No. Its just a criminal who takes peoples property, sometimes by force. And who will become emboldened if they realize that the cops won't do sqaut to stop them. Screw the phone. Its insured. Get the punks who think they can knock people down and grab their phones.
It certainly makes sense for them to be the same field,
Huh? Search is the box in the middle of the page I get when I go to http://www.google.com/. The location field is what I type or paste an explicit URL into. If my location field starts second-guessing what I'm typing like the Google search field does, I'm getting a new browser.
Hacking Google and directing them to alternate sites based on autocomplete is at least a nuisance and possibly a security risk if people don't pay attention.
They have. Al Gore Inc. bought up a bunch of third world logging rights to "save the rain forrests". And he got in early and cheap. The trick is for him to flip these investments and take the cash. So "demand" has to be created for the assets. Carbon credits in this case. And to make sure that someone doesn't do something stupid like invest in an acre of Georgia forrest instead, the market has to be carefully manipulated to keep the price of a pound of carbon sequestered in the Amazon higher than a pound of carbon sequestered domestically. Or Al won't be able to unload his investments.
I think there may very well be something to AGW. But if it isn't bad enough to value every sequestered pound of carbon the same, it is just a marketing scam. Call be back when it becomes important.
Nuclear disarmament doesn't affect our daily lives directly. Is something that the public understands is the duty of the government and experts to handle. On the other hand, the warminists are proposing solutions that will affect the public directly. And many people suspect that a lot of the crises ae being manufactured specifically to mandate some social agendas rather than presenting the public with a choice. And rightfully, a large portion of the public is calling "bullshit" on those games.
Its not a hobby vs comercial issue. Although legally, all private drones are by definition hobby (in this country). Its an issue of unsafe operation and the loss of control of the aircraft. Fine his ass.
It appears that the FAA might be taking a "no harm, no foul" approach to some drone operations. The person who filmed the tornado destruction technically might be in violation of the no commercial use regulation. But not having caused any trouble or run into anything or anyone, they don't appear to be doing much about that incident. Had that drone goen in the way of other aircraft (rescue ops, for example), they could have added that charge to the list. This seems like a reasonable approach as well.
That's my point. You can certainly train a robot to break a handle off in a repeatable manner. But something like telepresence (used for 'robotic' surgery) would be needed to improvise such a move on the fly. That works OK on the ground, with millisecond communications latency but perhaps not so well to geosynchronous orbits.
Remember the mission to repair Hubble? Where the hand rail bolts got stuck and they had to break it off? Good luck getting a robot to figure that out.
I can see robotic refueling working if the satellite is designed for it. Like aerial refueling with a purpose-built port and valves. Not if the robot needs to be a shade-tree mechanic.
That $600 smart phone? It really didn't cost the carrier $600. I'd be surprised if it cost half that wholesale. So this is a great opportunity for the service provider to keep the customer confused. The phone is cheap. The service is cheap. But try to figure out what you should be paying for each as a reasonable rate.
that scam should only work on a particular customer for... two years, and then they would be wiser the second time around.
It does. For the HF Traders. At everyone else's expense.
Its the goose principle: The art of HFT consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least possible amount of hissing.
If companies opt for a low cost solution (non-colo, 100 mb line or lower) then it is truly their choice.
Here's a thought experiment: Everyone except the HFT firms takes their business to another exchange where high frequenct trading is not allowed. This would leave the high frequency traders on their own network to trade among themselves. Would this be a viable situation fo them?
I didn't think so. HFT is only viable if 'slower' traders exist to be exploited.
Just call the CEO (as a parent from some morals protection group) and ask why they are still promoting that "porn player app". It'll get ported to something else on their IT department's double emergency overtime program.
I don't have Flash on my latest Linux laptop (Debian distro). And YouTube seems to work fine*. I suspect that they are already falling back to HTML5. The only people that seem to be hanging onto Flash are porn sites who want to do some digging around on your system in the background while you are fapping.
*The occasional annoying "you need a plugin..." message but then the video just plays.
That is one technology that can reveal the existence of nuclear materials (as in nuclear warheads and submarines, like the summary says). But if someone actually has this technology working this well and at that range, my guess is that it would be classified beyond all belief and wholly controlled by various defense departments. The impact that leaking tracking capabilities of this sort to various operators of nuclear submarines would be a strategic game changer.
If this sort of thing does exist, I'd expect a defense department to manufacture an alternate story for how the wreckage was located.

You kidding? Departments have had to put 'no pursuit' policies in place to keep the hothead cops from killing bystanders while chasing stolen wrecks.
No. Its just a criminal who takes peoples property, sometimes by force. And who will become emboldened if they realize that the cops won't do sqaut to stop them. Screw the phone. Its insured. Get the punks who think they can knock people down and grab their phones.
Donuts. Tell them the perps stole your donuts.
Than you really won't like it that explorer -- you know, what you normally use to browse your local filesystem
That would be 'ls' in a terminal window.

Oh! My sides hurt.
We already have a workaround for smaller screens.
"Shoot straight you bastards! Don't make a mess of it."
Snu snu.
If HFT doesn't yield an advantage
It does. For the HF Traders. At everyone else's expense.

We are the goose.

Sounds like a fishing story to me.
large commercial applications still on flash.
Porn.

Yours might not. My bank doesn't use flash.
"These are not the spectral signatures you are looking for."
YouTube finally jumps the shark. I have to watch an advertisement before I can watch the cheese advertisement.
Could be something like neutron activation analysis. But from space? And through that much sea water?
That is one technology that can reveal the existence of nuclear materials (as in nuclear warheads and submarines, like the summary says). But if someone actually has this technology working this well and at that range, my guess is that it would be classified beyond all belief and wholly controlled by various defense departments.
