does it work without an iphone? what does it do that an iPhone does not or cannot? will it be subsidized by ATT and Verizon like iPhones are? who still wears watches? will they switch if they do? will they start now if they dont?
"But Yik Yak's particular design can produce especially harmful consequences"
The consequence that you only thought that "rude" "offensive" "racicist" "*-phobic" people who posted anonymously on the internet only lived far, far away?
It really is amazing how weak and thin skinned people today are. Is the nursery school play ground change "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" today replaced by "but name will kill me!" ???
Is 10 years enough if you sell/buy bootleg cigarettes or booze? Instead of looking at the fundamental issue (cost) that creates the black markets, the "leaders" seek ever higher penalties that never seem to stop the undesired actions.
it is all about pricing and availability. If the media companies want to reduce piracy then make their products priced and available in a manner that people want - that need not equat to "free". If instead, they insist on maintaining prices and policies that encourage blackmarkets, they should treat it as a cost of doing business.
^this. An non-wired, dedicated e-reader removes the distraction. An an e-ink reader is far easier on the eyes over the long term than backlit displays. It still won't help with the issue of a book being three dimensional vs 2.
IIRC there are other results that further limit the space available for SUSY, minimal or otherwise. But just like string theory, its supporters refuse to go away.
Sure, lots of interest in javascript, php. What is the longevity of that code (beyond libraries)? Weeks? Months? And not sure public github or stack overflow are really as representative as they want to believe
Since 1986, more and more fuel storage pools have approached their maximum holding capacity (Figure 4). By 2017, all but one site (which was constructed with sufficient pool storage capacity to accommodate all of the spent fuel produced during the reactor’s lifetime) will be at capacity, necessitating the greater use of dry storage.
On site storage is not a viable or better long term solution. We are only now hitting a point where reactors are starting to be retired. Do you think that the utility companies running them will have the same committment to the storage 10, 50, 250 years later? The same can be said about security. Even regionalizing above ground storage poses risks and certainly increases the political drama
As another poster notes, some of it could be reprocessed for further use but ultimately there is waste to deal with. And it is true that MOX does not itself pose any terrorist type risk, the risk comes from having too many reprocessing locations where materials can be "lost". Done properly reprocessing could buy some time to deal with the longer term needs.
Yeah, they've only outgrown the rest of the PC market for almost all quarters during the last couple of years. Total failure.
For a decade now we have heard that iPod this, iPhone that was going to enable Apple to win the PC industry. All it did was move their share from the low end of the historical range to just above to top end (again, depending what metric you use and who calculates it).
You are confusing the margins on the devices that Blackberry sells with the fact that they sell far to little to make a profit. Apple has those high margins because they sell so many. As for Microsoft, they sure as hell sell hardware, but either at low or negative margins.
No, it is you who are confused. The original poster was attempting to claim that others had higher gross margins, including Blackberry. In FY2012, Blackberry had gross margins of 35.7%. I guess it was too much trouble for you to do the math? As to MSFT - of 86B in revenues in 2014, only 11.6B was from hardware.
What a lame excuse. So billions have been sunk on this project only to have it shuttered over Harry Reid. Its not like the nuke waste has another home to go to. Open the damn thing already.
Those margins are not anything close to that stated in the original post. Microsoft is primarily a software comapny and has margins in line for that industry. As to Samsung, their margins are actually at the upper end of recent years.
As to Apple and software sales, what is the margin on Final Cut Pro (and think what it was when it cost more than $299) Logic Pro X @ 199? But in the end, those do not matter as without iPhone Apple is at best a third or fourth place computer maker with marketshare in the 5 to 10% range (historically).
Somehow I don't think a secure location is going to be too worried about this type of attack unless someone can show it working with an extremely small receiver which is also able to log the data for later use. Also note that even at the slow rate she was typing it still missed characters.
So while academically interesting, this seems to be something of very limited concern. Of course, if you see an antenna like that in the coffeeshop you might want to leave.
the soft sciences have a hard enough time reproducing the results of even one study and yet these guys (and they are not alone) are doing meta analysis of many other studies. Uncle. I would love to see how they calculated their error bars.
Why thank you for putting me in the tech industry after twenty in finance. But it is true, before I was in finance I was in "IT" for three years. And now I dabble in app development.
As to women plumbers - virtually any plumber is freakin rich. Have you hired one to do work (most often on the 'omfg get here an hour ago!' basis)? The point was that there are many career tracks available to women which can pay extremely well.
Unfortunately, people seem hell bent on seeing discrimination and other boogie men around every corner. Just as an FYI, when I was in IT, in that Arpanet only age, every boss I had was... gasp... a woman! And I know this might really throw you for a loop. The next level up (VP that is) were also women.
You are a freakin idiot. Go tell your boss that you are releasing your "patch" into his production system and then plan to submit more "revised" patches when new problems/incompatabilities are found. Please do not ever work for a bank or aerospace company.
You really woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Crime? There is no obligation by any of these companies to you to repair or replace any of the flaws. You license (or buy outright) the software AS IS. That you may also buy some type of "service contract" that provides for periodic ugrades, updates and fixes does not in any way oblige the software producer to fix any one specific flaw.
You may not like that system and you can certainly chose to go open source... where btw, who is guilty of the "crime" when a flaw is not fixed for months or years?

maybe next time have it moving? like oh 50 mph? and not in a straight line?
Isn't that what all the anti-NN peoples said? And here we have Verizoff actually innovating for a change!
if I add a second head as a new dependent?
offtopic: I do like the menu moving to the top of the page but think you still need to provide a little more border on the LHS.

what makes these corporate suits think they can be certain they were not hacked or the uses of the hack... all inside of one week?
what ever happened to that? Did they finally realize it was a pointless mission?
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc all give me the freedom to share my life with others if I so desire.

Air Force? Europe? Why didn't the French use it to get to Africa instead of bumming rides on US transports?
Er... huh? "Apple's Gross Margin is 39.9% - Samsung's is 39.87." Both sell a lot of hardware, and in Samsung's case a lot of other random stuff.
As to the others, I refer you to:

I'm sure that Apples margins on software products is comparable. Apple is 90% phone mfg. now. 40% margins on end-user hardware is quite high.
is calls that don't go through because the rural company expects 5, 10 or more cents to connect and the other side only pays 1 or 2.
