It's no surprise that many students pair with others in their major, especially in harder disciplines. You ask someone you find attractive if they would like to study for the big test. About two hours into it is the perfect time to trade massages to work out the study kinks. Whether you get back to studying is never guaranteed after that.
Local backups are well and good until a fire or some other disaster takes out the data and the backup device. While it's easy to plan to take a backup off-site, it's another matter to get someone to remember to do it unfailingly every day. Finally, lugging external drives around subjects them to physical damage.
A cloud provider solves this dilemma.
I use the feature, but I'm not always impressed by the results. It has my exact location, but often suggests stores that are much further away. There are many times when I will search for a store trying to find the closest, but it pushes me to one across town.
It is useful, so I hope it comes back, but fixed.
Since you're on Slashdot, like me, you have no life and you probably eat lunch sitting at your desk with crap on your hands. I have no need to smear all that over my monitor. With tablets and phones, it's ok because you can grab a corner of your shirt and clean it off. I'm not going to flash my monitor to wipe off my burger grease.
Valid point. A solar powered fleet would limit travel to daylight hours - not just twilight but sun-overhead daylight. East-bound travel would have to start and finish within a short time-span mid-winter. Adding a fuel backup means adding all the infrastructure necessary to convert fuel into motion in addition to electrical systems used for solar energy. By the time you add all that and the fuel, you've exceeded the weight limit that would allow solar-powered flight.
I would argue that the mountain of choices we have available to us now compared to 100 years ago would account for some the gains in abstract reasoning measurements. 100 year ago: Rabbit A or Rabbit B didn't matter much. The store only had a few brands of any particular product, if they were even branded at all. Today - Shoes: sneakers, loafers, sandals, pumps, flat, Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Nunn Bush, Bass, brown, black, leather, synthetic, Air, laces, straps, etc. We have to choose what we think will suit us best, weight one choice against another hundreds of times per day. We have to weigh the inputs - advertising, peer pressure, style, function, preferences. All of this takes heavy reasoning capabilities.
It has some definite elements of awesome, but it's interface is such a turd that it's hard to look past that. I've been developing a Windows 8 class for Support staff. There's been so many times when I exclaim "Cool! That should have been in Win7". Then I have to go back to that duct-taped construction paper and glue start screen and the mystique fades away.
After using it for a few weeks, I don't hate it as much as when I started, but I still wouldn't load it on my personal machine.

There's only so much you can get for a spoon that only works in the Amazon bowl.

The study is interestingly-timed, given the 3/28/14 release of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt19....
could possibly go wrong?

In 2064, I bet Nuclear Fusion as our common power source will only be 20 years away.

How many Microsoft Engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? None. They just redefine darkness as the new standard.
Can you remember when this started?
Aww snap! $250 cell phone bill from overages in data usage.
Who cares if it's Torrents or running your own porn site. Don't block it. Be the non-evil medium of transport, not another Comcrap.
So long as it isn't made my machinima.com, I would agree.
World of Warcraft: Queued for Greatness
I swear to god if they do dailies of farming, I'll /ragequit the movie and punch the guy at the ticket counter.
I'd get the tattoo only if it goes on my hand or forehead. Can you hear Jerry Falwell & his type screaming yet?
So now all we need to do is create a container of anti hydrogen and surround it with an electrical barrier to have our floating cars =)
That annihilate a few city blocks when two cars collide.
60 million requests? how?

It was so classy. I'm sure it would help with the theater owners concession sales as well.
