When we hear a sound and can tell what direction it comes from, the volume in one ear compared to the other usually helps only a little. Direction is determined more from which each the sound reaches first. There can be up to 0.7 ms of difference in time. So any sync issue that's anywhere near 0.7 ms will make it so the sound sounds like it's constantly coming from one direction, even if the volunteers are the same.
Is analyzing 90.7% of the year enough to establish most talked about in 2016 facts? What if a more iconic person dies tomorrow? There's still 23 days to talk about that.
Yeah, the theory of cognitive dissonance is where people rationalize their choice in order to avoid buyer's remorse. This isn't my field, buy it may be that the phenomenon is stronger when more expensive or more socially valuable or more powerful items are chosen. There was an upheaval in the theory in 2007 when researchers used monkeys choosing m&m's, and a mathematician saw that and said the experiment was invalid because they feel victim to the Monty Hall Problem. I think later experiments avoiding Monty Hall got new, valid evidence for the theory.
Sounds like a violation of the Maine implied warranty law. I don't know what the state can do to Apple, but there is an Apple store in the state's largest mall.
The Maine Implied Warranty is the little known law that protects Maine consumers from being sold seriously defective items. It can be an Unfair Trade Practice to refuse to honor the Maine Implied Warranty Law within four years of sale. The basic test for possible implied warranty violations is as follows: The item is seriously defective, The consumer did not damage the item, The item is still within its useful life and is not simply worn out.

The article made no mention on whether the homeowner checked the Waze Map Editor to make sure his and the surrounding roads were marked correctly. For example, a road marked as a Primary Street type will be favored by the algorithms over a road marked as a Street type. If the information is wrong, then fix it yourself, and change the routes of thousands of people. This is the correct way to combat inappropriate Waze routes: Make sure Waze's map data match the quality and capacity of the carefully laid out roadways. If the roadway capacities are not laid out well, then your problem is not Waze.
Most people in my area referred to the XP default theme as the "Fisher-Price Theme."
In Windows 8, when there is a CD in your drive, the associated message says something like "Tap here to eject CD." It said "tap," even when you didn't have a touch screen. That is when I knew Windows 8 was designed for touch screens first.
Ugh, sorry about formatting. Here, I think this is right:
"A virtual CPU is whatever Amazon wants to offer in an instance series."
No. The vCPU (Virtual CPU) aspect of an AWS EC2 Instance is the county of virtual cores that are exposed to an OS. In desktop computers, a quad core Intel CPU will appear to have four courses when looked at from inside the OS (my go-to way to count them in Linux is to run top and press 1). A quad core hyperthreaded Intel CPU will appear to have 8 cores. The vCPU metric simply tells you what the OS will show you, and tells you how many processor threads can run concurrently.
"If you deal with server sizing and instance price comparison, then the measure -- previously expressed as an EC2 Compute Unit or ECU -- is kaput."... "It's the closest thing you'll find to an acknowledgement that ECUs are still in use behind the scenes, but Amazon no longer wishes to define them due to the changing nature of its underlying hardware."
Yes, ECU (Elastic Compute Unit) metrics are still used behind the scenes, but Amazon does publish them. Even for new Instances. Check out these URL's: http://a0.awsstatic.com/pricin... http://a0.awsstatic.com/pricin...
Of course, this isn't very parsable by human eyes. So someone started an open source project to display this data, and its available at http://www.ec2instances.info/

"An agreement is yet to be signed." is in the OP's link and that gives us an idea that in the future there MAY be an agreement.
That article is from June 23, 2011. A final agreement called the Momorandum of Understanding (PDF) was written on July 6, 2011. It's an agreement between MPAA, RIAA, AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Cablevision, and Time Warner Cable. I don't know if it was actually signed on the lines, and I haven't heard of anyone leaving or entering the agreement.
Possibly. To add to your anecdote, a couple months ago my old Yahoo! account got cracked, and I figured it was because I had left a weak password on there (fairly susceptible to a dictionary attack with some variance). So I changed to a stronger password and enabled two factor authentication. Then last week my coworker also got cracked, and she reported that she had a weak password.
Maybe someone got a copy of a Yahoo! hashed password and user name table that they can work against with a computer cluster, or maybe Yahoo! is allowing tons of fast authentication attempts against single user names on their servers.
My company uses Amazon Web Services to host some of our product, and I got a call at 7 am to help bring our stuff back up. A bunch of our instances were stopped, and a bunch of Elastic Block Store volumes were marked Impaired. We're working on making our environment more "cloudy" to make better use of multiple availability zones, regions, and automation to better survive an outage like this, but we're not there yet.
I ran a quick strings and grep on all the files, hoping to get some juicy comments from source code, but I didn't get much:

ESM 2.0 8-23-04/SampleData/DatasetSmall/Voter.mdb: !!!! Does not check if a Vote Has Been recorded. Only checks status information !!!! (Should this change?)
ESM 2.0 8-23-04/SampleData/DatasetComplete/Voter.mdb: RJD080299 Fixed stupid bug that counted down to 0...
..., and it could possibly bring down subscription rates for high speed internet,...
Yeah, I don't see that statement as being true. Large web companies will only provide their on-site servers to large ISPs. The large ISPs have no reason to or history of reducing their subscription rates. If the servers were provided to smaller ISPs (such as GWI), then they could lower their rates and become more competitive. Maybe if the servers were provided to tier 2 peering networks, they could pass on the savings to small ISPs? I don't know enough about tiers or peering to know if that's a possibility.
The statement "basically most posts in the study did not garner any response," made by TFA's author, is based on these metrics:
An average of 0.77 "+1s" per post
An average of 0.54 replies per post
An average of 0.17 re-shares per post
Her conclusion does not necessarily follow from the data. If all +1s, replies, and re-shares were under 0.5, then it would. But they aren't, so it doesn't.
How do the universities know which individual graduates are behind or defaulted on their loans? Is it only certain loan types? Are the loan agencies breaking any laws by sharing the graduates' personal financial information with universities? I RTFAs, and I got no answers.
