What it does. This is not easy to explain to women and the mechanically innocent....
More from the article:
Under the hood there's a shiny hunk of mechanism, smaller than a breadbox, that houses a reversible electric motor, a flyball governor, and associated electrical gadgetry. A flexible shaft resembling a speedometer cable feeds in car-speed information; a rod leading to the carburetor linkage executes commands to the throttle.
The oppressive regime of Antarctica has long been opressing its constituents.
The world celebrates the ice shelf's newly found freedom, and hopes this will pave the way to democracy in the entire region. When asked about what the ice shelf plans to do with its newly found freedom, it humbly replied "just going to drift a few kms that way, hopefully leading the way for many others to follow."
When asked for comment, the visibly agitated Penguin Brotherhood declined to comment beyond blaming the west-sponsored Carbon Revolution.
VW/Audi group has opened up its software to third parties... It is THE MOST OPEN car platform you can scan, hack, and play with, bar none. That's why guys like Ross-Tech sell their VAG-COM / VCDS software and ANY COMPETENT mechanic who knows what he's doing will use that software instead of cheap generic OBD-II scanners.
You also need to educate yourself before doing any repairs on the car, that's part of the process.
Disclaimer: I'm a successful DIY-er on my Audi, and I use aftermarket VCDS software to access and program all computer modules of my car.
A driver carries a pass, a credit card sized remote (or a keyless fob). As the driver approaches the vehicle, the vehicle scans the remote and is ready to unlock if you touch the handle. The door handle also has a sensor where your thumb goes. As soon as you touch it, and if the vehicle registers the keyless remote, the door is opened.
Such cars (usually) have push-button start systems that also work based on the proximity of the keyless remote.
It is very convenient if your hands are full and you want to open the rear door, for example, without having to search your pocket and fumble with buttons.
Approach the car, open the handle, press the button - drive. No need to even touch the key/remote, which sits in your wallet or pocket.
But then you'd actually have to pay them like developers.
Many testers are. Correction - many good testers are.
Do you really want to graduate from college, after paying all that money, and have your primary skill set be "to develop system diagrams, build complex SQL, run log analysis, set up a cloud test environment, and write automation scripts?" That sounds like a couple semesters at DeVry.
Agreed. Computer Science is what you learn in university, programming and use of products (such as SQL) is self-learned. If you can't self-learn, you go to Devry.
Although human beings think nothing of speaking in 'natural' language, a machine must not only learn all the grammatical building-blocks we take for granted—it needs to compensate for the quirks and errors that inevitably pop up in the course of speech.
We, humans, had to "learn" to speak, and the process began at a very young age - at birth (or some say even before that). We only take it for granted because we managed to learn and excel at languages.
We also need to compensate for the quirks and errors that inevitably pop up. Hang around Slashdot, and you'll read story summaries that will test this ability to the limits.
The difference is that we do self-learn, and machines do not (at this point).
It was a way to get people to agree to more cameras... Right?
In any case, how will more CCTV cameras prevent bombings? The Tsarnaev brothers set off their bombs amidst one of the heaviest police/security presence, who were incidentally running a drill.
Neither surveillance cameras nor police presence will prevent terrorist bombinbs. They could potentially make it easier to catch the perpetrators AFTER a terrorist act has been committed.
The civilized world has been progressively removed from reality and will be too busy chatting on Facebook, worried about latest stock market fluctuations, and getting semi-affordable gas at the pump.
Typical response: "NK free? Yay! What movie u goin 2 see?"
it shows that it's about the glitz and the bling. the blackberry 9900 is a fantastic business device. don't worry, i'm not a shill, and i don't have one. my main phone right now is an iPhone 4, and my secondary phone to play with is an older Android running gingerbread 2.3
the new BB10 OS will be quite a game changer in my opinion, as will be RIM's two devices - a touchscreen device and a keyboard device. i can't wait for their release. they have a lot of things to overcome, but what they will offer (dual zones personal and business on the same device) is unmatched (for now).
the only bias that i have? i'm canadian, i would like to see RIM succeed (no they don't need to be #1 or even #2 in device sales), and i had the original Bold for 3 years. disregarding that, i seriously think, from the reading i've done so far, that the next devices are very promising
I have dual boot Ubuntu and XP. Ubuntu is taking the spot as my main OS more and more lately, and XP is there just for legacy apps.
My wife likes Linux, though has XP on her dying laptop.
We were considering going OS X and MacBook, but Apple's stringent control is to the liking of neither of us (and she's the opposite of a techie). And the rumour of moving to ARM?
Thus, when her laptop dies, she'll get a new one with either Ubuntu or Mint, and our move to the next, new, modern operating system will bypass the Windows "ecosystem" altogether.
P.S. Oh yeah, both our iPhones will be replaced by Android...
manufacturers. both neglect their users. what google is doing is providing an open device where the user is in control and no longer bound by limitations of carriers and manufacturers.
Why does it surprise anyone that fish dwelling near the reactor are still radiactive 19 months later? 19 months after what? after the leak began, and has been only slightly reduced? the leak didn't stop, and it's still ongoing.
the mainstream media stopped dwelling on this, all the while people in North America consume products with high radiation.
And yet the punishment for killing a fetus was death. Eye for an eye, etc... thus the life of a fetus was equivalent to the one who took it (whether premeditatively or by accident), and thus he/she were to be put to death.
Actually, many tools install HID Xenon bulbs with additional hardware to supply the needed voltage, in their non-projected lenses, thus blinding everybody else.

If you're coding for the iPhone, you deal with iPhone 5 screen resolution and iPhone 4/4S. That's 2 screen resolutions.
;)
Try coding for Android, while having fun doing it

It's only a matter of time before someone tries to assasinate this treasonous monster.
Why? He does the work of all the special interest groups. He would be in danger of being assassinated only if he didn't.

that is all.

I think nasa shouldn't bother to comment on ideas pertaining to religion.
then they won't smash against it? They'll just pass right through, because the rig is, umm, invisible?
They should apply it to cloaking cars. Then there'll be no accidents. Very practical.
and wanted the flashy new iPhone or GIII

granted they also dump stuff off the coast of italy.

Improperly aimed, they're a hazard to everybody, but not any more than a driver with high beams on halogen bulbs.

When the header no longer means that the user has actively asked not to be tracked, then we cannot expect websites to treat it as such.
When did the user give explicit permission to be tracked in the first place?
