Time is part of the universe, so there wasn't and there will never be a point in time when the universe doesn't exist. On the other hand, there could be other universes, possibly with their own times.
Another point that lots of people, especially in the US, seem to miss is that these cars are (mostly) not meant to be sold. The main use case is that people will just call one when needed. If done on a large scale there will be a much larger number of cars available than current taxis, so one will almost always be nearby.
Transportation is not a product, it's a service.
Much cheaper and requires far less parking space. Also you don't need to bother ever again with repairs and model upgrades. Remember: private cars spend >90% of their time parked. Waste of time and space.
No wonder Google is making its own cars. Conventional car makers are probably scared shitless of this future and would do anything to keep the public in the old world.
yes, requiring a company WHO IS IN THE HEALTH-CARE BUSINESS to continue saving lives and not taking profits as the first thing.
But the whole reason why they are required to do so is because there are other companies producing the same drug. If this wasn't the case nobody would have cared which of the two versions they produced.
It's fixing a stupid situation with even more stupidity rather than attacking the root causes: patents and excessive effect of advertising on doctors' decisions.
I'm not even sure it can make the trip to the ISS with a crew with this configuration.
It can't. The DIVH lacks the features required to safely launch humans anywhere. This will be a one-off test. The "real" thing begins with EM1 and the following missions.
Especially in the Italian Wikipedia pretty much any article about the catholic church is written from the point of view of someone that believes in that religion. Edits that try to follow the NPOV (neutral point of view) rule are immediately reverted, any negative information, even when well-referenced, is deleted or hidden in a brief mention inside a long paragraph at the end of an article.
Unfortunately the people that keep these articles in such bad state seem to have far more free time than the volunteers that want to improve them following the rules, so wikipedia's gradual improvement model fails for these articles about religion.
Ah, the irony of using "security and privacy" to argue in favour of old unencrypted HTTP/1.1 and against always-encrypted SPDY (which HTTP/2.0 is based on).
This actually decreases security. Browser caching is strictly necessary to make the web work fast, disabling it for HTTPS means discouraging websites from using secure connections for anything where it's not strictly necessary (like money). And $DEITY knows we live in a world where every website should be secure by default. You wouldn't use telnet even for a completely non-sensitive server, so why accept unencrypted HTTP to post on slashdot or anywhere else?
A shared computer should not let users see other users' private files (and browser caches are most definitely not world-readable). This is what happens with Android multi-login, Chrome OS and traditional Linux distros. I'm fairly certain the same is also true for Windows and Mac OS X.
If I temporarily let someone use my computer with my account, I sure as hell keep an eye on what they are doing, because the thing contains stuff about me that's much more sensitive than anything that paypal or my bank will ever know.
"Rooting" means exploiting a security flaw to get root privileges in a device that is designed to prevent users from doing that (e.g. the iPhone or the Android phones sold by some US network operators).
Bootloader unlocking and root access was available and well documented on the first Android device designed by Google (the Nexus One), simply by running the command "fastboot oem unlock".
The same command worked on the second Android phone by Google, the Nexus S, and all subsequent devices, including tablets: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. Unsurprisingly it also works on Glass.
Google is one of the few big "social" companies around that never resell users' data to any third party. Read those big legal blobs before clicking "I accept".
In Italy, like the rest of the EU, public money must usually be spent through transparent public contracts awarded to the lowest bidder that satisfies all requirements.
To make sure that Linux or LibreOffice don't cause problems the trick is very simple: they put e.g. "Windows 7" or "Microsoft Office 2010" in the requirements and pretend to have open competitive bids by comparing offers from different resellers for Microsoft software.
Another common trick is to let the situation degenerate until it becomes an emergency. At that point the law allows contracts to be awarded directly to a company arbitrarly chosen by a politician. This explains "emergencies" that last decades like the garbages crisis in Naples.

Also your rambling about men at NASA doesn't make sense: most people with job title "computer" at NASA were women, it was a female-dominated field.
Porn websites use Flash if you have the plugin installed, otherwise most of them fall back to standard HTML .
WebM with VP9 video and Opus audio.
Google announced the decision in an update at the bottom of https://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2015/03/maintaining-digital-certificate-security.html. I'm happy they did: certification authorities need to understand that there are consequences to gross negligence or worse.
This is not what big data is, this is just selling customers' information. And Google, despite being listed in the summary, never does it BTW.

There are companies with multi-PB databases (PB, not TB).
IP is a marketing term, there's no concept of IP in the law. There are trademarks, copyright and patents. Ideas cannot be owned by anyone.
From the Google Play Store you can install a terminal emulator, an HTTP server, an SSH/SFTP server or client, bash, vim, gcc, make, git, mc, rsync...
Android supports standard keyboards and mice, and many devices have some sort of HDMI output (usually with an adapter).
BTW, both the article and the summary are wrong: Europe too succeeded in their first attempt, with Mars Express in 2003.
You know, right, that you can set a daily budget limit in AdWords and Google won't go over it?

No thanks, wouldn't want a car that I can't manually override when shit happens.
Dude, if you want to drive a car manually you are the shit that will happen to other people on the road.

This is BS. If an attacker has access to your files in your local disk, they have already won.

How many games support it? Unless it has wide support it's just not worth it.
