digital TV broadcasts don't need the full 6MHz of broadcast spectrum that was used for analog TV.

Which is why the signal is worse than analog. Clipping, blocky shadows, dropped signals.

The only time digital has been better was the move to DVD from VHS/Beta and CDs from tape. 78s and 45s are still better than digital.

Maybe the manufacturers of formula can use this as a marketing angle.

If the majority of people would vote (at the ballot and with their wallets) for their own rational self-interests once in a while, and not what the silver-tongued TV sound bite sold to them, this would happen much more often. My cynical side tells me that few will ever appreciate the value of abstract principles in and of themselves, but the self-interest angle should be at least achievable.

Clearly this particular Puritannical (shallow, phoney) "moral" crusade must prevail. We must make certain that small children NEVER see a woman's nipple!

Perhaps the space stations (in the universe of the movie) were orbited that way to facilitate resupply of all 3 with one launch.

Removing the human from the loop in aircraft automation has been a source of unending problems

Commercial aviation is now safer than it ever was in the past.

Fully autonomous driving is doable IF it is only along routes that have been verified and to some extent instrumented. I predict we'll see a few Approved Routes initially, such as stretches of Interstate. Fairly soon, the approved routes will account for the majority of vehicle miles driven. Then there will be a long tail of routes and conditions that won't be automated anytime soon. Basically, just like cellphone coverage.

Or he's taking personal responsibility and accepting whatever awaits him because he knew what he did was wrong.

Unlike the guy who deliberately put his equipment in someone else's closet, attempted to hide that equipment, then whined when he was caught and tried to claim he was the victim before he killed himself.

Intel doesn't have enough 14 nm production to flood the world market for no-name Chinese tablets anyways. This is the latest and greatest, not the bargain basement.

"It's extremely difficult to 'improve' on the lethality of nature.

So the cross between ebola and the common cold, which was a terrible, terrible thing, wasn't an improvement on lethality?

because heart rate and GPS as apps aren't that convincing IMHO.

That's Garmin's entire wearables business, and they've been in it for years. And they aren't $100 bucks, they're more like $450.

What about the tons of dust and debris that fall to Earth every single day? What about the heat this planet radiates out, the loss of gases that occur naturally?

We do not have a closed system. Period. You can be ignorant and attempt to argue it all you want, but you will always be wrong.

Always.

Because people who smoke weed never rob anyone to get money or drive around stoned out of their gourd and wreck into people.

Perhaps the drive can still run on air, albeit with more power consumption. In googling it, the advertised benefit is reduced turbulence and drag.

Anyways, the hard drive is rigid (unlike a balloon) so for helium to escape, something must leak in or pressure will drop. I can't imagine all the helium would leak out creating a total vacuum.

Better answer: just buy a phone with an SD slot. I do. Lots of people do.

In my case it's to carry my music collection, not make long videos, but same principle. Apple, and everybody else who does not include one, is just being greedy.

Actually it does matter. The Garmin watches (which also require daily charging) have page after page of complaints of problems charging, because the contact pins get dirty and corroded with sweat and grime. I have taken to keeping a piece of tape over the charging pins on mine, real classy. Apple's method sounds like a big upgrade to me.
