The aircraft was equipped with a "picocell", essentially a cell tower inside the aircraft. They can operate on very low power and are supposed not to interfere with the aircraft. They're not very common yet - there's an argument passengers will hate them - but they will no doubt be coming to a budget airline near you soon.
Legally, possibly not. It depends on how the courts in your jurisdiction have interpreted it (if at all). The situation is analogous to the legalities of letter sending - the letter becomes the property of the recipient, copyright remains with the sender.
And it's bad advice. Even in the US, one of the most expensive educations on the planet, the present value of the enhanced earnings a degree brings you are still significantly greater than the (present value of the) cost.
Yes, but ignorance of economic trends is just as bad. In nominal terms, a dollar might be worth a fraction of what it was a century ago (though the withdrawal of the gold standard complicates the picture), but productivity growth has vastly outpaced inflation, meaning that in absolute terms, even the poorest person today has buying power far in excess of what most people had a century ago.
No. An English (not British) court requires that the person accused of libel prove the truth of their allegation. That is the only real substantive difference between US and English law.
The difference between the US and English (not UK) system is small, but important. In England, if you make a libellous statement, you must be able to prove it is true in order to defend a libel case. In the US, the complainant must prove it is not true. Example: I publish a newspaper story stating that politician X enjoys sadomasochistic sex. In England, X can sue me for libel and will win unless I have photographs of him having his buttocks striped (which also raises questions about my interests, but never mind). In the US, he can sue me, but unless he can show beyond reasonable doubt that he has never enjoyed (or not enjoyed, as the case may be) being tied up and spanked, he can't win.
Supply and demand curve. Yes, there is a high price for the very low supply of these calculators available, but realistically, if you produced them in commercial quantities, you couldn't price them high enough to cover the cost of manufacture.
That said, I'd agree there is probably a market opportunity for a focused manufacturer with strong quality control and market research skills. Get to it!
Trust: a trusted entity is an entity that can disrupt your business. We don't really think about trust in this way, but we should
The choice is between trusting an external company with whom you have a contract, and SLAs, and trusting your own employees. You don't know if your employees have all their bases covered; you don't even know what questions to ask to be certain they do. A contractual uptime, however, is something you can be sure about, and you can sue if you're not happy.
Hmm...the socket is proprietary but the electronics are identical: surely there must be an aftermarket connector that would let you hook up a normal MP3 player.
Actually, the safest kind of accident to have in a car is a head on collision. A sideswipe can be followed by a catastrophic loss of control, which can mean almost anything at speed.
Britain is fully converted. The only exceptions are holdovers that would have been too expensive or unnecessarily confrontational to change. Road signs, milk in pint bottles, beer in pints, and one other I can never remember.
Actually, no. No IQ test contains measures sufficiently sensitive, but *by design* it should in theory encounter people with negative IQs. By in theory I mean once in every hundred billion people, roughly.
Since there is no one way to measure intelligence, it's not really possible to say whether intelligence distribution is Gaussian (or anything else). IQ scores, however, are co-erced to a Gaussian distribution, one of the things that has always made me deeply suspicious of them. It is very clear that the natural distribution is *much* fatter tailed to the right than the Gaussian.
They dialled into mobile phone voiceboxes and tried default or simple PINS. Then they listened to messages that had been heard but not deleted. Erm, that's it.
Essentially, yes. It is confusing. There are two European courts. The European Court of Human Rights deals with exactly what its name suggests. It is not an EU court and actually has a slightly different jurisdiction. Cases can be appealed after exhausting the national system. Completed cases are not open to review and can require changes to legislation in the originating country.
The European Court of Justice deals with the interpretation of EU law and it is where you go if you feel your country is not complying in some way. Normally, you go there after exhausting your own country's legal system but a case can in theory go there at any time, much the same as the US supreme court. Usually a judgement will result in changes being required to that country's legislation, and possibly others as well. However, the function of the court is to interpret EU law as it stands and so it is possible for EU law to be revised in light of a judgement, though this very rarely happens.
You can look up the psychological research on this if you want to. At a young age, you are receptive to any kind of music you hear: you just soak into everything around you. Later, as you hit your teens, you star to use music as a group identity thing - remember long conversations about how people who didn't like xyz were just pitiable fools? Later in life, that need drops, which is what leads to the lack of interest in new music as you get older.
CAs should not be in the browser by default. Consumers should pay to subscribe to companies who issue root certificates, and it would be up to the market to sort out the details of trust, cross-verification, etc. And when $ROGUE_CA goes around signing certs for fakegoogle.com, the market can shaft them.
Point one, it's a sports car. They reviewed it the same way they'd review any other sports car. Point two, yes, they do occasionally do high mileage challenges - they got an Audi 6 from London to Edinburgh and back again on a single tank, some 800 miles.
Nope, the first known rant by a Muslim against America was recorded by a Persian religious scholar in about 1798 or thereabouts. Citation omitted as I would have to walk to the next room.
Engineers have plenty disasters to their name, typically when they didn't have a full enough understanding of the system which they had built (Tacoma Narrows?). What goes wrong in finance is in some ways analogous.

What, honour a dozen pre-orders that people still remember about and dance in all the publicity they get from it? Seems pretty simple marketing to me.

I'm pretty sure construction engineers can do drawings in metric if it saves them money.

If only there was a word for that.

A few people have managed the last part, mostly through dumb luck. Apparently the ideal situation is a conifer forest and deep, deep snow.
How old were you when Taco first said that? Not that I didn't agree with him.
