I have discovered a truly marvellous proof that it is impossible to separate a cube-UID into two cube-UIDs, or a fourth-UID into two fourth-UIDs, or in general, any UID power higher than the fourth UID into two like powers. This margin is too narrow to contain it.
This non-story made TV news services this morning in Australia. It ranked second or third story in the bulletin, even ahead of the football grand finals stories. At least the last bulletin I saw was a little tongue-in-cheek as it reported, "In other news, Australia's workplace output showed the highest one-day improvement in history."
Birth certificates are issued at the time/location of birth and registered at the state/territory level in Australia. They carry no succinct, unique identifier information suitable for use in foreign systems. As I suspect is the case in the US, getting states to do things in a consistent way is nigh on impossible. I can only imagine what a PITA dealing with umpteen hundreds of counties would be like.

Or the killer is me:) My Imperials were so devoid of anything resembling a tread that for the first couple of weeks just walking down the street was dangerous. The best you would get would be a line of stitch marks and, in really deep mud, a shallow Florsheim logo. They have a tread now, but you won't find it in Florsheim's catalogue.

There is the odd charter flight that flies above the Antarctic continent for site seeing purposes, and they would still be carrying the good old-fashioned FDR/CVR (and staying above the altitude and well clear of Mt Erebus).
Is trading with the DPRK legal in the United States? If Facebook/Twitter/etc. knowingly continued to provide a service the DPRK regime would they be in violation of US law?
He was actually a German-born Swiss patent clerk. Einstein renounced his German (Württemberg) citizenship in 1896 (avoiding military service) and took up Swiss citizenship in 1901 (and was stateless in between). Swiss citizenship was a requirement of employment in the Swiss patent office, which he started 1902. In order to take up a post in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, he took up citizenship there (circa 1911). So, at least for some of his life he was "Austrian", although not in the modern sense of Austria and never while working at the Swiss patent office. He later resumed German citizenship (without ceding the Swiss) in order to take up a post in Berlin.
No. If you fill out all boxes above the line you have voted incorrectly and the ballot will possibly not be counted depending on how badly you failed to follow simple instructions, the mood of scrutineers, the closeness of the ballot etc. In the best case the ballot will be treated as if only the "1" was present.
Voting - The Senate
But I wonder what the deal is with Oracle being so over-eager to plaster their company name all over the place.
It means that the marketing/branding people in the company carry more clout than anyone with actual product knowledge. This is certainly not unique to Oracle, with most large publicly-traded companies worrying more about their "brand" than the product.
In my city (in Australia) a red light camera will trigger if the stop line is crossed after the red signal, takes two photographs in succession, and both photographs show the traffic light assembly. To get through adjudication to the issue of an infringement the car must be moving, i.e. the two photos show it was still moving, the plate must be clearly readable (they are very picky about this), and the lights must be showing red.
Presumption of innocence is preserved. The infringement notice is issued to the registered owner who may then nominate the driver if it was not them. If the owner, or the actual driver, pays the fine that is the end of the matter. It costs nothing to allow the matter to go to court where a magistrate will decide based on whatever evidence is available (the photo, stolen vehicle report, any alibi you have etc). The traffic camera people may be asked if they can identify the driver's face although this is normally not possible. To temper abuse of this system a magistrate can issue a penalty worse than the speeding fine, or acquit you. You get to choose your poison.
Risking jail time for a 'trade secret' (which seems to carry more weight than national secrets that might be protecting lives) seems to somewhat pointless. Why not just wait until GM implements whatever super-secret-mega-tech in a vehicle and then reverse engineer it? Once GM 'publish' it in this form without patent protection it seems to me it is fair game.
Removing the external protrusion probably substantially reduced the number of phones broken by having the (often permanently attached) antenna snapped off or electrically disconnected thereby bricking the phone. This change is not about a nebulous style issue, it is about product durability.
If one party of the disputes paid $16M we can safely assume the other side has spent a fair amount. We can also safely assume that the US legal system, that is the US taxpayer, has spent a significant amount dealing with this: court time, judges, legal assistance, administrative support, jurors etc. This is court time and money not spent dealing with other matters, some of which you might consider of far more value.
Hopefully with the recent reductions in damages awards the financial incentive to chase the rats-n-mice of copyright infringement will go away and the public costs will follow.
"Six thousand owners of Apple's tablet", all early purchasers, will probably include a good slab of developers scrambling to develop for the next fad. These people will have an opinion on the app store approval process. Of those that are not developers some will have phoned the suppliers of their favourite application asking when the iPad version would be out to be told, "It is subject to the whim of Apple as to whether or when the app will be approved.", or "Paying the 30% Apple tax makes an iPad version not commercially viable for us." They might then develop an opinion about the app store policies.
If you were going to pick a flaw in the survey technique you'd look at self-selection biases in the respondents (extremely happy/unhappy people are more vocal perhaps?), bias in the avenues used to find survey recipients (selecting for geeks perhaps?), or demographics of the early adopter versus the mass consumer. Attacking valid statistical technique (sampling) itself is not going to get you far.

Ditto, pretty well executed I thought.

I cannot see the logo of any traditional media outlet in that display; no CNN, News Limited anything, no BBC etc.

You can ask to see the group voting information at the polling booth on the day.

Where I live a termite charge is far more of a threat because it will take out the whole house, not just the washing machine.

Seems a waste to develop a new rocket when 75 milliTeslas (75 mT) of magnetic flux density in the form of a neodymium magnet doesn't weigh much.
One can only assume that the authors wished to express the SI related unit of 75 tonnes (75 t) or 75000 kg. Even in the US this unit is denoted by "t"
