No what killed them was the switch to Windows Phone.
"Nokia was dying already" is bullshit and lying with statistics. When Elop took over Nokia, even at the time of his Burning Platforms memo, Nokia was still the de facto leader in "smartphones". The only way you can say it wasn't is to ignore their Symbian marketshare with devices like the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and their ilk.
Symbian had limitations but they had plenty of time to develop their own OS if they wanted to. Or switch to Android. Or whatever.
Windows Phone was a terrible solution. They used a brand new Windows Phone version which basically had no apps compared with Windows Mobile. Then they obsoleted the APIs of that Windows Phone OS again for the even newer version which once again had no apps for it.
Actually Samsung is ahead because they are the only ones selling 3D NAND right now. The Micron press release is more impressive than Toshiba's, sure, but it will take a couple of months before it gets into store shelves.
$5000 seems kind of in the low side for a low-volume production. The initial units were sure to cost a lot more. Also a fuel cell that works with complex hydrocarbons as a fuel is more expensive to manufacture because you need a fuel reformer. Even SOFC fuel cells can burn only simple hydrocarbons like CH4 but must be made of brittle ceramics and run at high temperatures.
Quoting Wikipedia: "The basic idea is that a dielectric, which is normally insulating, can be made to conduct through a filament or conduction path formed after application of a sufficiently high voltage. The conduction path can arise from different mechanisms, including vacancy or metal defect migration. Once the filament is formed, it may be reset (broken, resulting in high resistance) or set (re-formed, resulting in lower resistance) by another voltage. Many current paths, rather than a single filament, are possibly involved." "Compared to PRAM, RRAM operates at a faster timescale (switching time can be less than 10 ns), while compared to MRAM, it has a simpler, smaller cell structure (less than 8F MIM stack)."
It's a so called reactionless drive. Assuming it works that is. We are talking about the realm of sci-fi here.
Dr. Martin Tajmar seems to have a peculiar interest in anti-gravity with superconductors though. So I wouldn't put a lot of faith in these experiments.
Just put the damned thing in a micro-satellite and test it. Then we will see if it works or not.
all, the vaccinations we're talking about here are for diseases that are rarely fatal and that almost everybody can protect themselves against by getting vaccinated
BS. Even the common flu kills quite a lot of people every fucking year.
It's still a moron argument. Any argument that goes by the "if he only died faster none of this would have happened" is a bad argument. Corpses can also spread disease as well FWIW.
The whole problem snowballed because the powers that be in Europe pushed private bank debt onto the taxpayers of the Eurozone. But sure keep bickering with the working stiffs in Greece and elsewhere who are also paying for a debt they didn't make.
The Greeks are also paying for Slovak thievery and corruption. In case you did not know Greece is now a net contributor to the EU structural funds.
If you want to complain to someone, complain to France and Germany for pushing to roll bad Greek private bank debt to French and German banks into the ECB common pool which Slovaks (along with the rest of the Eurozone) are on the hook for.
You need to read some more. A lot of tax havens are actually known as places to evade paying personal income taxes as well. Monaco is one of those places. Monaco basically gets their income from Casino profits. Again they can do this because the place is quite small. The Monte Carlo casino used to be known, and probably still is known, as a money laundering enterprise. You take your money, convert it into chips, gamble a bit, and then you convert those chips back into money again. The Casino and the Monegasque government gets their cut of course. But I can get something about corporate taxation in Estonia if you want me to: http://taxmoneyhavens.com/2014...

Not really. Symbian was pretty open back then. Sony Ericsson manufactured phones with it as well.

XPoint is less dense. A lot less dense. So it will be more expensive for GB.
So far SSDs have only barely kept up with software bloat. They need more density.

Use valgrind. It helps. A lot.
Neither is Soylent. Notice the author doesn't make any claims that it can replace all meals.
There are all sorts of protein drinks you can buy in sports stores in case you are interested.
Or you could just drink milk. I bet it's cheaper. I think Tesla himself survived on milk and cookies. But who am I to know...
Both.
This could be it: Resistive random-access memory i.e. ReRAM.

Material based makes it sound like the Ovonics (Phase-change) memory that has been bandied about since like forever by Intel.
The performance seems to be more in line with MRAM though. I suspect some of those claims they make are bullshit. But we'll see.

This article was almost as bad as the one about the self-destruct e-mails.
Yes. Don't vaccinate them. So they will die faster.
Not nearly as bad as some viruses. Those actually can change your DNA. They are called retro-viruses.
Anti-vaxxers are idiots. Just like that bozo who refused to pay the fire department and then wanted the department to put the fire in his house down.
Viruses mutate dipshit. The more hosts for the virus the faster it will mutate.

Yes. You need to kick the non-vaccinated out of the public school system. Like we used to.

"it will also unlock a feature that won’t allow forwarding, meaning only the person you sent your message to will be able to see it"
Then I'll copy and paste the text to another Windows and foward it.
What the article describes is not e-mail. It's an messaging app with a different protocol using e-mail only as a transport mechanism.
