We all win with at least a single computer maker stopping the insane practice of selling their customers instead of selling TO their customers.
That's one thing you can already say about Apple's computers - no bloatware.
I wouldn't be complaining if that was the case, would I?
There are 4+ time zones in the US alone (*). Bounce around those a couple of times and you'll wonder why you thought DST was such a big deal.
* Depending on whether you count Puerto Rico, Guam or other US locations in addition to the 50 states.
Let's fix it on Earth fist, and stop fucking with our circadian cycles twice a year!
I take it you never leave the safety of the single time-zone in your mom's basement?
you mean "speed up" mars rotation
Speed up, slow down. Whatever. If I'm writing biorhythm programs for a mobile device, do you really think I car along as I get the ad revenue
I'm going to have to re-release my biorhythms app just because of their stupid 40 minute extra long days.
Why can't they just slow Mars' rotation down to to 24 hours????
No word on whether the thing was ever powered up, or is simply a neat toy.
From the gizmodo link:
According to Wu, the next step will be to fine-tune the finish of the components, with testing of a 3D-printed engine expected to take place within a couple of years.
So what the have produced right now could be considered a static display model, but their aim is produce a working engine.
If you’re on Mars, or at least work by a Mars clock, you have to figure out how to put up with the exhausting challenge of those extra 40 minutes. To be exact, the Martian day is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35 seconds long, a length of day that doesn’t coincide with the human body’s natural rhythms. Scientists, Mars rover drivers, and everyone else in the space community call the Martian day a “sol” to differentiate it from an Earth day. While it doesn’t seem like a big difference, that extra time adds up pretty quickly. It’s like heading west by two time zones every three days. Call it “rocket lag.”
Instead of using a multi million dollar Predator drone to scan the border, perhaps they should be using something smaller and cheaper like an office drone
I hear that office drones basically do anything for money as long as they can play candy crush or angry birds
How do you self-mummified???
It starts by reading the TFA.
After which you'll wish that you didn't read the TFA.
Certainly not something for those who are even the slightest bit claustrophobic to attempt.
It is called Russian Roulette . ( i.e. exploding kitten brains ) It was a favourite pastime in USSR and had to be kick - started in a bar.
But it kinda lost its appeal when people moved from using revolvers to playing it with a semi-automatic pistol with a single bullet in the magazine.
Why didn't they land a bit closer? Seems Americans' awesome knowledge of geography isn't a new phenomenon.
Because if you read First Barbary War you learn that the expeditionary force consisted of 8 Marines and 500 local mercenaries. Given that the US navy was only about 7 years old at the time, I doubt that they had the ships available to transport all those people.
Islamic history that they don't teach at Harvard:
When American colonists rebelled against British rule in 1776, American merchant ships lost British Royal Navy protection. With no American Navy for protection, American ships were attacked and their Christian crews enslaved by Muslim pirates operating under the control of the "Dey of Algiers"--an Islamist warlord ruling Algeria. . . . In 1805, American Marines marched across the desert from Egypt into Tripolitania, forcing the surrender of Tripoli and the freeing of all American slaves
I know I'll probably be moderated into the dark depths for being a troll, but there is a certain irony in this history.
I wonder if a similar thing could be made with a Koran-burning machine. The machine is configured so that every time the internet has a new message from Islamicists, the machine automatically dips a Koran in pig blood, burns it, posts the video on YouTube, and sends a Tweet giving credit to the Islamicists who triggered that action.
So your solution to extremists boasting about what they dream they could do, is to do something tangible that will piss off said extremists and give them grounds to point the finger at the west and say "See, they are a bunch of infidels that deserve what they get!". Which will do no less more than to push more people into extremism.
Have you ever heard of a positive feedback loop? Because that is what you are suggesting for "solving" the problem of terrorists.
Its been proven time and time again that red light cameras do more harm than good. how can anyone still support such bad use of tech???
OK
So what is your alternate solution?
that nasty pieve of Chinese spyware a/k/a Superfish.
If anything, the technology behind Superfish is Israeli
Money is the root of all evil, and man needs roots.
