My job partly involves putting out different varieties of ice creams for sale. Since they all cost the same, only the total is needed. The others count them all individually, but I find it much easier to put out, multiples of x of each variety, then multiply at the end. I prefer to count as well, though, because sometimes I can have thought I put 6 choc-ices on (or whatever) but not noticed one hidden under a tub of vanilla...
At our sixth form, several of us took up further maths in our second year, aiming to accomplish half the course, and therefore an AS level. Our maths teacher variously came in at 8:30, worked near-full days with about 20 minutes for lunch and stayed until 5 in order to help us get through this stuff.
Much as I like mathematics, I have never been aware that knowing how to find the area between r = sin theta cos theta, the initial line and the half-line r = pi/2 has ever made me a more rounded individual or better person.
I have almost the opposite problem. I prefer wine to beer, although I'm a connoisseur of neither. At least in the UK, if you want a drink down the pub, a glass of wine gets you laughed out of the door. If you want to be accepted then you can't appear sophisticated - you have to pretend you like beer.
So unfunctional, in fact, that you can't find the light switch? Even my mother, who doesn't so much wake up as become moderately ambulatory when she has just woken up, isn't so non-functional as to be incapable of switching on the light.
I think just because someone doesn't mind sharing their data with google doesn't mean they don't mind sharing it with any Tom, Dick or Harry who happens to come along with a bit of tech.
You've both implied that people should use the secure server on their own, and that doing so would cause Google's server to break. If Google's secure server doesn't have the capacity to handle a significant proportion of the user base, then that is in effect a wish for people not to use the service securely. Regardless of people not needing their hands held, Google apparently doesn't want to implement secure practices.
And furthermore, if you use google via a customised google page (http://www.google.com/ig) then even if you redirect that to https://.../ then the link to GMail is still regular http.
At low speeds and stop/start conditions, the electric engine's extra efficiency will mean it can do more miles/charge, effectively increasing the range. Just the same as if you drove everywhere in first, you'd have to refuel more often than if you used the transmission. (Aside from the former requiring you to replace the engine and transmission every two weeks, of course)
The point being that the cars won't be of equal weight and, possibly more importantly, the deceleration for a person in a very flimsy car (or in a very rigid, but light car) will occur over a very short period of time, and they will experience a consequently higher force and therefore damage. If two tanks are heading toward each other at 30mph, one made of tank, the other made of, lets say, paper, the paper would crumple immediately, and the driver would simply fly out and hit the next tank, resulting in a total change in velocity of 60mph, very quickly. The other tank would gradually slow down since it acquired some extra weight.
From the point of view of a piece of music it is. Splashes of paint falling on a piece of paper aren't random but you could use them as a source for a random number generator easily.
Is that inherently, or have you actually examined every world government to determine this? I suspect it's merely a hasty generalisation.
The upside is this. Patenting DNA based music has to do with that lovely 95 to 96% of the unknown DNA, that scientists, like those "world is flat" guys before them, are calling "junk DNA". I.E. "we don't know or won't tell you what it does yet, so we're going to call it junk, and you'll believe us, because we're *experts*".
Its information storage... and there are those who know how to read it, they won't tell you or me they can, but there's enough in there to make someone very wealthy if they exploit it without allowing "competition". Patents on "information" are as idiotic as they were when they came about.
Due to this not being funny, I'm going to assume it's serious. Point being that so-called "junk" DNA firstly isn't transcribed into proteins, and secondly isn't conserved at all. It's known to serve a function (buffering the rest of the DNA from mutation) but only due to its bulk, not what's contained in it. As for information storage, one has to wonder what anyone would want to write down on a medium that is less reliable than most other modern methods, including paper.
When you replace "we" with, "people in charge of the law and, by extension, the money-makers who control them" your post stops being wryly humourous and starts being.. the truth, pretty much.
In the UK, the article is listed as being posted at 5:01 PM. I guess the love to sysadmins doesn't extend to actually showing it - you have to internally acknowledge it, after you get home - in the UK, anyway.
It's similar to predicting the wheather: If you want to be right as often as possible, always predict "no rain" and you'll beat any real model.
I'm guessing you don't live in the UK? Although I understand your point, I don't think the analogy's very good even in non-rainy countries since, if there's a front coming in "no rain" might be a bad prediction.
"And this WILL blind people. If used from too far away, it won't be efficient so they'll make it more powerful, then used from close range it will make permanent injuries to the eyes."
From TFA:
The LED Incapacitator uses a range-finder to measure the distance to a target's eyes and then unleashes
My guess is part of that distance info would be used to determine the strength required.
Since the exploit allows arbitrary code execution, it should be pretty simple to, say, write a script to be executed by cmd.exe, which downloads malware and runs it.
But text messaging usually gets to its destination within a few minutes and announces its presence. For much of the population, it will also be read within minutes, making it much more useful for certain situations than email. A beeping noise also ensures it tends to get to those who might not check email very often.

There's a key point you appear to be missing: it works, in a novel... a humorous novel!

Well, if they're armed, surely they have hands? What use are arms without hands!
Because if they don't they'd be killed at the hands of armed robots?
At our old fashioned cinema it's £3.50 downstairs and £4 upstairs. You can turn up 5 minutes before the film starts, too!
You're looking for DID, down the hall.

Never mind RTFM, why didn't you RTFSummary? It specifically mentions border control and folk who don't speak English!
