I think that for a lot of people, they only require tethering very infrequently, such as where WiFi is unavailable of too expensive, and they need net access for their laptop. I would happily pay £5 for 24 hours, since I would likely only use it once a month at most. In the UK, O2 are offering £15 a month for iPhone tethering, but that's too much for the amount of use I would get out of it.
Who's going to pay for your social security? Who's going to care for you in hospital? Who's going to develop technology to make your life easier? I suppose you're the kind of person who doesn't think they should have to pay for other people's children to go to school.
Yes, but they are not computer controlled. In a fly-by-wire aircraft, you would not be able to exert enough force on the rudder to break it. This would be equivalent to, in the power steering example, a car which not allow you to turn to the extent that you skid.
Maybe if previous generations in history hadn't had this attitude, we would know more about them today. Some day, many years from now, people may wish we had preserved the place man first walked on the moon. Guess what, all archeological sites were at one point places where there was 'nothing to discover'.
Yes it is just you. Slashdot is 'News For Nerds'. Not 'News for IT Professionals', or 'News for Computer Science Graduates'. The article's subject has relevance to Slashdot readers, because many of us are well versed in a particular field, and hate it when the media or pundits use a simple argument to convince lay-people of something which is flat out wrong.
He wanted to create an A3 document, to presumably be printed on a machine with an A3 printer at a later date. However, word would only allow him to create a document of a size his printer supported. Hilarity ensues.
There are plenty of species in the wild which could produce fertile offspring, but don't due to behavioural or mechanical problems (he gave an example in his article of some breeds of fly which produce fertile offspring, but have incompatible pheromones). This is the way biologists define species, and the possibility of artificial insemination is irrelevant.
Biologists already define a separate species as when two individuals cannot mate, be it due to genetics or mechanical or behavioural difficulties. The problem with dog breeds is that a Chihuahua can mate with a terrier, and a terrier can mate with a gun dog, and a gun dog can mate with the largest of dogs. Where would the author draw the line between species? There are a lot of cases like this in nature, and it is basically an arbitrary decision as to whether speciation has occurred. The whole premise of this article is essentially flawed, as it suggests that biologists have not already thought about these difficulties, when in fact this is basic pre-university biology.
Parents moving to an area with better schools is pretty common here too, mainly in the larger cities, and the middle class culture of sending kids to the better private schools (or public schools as we call them here) is very prevalent. I too went to a 'private' secondary school, then moved to a state sixth form, but the difference was no where near what you described.
I'm at a state sixth form college in England (equivalent to junior and senior year high school). I don't think much of our equipment at all is donated, certainly there are no stickers on any machines indicating they were. Obviously, this may be the difference in standards between the UK and US, but if what you say is true, then it is truly shocking.
That's rubbish. Barely any schools beyond primary run on donated computers. Most secondary schools have advanced networking equipment, multiple severs and hundreds of modern PCs, along with an IT services department. I don't know of a computer in my college older than 5 years.
Who says TechCrunch aren't wrong this time too? Last.fm have denied the story, all we have to go on are Michael Arrington and Russ Garrett's word, and I wouldn't trust Michael Arrington as far as I could throw him. As Russ Garrett notes in his rebuttal, TechCrunch gave Last.fm no time to respond to the story, and published it before the bank holiday weekend. All the evidence given by Michael Arrington is an anonymous source. Until otherwise proven, TechCrunch are full of shit.
On the rocket car show, they concluded that it was busted, not based on their experiment, but on the fact that all the local officials in the area deny that it happened. I think they do a good job on the smaller, cheaper to perform myths (the double dipping one they did recently was very well done), and provide great entertainment value on the more expensive myths.
Hitler just tacked himself, and his aims, onto this party. There were dozens like it at that time in Germany. He joined it, worked his way to the top, and reoriented it, killing anyone in the party who disagreed.

We don't have a written constitution. The only way for us to find out if it is unconstitutional is to challenge it in court.
What on Earth are you talking about?
Also factor in that 100% of users will use the increased battery life gained by expanding the battery area.
AT&T subsidised the phone you 'bought' a year ago. It's not unreasonable that they won't subsidise a new phone for you now.
Then it's your own damn fault for using an insecure password.
Also incorrect! The rudder can be extended to its limits safely, it just cannot be pushed back and forth too violently whilst flying.

The A300 is not a fly-by-wire aeroplane. The rudder pedals are mechanically connected to the rudder.

Never, because free Apps cannot use the microtransactions API.
That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

I'd be more surprised if there weren't a bunker under the VP's residence.
