No. Army has learned that a test can determine what role is best. Those with low scores are given bullet catcher infantry roles. Those that score best are given roles that are more mentally demanding like nuclear submarine engineer. It's not IQ, but it does say a lot about what kind of mental tasks a soldier can complete.
This. Been a cable cutter since before it was cool. Without the constant bombardment of "omg look new episode look look LOOK!!" you don't care when it comes out. Days, weeks, months, they mean nothing. Same goes for movies. Now I usually wait until the entire season is done before getting episodes, because its just easier to get everything at once then one episode at a time. While I'm waiting for a season to finish I usually find something good on Netflix. Netflix gets me so they get my money. Why pay money to some network that makes one or two good shows when I can pay Netflix and they give me thousands of shows and movies?
No, google does not want this. Google wants everyone to drop windows entirely, hence chromebooks. If companies are making devices with windows and android it defeats the purpose.
Unfortunately researcher is almost right. I have a teenage relative that only uses instagram and snapchat. She has a Facebook profile but that's only because myself and other "older" relatives use Facebook.
Except there was no release, just a photoshopped image. None of those Samsung phones were on the market. Apple releases the iPhone and Samsung cries "no fair! We were thinking of making something like that someday!" and then it took Samsung 2 years to make a iPhone clone.. No wonder apple sued them.
Nice "prior art" you have there, of course you're comparing a list of samsung design concepts from 2006 to the actual iPhone released 2007. Journalist had predicted Apple was releasing a phone for years and released artist concept photos, it would take nothing for Samsung to claim those were their design. This is what Samsung smartphones looked like in 2006.
No. Patents encourage innovation, otherwise someone would come out with something great and everyone would just make clones of it, there would be nothing new. Yes samsung I'm talking about your clones, please make something new, we had new and exciting phone designs before the iPhone why can't we have that now?
I did the same. When it came time to move it was cheaper to have a trailer hitch installed for $200 and rent the uhaul trailer for $20 a day with unlimited mileage than it was to rent a uhaul moving truck just for a weekend. If I even need to haul anything large I'll just rent a trailer now. It's very rare that I'm out and see a fridge or couch I must buy and take home that instant so there is no need for a truck. I even bought new interior doors recently and those fit fine in the SUV. My father drives a truck but I think it's because he's overweight and feels more comfortable in a truck... in fact that's probably why many Americans buy large trucks, the seating area is much larger than most cars or SUVs
People moderate because there is power in moderation. The moderator has the power to help control what people read, they can push their own agenda, and smack down some trolls too. Who doesn't enjoy that?
It's less about moderation and more about control and mob mentality, because now with people's name and Facebook being available the Internet can go attack that person they do not agree with. I think that is far more dangerous than a few negative comments.
Google is the worse for tying customers to their services. Sign up for email and suddenly I'm getting flooded with google+ garbage I never wanted or asked for and there's no way to disable or opt-out. And now they want to put our real names on every youtube comment we ever made? Talk about invasion of privacy, and people thought apple was bad for having a walled garden of apps. Anything that stops google sounds good to me.
A $500 camera that doesn't have Facebook, twitter, email or games? 1999 called, they want their camera back, especially when I can do the same thing with any smartphone in a few seconds. Who is this marketed to? I can't think of any market that would pay $500 for this.
Think he means Arabic. And you are right, worldwide I would say there are probably more Arabic and Asian programmers than Caucasian. Does that mean computer science education is racist or sexist? No.
If that is all the moon has then there is nothing to mine. Helium 3 is the only valuable thing on that list and even that is extremely rare on the moon so it would be extremely expensive to mine. Guess there is no need to mine the moon then.
Correct. The moon is 1/4th the size of the earth. Humans can't even begin to mine that much on earth let alone on the moon, and remember there's no oil on the moon so we won't be collecting oil or natural gas, only the most valuable and rare minerals will be mined. Compared to the size of the moon we will be mining practically nothing, and moon mining will be very slow going compared to mining on earth.
Mining on the moon will be completely different than on earth. No oxygen = no gas engines, and no dinosaurs = no oil = no gasoline. Everything will be battery and solar or nuclear powered. And we haven't even covered what people will eat. Makes more sense just to send robots or rovers, might be slower than humans but easier to keep alive. Actually couldn't they do that now? Don't we have a rover on the moon now controlled from earth? Just need a rocket to land there, rover fills it up, rocket comes back to earth..... Profit!??
Is the moon profitable now? Meaning, can someone retrieve enough resources today to make the expensive trip there and back worth it? If not then no corporation is going to care now, they're not going to spend billions to buy land on the moon hoping it will be cheaper to get there and back in 20+ years. Therefore governments will need to divide up land on the moon now.
You are not forced to update with ios7 either. What they're saying is new apps will not be compatible with ios6. But if you like your ios6 and current apps you can keep your ios6 and current apps

The fact that people accept the treadmill desk that don't accept glass tells you that glass is on a whole other level of doucheness

I hope this goes international, seems like a great idea compared to a taxi, especially if they can figure out daily and weekly rates too.

I could see Sony suing Apple. Sony has always been pretty innovative, from Walkman to minidisc to ms duo.
Your MacBook Air came with a UPS built-in, it's called the battery.
I would buy it, as would about 70% of the population based on latest polls

Do they need to be on the grid? Seems a few extra solar panels or a natural gas generator would be enough to handle peak usage.

Yep and it says it was fully funded over 8 months ago so where is it? Or is this an ad for vaporware?
