Yes, I think he can say the same. This was a roadkill cat. It would have just rotted away otherwise. At least the pelt is now used as "art" (their description, not mine) as opposed to just rotting meat and fur.
The radio show RadioLab had an episode that talked a little bit about this. It's not a new problem but the results are just as hilarious.

AP Headline: "Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympic Trials.
Tyson Homosexual easily won his semi-final for the 100 meters...
1990 Fresno Bee Article: New taxes that will help put Massachusetts "back into the African-American"
Chicago Tribune Obituary for Walter Cronkite refers to "Walter Leland Mr. Cronkite Jr." and his show "Walter Mr. Cronkite's Twentieth Century..."
Here in Ann Arbor, the city has allowed local artists to adopt and paint these types of boxes as well as fire hydrants. It's actually pretty neat. It doesn't quite make them disappear into the background but they're not quite the eyesore anymore.
100 teachers, each training another 100, who in turn train another 100. Perspicacity is obviously not your strong point. But I guess if you can't do anything else, at least you can bitch.
So I tried logging in by clicking on the "Windows Live" option. A pop-up window appears listing the access and permissions that Socl will need. Makes me leery so I click "NO".
Nothing like being stuck outside, hopefully far away from any sort of electrical devices, alone with nothing but your mind and dappled sunlight through the trees to keep you company.
I guess along the same line, if I'm ever stuck on a hard problem, I either go for a long bike ride or a long steady run; something that's not so hard that I have to focus on form. Some of my best problem solving has been done while on a contemplative ride or run, by myself, in the middle of nowhere.
I don't know if it's the release of endorphins or the tranquility that the setting provides, or the isolation from distractions such as phones and email (and yes, people) that does the trick but if I'm struggling on something, I grad the bike or running shoes and head out the door.
Plus it allows me to eat a little more for dinner.:)
No doubt, but your phone has the luxury of a comparatively large battery. The GPS (I'm guessing) will use the same amount of energy on both devices, but the battery capacity in the Motoactv is much smaller. Throw in WiFi, Bluetooth and ANT wireless and frankly, I'm surprised it's even 5 hours.
Yeah, I know. But I'm guessing that's with GPS fully active and recording your workout. Otherwise, if you're just using it as a watch and maybe an MP3 player, i can't see why it won't last a week (if you believe that 2-week standby figure).
I guess all those options and features take their toll on the battery. I'd expect the next generation will improve on the batter use quite a bit
I am really disappointed that there was no anti-google rant in your post. But back on topic...
Try to motoactive watch. GPS, music, radio, android- based, records your workouts, syncs with your android phone to receive texts and messages. And touch screen. What more could a geek want?
The U of Michigan used to have a "naked mile" at the end of each school year. I seem to recall it was mostly the Crew team that started it but everyone was welcome to join in on the run. It was fun to watch and used to have a huge crowd turnout, but the school and city shut it down for some reason - liability? exploitation? I dunno, this sounds a lot more fun than a scavenger hunt.
But being that the school year ends at the end of April and Michigan's been known to have April snow showers, sometimes the turnout is on the smaller side. [mostly SFW]
I'm with Jeng on this one. I'm not sure your definition of "search" applies here. See this article for a better description. Note that it specifically addresses monitoring from the air
Time and time again, the courts have ruled that if it's visible from a public (air)space, then you have no reasonable expectation of privacy, including from the air.
So while I'd rather not have the situation in TFA, I'm having a hard time seeing what the problem is.
No, I don't doubt that it's not really a concern for Nevada. As another responder pointed out, these tiny offices use little resources so it's not really any loss for Nevada. I was just really curious about what you thought the indirect benefits were.
And, those states that choose not to tax Microsoft, Apple, and others reap indirect benefits from having big business conducted in their state.
And what are these "indirect" benefits? From TFA -
The company decided to open a small Reno, Nevada office to dodge the tax completely.
And from the Apple article a few days back -
Yet, with a handful of employees in a small office here in Reno, Apple has done something central to its corporate strategy: it has avoided millions of dollars in taxes in California and 20 other states
So it's not job creation - there are only a handful of employees in each office. There's no taxes to collect from the corp. and a relatively small amount from income tax from the employees. It looks like MS and Apple are just using Nevada and really giving little back.
Don't know about you, but I can't forget the numerous stories of terrorist strapping explosives to women and sending them out to be blown up.
There have been women suicide bombers, but you're implying that these women had no agency in the bombing. Please cite an incident that shows otherwise.
But the obvious solution in this case is to have the child go through the scanners again. Why the pat down? Either the scanners are good enough to detect anything that could have been passed from an unscreened passenger to a screened passenger, or they're not. Unless they are implicitly acknowledging that latter...
The yield must depend on moisture. Is this going to be useful in the Sahara or just outside of Las Vegas?
From TFA:
A prototype unit was constructed and erected in Abu Dhabi 6 months ago and has consistently produced up to 800 liters of water a day.
But since that could mean in the middle of the desert or on the coast, your point still stands.
However, I wonder, if it has access to salt water, why not adapt it to use ocean water instead of the humidity from the air? Is it a problem of what to do with the salt and other minerals?
Two things - if everything were the same quality, then even the cheapest Acer or Asus laptop would be the top sellers. Or hell, HP computers for that matter - they'd all last forever.
I guess it depends on your definition of quality. Consumer Reports surveyed their reads about laptop reliability a few issues back and the results surprised me. Macs did fair better in that they had fewer problems. But the gap was 1% point between Macs and almost all other laptop makers. I did some googling but couldn't find this year's results but this article citing CR actually lists Apple as worse than Asus or Toshiba by 2% for 2011.
Going off the top of my head, I seem to remember the respondents were > 30K in number. And I didn't read more into how they defined "problems" but there you go.
And to match your anecdote with mine, I handed down my 8 y.o. Compaq laptop to my parents and they're still using it daily to surf the web and do email

It's good to know that you're personally familiar with that kind of information.
Do you think the artist can say the same?
Yes, I think he can say the same. This was a roadkill cat. It would have just rotted away otherwise. At least the pelt is now used as "art" (their description, not mine) as opposed to just rotting meat and fur.
Lord help me, as much as I love my kitty, even I had to LOL at this.
I think it's the expression on the helicat's face more than anything else.

Seriously, which summer intern wrote this site?

I agree, it's totally lame. But to geek-ify it a little, try to do something like this: Portal-style videoconference.
And then slave this to the webcam, under the control of the grandparents for "corrective" actions.
Sorry, you're completely right. How DID I miss that? : )

Go figure, there's not a whitelist option.
That sounds like a good idea for a FB app!

This isn't exactly a map, but it does show how twisted this all is. It's a few months out of date so needs to be updated, but still...
