You do realize unless you see dropped signals (usually seen as sparklies on screen), SNR means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when it comes to digital cable, right? You do know that for digital signals, it is either on or off, and no gradation between, right?
Any artistic endeavor is going to have trouble with schedule and budget, because you are never quite sure where you are going to end up. You can make artistic compromises to bring in dates and lower budget, but the outcome is usually not worth the trouble.
Most of these studies are based on BMI which is not very reliable at all. It could be that people getting HEALTHIER are contributing to rise in BMI. If you work out regularly and have decent muscle mass, you will be considered "overweight" via BMI (even with 10% body fat). They really need to better define what overweight and obese is before pumping out more studies like this.
What is really scary is that with Kinect, always-on architecture, and required net connection, NSA has a perfect inside view of EVERY home with XboxOne around the world. Think about THAT!
I grew up eating silkworm larvae and grasshopper legs. They are quite delicious, I assure you they are not at all gross. It is all cultural. Insects are very viable food source.

I do not think you understand what is involved with a trip to Mars. It is very very far away. We have to wait for decades to get the planets close enough just to try to get there with the technology we have. The cost involved with sending things over there is astronomical. We have not been able to do much more than send robots. We cannot send enough provisions to allow humans to live for more than a few months. This is one way trip to die relatively quickly. I do not believe that any TV station in western civilization will agree to broadcast that.
I vehemently disagree that there is no downside. Goldman Sachs is not paying millions to put these servers at the exchanges because they are a benevolent entities. They are doing it because they can suck the profits out of trades. These trades would have happened with HFT, just a bit longer. And the spread would have gone to the either the seller of the buyer. Instead, we now have a middleman that no one asked for getting a slice. A microsecond liquidity is not real liquidity, it is just an illusion of liquidity gone as quickly as it appears.
I have studied HFT a bit. If you have some literature about real benefits, I would love to see it. All I have seen is how it adds "liquidity" to the market without stating what benefit that additional liquidity does for small investors. As even you have stated, there is no additional benefit for microsecond transaction. Why are we allowing something with no benefits?
I didn't realize Wall Street was so caring about small investors...
Seriously, if what you are saying is true, why do HFT purveyors need their servers right next to the exchange servers? If all they are doing is increasing liquidity, why do they need to intercept information before anybody else sees them?
HFT needs to be shut down. All it does is suck profit from small investors.
You are prosecuting people for what they do - making a bomb. Following your logic, owning a nuclear bomb is perfectly fine. You may not have problems with that, but I do and so do most sane people living in a society.
Then why do we ban people from making bombs or even owning ingredients used for making bombs. I cannot go out and just buy a ton of ammonium nitrate. So, should we just repeal any and all laws like that one?
The standard support is now 5 years for MS products.
That was the case for WP as well, but carriers balked since their warranties were considerably shorter. This change is being made so that the OS support is consistent with the device warranties.
It used to be that all Windows OS got 5 years of support. That was the case for Windows Phone 7. But that was not popular with the wireless carriers as their device warranties only lasted 18 months and did not want the hassle of updating their devices beyond that point.
Microsoft is making this change so that the OS support is consistent with the device warranty.
If you want to complain, complain to the carriers.
Punching someone in the face, refusing to rent and apartment, etc. is a "speech" that is prohibited because it infringes on others' rights. Just like how you cannot yell "fire" in a theater or lie and defame someone in press.
If you want to punch yourself in the face, you have the freedom of the speech to do so.

Yes, because we all know, nobody knows what is cool and what is hot better than the students/professors at MIT...

We better make sure the chief scientist at "Matternet" is not named Miles Dyson...
Sure, always blame the victim. Pluto is such a planetary whore...

So what your saying is WiFi radiation is cancelling out Cell Phone radiation???!!!!
