I don't recall having heard anything from them in quite some time, I'm not really the newsy sort. Apologies, but all I receive is what filters in from folks around me (who I typically disregard for similar reasons). News agencies tend to exposit their information without citing sources, often making them a dead-end citation.
Somewhat speculation on my part, but cell phones that have been spuriously disconnected from a network can cause issues for the related telephone networks trying to ring through to them, especially when they were last associated with less developed switching systems. If I pull the battery from my phone, the number of rings before voice mail is reached becomes erratic (T-mobile). If the phones still worked in any capacity, there'd be significant amounts of data (in any of the telecom systems along the routes) to attest to this, owing to people from many origins systems trying to ring them. Simplest explanation ("something" happened, plane flew on autopilot until fuel exhaustion and crashed) is likely the least-incorrect one here, at least in my opinion.
The answer to the problem is to step up your game and engage in discussion about the topics at hand, rather than rip on the venue where the discussion would otherwise be taking place.
In this case, the suggested mechanism is the significant amounts of particulate literally darkening the ice sheets. Of course, that doesn't mean we need to disregard the other stuff coming out.
Also, might see if Northrop could bang out a plan for a single-engine miniaturized form of the YF-23. I want to be able to trust our defense contractors to turn out projects on time and under budget, and Lockheed will likely forever be on the shitlist there.
and bolt them back together as half the number of higher-spec twin-engine planes. That would be kinda cool. This whole game has been one of the loveliest examples of 'sunk cost fallacy' as implemented by any entity, within the bounds of my own lifetime.
Don't forget the folks who basically volunteer for the job under the assumption that they'll be taken care of when their political career tanks. I guess what I'm trying to say is that not everyone wants their money up front.
What I was not fond of, however, was trying to get Ti ACX100 chipset drivers working; no success with ndiswrapper, had to compile the drivers from source. I feel I am a better person for having gotten through said trial.
My early Linux experiences were with Suse 8.1 with KDE 3, and I found it to be very usable (as well as looking nice). Ran tolerably on a PIII 800 with 768MB RAM.
Stuff Windows in a VM and live happily ever after. At that point, the choice of host OS becomes less relevant, so long as the system is stable. Almost entirely upsides to this, unless you're dealing with software that is dependent on hardware acceleration for tolerable performance. Being able to snapshot Windows instances is a godsend when you're doing non-trivial reconfigurations... a couple minutes to restore a disk snapshot, versus taking your chances with System Restore, or spending hours trying to pull down backups from 'the cloud'. Being able to migrate the VM to other hardware without a fuss is also huge.
My experience with the ones that use the camera (or perhaps some sensor within it?) as a proximity sensor is that if you render it completely opaque, the phone will work just fine, but will not be able to turn off the screen during calls.
Indeed, it's usually not a problem at all, unless someone is having some sort of physical reaction to their perceptions morality being accosted, or more likely, you're dealing with one of those douche noodles that like to fumigate their surrounding environment with the damn things.
Firstly, congrats on (i'm assuming) whipping the cancer. I believe the claim that it directly ruins the eyes to be a bit much, but there are also studies that suggest that significant screen time does have various effects on the developing brain. Improvement of eye-hand coordination associated with video games seems like a plus, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn of other effects associated with vision in the future.
Not a good analogy to draw that conclusion from, unless we're talking about kids squinting at their Sony Watchman or if the tablet is the size of an average television. Viewing distance almost certainly matters, especially when we're getting inside of arms-length territory.

That's the epoch you chose? I'll admit, they've been on the decline, but I hope you don't seriously believe it started there.
While I generally disagree with your original post, CNN is inherently an absolutely awful citation.

Yours would join them if I hadn't already commented. Offtopic, too meta.

Because oligopolies are as American as apple pie?
I hold a similar viewpoint; if the universe is truly infinite, then anything we can conceivably observe is infinitesimally minuscule.
That doesn't sounds like a headline that would drive ad traffic though...
Neither does your apostrophe; it has been replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

Pretty sure you can still install KDE via the package manager (though I haven't checked).

Question is not rhetorical, and I'm really on the fence about it:
Is biometrics a dead end for authentication/identification purposes?
Even if it is unequivocally a dead end, is there still merit to seeing how far the rabbit hole goes, for the sake of discovery along the way?
Serious underestimation there, you insensitive clod!. There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
