Rihanna may be a wee bonnie lass from the Islands, but no French court shall capture a free pirate folk from thereabouts, what with these letters of Marque from the English Queen we be having!
Actually, the article post is misleading in the title. The primary patent holder is in fact UCLA. You'd be surprised how many patents universities hold and then license.
Sometimes, having the primary patent holder be a public university means that nobody gets to engage in patent wars, as public universities have no incentive to do things that are not in the public good like that. Thus disarming Facebook, Disney, and Wal-Mart (china) from killing off their competitors.
Agree on smaller airports. But the TSA farce at larger airports like SEA and SFO just makes me end up driving instead.
When I add in the time spent in stupid security lines that don't even stop 1/5th of terrorist attack tests, I just fail to see the point. The Security Theater does not make us safer, and as a former Army Sgt with counter-terrorism and explosives experience, it drives me batty what a waste and insanity it all is.
Just for fun I like to sneak a few items on board each time I fly that shouldn't be there. They never find them. Ever.
While I completely agree that this was an outrage.
We didn't have any Japanese attacks on American soil after that happened.
So maybe it helped? Or maybe it was the huge war we waged on the Japanese after Pearl Harbor.
As they say, hindsight is 20/20.
Not true. In fact, fire balloon attacks almost took out the atomic bomb development here on the Pacific coast. There are other events, including the Aleutian islands and various events up and down the coast in the US.
Why do you say they are ignorant? TSA is responsible for making sure that terrorists don't crash airplanes into our office buildings and work places. You don't have to fly to know that there haven't been any planes flown into office buildings in some time in the US. Now, I do fly a few times a year - and the security theater is pathetic. I'm about to fly again in two weeks and am not looking forward to it. However from the point of view of "average person who doesn't fly" - why would they not be satisfied that someone seems to be keeping planes from falling from the sky? It might be the same in principle as the old "tiger preventing rock", but to them it must be working.
Actually, I have this whistle that keeps Seattle safe from tigers.
Works fairly well for lions too, but not so great for bears.
Are you saying we're giving deaf gerbils superpowered human ears, using stem cells that don't require a pound of flesh to make a small amount of stem cells?
Christmas season means early adopters in mid to late October, timed for the film/fashion spheres, with purchase somewhere around Thanksgiving to allow for the entire Black Monday and Cyber Tuesday crowd.
I mostly use my iPad to surf the web, actually. It's great at videos, with a much larger screen than the iPhone, and it's easy to get free podcasts of video and music from excellent sources like KEXP and PBS and NPR and G4TV... even Icelandic music videos!
The iPad mini should price out around $500 for the 32 GB version, but you can get a cheaper one if you pay tons for your data plan. You end up paying more of course, but American consumers are suckers that way.
While having two basic shell color models reduces parts supply problems, and allows for quick fixes for breakage, a missing rebrand upscaling of the iPhone 5 is the ability to buy it with shell casing matching school colors.
For example, at the UW Bookstore, you could get a Dawg iPhone 5 with Purple and Gold colors. A part of the proceeds could go to the university or college doing this.
Up till now, most people have settled for fab work done by friends, or used shell cases such as the waterproof rugged casing a lot of my friends who keep them in their purses use, but it's the most obvious thing, other than "signed" cases done by designers such as Hermes or so on.
Face it, if you're going dancing, you probably want the slimmest profile for the phone you can get, as well as a user-identifiable dongle. Just look at the Japanese teen market for ideas in this sphere.
The part I like the best about the iPhone 5 is the new time travel app, that lets you skip back in time a preset duration, ranging from 10 seconds to 1 day.
Helped me avoid all the lines by allowing me to walk into the shipping rooms through a door using a double time skip sequence to avoid the guards.
It is almost as if most forensic scientific labs are funded primarily through money gathered based on convictions, and not on innocence.
Kind of like how our prisons are clogged up with non-violent offenders to provide cheap prison labor even though most of those people are no threat to our society.
But so long as most of this comes from prosecutorial funds, why should we expect otherwise?

Do yer worst, Frenchies! Do yer worst!
No. I'm still Mayor of Kaslo BC on Friendster.
So we can't wait.
Why not? They were already using public funds to help train advocates for illegal immigration.
Quoting a claim from Faux News is never a sign of academic rigor.

You can find a lot of this online in PBS history specials, or on UW TV.
The History Channel sometimes rebroadcasts some of it.

No, the hammer is for crushing nuts with.
Beer is for everything else. Or hard cider. Both are excellent lubricants too.
So, in other words, they shredded some pencil leads on scotch tape and called it superconducting at room temperature?
Why do you hate America and love Communist Russia version 2.0 so very much?
The TSA is unconstitutional.
Period.
I claim prior art to the use of the word delcared.
All your words are belong to me.
Are you saying we're giving deaf gerbils superpowered human ears, using stem cells that don't require a pound of flesh to make a small amount of stem cells?
Or did someone forget to actually RTFA ...
There's less room in Americans' pants pockets lately.
Not really. If you go to stores nowadays, they expanded the coin/key pocket to be a cell pocket inside the right front pants pocket.
Keep up.
Tiny? The visible portion if it's on your lap is approximately the same as a 20 inch TV set back in the 90s.
My 42 inch HDTV, even at 1080p, has about the same resolution. Look at the specs.
unless you keep your iPad on a shelf across the room, but who would do that?
Christmas season means early adopters in mid to late October, timed for the film/fashion spheres, with purchase somewhere around Thanksgiving to allow for the entire Black Monday and Cyber Tuesday crowd.
It's September. that's pretty darned soon.

Lots of fab work is being done in Vietnam, Thailand, and other countries, due to increased costs in China, actually.
The major reason for the large case is many women stick them in their purses where they get banged up something fierce.
If you put it in your jeans cell pocket, you really don't need a case.

No, I am just basing it on my brother's old criminology text books.
But .. I'm not an AC.
