Yes. For example, the Eurostar service uses the "Chunnel." A tunnel built under the English channel. I rode on it, it's amazingly smooth, albeit it a little eerie in the dark knowing you're under water. http://www.raileurope.com/blog...
Indeed. I can see it hurting the smaller and regional providers. I'm no cellular expert, but wouldn't this negatively impact the load on mobile networks too, specifically cell towers and make things slower for everyone?
It says right in the article that religious head wear is allowed. Other types are not. The lady in the article went though an appeals process that then allowed her to wear her religious spaghetti strainer thing on her head. Sounds legit.
Actually, my bad, TFA says there was someone from Google there who got a copy of it. Interesting though. They say all that needed to be done is to go to this website and with only one vul you own the phone w/o user interaction.
From TFA "acSec Google's Chrome for Android has been popped in a single exploit that could lead to the compromise of any handset.
The exploit, showcased at MobilePwn2Own at the PacSec conference in Tokyo yesterday but not disclosed in full detail, targets the JavaScript v8 engine. It can probably hose all modern and updated Android phones if users visit a malicious website"
Interesting. How do you come up with that number? I did a little math myself, and as a home and business owner, I'm probably somewhere close to that when you include real estate taxes, income, sales, etc. But I'm not sure if most people are in the same situation.
Have you seen iRobot where the robot choses to save Will Smith (the police officer) instead of the little girl because the robot calculates the little girl's probability of survival was lower? I thought that was an interesting take on decisions like this.
This. I was driving someone's new Ford Explorer and turned on the lane keep assist or whatever it was called. It would keep us in the lane but it did so by sort of jerking back and forth. I thought to myself that if there was ice on the roads we'd be screwed.
Makes sense. I'm just wondering why the hacked Xcode versions when you get it *for free* on the App Store and get updates there too. Just seems really stupid.
Off topic, but I swear I've heard people misuse the term saying it's a "moo" point" in business situations, literally making a cow-like sound. Then I get emails from them with every possibly misuse of their, there, they're, further, farther, two, too, to, etc. Perhaps it is because they know it annoys me.
One things that is interesting is that the buying and marketplaces are different between Amazon and Walmart. Just about anyone can sell on Amazon. Prime sellers obviously have some more hoops to jump through. Walmart has to have their buyers pick products, negotiate prices hard, etc. They have more work to do (I think) to sell you something. That has made some sellers move their products to Amazon. The other thing is that sellers don't have to run a whole eCommerce site anymore. Amazon makes it super easy to sell and for buyers to buy.
Anecdotally, I have a family of six. We have a "Super" Walmart which is the only major store in my town of 6,000 people the surrounding towns. They have groceries, the normal stuff they carry, an auto repair shop, a doctor, optometrist, two fast food places, and some other things and are open 24/7. We used to shop there all the time. If I wanted to go to Target or Best Buy or whatever I'd have to drive about 20 to 30 minutes or do it during my lunch hour (which is super inconvenient).
Now we shop almost exclusively at Amazon and we buy our groceries from Peapod. Selection and convenience are the biggest thing for me. I've moved to 90 percent or more of my purchases to Amazon (we have a family of six). Walmart either doesn't have what I need (they tend to carry lower end things here anyway) or I just don't feel like going there. Waiting two days for Amazon is fine.
BTW, Peapod is freaking awesome too because everything is just there. It saves your last order and you can just reorder, adjust quantifies or whatever, it's usually about the same price as Walmart's grocery store. Produce is great and they even deliver those 40 lb. water softener salt bags that Walmart has all the way in the back of the store even though everyone here needs them.
I'm far from an expert, but the wild speculation that's coming from outsiders (i.e. not scientists who published the paper) is that it could be a civalization in the process of building a Dyson sphere. I suppose if they only had a piece complete maybe we'd see something like this?
Anyway, my money would be on something much more boring, like some dark-type binary star scenario, although, I suppose they could tell if that was the case. IDK, it's interesting. Any other ideas from the astronomers on what it could be?
Wow, 75/75. What area are you in? I want to move! To be clear in case others wonder the $299/mo is if I was to "renew" my 15/2 business class service. For the 50/5 residential service it's about $50/mo.
This. I've had 15/2 for almost 7 years. They *just* started offering 50/5 here it's getting installed today. With about 20 devices (iDevices for kids, laptops, TVs, FireTVs, GoogleTVs, etc.), it's about time. On the business side that same 15/2 used to cost $60/mp. Now it costs $299/mo. I think Time Warner Cable Business Class is trying to fatten up their bottom line before the Charter deal goes through.
OP could create a YouTube channel. If you make the videos private (i.e. only your login to YouTube can see them) and then have your kids use the same login you'll be the only ones that can see the videos. You can also publish the video but make them "unlisted" which anyone could technically find but they'd need to figure out the link.

Obviously we should use them to create a Beowulf cluster.

A question on the history of Stack Exchange. What was the original idea that drove you to make StackExchange and how has it evolved or added since?
Interesting. How do you come up with that number? I did a little math myself, and as a home and business owner, I'm probably somewhere close to that when you include real estate taxes, income, sales, etc. But I'm not sure if most people are in the same situation.
The part you left out is that there were only two employees.
I'm sure these cars will do great around the Magic Roundabout: http://basementgeographer.com/...
Is that a world-wide number? US annual traffic deaths are around 30,000 a year.
Have you seen iRobot where the robot choses to save Will Smith (the police officer) instead of the little girl because the robot calculates the little girl's probability of survival was lower? I thought that was an interesting take on decisions like this.
Agreed. But, just like the doctors, the car companies will find a way to bend the law their way and have limits on how much they can be sued for.

Oh man, Joey was always so funny. Good call.
Makes sense. I'm just wondering why the hacked Xcode versions when you get it *for free* on the App Store and get updates there too. Just seems really stupid.
Yea, I don't get it either. Xcode can be downloaded from the App Store. That's how I got and update mine.

Great point. Sort of like an eclipse.

The video in TFA is really interesting. Definitely some tense moments (even knowing the outcome) when it went into Abort to Orbit.
