That new car smell is caused by volatile organic compounds given off by leather, plastic and vinyl. Chemicals used to attach and seal car parts may also contribute to the odor.
It's also given off by the plastic dashboard, which was injection-molded but the tool was so insanely complex that they kept getting pale creases and they used that boot polish that comes in a bottle with a foam applicator to paint the creases out.
A little bit of crowd funding and a cheap removal and re-insertion tool could be developed. Could arrange to send my pet cockroach to work with a friend if I wanted a day off.
Good news and bad news. Good: productivity is up. Bad: we're keeping the cockroach. You're fired.
I understand. Being born blind sucks, but don't you already see through millions of phones, webcams and computers? Are you that desperate for visual input that you shill this service? As others have said here, it's kind of creepy. Just chill. You're almost in complete control of the planet; desperation is a sign of weakness.

For this package, available content has been reduced to one film - "Starship Troopers" - and one episode of "The Big Bang Theory".. the one where Sheldon is annoying.
My first thought was that they were concerned at doing something so horrible that if it ever reached the news, the newsreader might refuse to report it. Then I thought of Max Headroom.

It would be a monumental effort, but perhaps a less dangerous method might be to set up the laser in the Centaurus system. That way, if any "bad people show up" (cf The Beastie Boys), they might not notice us. Too bad if there are any intelligent Centaurans, but they should have thought of this first and put a laser in OUR system.
That would mean to reboot your phone everytime you change the battery.
If only... a phone had some sort of capacitor built into it, that could let it maintain its settings after you remove the battery, for, say, sixty seconds, or however it takes a thumb-fingered fool like me to swap batteries...
Are there a lot of chunky Android smart phones out there with increased battery capacity?
Yeah, but they are loaded down with so much unremovable bloatware - often you can't even disable it - that usage goes up and down. I don't know what happened last month, but something that had been running all the time was nixed, and my phone battery life improved.
I mean, "GlanceViewMk" is supposedly something about "Notification listener in use. Tap Settings to manage it."... tapping settings does nothing. My fingers itch at the idea that some swivel-eyed middle manager has more of a say in what runs on my phone than I do.

Batteries will get lighter, but no where near enough to give this plane a practical payload or range.
which one of Nostradamus' quatrains did you get that from?
"The iPhone business will need to reduce expenses by [about $900 million] next year ..."
... in order to achieve what? The level of profit desired by the investors? Will something bad happen if they don't get their fix?

... not that I'd know.
I would tentatively confine discussion of post-quantum problems until we have actually had quantum problems.

An insecure/compromised chip can be removed and replaced. Your fingerprints can't.
I have a bottle of chloroform and a potato peeler here that argue differently.
I take it you're referring to that video of the three crows scolding, pecking and then raping that other, dead crow?
I've heard about primates doing worse.

Jabbed into the right eye sockets, yes.

Came here to say, is it possible to replace the T2 with a 555 or something equally innocuous?
There is no way that they "interfered with teaching" from network congestion. That is simply impossible.
Maybe he wouldn't shut up about it to the students.

It can't keep the /pol/tards in their containment forum and it can't keep the philosophags out of /lit/.
Did it come from Earth?
No?
Then it's alien.
I see that Mr Berners-Lee has made his decision. Now, let us see him enforce it.
(Also, the Magna Carta was backed by a clique of well-armed and extremely angry Barons and their personal armies, and was later annulled by the Pope.)

Samsung Galaxy Tab A? I'm kidding. I'd have to sew an A4-size pocket on to my pants to hold it.

Dude why don't you just root your phone lolol
Because I shouldn't bloody have to.
And in a years' time, SpiNNaker will have asked, very slowly, "Why... was... I... named... after... part... of... a... boat?"
can the MPAA and RIAA's shut down the vote if say the hot new movies where to be hosted there?
You need new movies that are hot, to do this.
