Netflix does adapt to low bandwidth by the obvious contingency of showing me terrible low bitrate streams. I'm on FIOS and used to get consistent beautiful HD so I feel entitled to complain.
The NYT article is about dead tree books. The whole case is baffling though, given the unchallenged dominance Amazon enjoyed in the ebook market at the time, which Apple, B&N, etc have barely chipped into since. Also, most people who even casually follow developments in the field would tell you Amazon intends to run the publishing industry into the ground as soon as its convenient.
That's not the only thing wrong with the name. Take another look at it.

The first flying card I get in will not be named after wild cattle. It might be name after the most loyal of tame creatures or one of the more sedate birds (preferably one that floats too).
Thing is the only people who care (PRC) have their own satellites, probably more of them than anyone but the US and Russia. And you can bet they've photographed every inch of Taiwan. China's problem, then, is NOT to get images but to identify locations worthy of further attention. It could save them a lot of time to go on google maps and scan for areas with blurring or just suspiciously low resolution.
Note that this is a different situation from not wanting to let non-state actors i.e. terrorists get a look at what's on the roof of the White House. That may be misguided as well, but it's probable that Al-Qaeda has no other way to get that information. Also, it's no secret at this point that there's SOMETHING up there poised to shoot down any incoming plane, so we're not giving anything away by hiding it.
This isn't even close to the manned aircraft record. In the 50s some nuts kept a Cessna 172 flying for more than 2 months. When the generator gave out they hoisted up a small wind generator, taped it to a struct, and ran the power in through the cigarette lighter. Now that's what I call a record!
I can't find it on google, but I recall hearing about some jail where they published a 'Prisoner Code of Conduct' that prohibited inmates from committing acts of terrorism. I though it was the most hilarious thing I'd ever heard, but I suppose if it were true someone would have posted something about it somewhere online.
On the other hand, they have movies like Mr Vampire. That movie is crazy. I'm trying to think though, and of the Chinese movies involving ghosts and spirits and stuff I don't recall an skeletons. Chinese Ghost Story had some seriously anorexic claymation zombies if I remember right, I bet they were censored.
The chicken comb thing happens in the midwest. It's pretty much frostbite, and a caution that the same will happen to your ears if you let it. Of course, where I'm talking about the low temperatures are below zero, Fahrenheit, and the wind chills can be pretty extreme. Never heard of trees exploding-I wonder if someone had an ice storm and got confused about what actually happened.
I hope they work better than the RF tags at the library where I work. I saw one of those, applied inside the cover of a paperback that burned through the front and scorched several pages into it.
This was something I though of reading The Selfish Gene for the first time a month ago. The key to the Prisoners Dilemma is that it is to the individual's benefit to betray UNLESS there are more rounds to be played in the game, i.e. a continuing society instead of one time interaction. Not only that, but if you know when the last round is, it is to your advantage to betray on the final round. But if you know your partner intends to cooperate until the last round and then betray, then your best move is to cooperate until the second to last round and betray for both that and the final round. And that ends you up with a strategy of betrayal only and if both you and your partner choose this strategy (and your partner would be a fool to do otherwise), neither of you profits much. In fact, any information about when the game will end could lead to this kind of outcome. Thus, a belief that there is an afterlife or an outside frame of reference from which you are being judged, could confer an evolutionary advantage, as much as any other trait that would compel you to cooperate.
In most cases-only if you use a mouse for your pointing device. Those of us who use trackpads are SOL.
Sorry. In fact, my first reaction to the headline was Mice Cured Who? of Autism, picturing some kind of regimen designed to help human by engaging them with software.

o "Jedi": 0.7%
I'm guessing that's supposed to be.07% for Jedi. The total comes to 100.69% if you add it up and the order doesn't make sense this way.
Isn't there a character named this in some of Kinky Friedman's books? I know most if not all of the major characters in The Kinkster's mysteries are based on real people but it would be wild if one of them is actually a private eye.

If the last 6 months have taught us anything, it's that the contracts in question are likely in the format of Powerpoint slideshows.

I heard they contain deadly mercury.
So big deal, 100... It is not uncommon for a science dept at a university to get 400 applications for a tenure track position.
Or even as many as 420.
Also, the high score is clearly stored in a single byte so you'll just roll over if you break 256.
"Cape Carnival?" Yeah, like he would have gotten away with the elaborate deception if it weren't for autocorrect.
Grandparent is getting OTP mixed up with ROT13. I do that all the time. It cost me my job once.

Just don't tell them where the gelatin came from.
Most of the services on Amazon's free tier expire after 12 months. That's still pretty generous though. http://aws.amazon.com/free/

Print out the image.
Put the image in a copy machine UPSIDE DOWN.
The image will come out of the copy machine right side up!
Patent pending.

How long does it take to send an internet over it? Sometimes it takes days to receive them on the current implementation.
Whenever you get close to running out of material, print another cartridge.

This way makes a lot more sense though. Without the indefinite article, man and mankind are more or less synonymous.
