The article discusses decisions made by the FCC, but ignores the existence of other countries. So the US didn't have cellphones four decades earlier, but why didn't other countries have cellphones much earlier?
The problem here is that a delivery truck will make a stop in the middle of a street not meant for that activity, but a shopper in a car will find a parking spot already designed for that. As we shift to an economy where goods are delivered directly by truck, the traffic infrastructure needs to adapt.
Batteries for Lego toys mostly power motors, not lights. Electric motor efficiency hasn't improved that much. 50 years ago, battery powered tools didn't exist at all because no battery could hold enough charge and still be portable.
Citation Needed. I suppose I can search for it, but I assume you already have data which backs up your claim regarding the number of ex-military police.
If those instruments were this important to him, then they should have been insured. What if they're stolen? Destroyed in a fire? The customs official should be fired for being an idiot too, but this doesn't doesn't change anything. The point of the article is for us to get all worked up over the evil USA -- and it's succeeding. If this guy lost the instruments some other way, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
Yes, but why? Just because Netflix chose to use it doesn't in any way justify anything. http://www.logicalfallacies.info/relevance/appeals/appeal-to-popularity/
BSD (2 flavors) vs. Linux: How should I decide? They're all Unix-like, open source, and supported. Which is faster? More stable? Reliable? Secure? In all cases, anecdotes are not useful. Where's the evidence? Is it the license that matters?
Several times in the article, he mentions that the C128 was the last 8-bit computer to be designed. This isn't true -- a year later, Tandy announced the CoCo3, also with 128KB and capable of 80 column text display. It didn't run CP/M, but instead it ran Microware OS-9.
Remove the key. On every keyboard I've used for gaming, I popped out the windows key and solved the problem. If I ever actually need to use the key (which I don't) there's the other one on the right side.
There are literally people dying on this planet for lack of fresh water and this is just used as hydraulic fluid and then thrown into the ocean while ships pass by. Everything is wrong with this.
Have you ever considered the cost involved transporting fresh water to those who need it?
It's cheaper to dig a canal than to widen one, because you're going to be digging through a bunch of dry land with no special engineering issues. Then you knock the ends out. It's cheaper still if they import a bunch of Chinese slave labor.
Even cheaper when you use local Nicaraguan slave labor.
Primary reason: Punching holes in the security sandbox. A lot of the code in the JVM itself needs to grant itself "privileged access", but upon doing so it may have accidentally done so for user code as well. This is the greatest flaw in the Java security architecture, not because it doesn't work, but because it's hard to use correctly.
Yeast already has a natural ability to flocculate, differing by strain. All they did is use artificial selection to produce a new strain of yeast with higher flocculation. The article mentions that yeast evolved from a multicellular life form and that the next experiment will use single celled organisms which did not evolve this way. I suspect it will take much longer than 60 days to see any results.
Making a sphere out of this should be no different than making any type of black colored sphere. The light is converted to heat and the sphere warms up. If the heat is allowed to slowly escape, then equilibrium is reached. Otherwise, the sphere melts and potentially destroys its heat absorbing properties. Or the liquid sphere radiates heat away. In a black hole, heat cannot escape at all.
Ever used an Atari ST keyboard? The keycaps were too wide on top. Although it sounds counter-intuitive, it made typos too easy. If your fingertip hit the desired key just a bit to the side, it was likely to hit the neighboring key too.
The screenshot of the Optimus keyboard shows keycaps which look even wider on top than the Atari ST's. I can't imagine ever using this keyboard for any serious amount of typing.

No, the subpixel division is just in one dimension, usually horizontal for subpixel font rendering to be effective.

The jump wasn't from the 12th floor, which is why he survived. He only fell about 20 feet. http://www.seattlepi.com/local...

The problem really is the implementation on Android, from a old buggy open source library. http://armoredbarista.blogspot.com/2013/03/randomly-failed-weaknesses-in-java.html
It's a lot easier for government to control the people when they cannot see what's truly going on around them.

So, you like BTC being unregulated, but you want governments to make certain activities illegal. How is this not regulated?

Oracle has posted a fix for the bug, in the form of a patch. Official releases will be available next week. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/fpupdater-tool-readme-305936.html http://blogs.oracle.com/security/2011/02/security_alert_for_cve-2010-44.html

The keys have the usual 3/4 inch spacing, but the width of the keycap on a "normal" or laptop keyboard is about 1/2 inch. Atari ST was about 5/8 inch.
