I see some responses giving you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're completely making that up. Just who do you think you're fooling with your claim that, contrary do what pretty much everyone in America knows from first hand experience, it is actually conservatives that are know for being anti-authoritarian.
Right, they save the banner ads for you so that you can view them later, but still the point of viewing them later is to see the product, not the ad itself.
He is fine, the problem seems to be that you are missing his point. He is not interested in saving ads for later so he can appreciate their creative merit. He is interested in the ad because of the product it is advertising. Therefore saving the link to the product itself does everything he needs.
My assumption is that this ad saver service is also for people who are interested in products and not the ads themselves.
Do you understand how many orders of magnitude faster your computer would have to be in order to make something possible in a reasonable time frame when it currently that takes longer then the heat death of the universe? That sort of a technological improvement is unlikely to say the least.
It was for their own implementation of the SkyHook location service. It uses the Wi-Fi access points within range of your device to determine your location. Apple and Google both used SkyHook in the past before implementing their own databases.
Umm, the MAC addresses weren't collected accidentally. Google readily admits that they were collecting MAC addresses and location data to build their own version of the SkyHook location database. That's not the issue.
It's not possible to not listen to Wi-fi data when you are trying to collected Wi-fi data, as these trucks were. The just happened to collect extra data that they didn't need.
Why would Google have come out and said they accidentally collected this data if it was actually on purpose? Do you think the company is so stupid that they would intentionally do something illegal, retain the evidence, then tell the world about it?
What about section 12305(a) of 10 U.S.C., "the President may suspend any provision of law relating to promotion, retirement, or separation applicable to any member of the armed forces who the President determines is essential to the national security of the United States".
So all the President has to say is that the gay service men are vital to the war effort and he can legally disregard DADT and allow them to stay in the service.
Think about what happens when Seattle and San Francisco cease to exist. Do you think that US public opinion will be mollified by anything short of a parking lot?
I think a good portion of the American population is smart enough to know that the impoverished NK citizenry have jack to do with the NK government and military. Attacking all known military and government locations, that would be a fairly understandable response to a nuclear attack. Attacking every backwater and podunk in NK? Not reasonable.
"Does it matter if something inobservable exists? If you posit the existence of something that can't be observed, how do you verify that hypothesis? What are the applications for a theory that doesn't suggest effects we can detect and verify?
It matters to people who want to know. Don't tell me I can't find something out simply because you don't think it has any merit. Curiosity is what drives most of science. You may not care what the underlying rules of the universe are, but others do, and we want to know
No one is saying you can't find out about unobservable things because someone judged them to be not worthwhile enough. You can't find out about them because they are unobservable! If you are a person who wants to know things, don't waste your time on unobservable and unprovable theories. Leave that for the mystics.
The problem is string theory is firmly entrenched in universities, produces papers like Obama produces debt, and... well... even without those arguments there's the saying "paradigms change one funeral at a time". Lots of funerals need to happen before an alternative to string theory can be given real academic resources.
Is that the problem? Or is it just that the problem physicists are out to solve is just really, really hard. You said yourself that their have been alternatives proposed but they all failed.
No picketer ever stopped someone from entering a store. Such an action would be an arrestable offence, as it would involve, at minimum, the physical assault of prospective customers, and probably trespass...
...neither of which apply to the online equivalent.
I heard the other day that the insurance key is set to be released with a dead-man's switch. They said that if something happened to the top leadership of wikileaks then it would be released automatically.
So I'm a dumbass for pointing out that a ridiculous statement is ridiculous. And here you are pointing it out, so what does that make you? I would say, but I'm not supposed to feed the trolls.
Give you a break? When someone makes the ridiculous claim that iPhones never have problems that need restores to fix then all it takes is a single example to prove them wrong. I provided two, QED.
Android does Chinese input, look for the Google Pinyin IME in the market. I agree thought that the iPhone does it better. The Google Pinyin keyboard is nowhere as good as the default keyboard when it comes to non-Chinese input, and it's a bit cumbersome switching between installed keyboards.
Oh really? Why can I name at least two friends who's iPhone's stopped working until they had a clean OS restored? On one of the phones the WI-FI broke, and the other the voice calls entirely stopped working.

I think the webmail server is the computer system that would be considered accessed without authorization, not the pc used to log in from.

China is not North Korea, it is not a totalitarian state. Authoritarian? Yes, but those two words are not synonymous.

We observe time by observing its effects. That goes for just about everything., only photons can be observed directly.

Democracy isn't pointless, but the American implementation of it most certainly is broken.

Did that failblog page get posted to failblog? I think them posting satire counts as an epic fail on their part.
Maybe there's no loss of capacity, but if you're only allowed to use 30% of that capacity isn't that just as bad?
I remember when those cigarette machines were common in the states too. I guess they went away sometime during the 90's.
