have to do is what they do with cell phones. The radio would have it's own realtime OS that controls the radio that would be separate from the main OS driving the device.
You are wrong about the ATOMs. You don't understand that what's been wrong with Atom is intel's making, not some limitation of the architecture. Intel has deliberately handicapped Atom to avoid atom taking market-share from high priced parts. This lack of performance from Atom was completely deliberate, they wanted to make it painful to use it for anything so people would opt for the better and higher priced desktop parts.
You want evidence? Intel has recently produced "server" atom's that are what Atom could be. They are the Silvermont and Avoton parts and they are good enough to run servers, 8 cores and a peak of 20 watts (at full load), where the idling power use is about 4 watts. Intel can produce power competitive parts that blow ARM out of the water, they don't because they don't want to erode the prices of their higher end parts. The Avoton I have can run circles around i7's that are just a year or two old and it does so at like 1/10th the power use.
The poor and elderly often don't have drivers license and the only place you can get these "free" ID's is often hundreds of miles away and only open during business hours. If I took your car away and told you the only way you could vote was to take a day off work, spend 4 hours and $6 on a bus each direction while giving up a days pay while living paycheck to paycheck would you do it?
What if you didn't have a car, were elderly, of ill health and living on social security and having to skip a meals several times a month to survive?
I simply can't believe you are this ignorant of what it's like to be the working poor. Either you are a child or just an ass.
The tapes have no voter names on them. You're a moron that doesn't know what they are talking about.
Think about it, if there was a way to tie the vote to the voter with any of this information the government would know what every single person voted for and would breach the very idea of an anonymous vote. The names and connection to actual voters is never recorded for this very reason. It's impossible to tie a person to the ballot they cast.
Secret ballots aren't just to protect from the government knowing. They are to protect from anyone knowing. Knowing who votes for who would allow for vote buying, intimidation and all sorts of very negative election behavior. None of which are trivial.
You can't have free elections period if anyone knows who voted for who. A strictly anonymous vote is the only way for democracy to work.
The summarized electronic information is available, not the backup paper tape that records the actual vote and IS the backup for checking the electronic records. The whole purpose of the paper tapes is so fraud can be checked and elections verified. Electronic aggregate records can be tampered with, the only way to alter the paper tapes is to screw with the voting machines before the vote so vote A = B. I check my tapes when I vote to ensure it's recorded correctly and my state encourages voters to do the same. The tape is the official vote record in my state and I'm sure it's the same in Kansas.
What that means is they gave her the unofficial count, not the official records.

Roku validated the open channel (app) model. Looks like Apple is jealous of Roku's success and decided to copy their model.
Apple has very few original ideas.

Exactly what kind of bucket are you using where the worlds number two polluter and carbon emitter is a drop in this bucket?
China's putting out more shit than the US, but the US is a close second and has been doing it an awful long time in comparison.
