How many things do you hold in your hand and look at 50 times a day? something that tactile and consuming of your senses, intellect, time and lifestyle is something you should be getting the best possible tool for. It
Hmmm... yes.., well... perhaps I'd better not admit to that in public...
Abortions aren't done by the NHS, the doctor simply refers you to Marie Stopes and pays the bill - your abortion is booked on a time table set by Marie Stopes local clinics.
Yes, they are done at NHS facilities - although they can also be done at Marie Stopes, typically funded by the NHS.
Abortions can only be carried out in an NHS hospital or a licensed clinic, and are usually available free of charge on the NHS.
I only buy phones that have standard 1/4 inch jacks for headphone connections. None of this wimpy 3.5 mm stuff. And it's also easier to connect my guitar to it...
According to my French significant other, the Quebecois are much worse than the French regarding this. And, unlike Quebec, I don't think there are any legal restrictions in France on the use of English on signs etc.
Unlike like a growing number of countries, the US hasn't yet agreed to a ban on use of land mines.
These (simple) machines can automatically indiscriminately kill, with essentially no protection against civilian deaths, and can remain active for many many years.
Identifying the source of perytons at the Parkes radio telescope "Perytons" are millisecond-duration transients of terrestrial origin, whose frequency-swept emission mimics the dispersion of an astrophysical pulse that has propagated through tenuous cold plasma. In fact, their similarity to FRB 010724 had previously cast a shadow over the interpretation of "fast radio bursts," which otherwise appear to be of extragalactic origin. Until now, the physical origin of the dispersion-mimicking perytons had remained a mystery. We have identified strong out-of-band emission at 2.3--2.5 GHz associated with several peryton events. Subsequent tests revealed that a peryton can be generated at 1.4 GHz when a microwave oven door is opened prematurely and the telescope is at an appropriate relative angle. Radio emission escaping from microwave ovens during the magnetron shut-down phase neatly explain all of the observed properties of the peryton signals. Now that the peryton source has been identified, we furthermore demonstrate that the microwaves on site could not have caused FRB 010724. This and other distinct observational differences show that FRBs are excellent candidates for genuine extragalactic transients.
You got it ass-backwards. I know. I lived through the 50s, 60s and 70s. I saw what really happened. The Democrat Party has always been home to the racists and sexists, and it still is today.
AFAIK, there is no such thing as a "Democrat Party" in the US. (Although there is a Democratic Party.)
There's also no requirement in for a verb and noun to have the same spelling in the UK which leads to differences such as your "driver's license" and the UK's "driver's licence". The difference is that the government will "license" you by giving you a "licence", something that has no distinction in American English.
I don't currently live there, but I believe it's still a "driving license". (Using the gerund, I think it is.)
There are interesting issues to do with interaction with other road users. And there are people working on those things. But no, it's not nearly as big as issue as snow. Snow is a showstopper right now. It interferes with sensors. It makes the expected view completely different from the ones usually trained with. And what to do in a skid is a huge issue.
My expectation is that dealing with other things in the road rather than snow is the biggest issue. For snow you primarily need to drive slowly enough. And if you do skid that's just physics you have to deal with. But there's a near infinite number of weird things that could be in the street. From my experience in Baltimore that can include motorcycles driving through red lights, skate boarders in the middle of the road, construction workers holding signs that say "stop", but they want you to go. And I expect people begging at lights will learn to stand in front of vehicles blocking the way until they get given money.
Sorry, this cracks me up each time I see this. Yet the BBC doesn't get the same treatment.
Made possible by Royal decree and is funded by forced taxes. Honest question, why doesn't the BBC doesn't qualify as "state run media" ?
Although arguments can be made either way here, the way to determine this is to look at the actual coverage of the government in power. For example, look at this recent article on May's disastrous speech: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-pol... which concludes with: "The conference was meant to be about restoring Theresa May's authority. It may prove instead to have been further undermined."
The fuel/exhaust that a rocket uses and produces isn't exactly the cleanest or safest stuff on earth.
Methane and oxygen should be pretty clean... (well, some sources of methane are not so nice, but I doubt he'll use those). And I believe the production should be based on solar-power produced electricity.
Summary and article say it'll be "around the same price as an economy airline ticket". I find that not only difficult, but nearly impossible to believe.
I believe the full quote is: "about the same as full fare economy", which almost nobody pays.
Similar pricing as the Galaxy S8. [...]Its main advantage is the 128 GB storage but the market for that amount of storage is too small. Especially outside of the Apple world.
And of course you can add an additional 128 GB to the S8 via a microSD card for 40 bucks or so....
I had really bad experiences with Synchrony administered store card: not taking payment transfer from bank account, then taking payment twice, then not taking following payment.
I might actually prefer if it really was a paypal administered card!
I'm just a humble amateur scientific programmer (I'm mainly a scientist), but I still have trouble understanding how "just" libraries can get anything into the GB range. In my humble number crunching code (linux based), it always seems to be large data arrays which end up eating up all the space. Could it be with phone apps that they're including lots of images which are what is principally eating up space?
that's probably because, to first order, MHz does often roughly correspond to real processing power. (or at least it does in my comparisons for scientific floating point number crunching for a variety of systems)
3: As reported in the previous Slashdot story this is not exactly a "breakthrough". It's the first time it's been done in the US (officially) but teams in other parts of the world have been done it officially (and probably unofficially) as well..
My understanding from the article is that the breakthrough aspects are: (1) all cells in the embryos where this worked had their genes corrected without "mosaicing", where some cells would be changed and others wouldn't. (2) No other genetic changes were introduced. So this is a big technical advance.
Also, as a scientific bonus, a peculiarity was found in that the material for the genetic correction came from the eggs, rather than the material they introduced. However, this may be a drawback for actually making specific changes. Particularly where the eggs don't already carry "good" genetic code.
"peer review" is almost always a load of bullshit. Unless someone repeats the experiment/study/analysis themselves as a peer-reviewer, the peer review tends to be little more than a grammar and spelling check, did everyone label their figures correctly, etc.
Peer review in the journals I publish in (astrophysics) is very much more than a "grammar and spelling check". Where do you publish and in what field??
Replicating an experiment is certainly outside the scope of peer review.

That was Parkes.
And they were also "perytons" rather than FRBs.

Or have they made global agreements so we can pay with our Android phones at retailers globally now?
Last month I used Android pay on my phone at a number of retailers in France.
Or, are you asking a different question?

The results are published in Nature today.

high quality audio recorded from modern digital microphones would be useful. .
What is a "digital microphone"...?
Does that term actually mean something?
That ride is going so suck without a realistic VR experience to make it seem a bit more earthly. Speeding through a shiny lit tunnel? Not for me.
Would it really seem that different from being in an airplane with the window shades drawn??
