The position of the sun is still important to nearly everyone. Or do you not operate on a 24 hour schedule? Believe me, normal people care if a meeting is scheduled 4 hours before sunrise.
"No confusion ever again"? Haha, right. There is no possibility of confusion when while traveling instead of changing your clock you have to shift the time of everything in your day.
AC and your computer, those are the reasons you have a generator? I would think that your refrigerator would be the highest priority. Is there a reason you don't mention that?
I'm sure the mayor didn't wait any longer then he had to. Hurricane's are erratic. If you're going to evacuate Manhattan you'd better be pretty sure the hurricane's actually going to hit.
I think he's saying that he read the summary all the way through. Particularly the last line, "high-energy protons seemed to enhance the production of nanometer-sized particles from the gaseous atmosphere by more than a factor of ten. But, Kirkby adds, those particles are far too small to serve as seeds for clouds."
My Nexus One has unwanted crapware, Twitter, Facebook, Books, Amazon MP3. Now granted I use Facebook and sometimes use Amazon MP3 but plenty of people don't. And even though I use them, I would rather install them myself, that way I can put updates on my SD card to save my N1's precious space.
Were not talking about the cost, we're talking about what you're being told your paying for. Obviously the cost of shipping the packaging is factored into the price of a box of cereal and that's not a problem. But when the box says you are getting 24oz of cereal, it would be illegal to make that claim if it included the weight of the packaging. Likewise, obviously the cost of your internet necessarily includes any overhead but the overhead should not be included in your advertised data rates. If you have a 10Mb pipe, and they know 10% of that is overhead you will never touch it is dishonest saying that you are getting a 10Mb connection, especially when competitors may have only 5% overhead on their 10Mb pipe.
That is in no way analogous to the cereal being sold by weight instead of volume. Counting unusable overhead is like the cereal companies counting the weight of the packaging.
Yeah. Just like they took reasonable steps to open source Android 3.0. And Android 3.1
Don't be obtuse. Google has released the code for every version of Android prior to 3.0. They've clearly stated their intent to release the code for the 3.x branch as well when it is ready. The reason for the delay is that it is currently severely broken for the vast majority of devices that people want to run it on.
The same thing? Is Google really maintaining a continuously updated, searchable database of the license plate number and location of every car it captures on street view? It seems to me they aren't doing anything like that.
The tire thing works - took our pickup truck from 15mpg to almost 18 on the highway. Before you sneer, we travel 5 at a time in the pickup, meaning your driver only Prius would need to get 90mpg to compete, or 45 if you can find a passenger willing to ride with you.
Last I checked, a Prius can also fit up to 5 people.
There will never be any interstellar trade. The distances and velocities involved require energy expenditures vastly higher than the cost of any valuables you may wish to transport.
Sounds a little like someone saying "Man will never fly" in the 1300s...
There's actually a pretty big difference. In the 1300s anyone doubting the ability of man to fly could look to birds, insects, and bats as proof that flight is at least possible. If they could do it, maybe we could too.
OTOH, we have no examples of interstellar travel that we can look to as proof it can be done.

You've heard of the electoral collage, right? That was created by the founders to protect the Presidency from the whims of the stupid commoners.

Right, though I'm not sure I would agree with your designation of the LHC proton preaccelerator as portable.

Right, but how is it different is what we want to know.
You sure about that? Which Apple product was discontinued without support after only one month?
Sure we could build something faster, but fast enough? We need something 2-3 orders of magnitude faster to be really useful. That's a tall order.

There is no Android 3 for smartphones yet.
That quake was not related, too far away.
But Manhattan land is on solid bedrock, how could the quake effect reach here?
The whole east coast is relatively solid bedrock, that's exactly why the earthquakes travel so far compared to the west coast.

They're not turning to just urine, they're using all waste water.
The reason why the password is stored is so that the user doesn't have to enter it each time they restart the phone.
Ok, so if they can store a hash that is capable of logging into your account, how do they protect the hash?

I think the reason for black roofs is that tar is used for waterproofing and tar only comes in black.

And no one would buy it anyway, escargot being an animal product.
