This is indefensible behavior. Apple are being assholes.
Quite the contrary. The Customer is in the wrong, since she did not stipulate to be buried clutching her iPad but instead to pass it on to other beings.
She can't be of the One True Apple Faith, thus she's a heretic.
mitochondrial + nuclear DNA would make an actual mammoth
No biologist here either but I believe it's technically correct, but still useless. If elephants are anything to go by, which are social creatures, a mammoth calf would have to learn a lot about its habitat from its parents, geography, what to eat, what not to eat, etc. It can't learn that from an African elephant. A zoo animal is all you would get.
I went around on a Velosolex some time in the late eighties, some people thought they were cool and retro then, and you could by them new.
Horribly dangerous to ride on anything but a straight line or VERY SLOWLY.
Weight distribution all wrong
Front wheel drive unforgiving
Front tyre adapted for roller but not good on the road
This was a petrol engine but I can't imagine that electrics now win out on power/weight either, at least not with a useful range.
she's 16 and uses whatsapp all the time because it's cheaper than SMS. I guess they get their demographics by analysing word frequency histograms, age being inversely proportioal to LPS ("like" per sentence)
if you love numbers you do a quick calculation : 4*10^9W for $4.4*10^9: that's 1.1 US$/Watt, and once you google about a bit for "dollars per watt powerplant" or something, you find it's a pretty competitive price.
I consulted Wikipedia about bone names: in a cat (and many outer quadrupeds) the tarsal joint forms what is the "knee" in our legs, and the metatarsals are the lowest segment of the leg. The joint happens to point backwards, and consequently it looks "right" to us, and a robot with its knees pointing forward looks "creepy".
The Boson Dynamics people obviously found that it's somehow beneficial to have that joint pointing forward rather than backward, and they have the freedom to engineer it that way. Nature doesn't have that freedom: Evolution frequently "chooses" second-best solutions where the "design penalty" is small, because evolution always works in infinitesimal steps, there is no chance of atop-to bottom rewrite, the process doesn't cater for that.
If He were a little more expensive, a helium recovery system would be economical. Those machines are feasible in most scientific institutions in Europe, University physics and chemistry departments typically share a mains of helium reflow pipes, leading to a huge rubber bladder, and when that's full (once a day or whatever) they spin up the compressors and liquify the stuff again.
This is America...our healthcare system the envy of the developed world.
I'm not envious, I live in the UK and our healthcare system works fine, thank you very much - and it's much cheaper per person.
The government is hard at work wrecking it at the moment but, the NHS being the biggest organisation in the country, a wrecking job like that takes time and it's still going strong.
What is this kWh you speak of? Surely you good honest-to-god Texans measure energy in foot-pounds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feet-pound-force) rather than in the "SI" blasphemy units?
Oh man i'd love this: I'm not even allowed to drive as i'm an epileptic and my partner would love it too, she can and does drive but if she didn't have to she'd be glad to be driven around by the car.
But the real challenge is to find a manufacturer who's willing to dodge the sueball coming at them if one of those things goes wrong, even if it is (and it will have to be, and will be) 10 times safer than any human driver.
Legal problems are going to snuff out this baby at birth.
ASML aren't a "light source maker", they don't "make" anything actually. They research and develop technologies, integrate stuff from different suppliers, and have contractors bolt it together. And then they sell it and train people to use it.
And they're good at it so pretty much every chip maker buys their kit.
Gnome 3.8 comes with "Classic mode" which re-introduces features like the top-left App menu and the window switcher panel at the bottom of the screen, but built on Gnome3 technology.
It's a bit like Windows 8.1 re-introducing the Start menu.
Maybe one day we'll wake up and the Gnome shell and Windows 8 were all a bad dream.
wow, if they were real sophisticated their fake cell site would connect to a fake copy of Amazon, where every price check goes in favour of the store you're in!
maybe, but then again I switched to Thunderbird from Evolution, and performance and connectivity improved by orders of magnitude. Performance is always relative...
Now here's an idea for an even cooler application: A web service which allows customers to upload any edited audio recording and I can apply a subtle hum with a user-selected timestamp so it authenticates as "not edited original recording" with the Met Police's database!
I shall start recording the mains hum shortly.
Criminals rejoice! Huahahahahaha!
They claim to have technology to go from heavier than air to lighter than air and back, to my mind that involves having some kind of compressor on board that can suck Helium out ouf a buoyancy bag and into a pressurized gas bottle.
This is an obvious solution, the Zeppelin engineers of old would have done it but there was no way they could make it light enough. They must have some sort of advanced materials or composites that make this possible (if they're not lying fraudsters like other companies that have cashed in on selling shares then not delivering, Cargolifter anyone?). The absence of any detail on this on their website is suspicious. Where's the "How does it work" tab?
simple. your colleague user her email address to sign up, which the other cancer survivor hat previously entered into facebook search to figure whether she is on facebook. facebook remembered the search even though it didn't return any matches at the time, but made good use of it by suggesting a probable friend candidate. creepy: yes

Verbing weirds language. Seriously, constructs like this stop my reading flow. Please don't.

could anyone in the know enlighten us how the uplink is supposed to work? TFA doesn't clarify.

Take that, "Intelligent Design" believers.

I need a camera with \[ 4\pi\mbox{steradian} \] solid angle viewing
Among the alternatives you list, one stands out as merely "unpopular" rather than having sound reasons against it.

Coming from the UK: maybe they should play without helmets. Helmets are banned in the sport of Rugby because they cause the players to play too rough.
My bank stores my password in plain text. It's clearly not even hashed as they only need (eg) the third and fifth characters to give me access.
no they do encrypt it but they encrypt each letter seperately!
As a fellow beekeeper, i'd go further and say this is utter BS. Like most of the "inhabitat" stuff, actually.
