if the drop in theft of one device and the rise in theft of a competing device both seem to hinge on the same event, then it does stand to reason that the event (the release of iOS7) is the reason... but why would we believe it is this specific feature? Given the security issues and complaints that accompanied iOS7 when it released, isn't there another reasonable explanation? Perhaps iOS devices became somewhat less popular and the Samsung devices filled that void? I'm just saying, there is a correlation for sure, but there's not compelling evidence that the implied cause is correct.
You may be right, but the summary & article both pretty strongly imply that the kill switch is reducing theft numbers for the device. I can't help but wonder if this is actually a result of there being more samsung phones in the wild now than before, and/or less iOS phones.
Actually, evolution works through life, not death. The best adaptations for the given environment get to reproduce and produce young. It is entirely possible that in low gravity, something in our reproductive systems doesn't work as we'd expect and it becomes much more difficult to produce children -- in which case, the natural selection would be through which mutations allow children to be conceived and raised rather than through death.
I think you may have a fundamental misunderstanding of evolution if you believe it works only through death. Evolution is about generations (many, many generations), not about a single lifetime. Evolution isn't about the death of the mutations that don't work, it's about the reproduction of the mutations that DO work. The examples you gave about pilgrims has nothing to do with evolution.
Thanks for being the only person on this entire thread to say something useful. Diversity isn't about fairness to genders or races, it's about getting the best representation so that you get input from places you might not have looked otherwise. It's not a question of talent, it's a question of perspective. As evidenced by the rest of the comments, people suck at getting perspective in today's society.
Sec. 101. Refundable tax credit for congressional House campaign contributions.
Seriously? This is literally trading tax dollars for campaign dollars. What the hell kind of reform is this? Even with the proposed $50 limit on the credit it's a bad idea -- and what good is $50 going to do, anyway?
I think what you're missing here is that we are not at the *end* of human evolution, but instead we are somewhere in the middle. Perhaps that's why the human face is better than some other creatures for taking a punch, but not as good as it could be. Also keep in mind that there are many other factors that would go into the evolution of the human face, and what we look like right now is a result of all of those to varying degrees.
I log in to my Amazon Payments account and I still don't see any recurring nor scheduled payments options. Is this on a rolling deployment where some users get it before others?
That's why the headline says "might" and the summary says "may" -- because they correlate strongly, but the causal link isn't proven.

Auto-save typically saves to an alternate location and when you exit (or if you have a power failure, then next time you load) you are asked if you'd like to commit those changes to your actual document. This is true in office applications and video games, at least.
This article is about recoverable oil, and according to wikipedia "the technology for converting rock into an oil from the Green River oil shale deposit has not been developed, and it has never been profitably implemented at any significant scale."
I have a lot of friends with kids who complain about common core, and I've long suspected that what you just said is the reality here. I hope the public backlash does not stop our teachers from teaching students these valuable tools just because their parents don't understand it.
The US has the most right leaning government there is. It also has the most racially, socially, culturally, and economically diverse population there is.
We certainly do have a right-leaning gov't, but your statement just isn't true. There are lots of gov'ts that are farther right than us. Particularly in the Middle East & Aftrica.
Also, people who don't do well academically tend to not take tests like the SAT and ACT. It is a self-selecting group who do, and they tend to be fairly confident that they stand a chance of passing, at least.
Ya, so that's an article about a prototype but what I asked for was a link to the consumer product that the other post was referring to. Great job being a dick and still not getting the point.

Seriously! One person's emails != my tax data...
Sure you *can* configure it that way, but I think most of us would not expect the IRS to configure it that way.
If it's from CNN, they'll probably claim the emails were on the Malaysia Airlines flight...

That's the beautiful thing about the future, it is still (and always will be) ahead of us.
Don't worry, your "omniscient" god doesn't know the difference ;-)

You referenced the same article I did, but completely ignored the rest of the paragraph you quoted from.

Agreed, and our testing system encourages rote learning -- which doesn't help at all.
Standardizing *what* they teach isn't such a bad idea, but standardizing *how* they teach is the part that we should stay away from.

And better socio-economic status generally means you are in a safer environment... so I think you just helped the GPs point.
