It's rated for 36 Watt-hours. Even if that's per cell for the four cells in the battery, it'd have to be running in a heck of a low power mode to get the run time they're describing.
I'm not sure I can trust a source which says "it has been stated that it would take 100 programmer hours to fix" then quotes a paragraph stating 100 staff days. Regardless it is harder than it looks: the BBC doesn't want to get into the business of running a time server, nor trying to automatically determine which time zone any particular visitor to the site happens to be in (by, what, IP address tracing?).
The idea that comets might be the source of early prebiotic components is old, but this specific research demonstrating that the high pressures and temperatures involved in impacts is capable of converting the simple, common molecules found on comets into more complex prebiotic structures is new.
If Apple wanted to "force users to buy iPhone 5" they would've stopped selling the older models. It's not like they unleashed some unpredicable iPhone-4-building robot out into the world when they launched the device and have no means of reining it in.
The comparison between diuretics and new antihypertensives is a useful one too: diuretics, as the name suggests, deal with blood pressure by making you urinate out excess fluid. That's rather inconvenient.
That'd depend on whether Blizzard turns over server code and whatever authentication they use (or a version of the game without such authentication) to archivists.
People who would play games on a PC are a tiny minority of the PC market. PC gaming's a niche that will survive, but it's not a niche that will sustain the two-laptops-per-household PC market we currently have.
If that's the case then I've been painfully misled and have badly misled others as to the severity of the issue, although it'll take a more authoritative source than Jobs' bio quote to demonstrate it. Their receiving their preferred cut regardless of the selling price would be a distortion of the market, but a slight one.
This is why we probably won't ever have flying cars; when you give each aircraft its own "safe zone" to accomodate user error and bumpy air, there's not enough space up there for one aircraft per household.
I'd say that the aircraft ingesting the drone would be unlucky, in the sense that it's not the most likely form of collision. The plane would, one hopes, still be landable in that condition; you're meant to avoid bird strikes but most jet airliners should be designed to survive them.
It would be a heck of a lot worse than the plane eating a goose though.
Paging out every single item from VRAM just because you have to draw the desktop is like dragging everything from your sitting room into the hallway because you want to put on your socks in there.
They've realised that the desktop as we know it is dead and are making a desperate effort to retool Windows into a tablet and smart-TV OS, while establishing the Xbox as their new hardware safe haven. They're not doing a great job, but the direction they're heading in is an unfortunate necessity. Customer PCs are on the way out. (Make your own "year of Linux on the desktop" joke, but Microsoft ceding the desktop market to the Unix-derivatives currently used for all Real Work would be great for things like driver support.)
As a Commodore fan I'll note that company's inability to make a manouvre like this was fatal.
99% of the Daily Mail's web content is stuff they found on the internet at lunch time, so I assume "newly released" means "someone just emailed us this with some cat memes".

Your response to multiple, independent sources demonstrating that a machine actually does perform as rated in everyday use is "nuh-uh"?
Chondrite meteorites aren't comets.

You would prefer "scientists now pretty sure water was on Mars, not even going to bother any more"?

And comets only appeared last Tuesday?
Moc-moc-a-moc.

Based on the ad revenue generated per user, a bit more than four dollars per year. Maybe as much as five.
Don't have to spend money maintaining the feature.

Agreed.
I think you're confusing military drones with toy quadrocopters. This one was 40kg and about 2m long, and by modern standards it's tiny.

Please, flatter me with your understanding of what a clause in a contract is.

It's a chimney sweep's broom. The robot mistook the jet liner's engine for a sooty flue and was attempting to rectify it.
