That's actually a valid point: the osmotic pressure is not something that will exist in a closed system. It's created by the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, and thus regenerates itself. It's solar-by-proxy, like almost everything else.
Actually plenty of "feature phones" multi-task on third-party Java apps too, these days. I think Nokia's the only one that's left behind on that, but they're moving S60 into their feature-phone market anyway.
I don't think that any leader really needs to read a book to learn to "establish, consolidate, defend, and extend power". The fact that they attain leadership means that they've been selected for having those abilities.
"Almost certainly" doesn't really cut it. Even so, the best case scenario here is that only insurers, the police, politicians, stalkers, Joe Public, your doctor, your friends, and your family have gained information as a result of this leak. You're quantitatively, albeit perhaps not qualitatively, worse off, and for what gain? Historical data-mining?
I'd question the ethics of it. The very existence of this database is of huge political and social importance, thus falling under Wikileaks' remit, but by putting it into the public domain they're infringing the privacy of the citizens involved even further. You can bet all the TLAs, not to mention police forces, lawyers, insurance companies, and so on are having fun with it now it's in public view.
It strikes me that the real trick isn't putting a display on the lens of the eye, but getting a focussed image. I mean, you could write a crisp, clear letter on someone's eyeball right now, but they wouldn't be able to see it. It'd just be a smudge on their vision. That still leaves you open to using a flash of colour in different directions to attract the wearer's attention to hazards, or other blurry ways of presenting information, mind you. I think the real key will be putting MEMS-directed lasers in there which can draw on the retina, bypassing focussing entirely.
The people we are fighting are Middle-East Muslims.
So? Up until then almost all the US's domestic terrorists were white US-born males. I didn't see them getting rounded up and given extra screening at the airport while everyone else was waved through.
Speaking of Edinburgh, if you hear a loud bang at 1pm, start running. Keep running. Never stop. That's the official signal that dragons have, in fact, been seen approaching the city, starving for human flesh.
As well as changing power cords (or just buying travel adaptors) you should ensure your devices are actually world-voltage, 110-240v 50-60Hz. Also figure out what you're doing with your phone. If you're roaming, ensure the carrier's enabled it, and if you're planning on picking up a cheap SIM while you're here, make sure your phone is unlocked. In either case make sure that your phone supports (at a minimum) tri-band GSM. Wi-fi is universal, but expect to pay through the nose for it unless you're buying a large amount of capacity or your hotel/hostel provides it. Internet cafes are (fairly) cheap and plentiful but aren't a great option if you want to have your camera sitting there uploading umpteen snaps to Flickr.
With that settled, go to the Natural History Museum. Pick where you want to go, though, that thing will eat your entire weekend if you let it. And if you want to see real England, and not just London (even compared to the other cities, it's rather singular), get out of the city on the train for a few days. Canterbury is gorgeous, but that's just my preference. Heck, get your ass on the Pendolino and go up to Yorkshire, or Scotland. The Caledonian Sleeper will take you right up into the wilderness overnight.
UMTS doesn't have such a thing as a "region code", anyway: either you've got the hardware to talk on rest-of-the-world radio frequencies, or you don't. Wi-fi is the same everywhere.
That's perfectly reasonable, but it's not really what you posted in the first instance (that we can assume from human behavior that they are hostile, which involves a lot of assumptions).
IBM's "IBM PC" created the modern x86 system. That it happened to be an Intel CPU is a historical accident. Admittedly boycotting the IBM box now is more of a symbolic gesture than a pragmatic one.

If it works they'll have to construct additional pylons.

No, it's the real 1980s' vision of the future, only instead of OCP, it's the media industry that's gone on a power-mad rampage.

Come to think of it, if the image starts to drift, your eye might try to focus in response, which could really screw with your vision.

Given the subject, surely the submitter can see why it's worth clarifying whether they're using the decimal or comma convention in the summary itself!

Probably not: I imagine that the retina scan counts on the retina being a certain distance away.

What an insightful Slashdot comment, attached to this accurate summary of an original, well-written online tech story.
They patent your DNA? "Method for the creation of John Smith by non-DNA cell contents"?
From your sig, I'm guessing you stole that account then.

"three-quarters of young black males, aged 18 to 35, are now on the database"
I had the opposite problem, I assumed that this was his itinerary.

Well played.

Well, I patented swallowing and digestion, so good luck getting people to chew stuff and spit it right back out. lol.
