[The F-35] is a heaping pile of shith that we didn't need, and don't need, and may never get, and is sucking taxpayer money down like a drunk sailor in Subic bay.
That's decades of pain that China won't have to go through to get something comparable to the F-35.
It's like them buying furniture from Ikea instead of shown a forest. Some assembly is required, but most of the work has already been done.
On the other hand, maybe, just maybe, Chinese ingenuity will come up with a way to keep the Osprey from falling out of the sky and killing people (something we can't seem to be able to do).
Or they'll just take their losses with the tech.
Life isn't as valuable in places like China and India as it is in first world countries, from both a government point of view, and an individual point of view.
It's changing, but not so much that they'll be on par with the first world anytime soon.
More likely though, China will probably just turn around and sell the info to the highest bidder. Russia, Iran, India even, are all looking to assert their place in the world. And in some cases, China's probably still got a leg up even after they sell off the tech due to the sheer amount of skilled labor (in this case, fighter pilots) they have there.
You should look into T-Mobile again. Buy your own phone, and sign up for one of those no contract plans. It wouldn't prevent this kind of B.S., but at least you could drop them and move to another carrier for doing it.
My math is a bit different, but I separate download usage and upload usage, because the patterns associated with each is different. For downloads, 37.5 MB/s is around 2.95TB/day, which yields a cap of around 88-91TB/month depending on whether it's 30 or 31 days. For uploads, it's 7.75MB/s, which is around 0.64TB/day, which yields around 19.1-19.7TB/month.
So yes, there is a limit to the amount of data that can be moved per unit of time, irrespective of whether the service is "unlimited" or not. The limit is a product of the caps to the download and upload speeds. Hence, even if this guy had been using this bandwidth legitimately, the headline would still be a no brainer.
That's a lot of data being moved around. A normal person, even constantly using Netflix (12GB/day), Skype (80GB/day for conferences of 7+ people), and Slingbox (30GB/day) at the same time continuously 24/7 would be barely push 100GB/day (the usages listed are based on maxing out the services' recommended speeds, not on actual average usage amounts).
Thus far. But the number of unintentional collisions have increased significantly these past few years. And the number of maneuvers needed to avoid debris have also increased recently. Even the ISS had a hole punched in one of its solar panels recently by debris.
Rumor is, they bought Sun for Java, in particular, for the purposes of suing Google over their implementation of Java used in Android. Rumor is, they thought they could recoup the cost of Sun with the award they'd be getting from that and subsequent lawsuits.
What saved Apple was a leader with creativity and vision, and a rabid fan base.
I don't know if Yahoo has the former, but I can tell you with certainty that they don't have the latter. They have a solid user base, but they're by no means fans. Which means that they cannot afford to make as many mistakes as Apple could.
The newest versions of Firefox aren't horrible, but it got a bit rough a few versions back. I do wish they'd bring back the status bar though. Everything else has otherwise settled down into something fairly decent and quite usable.
Google, however, is settling into a "we are Google, we can do anything we want and you just have to suck it" mode. They're treating nobody well at this point, neither their customers nor their users. It's only a matter of time before somebody a bit nicer comes along and eats their lunch.
There are weak, as in the elderly who have survived and children who have not been given the chance, or people who might have just had a bout of very bad luck, and the weak who are unfit to survive by virtue of their inability to become useful, productive members of society.
Techniques developed to save the former also save the latter, and vice versa. As a species, we would probably be better off with fewer of the latter. But who might be able to judge to whom treatment is given, and to whom it is denied? I don't think any human is qualified. A diety? None such exist, and if one does, it is certainly deferring its judgment until later. Our only choice is to help as many as we can, and hope the person we are helping belongs to the former, and not the latter.
Also, it's important to remember that while some deaths might be good for the whole, each death is also an individual tragedy for those close to that person. I only wish I could remember who said this.
This is kinda putting the horse before the cart. The fact that galaxies exist as localized clumping of matter is postulated to be due to this "dark matter" substance that does not interact with anything else, including itself, in any way except by gravity. I.e., dark matter is the proposed explanation for galaxies, not the other way around.
I suspect all this noise about downloading the video is more due to Google trying to appease the demands of some big the publishers and "content creators".
Not that Microsoft is in the right, but I wonder if Google's trying to act like the dog of some of these other companies at the moment.
Proposed penalty: Full access to Apple's internal iOS APIs. App store unlock. Apple cannot develop software that other companies cannot develop.
That's how Microsoft has to operate with their monopoly in the OS market. The guys working on Office cannot use an API call that the guys working on Windows has not disclosed.
It's crucial to know the distribution of that 11%. If they were all located in one area, it might be as you say, But if the 11% was comprised of a few files in each major module, then that'd be bad.
You want the bulk of your program doing the actual work to look like a tree. You don't want the bulk of your program to look like a mesh (graph). This is especially true of your core components.
Well, that's the thing. It's not rare. It's only perceived to be rare. But that's a perception that came about as a result of human value placed upon its intrinsic properties.
In fact, a big reason why it's been the de facto currency all the world over is due to its plentifulness. The other big reason is because it's easy to work with, and the final (slightly lesser) reason is because it does not oxidize.
I want to emphasize that the viability of this tactic depends on the state. In some states, refusing the tests is an automatic admission of DWI. Whether it'll hold up in court or not is a completely different matter.
Pst. It's not the government. Remember that cars were popularized in the U.S. Look at Detroit's transportation infrastructure for just how bad things can become.

Do you ban yourself from New York because of the $3500 fee they charge for filming in certain public buildings?
Please do.
Pretty please?
They've already mastered the ability to generate energetic CO2 in large quanitites. It seems they're starting to move up in the world.

It'll only be a matter of time.
I hope you realize that of the two roots you listed, one is a direct result of the other.
The only thing that collapses when you measure something is your ignorance about the state of the universe.
Could it collapse differently if I measured it than if you did, assuming neither of us knew the measurement beforehand?
The same thing with Java.
Rumor is, they bought Sun for Java, in particular, for the purposes of suing Google over their implementation of Java used in Android. Rumor is, they thought they could recoup the cost of Sun with the award they'd be getting from that and subsequent lawsuits.
Enjoy the show. I've got an underground bunker built just for this!

And judges! Will nobody think of the judges!
So who knows what is possible when the corporations who fund (and hence choose the direction of) most medical research are not interested in looking?
I do. They'll just buy up the research when it's completed and bury it.
Oil companies have been doing that for decades.

The signs of impairment were present at 4. I suspect the abuse has been chronic since then.
