Some oil in traded in Euros. Iraq started trading in Euros shortly before they got invaded by the US - the US imposed government switched back to USD. Iran has been trading in Euros. Venuzela has traded oil in Euros.
Virgin is NOT doing LEO, or even anything orbital. They're heading to 110km and then heading back down again with all the publicity that Branson can manage (and he can manage a whole lot of publicity).
Orion's design spec is for travel beyond orbit. They're also working on an Orion-lite to deal with the orbital stuff, which can carry more people due to not needing the extra equipment for travelling outside of Earth orbit.
Atlas V has a comparable, although a little lower, lift capacity to a Falcon 9 Heavy. Titan IV are a little larger than an Ariane 5 ES (which launches the ATV to the ISS). Delta IV Heavy is a little less than an Ariane 5 ES. Proton are a little less than the Ariane 5 Heavy.
The Shuttle - that does 24,000kg. Slightly more than the Ariane 5 ES (21,000kg), but less than the Falcon 9 Heavy (32,000kg).
The Shuttles main benefit is the volume of the stuff being lifted, like the ISS modules, and the benefit of it being a dockable cargo ship which can be unloaded externally.
Apple refused to share with Nokia and the other members of the GSM Alliance, so Nokia told them what the terms were to license those patents if you don't want to share. Apple protested these terms as being unfair and anti-competitive as Apple wanted the same terms as those who were willing to share without offering anything in return.
Apple wants to use everyones technology without having to pay for it while refusing to share their own technology with those they are taking from.
Part of the incubator project is WAIB (Wave in a Box) - which you can download now off the main Wave Protocol website (www.waveprotocol.org) which allows you to run your own Wave Server - including a supplied web interface. The Wave protocol includes federation so you can link up WAIB.
I bought my Android phone and have a pre-pay data plan which I top up and and when I want to use it - otherwise, like yourself I'm using the wifi that is all around me.
Using Google Maps for SatNav does eat through my data credit though.
Back in August - Assange was in Sweden when this first hit the media. The charges were dropped back then and he was allowed to leave the country after they said they didn't want to talk to him.
From the quotes back in August and those now, it seems that Assange has tried to help the Swedish police with their enquiries as much as possible.
Their research is the most important possible for the kids of this generation.
No kid is going to get excited about science and go "yay, I want to be a scientist and study string theory". They are more likely to want to play with focusing mirrors to make fire, to use high pressure water hose to make jetpacks.
Mythbusters shows that you can make cool & interesting stuff at home which will get kids interested in becoming the next generation of scientists and engineers.
Einstein was a patent clerk. Da Vinci was a painter. Priestley was clergy (he discovered oxygen, & invented carbonated drinks). Since when was a lack of university education & a job in the field a requirement to be a scientist - all you need is the ability and interest to investigate the subject. Even better if you can encourage the next generation to become interested too.
Studying science academically just means you're taught what everyone else already knows and your thinking is moulded by your lecturers.
To make decent and safe explosions, you need to be a physicist as well as a chemist, and I'm sure most pyrotechnicians don't have either of those to degree level.
Because it throws out everything about what we know is good about how to design a modern scheduler in scalability. Because it's so ridiculously simple. Because it performs so ridiculously well on what it's good at despite being that simple. Because it's designed in such a way that mainline would never be interested in adopting it, which is how I like it. Because it will make people sit up and take notice of where the problems are in the current design. Because it throws out the philosophy that one scheduler fits all and shows that you can do a -lot- better with a scheduler designed for a particular purpose. I don't want to use a steamroller to crack nuts. Because it actually means that more CPUs means better latencies. Because I must be fucked in the head to be working on this again. I'll think of some more becauses later.
I thought Acorn did rather well. They developed a CPU for their Archimedes PC and then licensed the design to everyone who wanted it. Even Intel license Acorns CPU design they did that well.
"Whether the proposed use is of additional benefit to passengers. Applications which in NRE’s reasonable opinion are of demonstrable benefit to passengers will be granted unless outweighed by a material adverse impact on TOCs (whether financially, strategically, operationally or in regards to their reputation or the reputation of the industry as a whole)."
So their own code says they will kick you if you financially impact the TOCs (Train Operating Companies). ie. You produce a free product which competes with their own mobile apps.
Its not the carriers - its the hardware manufacturers. Some of the hardware manufacturers don't want to upgrade to 2.2
Samsung - ask them if they're going to update the original Galaxy i7500 (its not that old). They were hard pressed to update it to 1.6 and they've abandoned the hardware now they have the other Galaxy branded hardware out there.
Sony - just when is 2.x coming out for the X10 Xperia? Its been pushed back every time they get close to the release date and it was promised 'soon' when the phone was released.
Phones last longer than their contract period - so the hardware manufacturers should be putting in place support for the devices for more than 12-18 months.
NASA's own copyright notice states you can't claim any other rights on NASA copyright material. So as its NASA's picture, then McCandless is unable to main any additional claims to the picture or its content.
I'd like to know the name of his lawyer so I can avoid using them - ever.
Not all members of the Commonwealth were British colonies. A number of other countries have applied to join anyway as they see a regional benefit to being a member.
Mozambique - used to be a Portugese colony. Now a member of the Commonwealth (since 1995) Rwanda - used to be a Belgian & German colony. A member since 2009.
Algeria & Madagascar have also both applied to join having no prior links to the British overseas
He never reported the dog being missing to the police - only to the local vets.
If he had reported it to the police 3 years ago when the dog went missing then he'd have the crime number and be able to prove it really was a lost/missing/stolen dog rather than the sale of a pet a few years later. Then when the dog shows up again, he can reference that crime number and have the police follow it up. "I was robbed 3 years ago" doesn't sound that good a defence to claim ownership if you didn't report the robbery.
If the dog was lost then after a period of time after being handed in then the finder can claim the item as being theirs, so no - the dog doesn't have to be the original owners property if if was legitimately lost & found & attempted to be returned.
So an Indian company is quoting the DMCA in takedown notices to get people to remove content before they then illegally impair electronic communication in a completely different company.
Employing someone to commit a criminal act usually gets a larger sentence than the criminal act itself.

So use a bluetooth keyboard. Then you can get a nice keyboard and use it on any of the phones which allow you to link to it.

Cost is 1/42 the price. You've not mentioned Retail :-)
At retail to the airports they'll come out as being fairly close to the backscatter scanners.

Your iPod as a little tiny Acorn CPU inside it.

Forget the mask - have a baseball cap covered in IR LEDs.
That should mask your face from their cameras
The key bit in their Code of Practice for access to the data ( http://www.atoc.org/about-atoc/national-rail-enquiries/code-of-practice ) is:
"Whether the proposed use is of additional benefit to passengers. Applications which in NRE’s reasonable opinion are of demonstrable
benefit to passengers will be granted unless outweighed by a material adverse impact on TOCs (whether financially, strategically, operationally or in regards to their reputation or the reputation of the industry as a whole)."
So their own code says they will kick you if you financially impact the TOCs (Train Operating Companies). ie. You produce a free product which competes with their own mobile apps.
Even the summary said its The Times in the UK and not the New York Times.
Or they're using them for complex modelling - like everyone else who has one uses them for.

Or hows this for a crazy idea. Put your phone down and don't use it until you are stopped at the side of the road or at your destination.
