It doesn't say that the poverty line is much higher today than in 1960, so implying that people are worse off is nonsense.
It's somewhat indexed to inflation via CPI to the 1965 rate ($3,223), so practically it should be the same/similar level even if larger with inflation.
Of course as private enterprise they're free to do as they desire, but that's deviating from the point; the argument was it wasn't feasible to do so because it wasn't/isn't profitable.
Apple should simply freely admit what you stated rather than cling to false arguments.
Actually if you look at the statistics it looks like the cost of producing an iphone in China is dwarfed by all other costs -- so moving production elsewhere just be subtracting from an already lucrative profit and naught else.
They didn't. At first it was a truncated version.
Only some time after was the full video released, after complaints as to how there were sections missing.
I find it odd that you assume Assange's lawyers are making things up. Between wikileaks and government, the government has a longer track record of lying to get what they want.
That's only because wikileaks has only been around for a few years.
They've already been caught doing "selective editing" with that bombing video posted some months back.
My sincerest wishes to those unemployed, but 6 percent considered soaring?
Sure, it's not great but it's perhaps not as terrible a crisis as newspapers would like to make out; considering how every section of the economy is impacted right now I would read too much into it.
It's pretty cool at those depths so simply pumping air around can save in air conditioning utility bills. On the other hand, dealing with human waste often needs additional equipment though not expensive.
Mostly because there is very little generation of heat underground so the air takes roughly the same temperature as the surrounding rock.
Unfortunately when you're dealing with dozens of servers that's going to generate a _great_ deal more heat than can be dissipated, so unless you have A/C or great ventilation you'll be enclosed within a crematorium.
Note, this isn't the only thing that came up. The AP mentions several more:
- allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.
- allow people to break technical protections on video games to investigate or correct security flaws.
- allow college professors, film students and documentary filmmakers to break copy-protection measures on DVDs so they can embed clips for educational purposes, criticism, commentary and noncommercial videos.
- allow computer owners to bypass the need for external security devices called dongles if the dongle no longer works and cannot be replaced.
All of which sound like pretty much what I've heard people complaining about for years now. Good to see the valid exemptions to the law are finally being updated to be somewhat logical.
NO. Jesus, walk a little bit people. If you've got to get somewhere faster, ride a bike, take a cab, take the train, drive your car.
Putting moving sidewalks everywhere is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Forget the exercise argument: imagine the fricking maintenance costs!
I've used the walkway described in the article at Monparnasse station and it works wonderfully. Putting it in high-volume areas like subway and train stations and other places of mass transit is a great idea, where a few minutes saved off each person's commute would relieve congestion.
You'd probably have little doubt that the site is genuine, if you simply examined it further. It really is rather pathetic -- they're looking for people to only purchase this slapped together crap for nostalgia's sake.
No news story here folks, just another company trying to peddle something no one will buy.
is there some written law that holds people to following robots.txt? if not, how is it even possible to call it a weakness?
Nope:
There is no law stating that/robots.txt must be obeyed, nor does it constitute a binding contract between site owner and user, but having a/robots.txt can be relevant in legal cases. (from here
Though I understand where you're coming from -- how wonderfully impractical. Be glad you don't have a profession that requires you to do regular overseas business travel, otherwise you'd be in a bit of a jam.
This seems to be a looping problem. All the government can think about is the last attempt, only backwards. There has been lots of dedication into flights after 9/11, while leaving all the other security problems open.
Though I certainly agree there has been a heavy concentration to airline security, it's somewhat justified. In the years after 9/11 Al-Qaeda has targeted and continues to target commercial aviation precisely because of the potential large-scale impact of the catastrophes (and that they're not all that difficult to pull off, all things considered). Probably a dumb move on their part that they aren't looking further afield for effective targets, but these people are blind ideologues.

Wanting a few more options than a "vanilla" discount motherboard is hardly 'hyperoptimization'
From my varied experience of assembling machines, the motherboard has always been the most important choice around which everything else is based.
Yeah, please! It sounds like an informative read

Comic Sans?

Not certain where they get those statistics, but even if they were that high, adding such a cost would still retain the iPhone's profitability.

This seems like a classic case for the geometric or harmonic means that would net you ~1 or ~2
Easier said than done!
How exactly does this differ from the studies and analysis done on ALH84001 some ten or so years ago?
They didn't. At first it was a truncated version. Only some time after was the full video released, after complaints as to how there were sections missing.

Sidewalks, though? Just asking for trouble.

Hate to be a pedant but it's only infinite as x->0+, otherwise it's undefined, as x->0- is negative infinity.
