Why would a thief who stole my GPS care where I live? Does possession of my GPS make my house any more valuable then any of the tens of thousands of other random houses in the city?
We don't know if anti-matter has gravity or anti-gravity. We will be able to test this soonish as 32(?) anti-hydrogen atoms existed for several seconds, just a few days ago.
I think the ability to measure the gravity of individual hydrogen (or anti-hydrogen) atoms is a little longer off then anything I wold consider soonish.
Their support is frankly the worst I've ever dealt with from a company of their size, and their software is only one release away from breaking again (and never worked correctly on Android).
At least for Android I doubt this buyout would improve anything. Facebook's Android app is also terrible.
Arguably there was no difference to the user before, but that's in the past. There's a difference now since the security hole has been fixed. That's the benefit of using a feature versus an exploit.
Ice Cream is the holdup. If they release the Honeycomb source they know people will try shoehorning it onto smartphones which it is entirely unsuited for.
Isn't the burden of proof on you to show that consciousness can't be reduced to neurobiology? Based on what we know, it would seem biology is sufficient.
What sort of sensors do autonomous cars require that would cost $1,500,000? That seems like a far fetched number considering these days you get phones with several camera's, gyroscopes, compasses and GPS for only a few hundred dollars. What else do the cars need?
If the government first involved itself by giving corporations money to build infrastructure, doesn't it seem possible that if they did not involve themselves at all then instead of having a thriving, competitive, unregulated cable marketplace maybe we would just not have anything at all?
I'm pretty sure people don't worry about putting bacteria on Mars for any ethical reason. The big reason is because scientists don't want to contaminate Mars. If we want to find evidence of current or past life on Mars, it's much easier if we don't have Earth life running a muck up there.
No, I mean the change wouldn't have to affect anything. Apps that don't currently break during regular usage would not break with this change, because any blocked permissions could be implemented to look like situations the app already has to deal with.
Any well written app already has to be able to deal with the permissions they request not being available, for instance if a user has GPS turned off, is out of network range, has no contacts stored on their phone, etc... If the app doesn't crash when I go into airplane mode then it wouldn't have a problem if I disabled its network permission.
Yeah, we get the picture. You're a super-human driver with reactions faster and more reliable then any computer and who never makes a mistake and always does exactly what they mean to do behind the wheel. But you have to face the fact that 99.999% of drivers in the world are not you and that is who manufacturers are designing cars for. For most drivers, myself included, the car is a means to an end and they have no interested in wasting their time figuring out how to accelerate at the exact rate for optimal performance and efficiency. For us regular humans the computers do a better job and are more reliable.
Personally, I can't wait for driver-less cars to become a reality. The less involved in the driving process people are the safer everyone will be.
Well, if that's their reason for liking Android that's fine. My reasons were more to do with the apps and the overall functionality. The iPhone is okay, but I don't prefer it and the iTunes requirement is a big turn off for me.
Way to troll. Android and the standard apps it ships with don't display any ads. If you choose to install a free app that displays ads instead of buying the ad-free version that is your choice.

That's simple, we never actually observer the black hole or it's event horizon. We can only observer the matter and energy that surround it.

What would be illegal? The carriers remove functionality from Android all the time.
Was it really a mystery until now?

So what is the difference between that link and your checkbox? It's one click either way.
One is a supported feature of the phone and one is a security hole which no longer exists.
Do you not understand what voicemail is? How can record a message for someone without consenting to it being recorded?
No, you've heard wrong. The raid was yesterday.
I don't see any reason to believe my brain isn't a Turing machine. Why do you think yours is not?
I didn't find the arguments in that book very convincing at all.

I'm one of those crazy guys who just wants my computers to work
Same here, that's why I let my linux distro worry about updating and patching my OS. Did you think that's a unique feature of Mac OS?
No wonder his response makes no sense. The OP was talking about 2D on his computer.

It also really hits you when you consider that Rebecca Black has measurable success that maybe the big labels weren't entirely useless after all.
