Theoretically yes, in practice no. The amount of technology needed to grow food is less than the amount needed to trade for it. Think Victory gardens in the US during WWII. The problem isn't entirely lack of food production, but it's hard to come up with examples of countries that have thriving exports that aren't also capable of feeding themselves
Plus, by failing to produce your own food your ceding an incredible amount of control to other nations..
Bullshit. These don't replace the nukes we had, they replace ones for a particular use. Nukes were never going to be deployed as bunker busters which is why we had bunker busters to begin with. A 5000lbs., charge is going to be much easier to target than a rather large nuclear device. It's sort of like the difference between a truck load of dynamite and a shaped charge. They're for different things.
Not entirely, when the iPhone came out for AT&T and became quite popular the data use dramatically increased in a short period of time. Combined with AT&T's network engineering incompetence and bad things happened. Around here despite being more or less smack dab between antennae I still have to climb a hill if I want a decent signal because AT&T didn't really cope with the hills when planning cell tower sites.
The problem is that those countries need to be growing their own food. It would probably work if countries where starvation was common they'd be producing other things, but those countries are usually lacking in all around production capability.
There may be patentable elements to doing it in real time over the internet, but simply adding "through the internet" to an application isn't going to magically make it a new invention. At very least it's overly broad and encompasses what ought to be a couple dozen smaller patents.
Also, nice straw man you've got there. Unfortunately, I've patented using straw man arguments on the internet, so pay up.
Precisesly. The reason why AMD was able to succeed with its architecture over Intel was that Intel's 64bit architecture at that time required all the software to be specially compiled to run on Merced. Whereas AMD64 was backwards compatible and could allow people to buy the chip and update to 64bit when needed or to just run some applications in 32bit mode.
In this case I have no idea why anybody other than Intel would think this would be a good idea as the reason why Intel was using an ARM based XScale processor previously was that the x86 isn't suitable for this application.
Intel's stuff is generally good, but it's expensive and I don't personally think we need to allow a foothold for the same sort of anti-competitive behavior that Intel is known for in the desktop/laptop processor market.
You're an idiot. Of course MS isn't growing, it's a monopoly covering one area and has a serious difficulty in cracking other markets without a DoJ investigation.
The way that you make it sound there's limitless growth potential. Apple got really lucky in that the DoJ has been turning a blind eye to its antitrust violations, same goes for Google.
I'm not really sure why this is news, it's been known for many years that speed readers were recognizing words visually without having to sound them out.
As for your reading, that's precisely the problem that speed readers have, they might be taking it in quickly, but they aren't necessarily going to retain any of it. I personally make a point of mentally vocalizing the words so that I retain most of the materia.
That's to be expected. That's how it's worked out in the US for the last couple hundred years. There are abuses by both the states and the federal government, but when you take a look at it by and large the states have been where the most egregious violations of human rights have occurred. And typically the people crying out for states' rights are usually complaining about being told that they can't abuse their fellow citizens or allow corporations to run amok.
The Federal government does have issues in those arenas but not anywhere near as bad and they'd mostly go away if the small states were made to give up their undo influence on the legislature.
That's precisely what I did. I'm probably going to be moving overseas next year and I'll be flying out of Vancouver rather than the US so that I don't have to be molested as a precondition to boarding my plane.
And yet that's how it worked out in the US. The EU might not be the US, but they certainly are doing their level best to be us. Right now they're still fighting for the rights of the population, but how long does it last before people forget why those protections were in place and get sufficiently scared to vote for politicians promising safety?
Not if they lock it to approved apps and court martial anybody that's caught sideloading. I'm guessing the bigger problem is going to be the apps that are approved themselves.
Vegans don't eat whey or any other animal based protein. The closest thing to animal based protein would be something like tempeh, which uses bacteria to predigest tofu.
It's more challenging to get protein as a vegetarian or a vegan, but there are plenty of available options provided that one is willing to watch what one eats and ensure an adequate variety to cover the ones we can't synthesize ourselves.

If you're referring to Israel, they aren't our friend. Israel is a bit like a therapist, they care about us as long as we're giving them money.

It still works that way if by "them" you mean "the CEO" and by "more money" you mean "a buttload of tax free money."

If you've ever read any code, I think the answer to that is obvious.
You're not going to speed read any of those things as the retention period is about 20 minutes tops.

Wow, really, so I'm antisemitic for pointing out that H.264 isn't free and that effectively excludes a lot of projects from being able to use it.
WebM is free, H.264 costs money on both the encoding and decoding end. Standards should never require payment to use.
I'm pretty sure there's an app for that.
Yeah, because Netcraft is renowned for its accuracy of confirmation...
I'm guessing that Notch finally got around to some new hires. Unfortunately they used to work on Firefox...

Good point, the summary said iOS so I was thinking iPhone.
GPS containing units had better be able to do that or they'd never get your location down to something reasonable.
