We are going to eventually have actual quantum computers, and when we do they will be awesome. Right now, it isn't clear that D-Wave's system can be reasonably called a quantum computer, and is even more clear that they aren't useful at all.
I propose we stop all research, commercial and academic, into quantum-computing, until such a time that we have actual, awesome quantum computers:p
Sending even 100 people is pointless unless it's been proven that a handful of people can survive there..
Sending a handful of people, and 1 of them passes away due to whatever, you've lost 20% of your workforce, and significant skills, which is likely to destroy the sustainability of your colony.
If your equipment is found to be part of a DDoS attack, taking you offline removes teh DDoS, and you get the necessary incentive to fix your security. Once word gets around that having brand X VoIP/Camera/IPTV/Printer device causes you to lose internet access, people stop buying them, and at this point the manufacturer is incentiviced to fix their shit.
My (limited) understanding is that material on the moon tends to more "mixed" and less layered (also, see above comment about stratification), making mining less efficient. Also, if you're in space, things like palladium group metals might be "easier" to get from metallic asteroids?
"The downside to hydropower is that it requires consistent rainfall.
Purely brain-farting here, but since they have more than just hydropower (it mentions geothermal, and uses words like "mostly), could there be times where other excess sources allow them to pump water back into the reservoirs, thus negating the need for consistent rainfall, and allow better utilization of multiple green energy sources?
Just checking - is it more than 25 years since Ireland willingly joined the EEC in 1973, and willingly agreed to abide by the rules for the common market?
Well, from this, that future Intel and AMD CPUs require Window 10 (odd direction of requirement), I guess we can safely rule out either for future Apple computers...
And Apple, having had access to the relevant papers, would full-well know that special tax-agreements like these have been illegal inside the Common Market, and before that in the EEC, for decades. They aren't innocent bystanders here, there's not really a basis for declaring themselves ignorant of facts.
But why is this not Ireland's fault? Why are they not forced to collect what is supposedly owed?
huh? Ireland are the only ones being "forced" anything here - They are being told to remedy a 13-year long state-aid given to Apple in the form of excessively low tax.

Meanwhile, they have a teenage pregnancy rate that's almost 1/3 of the US'
Just saying, it does seem to have an effect.
If it only has your files, look left side where it says something like "17/19 GB used" ?
Install Google Drive desktop app, wait for it to sync, let your OS tell you how big a given folder is - simples!

Have ISPs take them offline.

I think Google tried this - the issue was the subsequent mental-health changes in those employees.

I'd observe smelting could be done using electricity - giant solar panels (but...no water to wash them regularly)!

After all, Moon is made basically of the same material that the Earth was formed with.
Slightly more precise, the Moon is made out of Earth's crust, so primarily consists of the lighter materials.
It's been a while, but binge-drinking usually improved my quality of life ...

Just ladle out some lava into your form, let it cool, and BAM - natural stone buildings!
Auch - mental image of workers who "ladle out some lava" ...
And Apple has sold roughly a billion phones. Are you saying that there are that many fanbois out there?
Just a math thing ... did _no-one_ buy more than 1 iPhone? As in, are there 1 billion iPhone owners out there?
huh? Nougat* melts in your pocket? How hot does your pocket get?!?

Wireless in-ears have connection issues if, eg, your phone is on the other side of you, compared to the receiving ear-piece.
I don't follow European news, but I doubt that very much.
I DO follow European news, and that was pretty much what the EU/EC/EP leadership has said: Activate Art.50, get out, and THEN we'll talk.

So, that's Ireland's fault, not Apple's.

But until Apple provides concrete evidence
Guilty until proven innocent.
The EC found that the special agreement between Ireland and Apple was illegal - the guilty part is basically proven.
This may be true.
But why is this not Ireland's fault? Why are they not forced to collect what is supposedly owed?

Does it have 2 screens, or is the keyboard just a large touch-pad with light-up etchings of a static keyboard?
