There are times I find text perfectly appropriate but it is generally limited to 'how much longer until you get here' or yes/no type of questions. For anything needing an explanation it is tedious.
Isn't doing what you are doing (I assume that you are truthful) just compounding the problem of conversation with new people? How will you ever get better at it?
You have heard of... voicemail? vibrate? If not being interrupted is so important your phone should be off as text messages and e-mail are also a distraction.
You do realize that the US still produces a significant amount of oil, right? Like 50% of its needs? And that the US is the larger exporter of refined products? And that imported oil would still be refined here in the US thus "creating jobs for Amerikans".
And I'm sure the people of Russia have similar feelings about the US, as do a lot of other countries.
So you are one of those people (a not insignificant number) who find it an affront to actually speak to another person and instead chose to send some multiple of 10 text messages back and forth over an extended period of time to accomplish what would take 30 seconds by voice.
How long before text messages too are viewed ask ickky?
I use IDEA Community edition, not the 'Android Studio' repackaged version. From what I understand, there really is not a lot of difference between them.
I have been using IDEA Community 13 so not the Google specific package for Android devel work. As someone who had never used an IDEA of this level of sophistication, I found an initial week trial run of both IDEA and Eclipse left me favoring IDEA and have not looked back. I did briefly toy with Netbeans which seems a nice environment but was lacking in android focus so I did not put effort into exploring it more fully.
Also, while I can't speak for the Eclipse community, the IDEA support and bug community have been very responsive.
Are you certain of that statement? What is the measure of "advance quickly?" How are you factoring in population growth? You statement was probably applicable at any past point in time. I could stand at 1900 and say 'at no time has science advanced as quicly as 1850-1900'... and so on. Well, maybe not the dark ages but you get the point.
Whether the government has had a role in "scientific progress" is not really material to how science is funded nor what the appropriate mix of funding sources should be.
Also, please provide a reference for your NASA/DOD claim.
It really was not until the Manhattan project and post WWII cold war that government became the patron of scientists. Was Diract writing grant requests? Bohr? Heisenberg? Shockley (et al)?
This is a really encouraging sign and should be looked upon favorably even if it is not prefect. Philanthropists have been on the sidelines for a long time now and it will be a learning process for all involved on how to best utilize funding.
So thats like..almost 700 movies? I dont think I've watched even half that many in my entire life.. Not telling people what to do by any means but I do think some people are becoming digital pack rats / digital hoarders. Perhaps that is a new category needing intervention by social services!
No supervision? Then its the fucking parents fault. Did they not give the password in the first place? How about parents take some responsibility for knowing what their kids are doing and how payment systems work before handing over the keys.
There are many > 1TB tape back up systems, many with very high speeds, assuming you can feed it data fast enough.
I have to wonder though.. 20TB for a single person? I'm not gonna do the math but that sounds like so much stuff to be impossible to listen/watch all of it.
But at least he has proven once again, RAID is not a backup. RAID will merrily do what ever you wish, including copying drive corruption.
"1) How is ITER going to succeed if one of its major contributors pulls out?"
The US pays about 10%. Guess they'll have to find a way to make it less of a boondoggle?
"2) Are there any domestic programs with a better chance of success and a more concrete plan? (I'm not aware of any.)"
Given that ITER uses the same tired methods that have been worked on a very long time, I'd say yes all the alternatives have just as good a chance and for far less money.
BTW: The largest constraint on SUSY partner masses does not come from the $9bn LHC, but from the ACME collaboration's measurement of the electron electric dipole moment, a $6M tabletop atomic physics experiment.
Gasp! You mean maybe, just maybe, CERN might want to hold off on those grandiose plans for a bigger, better LHC and think if it might be able to toss that cash around and get better bang for the..um..Euro?
"it might be time to start hammering in those coffin nails."
Quite clearly you are a SUSY denier. Have you not seen the models? The many papers? To deny the existence of SUSY is to deny all but certain fact! And do not resort to quoting LHC "results" as that is just chery picking from the very large parameter space SUSY occupies!
Dude I want to drive my car 100 mph on the highway but the governments deny me the right to use my car freely. You have no inherent "right" to use a product in any way other than that intended by the manufacturer. If you can, well happy days for you. If you (or others) don't like that a certain product is "closed" then get off your ass, get funding and make an alternative and stop whining about it. It is not the fault of the company if they say "uses xyz replacement parts" and you fail to check to see if you can use "abc replacement parts" instead. That is down to your bad buying decision.
and give the money to our own domestic fusion researchers. If ITER ultimately leads the way to a marketable fusion reactor I am sure we can either licenses the tech or let foreigners build the plants - far cheaper for the tax payer while supporting our own alternative research.
restrictions that should not exist because you do not like them?
Let another maker of coffee machines market themself as "universal" and the GMCR machine as 'outrageous'. Nobody is forcing you to buy either. You will live another day without a single serve automated coffee making machine. If GMCR succeeds, welll good for them. If they fail, good for the other guys.
And that just it - people should stop whining about 'anticompetitive' this and that. Consumers will deicde. Are they willing to put up with the reduced and/or more expensive choice of coffees? If not, word will get around pretty quickly and it will die a miserable death.

Wonder about the pollution (not just CO2) from the production (and eventual disposal) of the batteries in EVs.

and lets not forget that it was 'overhyped' so much so that nobody has a clue what it is/was/does.
are you using the Intel HAXM speed up? Emulator on intel hardware should be more than usable.

You subscribe to the currently common delusion that an "OS" is a graphical shell and userland toys.
