If you eavesdrop on someone having a private conversation in a public setting, don't expect to hear a politically correct message. It amazes me that a "strong, independent woman" crumbles into this powerless victim once someone random makes a random comment. To name this event 'donglegate' is quite funny OTOH.
Oh man, I'm going to have so much fun posting her picture in the next months on twitter, claiming she's everywhere making insensitive remarks. She will never work in this town again.
Perhaps diesel was selected for this particular car with a reason, e.g. better resilience against EMP attacks, or maybe the extended mileage and less danger of explosions? Or is it just a coincidence?
I am still convinced that battery powered cars are not economically viable, and from an environmental point of view, your average electric car contributes more to global pollution before its even driven a single mile than a generic truck. (due to for instance all the needed platina and rare earth metals) This makes the government sponsoring charging stations (tax breaks and grants) look silly at the least. The only responsible, proven and truly sustainable energy forms are nuclear and hydrogen. Everything else is just short term thinking, while creating a huge mess for future generations. What are our grand children going to do with all the wind mills we now place? These too are highly toxic. With nuclear, at least we know it's dangerous and handle it appropriately.
Dude, there are already *two* charging points per unique electric car. Paid for with taxpayer money. Nobody buys battery powered electric cars because they are heavy, unreliable, and are economically written off after only 5 years.Please shove that extra charging point up your behind.
There are TWO charging points per electric car in the Netherlands. And people are NOT intrerested in driving them. Talking about wasting resources, taxpayers money and free parking spaces.. Everyone I'm talking to, who's interested in real solutions for the environment is waiting for a H2 powered car. Nothing less.
Yup, that is the one, iGoogle. My default page for the last 5 years or so. Why they would retire that is beyond understanding, it attracts a ton of users at a relatively low cost. I am trying to do without the page at the moment, and find that I consume *much* less of Google's services as a consequence. I even started appreciating Bing and Live Maps as viable alternatives, who knows, my next phone may even be a WP8 device! (shrudders).
Boo hoo, I want my pirated warez, and now that software publishers have finally discovered how to stop piracy, I won't be able to play as I definitely won't spend any cash on a game. ever. I'll go back to tuxracer now if you don't mind.
I'd say simulating a few 100k agents would take a specialized setup, I for one am glad that the simulation is performed in the cloud. They should release the server software, however. Besides, I think the game looks absolutely gorgeous and very addictive.
No - The best approach would be to just deliver the product with all four cores intact and market it as such. Your proposition is like selling oranges, but 75% of the orange contains poison. You can only neutralize the poison with a specific antidote, only provided by the farmer, and otherwise you can only eat 25% and will have to throw the 75% away. That means that your product is now 75% waste. and thus could have been produced at 25% of the cost. I do not think that economists would find your process a very efficient approach.
No, the thing is that they got a court order to remove certain content -not infringing, but aiding in infringement- , and then they proceed to serve exactly that content. I wonder what the judge in this case would think. Old media analogy would be Sony suing the NY Times for publishing a magazine on how to copy rented tapea. And after tehe Times is convicted, publishing that same magazine.
Yes, exactly, there's the agreement. The falcon stays with the human, who will not eat it, and will provide it with food and shelter. In exchange for hunting and giving up their prey. Same with dogs. And very similar to horses. I am convinced that both sides understand this agreement- these kind of deals are biologic and have nothing to do with reasoning, it is not uncommon for different species of animals working together for mutual benefit. Like that little bird which cleans a crocodiles teeth.
Mankind sort-of made a pact with horses. They let you ride on their back and agree to be used for labor, but in return you promise not to kill them for food. Similar deals have been made with for instance donkeys, dogs, cats and falcons. They hunt for us, guard us or carry our loads. Cows appear much less intelligent and you won't be able to make such a deal. They are basically a meat-milk-excrement factory, barely intelligent enough to stay awake. All they do all day is stand around and eat. Therefore we are allowed to eat them. On a sidenote, this is the reason I don't eat pig. They are way too intelligent to be brought to the slaughterhouse.
So if you apply this reasoning to slide-to-unlock, you can patent a specific slider, but neither the sliding nor the unlocking? That would be an interesting line of reasoning for the attorney.
You are so right. People who disclose (already public) academic data should be thrown in jail for the rest of their lives! After dragging them through hellish court procedures. How dare they disobey the ruling class! That's your point, right?

orly?
and regularly used it's position to lock out software it was trying to become dominant in.
- Apple abuses its position to remove competitive software from the app store
apple does none of these things and is no where near as big
- Apple was a while ago the most valued company ever. (based on stock price)

No if I'm correct, a gas engine needs electricity to keep running, where a conventional diesel engine does fine without spark plugs

The ISS is paid for by tax payers worldwide. Taxying rich individuals would therefore be akin to them calling a police car to get a ride downtown.
So he went from a lot of manufacturers; Sony, Palm, Dell, Microsoft, etc, to one single electronics vendor, Apple. How do you keep so unbiased!
My favorite is 'steak and blowjob day' .. which is, coincidentally, today..

fixed that.
Because there is no prior art in second-hand sales (even using a computer, internet, mobile device, whatever)

People still use iPhones? Do shops in the US actually still sell those devices? Amazing, that's like walking into a game shop and being offered a NES.
There's a huge difference between having sex (or even just appearing naked in front of people) and cleaning a toilet, to a lot of US citizens
FTFY
Either, that, or fiddling with the emergency dial function and the on-off button, which seems to work as well ..

As soon as you take the die apart and find the identical circuit implementation in both chips you have a patent violation.
But (in the case of software) you can't! DMCA forbids reverse engineering so you will never be able to investigate.
