If they think that omitting that feature will mean more games sales, they are mistaken.
True, if people were buying consoles as media boxes then you are right, they won't sell more games this way, but they might sell less consoles are loss making prices so they would still be better off financially as a result.
There have been impacts with the moon and asteroids, but the point of those was to kick up lots of dust and then use spectral analysis of light shining through the dust to examine what it's made of.
This is the different in that it's aim is to return a physical sample in a container of later more controlled analysis.
That explains why he was afraid of snakes, not why there were thousands of them living inside an apparently sealed tomb with no obvious food or water sources.
Are you really comparing a National Health Service to Stalin?
You can not possibly be so stupid as to think that the GP actually believe hip replacements fall from the sky, you know perfectly well that the GP means free at the point of delivery. Maybe you are worried that people will abuse the system by going out of their way to multiple hip replacements just for the fun of it?
It's not the compile and compare to existing binaries that's the expensive bit, that would just show the same source code was used.
The expensive bit is someone has to review everyline of code and really understand it to eliminate possible backdoors and someone has to review the workflow to find flaws in the implementation.
The one thing that really surprises me is you haven't heard more from NRA type organisations. The one thing they are always shouting about as a reason for the right to bear arms is to defend themselves against their own Government and yet here is what could easily be perceived as an attack by the government on the people and not a word is heard.
Same goes for the Tea Party members who are supposedly against government interferrence and want smaller government yet I've not heard a word about something which could easily be used to influence policy and costs a fortune.
Both groups seem to be treating this as a seperate issue from their own agendas but just a little logical thinking shows it makes great arguments for their own positions.
Note: I'm in the UK, so maybe those groups are making those arguments and it's just not being reported over here.
Because the UK had on going legal fight from Gary McKinnon. In that case he had openly admitted to accessing NASA and DoD computers (hacking is a bit of a strong word for what he did) and we still didn't give him up, despite goverment openly stating he should be the courts ruled against it.
Also, Britain can't legally extradict to countries where the accused faces the Death Penalty and members of the US Senate had already publically claimed Assange should face the death penalty. Whether that was a legal possiblity I have no idea, but it certainly made the possibility of extradiction harder.
So you are saying programmers should just be able to stick existing code blocks together with the appropriate software glue, which would be the closest analogy to assembling an engine like a piece of IKEA furniture.
Fujitsu were claiming that the way the bidding for the rollout program was setup left them at a disadvantage when they pulled out.
Various conditions surrounding the BDUK process, which we have discussed with the [Department for Culture, Media and Sport], effectively rule Fujitsu out of the competition for new areas. So while we remain supportive of the process and its objectives, we are not actively pursuing opportunities within it.
And BT and Fujitsu were the only 2 perferred bidders so although it was an open competition in theory, any one other than BT or Fujitsu would have had to have made far more attractive (less profitable) bids to even be in the running.
They've already demonstrated the market is willing to pay current pricing
The current price the market is willing to pay is based on a certain average household income. But if you lose a significant proportion of that household income then the pricing will have to drop.
It's a classic Tragedy of the Commons scenario, McDonalds and any other employer would be crazy to not implement robotics where ever it is economic to do so, but in doing so, reduces the available spending money their company needs to survive.
At first the effect is completely unnoticable, but as more and more employers do the effect becomes too big to ignore and by then it's too far down the road to total automation to go back.
I think the author-pays is an interesting one - and quite possibly might be a way to cut down the number of bad articles - after all, if you're not willing to pony up, you probably don't have enough belief In your research.
That fails to address an issue like the Heartland Institute financially backing anyone with a paper which supports one of their own policies.
Yahoo, however, has a monopoly as the only interested party..... I'd suggest finding a shady Russian bar and explain that you have services to offer
But that is the whole point, Yahoo hasn't got a monopoly because they aren't the only interested party.
Next time, the researchers (not just these guys, but researchers in general) are going to ask why they should give Yahoo first bid when they know it's going to lead to nothing but an insult for their efforts.
Same way you build a nuclear power station, with a huge construction crew, but once it's built I can't see a wind farm needing as many staff as a nuclear power plant.
But one of the issues mentioned in TFA was increases in taxes to cover the lost tax revenue from the plant.
Yes, not as many people would be employed by a Wind Farm of equal capacity to a lost Nuclear Power Plant, but the revenue would still benefit the local community by reducing the individual tax burdens.
Trolls don't gouge Apple, MS, Oracle, Google and the rest for the most part; because they know they will be fought and will lose.
Trolls go for the little guys without the resources to defend themselves, and in doing so, help the big guys without the big guys having to get their hands dirty.
But it's also what some of the passengers on the ship did so long that they died.
Do you have evidence of passengers just waiting around until they died? as opposed to being immediately trapped and unable to help themselves short of diving equipment and possibly cutting gear for getting through closed doors/debris?
Are you saying that just because they are desparate for work the loss of their potential jobs shouldn't be considered?
At the end of the day, that wage would have been paid back into the community while a capital investment in a robot won't be, or at least not as efficiently.
A limit on acceleration would deal with the majority of cases. If they really cared enough about acceleration sue to downhill slopes, they could add in very gentle braking too.
That wouldn't work for motorbikes, you need slightly positive accerlation when banking around a corner. It's a very small accerlation but it is needed to maintain stability.
Even worse would be applying brakes when going around a corner.
There was a trial of speed limited motorbikes a few years back, they got a bunch of traffic police to try them out on a track. Apparently a lot of them looked very white at the end and said the system could never work.

It wouldn't be the first sex sting against members of the government run by a news organisation but how do they get around the pimping laws?

It's a declining empire, it's going to do more and more ridiculous things to maintain it's position at the top of the heap.
But that is the whole point, Yahoo hasn't got a monopoly because they aren't the only interested party.
Next time, the researchers (not just these guys, but researchers in general) are going to ask why they should give Yahoo first bid when they know it's going to lead to nothing but an insult for their efforts.
of course not, because the issue is not really about driving it's about independance.

Steam loco's didn't die out because of speed, they died because of huge maintenance bills associated with them.
It took hours just to get the steam pressure up, that's 2 hours of fuel before you can even turn a wheel.
So?
Are you saying that just because they are desparate for work the loss of their potential jobs shouldn't be considered?

Motorbikes just don't work like cars.
