Taking a copyrighted work who's copyright is about to expire, and republishing on a newer format such as VHS or DVD, does not renew the copyright.
You don't have to use the original source if the copyright is expired and the new source is identical to the original. However, if the newer version has been altered (cgi added or something) then the added CGI would have a new copyright term, separate from the original copyright (but would only cover the modifications, not the original content)
The problem of low refresh rate gets even worse as the FOV gets wider. Human peripheral vision, while being far less detailed, is far MORE sensitive to movement and brightness, meaning that we can see screen flicker near the edges that we can't see directly in front of our eyes.
This is one of the reasons stopping Oculus from making a wider FOV headset. Widening FOV is easy, keeping people from getting sick is hard.
Carriers would never allow P2P cell mesh networks. If you can use P2P during an emergency, someone will find a way to use it all the time, and bypass the carriers completely.
There is no additional drain unless you are actively using the FM receiver.
Also, your phone people already has the chip, it's just disabled.
This isn't about mandating an FM chip in every cellphone, it's about mandating that the existing FM chips not be disabled (which only happens in the US versions)
What's a real scenario where one-way FM radio on a cell-phone would be a real life-line for anyone but the completely ignorant and inexperienced?
A tornado pops up, everyone hears the siren and goes into the basement, then the tornado starts knocking down power lines and causing fires, which burn the town to the ground with all the people still inside.
It's not about ANNOUNCING the disaster, that's what sirens are for.
AFTER the sirens have gone off, and AFTER everyone is hiding in fear, wouldn't it be nice if they knew WHY they were hiding?
They can't call or text anyone to find out, since the towers will be overloaded.
Now, they could use the FM radio that is ALREADY BUILT INTO their phone, unfortunately the US carrier they bought it from specifically demanded that the FM radio be disabled.
A specific example of where this would save lives: A tornado pops up, the sirens go off, and everyone heads to the basement. Meanwhile the high winds have knocked down power lines everywhere, and started fires everywhere. The town is quickly burning to the ground (with people still in their basements), and nobody knows because they can't hear the local radio station talking about the fires.
How do you explain phones that have identical international and US versions, and only the US version has the FM disabled?
The (international) HTC Desire Z had an FM radio, and came with an FM tuner app to access it. (using the headphones as the antenna) The identical US version, the T-Mobile G2, also had an FM radio but it was disabled in software. (to fix it, you just had to install the stock FM tuner app)
I can only assume that T-mobile demanded that the FM radio be disabled, in order to get people to use up all their data listening to streaming music.
While we are at it, lets teach them chemistry, horticulture, and forensics too.
That way, they will have the skills to become professional criminals when they get out, instead of the amateur criminals they were when they got caught originally.
You are right, the phone should just wake up and launch the default payment app automatically when it is near the payment pad
I don't see why they haven't implemented this. I know it's definitely possible and not terribly hard, since there are already apps on the play store that can wake and unlock the phone on contact with an RFID card.
As other commenters have noticed, the map looks like a light map, a little TOO much like a light map. At first I thought they actually HAD used a light map, just for the sake of illustration, but it clearly shows a legend in decibels.
You will notice a few small but very bright dots in North Dakota. These are not cities, they are oil fields. They aren't nearly as loud as a city of comparable light output, yet they still show up as bright spots on the audio map.
I'm sure there are inconsistencies in other locations where the light and sound values should be different, but appear the same on both maps.
Speaking over the sound of your own delayed voice is a similar principle.
For most people, having their own words fed back into their ears with a specific delay causes them to be unable to keep speaking (they start stuttering really bad). However, people who are accustomed to speaking in public (through a PA system) don't suffer from this, because their brain learns to ignore the sound of their own voice.
"DJI’s new Phantom drones will ship with the update installed, and owners of older devices will have to download it in order to receive future updates. The no-fly zone over the capital will extend for a 15.5-mile radius."
Somewhere in the world, there is a hacker crying into his keyboard right now, because MS finally found the hole he's been exploiting for the last 10 years.
You are right, studies can mean whatever you want them to mean, but that doesn't mean this idea isn't on the right path at least.
The basis is 2 main ideas that don't have anything to do with studies, and that really aren't in any dispute:
1. The human mind is drastically affected by the mix of chemicals inside the body 2. Permanently changing the balance of the majority of the bacteria in the body (and thus the balance of waste byproducts), will change the mix of chemicals inside the body.
It doesn't really matter WHAT causes the bacteria mix to change, but we now know that messing with it can have some serious long-term side effects, and some of those side effects could explain very common "epidemics" such as obesity, autism, food allergies, and the impending zombie apocalypse.
There have been studies showing a link between heavy antibiotic use in children under the age of 3 and regressive autism, caused by a commonly occurring antibacterial-resistant bacteria (Clostridia) proliferating in the absence of competition, which produces a neurotoxin as a waste byproduct (Propionic Acid)
This is why I find the anti-vaxxers so ironic. They ALMOST figured it out, but started blaming vaccines instead of antibiotics.
2) 1 ATM = about 14.7 PSI at STP. Where was it the patriots were playing?
3) 1 ATM = about 14.7 PSI at STP. These balls were inflated to 27.2 PSI with a properly calibrated pressure gauge, otherwise the quarterbacks are grappling flopping pigskins.
For clarity in the future, you should use the suffix "psia" when you are talking about absolute pressure. (1 ATM at STP is both 14.7 psia, and 0 psi, since they are different scales)
A lot of the updates in Europe were caused by government regulations. Especially with credit cards.
Europe isn't as anti-regulation as the US is. Powerful people everywhere fight these regulations because the regulations will will cost them money, but in the US, they have a strong backing from people who are just opposed to government regulation in general (Tea-party, libertarians, lees-moderate republicans).
Slow internet, high healthcare costs, and insecure credit cards are the price the US pays for being a country founded on the idea of throwing off the yoke of government.

They are probably using off-the-shelf panels, and it's cheaper to do 210 instead of 190.

This was in 2010, long before Music Freedom
This was back in 2011, before they started any of the unlimited data stuff.

Most cell phones turn off the internal speaker when there is anything plugged into the headphone jack....

I think the psychological reassurance of just knowing what's going on during a disaster is probably the most helpful part.
Even if you can't DO anything about it, it's still better than cowering in fear because you are in the dark both literally and figuratively.

Minecraft also has a no-monster mode (don't remember what it's called).
He was a top-secret prototype of a new type of replicant that could live much longer.

Third, what does the drone do if it's heading towards a no-fly zone? Turn around? What if it can't avoid entering a no-fly zone?
That's easy, you make each no-fly zone 30 miles wide.

What about a wireless pressure monitor like they they use in newer car tires?
