My 6S Plus has had consistent issues staying connected to TMobile towers. Switching between strong LTE, mediocre 4G, and one bar 2g and then no signal whatsoever (requiring a reboot or a visit to airplane mode to restore) within minutes without me moving away from my desk.
Since updating connections don't shift and I haven't had to drop into airplane mode to restore connection once.
Elon Musk seems to be someone with big dreams who then makes them happen. But the biggest and most difficult dream seems to be his desire to colonize Mars. In what realm of possibility would you put his goal of a self-sustaining Mars colony starting with 10 and scaling to 80,000 people?
Given that we finally seem to have a vital and growing private space industry, what do you think the likeliest successful target for long term space industrialization/exploitation/habitation is? The Moon, near earth asteroids, Mars?
My eldest son is a whiz- he's a couple years ahead and should get through AP Calculus and Stats by the time he gets through HS.
On the other hand we adopted 5 girls from foster care and it is a STRUGGLE. I don't know how much of it is organic (all of them were exposed to drugs/alcohol in utero) and how much of it is early formative, but they all have incredible difficulty making the most basic inference or deduction or story problem. I'm really concerned for them because I forsee them potentially running into the roadblocks referenced by the article summary. But there are in fact SOME excuses for saying "I can't do maths." Some people may never be able to master the basics no matter how hard they try.
Not to say we are in any manner giving up. They get extra tutoring at school and spend hours doing homework, despite being in elementary school, but different people have different top levels of achievement and sometimes that level is below what any of us would like.
when my 12 yr old grows up and moves out a lot of the games, but not all, were bought more for his benefit. I don't mind getting logged out occasionally now since he'll generally ask since he's in the house anyway. But when he moves out and 1/2 way across the country, potentially, co-ordinating the use of a single account will be a pain. I'll probably have to create a 2nd account for my exclusive use, since most of the money is tied up in his games...
intended for others. I have a full name @mac/@me account and my wife has a full name @gmail.com and I assume these people chose 1stnameLastname+1 account names making it very easy for their friends and business acquaintances to wrongly send us their email instead. I've gotten sensitive business information, invitations to exclusive events (unfortunately in the UK so I can't attend) . My wife has had an interesting time unintentionally following the life of a New York mover and shaker.
We don't know the real recipients actual email addresses so we can't warn them and have to read our own email to find out if it is intended for us or not so we can't help but read their email. Interesting conundrum.
This research result is not at all surprising- it is the same thing, just at a bigger scale and deliberate.
The most important info was left out. The reason this all played out was that Nokia was unwilling to license to Apple on the same RAND terms that they had committed to, and used with everyone else. They wanted access to specific 'touch' patents held by Apple in addition to the usual monetary payments that Apple had always expected to pay.
We now know Apple is paying to access Nokia's patents, but:
Did Apple give access to their iPhone-related patent portfolio in return? Did Apple pay a premium over RAND terms? Did Nokia no longer need access to Apple's patents due to indemnity from Microsoft since they are moving to WP7?
its a Chrome "pwn". If you bundle it, you own it. You see Apple going the opposite direction by un-bundling Flash because it didn't want to own the security issues and battery draining properties associated with it. They recognized their brand was getting tarnished via that association and decided to make Adobe stand on their own.
Its likely Intel would be a contract manufacturer in this case, just manufacturing Apple's custom designed processor. Not something Intel would usually embrace, but with their current impotence in the mobile market, it may be the best they can hope for. They keep Apple close and get back in the ARM game (indirectly). Apple gets world class fabs from someone who isn't directly competing with them at retail.
Seriously... working an occasional long haul is fine, but expecting and scheduling 5x10 is destructive to the lives of the employees and ultimately to the company. He'll get approximately the same output, but with lower company morale and higher employee turnover.
I have all of the Civ's on various computers, but I find playing IV a pain and revert to playing III pretty soon after trying IV yet again. Like the simpler overhead view on III mostly.
