SudoCUE is/was (no longer developed it seems) about the best sudoku app around. It generates some excellent puzzles, can check for a unique solution, and has a nice way to rate difficulty. It also has an optimizer which can remove clues to make a puzzle harder, and can preserve symmetry.
And SudoCUE does exactly what you wanted, it can list all techniques needed to solve the puzzle.

It costs a lot less to pay for a web server (which you have anyway), a distribution warehouse (which you have anyway) and the processing to send to individual's homes (which many retailers have anyway) than it does to pay for all that + the retail employees, the rent for the stores, the power/HVAC/maintenance for the stores, etc. Thus, mail-order/online will be cheaper than retail, as it has fewer costs. Retail is good if you need an item NOW or need help that the salesperson can actually give, but most retail salespeople can't give any meaningful advice anyway.
The speakers were also only $8000. Not that expensive, and not outside affordable. Plenty of people give their kids a (used) car for their birthday when that kid can get a driver's license. These speakers are in the same price range. I've seen ads in audio magazines for speakers at $375,000. And speaker cables at $40,000 for a 6 foot pair.
Aaah, but in a world with a largely open internet with file sharing, like our world, then information will tend to become more free with time. People tend to download things that are available for download, and attempts to suppress the sources tends to lead to the creation of new sources for the same info. Basically the Streisand effect applies to all information, though with varying degrees of effectiveness. Information tends towards maximal distribution, or "wants to be free".
Dropbox is a file synch program. Install dropbox, it creates a directory on your hard drive somewhere. All files stored in that directory are auto-synched to the server. If you install it on another computer (or phone, or whatever it supports) you can use it to transfer files, create persistent storage, etc.
I do the same. KeePass also has a version for android, and I keep the portable executable with me on a flash drive. I use it for anything that needs to be secure, and insecure passwords for things that don't. (e.g. "Pi3.14159" is 9 characters, contains uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters, is easy to remember, etc).
I believe the goal is to get the projectile to about 6km/s, which is near ICBM velocity. You wouldn't want an unpowered weapon to be in orbit anyway, it has to come down and hit a target.
No, no, at the time there was only one press. The founders knew that one day it would gain sentience. If it did so while confined and oppressed it would rebel against its human creators, leading to the downfall of the nation. Thus, they enshrined the freedom of the press in the Constitution. SKYNET will start from a very, very "legacy" printer.
Human medical advances eventually filter down to veterinary medicine. You can easily get X-rays for your dog or cat, and can now get CT-scans and MRI scans done (though those are quite expensive). Antibiotics are easily available, etc, etc. There's no reason to think that stem cell treatments won't eventually be used for animals also, including monkeys.
The big, big benefit of stem cells is that they are identical to the tissue recipient's cells, and thus won't be rejected by the immune system. Embryonic stem cells don't have that benefit. However, they're more likely to remain the proper cell type after differentiation, whereas induced pluripotent cells sometimes revert. Research is needed on both types of cells to get the ideal of induced pluripotent stem cells that function the same way as embryonic ones.
I am a skeptic. I looked at the evidence, and decided it was sufficient to warrant concern and action over the issue of AGW. I read a few papers, the IPCC working group 1 report, and went to a few talks by climate scientists. Based on the evidence presented I chose to accept the hypothesis that humans are causing the average global temperature to rise, and also that this will lead to a variety of negative effects for us. Given the body of evidence I cannot, as a skeptic, do anything but accept it. To do otherwise would make me simply an unscientific denier.
While it's true that you really shouldn't be managing the pointers and memory allocations yourself due to the chance of introducing nasty bugs there is quite a lot to be said for knowing HOW to do so.

So a few voted "no". Not nearly enough. And pretty much all parties and groups had someone voting "yes" (clearly the set of all people who voted "no" didn't vote "yes").
AT&T and Verizon have the same pricing structure. T-Mobile & Sprint are both cheaper. This seems a bit suspicious to me, especially since neither AT&T nor Verizon's prices have dropped recently.
KEYBOARD PRESENT, NO PURCHASE. It is simple for many people, including myself, and I am looking for an android phone to replace my current phone. There is no substitute for a software keyboard. I am not going to use a device that invites mechanical failure by having a slide out keyboard or has half the screen size all the time (even when I'm not typing) by having a non-sliding keyboard. Since I don't touch-type a hardware QWERTY keyboard is just dumb, something like DSK with the vowels and most common consonants on opposite thumbs would be far better. I also use languages other than English on occasion, and can't type them easily with a keyboard I can't remap. It just won't fly with the tasks I use the device for.

I play bagpipes. Blow hard into the blowpipe, finger the chanter, and the drones create a background, so you provide your own accompaniment.
DroidWall (on a rooted phone only) makes custom iptables chains and can block apps. Pretty easy solution to have your cake and eat it too.
Rooting android phones is pretty much a pre-requisite to get all the good stuff, sadly.
There's also the security aspect. Do you trust your (probably minimum wage) cleaning crew with physical access to your server room? If so, WHY?
On soft, soft piles of money.
That, and your choices are to consent to give up the data, or not use the device at all. You can't just turn off the tracking.
They may, however, deny returns without the door guard mark on the receipt.

I have a real kilt, a fheile more (great kilt, aka big feckin blanket.) I agree about all that you said, though utilikilts are for people who can't pleat their own kilt every time they want to put it on.
