Considering Uplink and SpaceChem were only offered in their PC forms before, this is still a deal. I agree, though, that the repetition of bundle games is driving down my personal demand.
Gingerbread has only been out for the Nexus for about a week though. It's a first look at what might be coming to other devices still running Froyo.
To be fair though, TFA is a device review, NOT an article strictly about Gingerbread on the Nexus.
Outsourcing it is cheap because it needs to compete with these roll-your-own systems. If small mail were totally blacklisted, I wouldn't be surprised to find mail services prices bump a bit. Afterall, they'd be the only people with an ISP allowing port 25...
This struck me as an uncomfortable idea from the getgo, but I didn't realize why for a while until this occurred to me. I would be very uneasy not having the URL I'm visiting available at a glance. TFA suggests this layout would be optional, though.
The device actually already has yaw, as the video above shows (you can spin the craft around). As for pitch, I can't find a video, but I'm under the impression that it does have pitch control, being able to do loop-de-loops.
On what grounds? I wouldn't say "never had one." If they find it in Google cache, it means I didn't care enough about the privacy of that information to alter my settings to prevent that.
TFA doesn't suggest all employees must do this, only those up for hire or recert.
If I were the employee, I'd use Facebook's activation feature to temporarily remove my account from the system. "What account? Facebook? Don't have one."
If it's an "insecure link" (which is the whole reason SSH was developed ANYWAY), then ANY connection is technically compromised.
You can't just assume one that was established "sometime before" is more secure than a new one now. If you carry your assumptions through consistently, they're both compromised and you should just disconnect.
Maybe I'm an optimist, but uh...pretty sure we've been here before and censorship didn't really cut it for Iran's government. The Neda video, Twitter, Facebook, Tor usage, cell phones. There's just too many ways for information to flow from Iran (or Burma or wherever) for any censorship to really be effective. The best ideas would be cutting off ALL access, or white-lists, both of which create serious issues for Iran in terms of being connected to the world.
A friend of mine recently decided to enter school, not having pursued any secondary education after high school. He asked for my help with prep for a math placement exam, not wanting to waste his money and time on remedial courses that would not have even counted as credits toward his degree. If this kind of 'corporate education' was more established at the time, he could have spent some money, worked his ass off, and placed higher on the placement test. Consider this small course list a 'beta' for this type of education.
Your post sums up all the things that are wrong in the popular mind, and exactly why research budgets are falling at a time when they need to be drastically expanded.
Furthermore, it's rather arrogant to diminish the very deserving accomplishments of others just because you simply lack the imagination to think past today. If you don't find any use to it, don't use it. This developer felt it was necessary/cool/practical/etc. to put Ubuntu on a Kindle. This is basically THE tenet that guides software development by individuals. You develop what you use and keep to yourself re: the things you don't use.
Besides, you're ignoring the point. The real issue here is highlighted by this passage:
But now the IAAF claim that they want to conduct further tests to see if 'she may have a rare medical condition that gives her an unfair advantage.'
In a world where people can change their identities at will (transsexualism, etc.), or otherwise, what changes need to be made to the outdated simple classifications?
And additionally, the obnoxious notion of "fairness" further complicates the issue.
Well, my favorite way to think about 3+1 spacetime as a relatively inexperienced student is as a "loaf" of bread (a la The Elegant Universe). If a "slice" of the loaf contains the 3 conventional space dimensions, and different slices represent different placement in time, then you have a basis for any particular event (4 coordinates that allow you to locate it perfectly).
Perhaps a second dimension of 'time' (which is a slightly incorrect notion, as far as I understand) allows another degree of freedom (like the Copenhagen interpretation)?.
On an unrelated note, this guy is from UMCP, that's sweet!
Distributing a lot of small reactors sounds like a logistical nightmare. Imagine the power draw when the Death Star actually intends to fire. Is it easier to lay the wire and controls necessary to manage that from one reactor, or several?
Not to mention that by assuming the reactors are nuclear, taking down the Death Star might be even easier. More reactors, less security, I'd think it'd be easier to slip an infiltrator in to sabotage one of them.
This article is garbage. See below:
Let's not even go near the idea of light beams being slow enough to dodge; that's just something you have let go of, or risk insanity.
Ah because slow light is complete science fiction, of course!
While there might be a few isolated cases where it could be useful, I'm not sure what they are.
That's generally how R&D goes. How many railgun rifles are soldiers (or boats or whatever) equipped with, versus the amount of money spent playing with them?
For any given idea, SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE has an interest/use in/for it.
If it was a privatized company, nobody would care. Companies (coughgooglecough) develop with free reins all the time, to allow their employees to explore new ideas. But when you're talking about gov't funds...it's a whole different ballgame, I suppose.
I'm not a doctor/chemist/etc., but iirc, HCl is important in prescription drugs for delivery, because of it's membrane transport properties. Or something.
It's attached to a LOT of prescription medications, I do know that.
Sometimes, the difference between good work and great work is satisfaction or lack thereof.
I imagine the guys at NASA haven't been thinking "well gosh, we sure got lucky with it lasting that long." It's probably something along the lines of "OK, but how much further could we go?"
People often compare a clean windows install to a clean linux install, forgetting that a clean linux install is a fully usable system that's ready to go, while a clean windows install is largely useless until you install a significant number of third party apps.
The hidden costs of windows...
The awesome thing about saying something as silly as this is that you get away with it.
There's no such thing as a "linux install" period, much less a clean one. Windows is a [relatively] standardized product. You can buy a Windows CD. There's no unambiguous Linux. Are you trying to tell me putting a barebones kernel on a 3.5" counts as a "fully usable system" as much as a DVD install of [distribution of choice] does?
Granted, MOST distributions come with more useful stuff than a Windows install (like productivity options), but you're trying to compare Windows to Linux, where Linux is an unimaginably large subset of system layouts.

Is that why there are so many hookers named Chastity?

OT, but one of my favorite spacecraft videos is the departure video from MESSENGER.
Why ban lead paint or require seat belts then? I don't disagree with you, but this isn't a black/white issue.

Here's a youtube video of the drone meeting several of these criteria. http://youtu.be/a8ZbtZqH6Io
Since all that wildlife was stuck in the oil slick, there wasn't much hope to begin with, was there?