Don't overstate the case. It would make the planet less live-able in certain areas (principally by being underwater) and make other areas much more live-able for humans. The problem is the dislocation (which would likely happen over multiple generations) not any threat to the species.
And how is that incompatible with my post of "believe that God is physical and "part of the universe"- in other words subject to physical laws."?
We definitely believe that we are "children of God"- in other words we are physically similar to God- made in His image. A belief that is fully Biblically compatible, BTW. We also believe Him to be "Glorified" i.e. physically perfect, immortal, and all powerful. As to where he lives, pretty much wherever He wants to whenever he wants to...
As a Mormon who is completely comfortable with the fact that his ancestors practiced polygamy, let me draw the distinction for you. The law is completely clear about the fact that 14 year old children cannot consent to sexual relations, and it is even more obvious that parental coercion doesn't make it any more legal. To use religious power to enjoin an adult & a child to break the law is behavior of the worst kind.
If God did tell him to do it, it is up to God to stand up for him and protect him. I acknowledge him as the source of law for us, but in the absence of his direct intervention it is up to us to obey the law of the land. The Mormon church believed that it was constitutionally protected in practicing polygamy and appealed it to the highest courts of the land. But when the highest courts ruled, its own belief of honoring the law of the land made it inevitable that the practice would eventually stop, despite the enormous pain and suffering that separating all of those families endured.
Considering also that Jeffs attempted to pass a note along to the judge disclaiming his "prophethood" he has no defense left at all, in any case.
Actually as Mormons we continually take flak from many "literalist" denominations. We acknowledge the large amount of symbolism in scripture and believe that God is physical and "part of the universe"- in other words subject to physical laws. We do not believe in creation "ex-nihlo"- instead we believe that matter is uncreated and uncreate-able from nothing. The Mormon religion is one of the few where higher educational attainment equates to greater denominational activity.
We also believe that all truth belongs in Mormonism, but that Mormonism isn't the source of all truth. In other words truth can be found independently of the church and there is no reason to be threatened by it. There are "mullah" types in Mormonism, as in all denominations, that are overly suspicious of science, but that is not reflective of the doctrine.
implications rather than the actual research. And those implications may only be available after an interview with the scientist and his peers rather than primary source documents.
I think this has been the case for a long time- the problem of course is that the primary research scientist has a bias towards magnifying the importance of the findings, making it very important not to try to report anything of depth until doing some real digging. Which of course goes against the whole trend of "instant news"...
is passing them on their way up, while Gateway is falling down the well. Obviously at some point those two intersect. But more important is the fact that Apple is selling premium gear at a tidy profit while Gateway sells commodity gear at a razor thin margin. If you're a stockholder who are you going to reward and who are you going to punish, regardless of marketshare? You're conflating marketshare and stock price when that isn't reasonable.
Contra-wise I'd say it's darn impressive that Apple can outsell a competitor, who has widespread retail distribution, and who is selling roughly the same hardware at a significantly lower price...
But it is also the entity responsible for the oncoming demise of DRM on digital music- or at least the non-FairPlay, non-Watermark variety. Why is Microsoft suddenly the biggest cheerleader for non-DRMed music? Because their obtuse and nasty version of DRM got flattened in the marketplace.
All the other DRM formats can't compete and so they are going to the labels and applying their utmost pressure to be able to release DRM free. The labels are listening because the alternative is ceding utter control of their future digital distribution to Apple.
Watermarking will end up being their common friend. The RIAA gets someone to sue and the online music stores get a format that plays on the iPod. I'm not sure watermarking gives me the warm fuzzies (in fact the whole idea gives me the willies), but it is the likely way for this to play out.

Once we met them we really couldn't 'pick and choose' - they are all sisters- it would have been impossible emotionally.

From the article:
"While the two reports look strictly at sales at major U.S. electronics retailers, online sales of the Zune appear not to be as favorable."
