Maybe the toy industry should take care of the problem, and then one could add search&rescue tools to cheap smart chinese toy robosnakes.
Yep. Cheap, simple and mass-producible is a good goal, and worked well for drones and RC helicopters. Having said that, I'm not sure it would help with these.
I just don't see what the segmented worm approach adds that couldn't be achieved more simply by other means. I worked in fire and rescue for over a decade (admittedly a long time ago), and can't think of any situation where these would have added value over small tracked or wheeled robots. Even now, I think trained dogs have a better success record than any technological solution, and other animals like ferrets or the rats discussed here previously might have an advantage in restricted spaces.
It's likely they acted "In Good Faith" given a perfectly normal submission.
Many of the companies sued by Apple could also claim to have acted in good faith. Will Apple refund all the time and money they were forced to spend to defend themselves?
in the Windows world, change is mostly for the worse.
Not just that.
In the Windows world, there are just two choices; run an old version, or put up with the awful interface. At least with Linux, you can use Mint, or even pick an XFCE, Enlightenment etc etc respin if you want Ubuntu and don't like Unity.
And the KDE guys broke KDE when they transitioned from 3.5 to 4.
Maybe broken early releases are an inevitable outcome of step changes to interface projects that are developed out in the open. Maybe the problem isn't with KDE, Gnome and Unity, but with our expectations, and people who don't want to experiment with cutting-edge DEs should be explicitly warned away from them?
So for about ten more years, you're going to have to support FAT anyway.
The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GB, and the maximum partition size is 2TB. Those limits are going to bite far sooner than ten years.
If there was a chance of slicing off skin from swiping over these pins, then it fails at the basic intended purpose of displaying braille in the first place.
Very true.
My blind friend once picked up a cheese-grater by mistake. She said it was the most violent book she'd ever read.
So should these guys go to jail? They mapped out half the access points in the city.
Warflying
Warflying or warstorming is an activity consisting of using an airplane and a Wi-Fi-equipped computer, such as a laptop or a PDA, to detect Wi-Fi wireless networks. Warstorming shares similarities to Wardriving and Warwalking in all aspects except for the method of transport. It originated in Western Australia with the WaFreeNet (WAFN) group taking up a Grumman Tiger four-seater near Perth City in 2002, as documented on the weblog of Jason Jordan
Most warflying is harmless, as most of the people will just scan for the networks, either as an experiment, or just for the pure amusement, or to map out the wireless networks in the area.[citation needed] Due to the nature of flying, it is much more difficult to attempt to access open networks while warflying.

I'm not aware of any others.
I use the Eclipse version, but tried MIDE-51 for a while. It's a good lightweight option. Jsim-51 is useful too.

Maybe by late cretaceous. Early on there would have been sour gymnosperms.
maybe they should do a selection of different colors for the benefit of fashion-aware disaster victims too
That's a good idea, and maybe have it make comforting sounds as it travels. Attaching a child's rattle, for example.

We'be been building them for the better part of a decade, and stories about them get posted to Slashdot after every major building collapse.

Office doesn't run on Android.
That means both of Microsoft's cash cows will have been bypassed. They'll HAVE to respond in some way.

nobody is going to type whatever.amazon into their web browser. They're just going to keep going to amazon.com.
That's a very short-sighted way of looking at it.
Think "rivers.amazon, fauna.amazon, flora.amazon, etc" or alternatively, "books.amazon, movies.amazon, cheap_crap.amazon etc".
quality software strikes again!
Pearson VUE is a SharePoint site.
One small hole and a few CCs of ferric chloride. Shaken, not stirred...
Not even video will require that much space for some time with most devices having pretty strong compression.
That's not even close to correct - many of us are already working around the 4GB limit all the time.
in the Windows world, change is mostly for the worse.

Have you used it recently? It's quite a polished system now.
The problem is that the Gnome guys "broke" Gnome.
And the KDE guys broke KDE when they transitioned from 3.5 to 4.

Which is why an unencumbered standard video format is needed.
For flash cards, support for 4GB was overcome long ago. Look on Amazon, 16-32GB cards are common.
That's partition size, not file size.
exFAT is not backwards compatible with current devices. For future devices, there's no reason to choose it over other non-encumbered filesystems.
Of course I've heard of exFAT, no need to be patronising.
HTML is supposed to be platform agnostic. This is explicitly balkanizing it.
So for about ten more years, you're going to have to support FAT anyway.

Ever tried putting 5v @ 20A though a PCB trace?
Yes, but I still pretend I didn't.
Never speak of it again.

Their cash cows are Windows and Office, the patent extortion racket isn't even close.
