For gaming, Apple should put in a more powerful chip, which may imply a price hike. Perhaps Apple will continue to sell the current generation as a less-expensive model, for those who don't care about games.
Rewording slightly, since we are talking about buyers of Apple products::
Apple could put in a more powerful chip, which may imply a price hike for those who don't care about overpaying.
If someone breaks into your house and is about to shoot your child, but you shoot them first, and they die, you have committed murder (or at least manslaughter).
Wrong, in that case you haven't committed murder or manslaughter.
NSA was clearly perpetrating a greater crime
That's not clear to me at all. And even if it was true, expanding on your analogy - I can't shoot someone outside my house who is trying to steal my car. Whether or not Snowden should have exposed questionable practices by the NSA, he should have stopped there.
If you believe the US did wrong, then Snowden is a patriot. If you believe the US did no wrong, then Snowden is a traitor.
There are more than two choices. Most people think the NSA probably didn't break any laws, but got uncomfortably close to doing so. Perhaps the laws should be clarified or made stricter. But Snowden unquestionably broke laws by revealing NSA operations that are clearly legal.
As I read it, some people let their religious beliefs trump the answers to questions about their scientific literacy. I don't think means they're less committed to the scientific method, just that they're more committed to something else (or want to appear that they're more committed).
Other economics papers that reached similar conclusions such as the well known Growth in a Time of Debt also were based on flawed spreadsheets. It makes one question the entire hypothesis when the best known works on the subject are based on incorrect (or just plain fabricated) data.
I would ask you to explain what you meant by that post, but I think not. Nobody was hurt by this incident, nothing was contaminated; the spill (if there was one) was contained and cleaned up.
The linked article is pretty bad. This link has a little more information. Apparently the saving they claim comes from filling the pages that already have valid data more completely rather than writing to new pages within the same block (the reduced fragmentation claim); then the garbage collector has fewer pages to relocate when erasing that block (the speed-up claim). Of course if the garbage collection happens in the background the savings are moot.
The numbers you quote aren't quite right (his highway mileage with 10% ethanol gas is mid-60s), and he also replaced the engine to get some of that improvement. But overall it seems he did reduce wind drag by a lot. Boxy SUVs are especially bad in that regard.
It's not an inertial system either. Rather than a gyroscope, it detects movements through the Earth's magnetic field.
As an interesting historical aside, the reason Einstein worked for the patent office is because no one else there understood inertial navigation enough to be an expert witness in challenges to the patent.
Japan has started to exploit the many Trillions of cubic feet of natural gas trapped in methane hydrates. Clearly that's a better alternative than restarting a power plant that's been operating safely for decades.
The list is just examples of words a lawyer will latch onto. For the same reason doctors are instructed to never say they're sorry for a less than perfect outcome; it can be presented to a jury that they admitted guilt - whether they intended it that way or not.

Well, they do get some tax dollars to subsidize international mail.
But the the USPS is currently losing about $8 billion per year, so it's just a matter of time before Congress has to bail them out.
Except in this case the store is in China...

Trying to build a big web site like that with Hibernate. They had no chance.

Interesting thread. But it would be nice if Linus would tell us what he really thinks...
Better answer is recycling most of it into more fuel

Python? Fuhgeddaboutit. Can do, but with a lot more code.
Yea, with Python it takes up to nine lines of code to calculate the regression and generate a plot
The big problem is that it doesn't reduce the cost of the software, it increases the profit of the software provider
If it was that simple they would just increase the price. Keeping costs down so they can avoid a price increase is the goal.

The program, called High Assurance Cyber Military Systems, or HACMS
At least they have a sense of humor.

As opposed to political discussion where?

"Our reporter is live at the scene of the forest fire"
KABOOM
"Oops, not any more."
People complain about private industry. Until they have to deal with a service the government provides - then they complain about that even more.
Prison is to remove the criminal from society. Call it punishment if you want, but that's not the real purpose

They also altered anthropogenically modulated processes of shoreline change that had functioned for millennia.
I like what's printed on the back of their jackets "Police Politie". I take that to mean polite policeman :^)
But yea, forming a human chain in front of the building got the protesters arrested.
