I think if a volcano erupted in Dortmund there'd be a lot more than 20,000 people evacuated. Don't be so rough on the poor thing for happening to be in a thinly-populated area.
I'm curious as to why volcanic soils are so fertile. A quick google suggests that it's just that they happen to be enriched with particular minerals but I'd love to hear some more detail if a slashdotter knows some of the chemistry.
Generci ingredient names are chosen by a scheme that isn't strongly related to the actual chemical name, though. Do some of them carry the systematic name too?
Following the charges works for basic homework problems, but you'll run into a wall when you encounter of the umpteen dozen reactions where solvent effects on the intermediates are more important than the electrostatic directing effects, or one of your reagents decomposes at the reaction temperature into something else entirely. There are idioms. It's like the difference between being able to do a computer translation of a language, and being able to read it fluently. As a consequence building from high school physics only gets you so far.
Having owned both I'd rate the HD3000 below an nVidia 7600GT in practice. It'll really move on older Source stuff but it starts to struggle even on HL2E1 unless you turn off a lot of the shinies. That said, being able to get a playable framerate and reasonably authentic looks out of modern games is a huge leap for laptop performance. I'm really impressed with the new era of laptop components from AMD and Intel alike.
Until 2010 it was a dormant volcano, and that sequence of eruptions resulted in no casulaties; in the odds game that is risk management, was not totally irrational to move back into the area.
There is no evidence that it produces a reliable difference between truth and lying by any mechanism, whether the intimidation effect you propose or otherwise.
When the high-end MP3 player market saturated, they finally released a cheaper iPod, the Mini. When that saturated, they released an even cheaper iPod, the Nano and Shuffle. That's what lies ahead for the iPhone.
In Brazil's case, being Apple's and Sony's manufacturing centre for the entirety of South America in the future doesn't seem like a bad deal for the country.
Look at your finger. The part between the last knuckle and the end is the tip. The distance between those two points is its length, That gives you an order of magnitude estimate of the size of these particles.
Do me a favour, never go into engineering. The art of approximation is dying and the last thing we need is people who can't make even ballpark guesses by themselves.
Ease of use and complexity are orthogonal. iOS is as explicit as a command line and hides nothing from the user, but this doesn't preclude complexity of behaviour in apps. Conversely making the OS more opaque and vague (as in iOS7) doesn't somehow make it any deeper or more meaningful to interact with.
Phones are essentially fungible given that neither iOS nor Android has many exclusive apps: you don't get the content-availability issues that Betamax suffered from. An iPhone and an Android device are more like different brands of VHS recorder than either Apple or Google would care to admit.
Given that smartphone market saturation is about three to five years out, doesn't that imply that they're absolutely right to be maximising their war chest at this point in the cycle and saving low-margin, low-income phones for the time when they'll need to compete for marketshare?
Yes, once they fired Jobs and went into a race for marketshare. Clearly what they were doing before and after the '90s, selling expensive high-end machines to a niche market, was exactly what they needed to do to stay in business.
The Nexus is so much cheaper than the S4 and iPhone 5 because it's sold basically at cost. Don't expect that pricing from companies that are trying to turn a profit on the hardware.

Or to use an Americanism, they're either assholes or morons.

I mean, that's not actually true. Blackberry was not selling "more Blackberries than ever".
Blackberry's share fell because its shipments stalled and fell. Apple's phone shipments continue to rise.
What the heck country do you live in where standard definition TV has 640 horizontal lines?
Given the damage that Minter's ruminants would do to the garden, I can't blame him.
You have no idea who Jeff Minter is, do you?
As someone who bought a Nokia phone in 2008 it'd be good to own a device with an OS that actually exists in two years.

Clearly it's a unicycle.

You're joking, surely. By '93 Amigas were looking shockingly out of date in computing power.
Err, the very article you link to seems to indicate that Apple publishes "sold" figures and not "shipped" figures.
The Nexus is so much cheaper than the S4 and iPhone 5 because it's sold basically at cost. Don't expect that pricing from companies that are trying to turn a profit on the hardware.
