Considering the supposed panic was itself largely a fabrication... (and that we're much more desenticised to thinga in the media; or at least I would hope so)
Russia, at the least, has few decades of experience in operating a manned spacecraft essentially capable of beyond LEO operation - heck, Soyuz was the first vehicle which carried macroscopic Earth creatures beyond LEO (around the Moon, to be more specific; most notably - turtles;p ) and brought them back safely.
They've been toying with the idea for some time now, in low intensity mode. Who knows, they might try something with the heavy versions of Angara rocket and Mir-3, which is supposed to be also, basically, a specedock used for construction.
So I take you think it was a mistake to offer, for almost 3 decades now, color video in cameras with electronic (and typically b&w) viewfinders? Same with many bridge digicams...I guess they should revert to making b&w pictures when using their built-in electronic viewfinder.
That could be consistent with Pixel Qi screen, which is being shown in several devices now; and looks quite greyscale with its backlight off. Not really so greyscale as in the linked video of Asus device / why wouldn't they show the color mode?
You know, for some relative values of now you can see, unfolding before our eyes (ok, "damn sensitive satellites"), events from a time not long after Big Bang. I've heard those are some damn hostile condiditions and will bring, in the end, nothing good for anyone involved...;)
I damn hope it will go off in my lifetime (yes, yes - as in "the light from the event which sort of already happened will get here during..."). It will be quite a sight.
I don't think it's ruined, they do quite fine with math; is "our" math ruined because of 13? (actually, one can wonder what statistical distribution of least significant decimal places could show)
Seems it impacts mostly customs or proper names; non-harmful enough. Probably not worth the effort to change either, if you consider complexities of their writing systems, that the pronunciations are by some chance "merely" very similar ("word, letter, spelling", from what I understand, are not; it would require amending of quite basic general rules, I believe) and that large parts of society might resist it / see it as just a "trick" (and why? Ahh..."there must be something nefarious at work here", etc.) - efforts could just as well strenghten the phobia.
At least when looking at that lineage? (isn't "implemented" better than "invented"?) For example there was also Plankalkül (not the only one, I'm sure); with reality around it not helping any implementation efforts, which came only few decades later.
It seems in fact more sensitive; or at least Nokia itself said so, in press release or smth ("a gesture of politeness")...when explaining some time ago why there won't be S60v4...why the version after S60v3 is (for almost 2 years already) S60v5.
And MeeGo / Maemo likely won't supersede Symbian; just like the latter doesn't mean end for S40 (and S40 - for S30)
Even then the market will be far from saturated, especially considering that Apple targets only premium people living in premium places.
Did you know that, for a few years, you can easily find, say, a manufacturer which sells more media players than the total number of iPods produced up to that point? Not so visible in favorite markets of analysts/etc., but...
So are hotels without 13, MS Office 12 -> 14, or "lucky 7"...
Actually, those are much more dumb - 13 or 7 doesn't really mean anything. 4, in the case of East Asian tetraphobia, by some linguistic chance means quite literally "death".
Simulations of chemical processes? Estimations of future harvests and researching chemicals used for agriculture? I can't know if that's it, but there you go - some examples where it might be worthwile.
They did invent quite a bit more things, and many which most likely contributed to progress later on in other areas...
But IP protection wasn't really strictly about Chinese situation (though, if they would have any back then, it would be...ignored). The were IP treaties in XVIII and XIX century after all...ingored by some states, weren't they? Ignoring them wasn't illegal as far US law was concerned, BTW.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, that's what we get for everybody pretending now and then that they're a 13-year-old girl.
AMOLED = "the latter case" (obviously referring to parent post), as far your EN is concerned? Interesting...
Well, at least the thing to which I linked to is actually used, apparently; in embedded applications.
Nvm "dreaming", we were talking about location services there...

That's what they plan to do, last time I read about their project...
Not everything is a NASA mission, too...
Restraint is an option anytime, anywhere...
But it seems it doesn't just "happen", people snapping suddenly.

Now they seem to be determining how to combat the effects in a bit more isolated place.
Might be not merely anticipating risk, but acting on experience - last time somebody mixed sexes, it didn't end up good.
At minimum, humans in orbit around Mars would be handy for teleoperating small fleet of surface robots.

They need each other for daily contribution to their confirmation bias. Now they are a group of the wise...

%chosendeity gave us the first one.
BTW, now is the time you should really start to wonder what builds those very high cranes used to build skyscrapers ;p

iPhone DeathG, anyone?

If anybody wants to really push "4G" product (using it as its defining quality), he's for a surprise...

Probably why that'll be 3G -> LTE actually; certainly why there's no S60v4 or 4xxx-series devices from Nokia.
