If you're in Europe, get a FairPhone...
Clean Android, and they are serious about long term support of their phones.
If you're not in Europe, see if you can get a FairPhone any way

The type of project this malware targets uses the Netbeans build system. You need those file to be able to build the project in the first place, so they have to be in the repository. This is comparable to infecting the pom.xml of a Maven project, or the gradle build files.
That said, this could be made to work just fine on Gradle, since Gradle build scripts are also executed scripts. Making this work for Maven projects is probably a lot harder, since the pom.xml of Maven is not a script. For Maven the malware would have to use a Maven plug-in to do its thing.
It also only works on projects that use the Netbeans specific build system, not on Maven or Gradle projects. That rules out most java projects. So I doubt it infects projects using C, C++, PHP or any of the other languages supported by Netbeans.
If you always want the latest and greatest, then why are you complaining about the support not being long enough? You'll be buying a new phone every other year any way.
Personally, I'd shell out quite a bit of extra dough on a phone if I knew I could count of having repair options for longer than the warranty gives me.
Get a FairPhone. They sell replacement parts right on their website: https://www.fairphone.com/en/
It's been in its box in the cellar for years, since we didn't use it.
Yay, someone actually does the numbers! Thanks!
How large (in area) is such a supercharger station in general? Would it be feasible to put the panels above the station? That would also give some nice shade for the charging cars below the panels.
In your study, did you take into account that for petrol cars ALL filling up happens at petrol stations, but for EVs most filling up happens at home? In other words, you have to remove all petrol filling used for daily commutes from the numbers, and only count he petrol filling used for long-distance driving.
This will also drastically change that pattern where the distribution is lumped in a set of a few hours before and after work, since those people will just charge their EV at home or at work, not at a station.
So here we are - fatefully moving towards Brexit, as if it was just unavoidable now; a very British kind of fatalism, I think. The truth is, of course, that we can halt this process at any time; we may have to eat humble pie and come back hat in hand, but of course we can.
You can't halt the Brexit, afaik.
Once article 50 is invoked there is no way back. Brexit will happen, two years after the invocation. Deal or no deal. And any deal will have to be approved by all EU member states, so it's quite possible it'll be no deal.
The UK could negotiate about an immediate re-entry, but the conditions required for that by the EU are not going to be pretty...
Yes! Lets change all editors to add a feature so that people can change a setting to make indentations show in the size they want, instead of just using the feature any decent editor already has that allows people to show indentations in the size they want.
If you're changing all editors you should just implement Elastic Tabstops (http://www.nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/), since that's the best way to indent code.
Using PCR to make copies is not self replication. You still need to add all the machinery, including the DNA Polymerase protein, to do the replication.
To make this self replicating you'd have to add the sequences to a bacteria like E-Coli, and somehow ensure that the cell doesn't just kick the useless (for it) DNA out again.
Run windows in a VM, for those times you need those couple of programs that only have windows versions.
That way you can even make snapshots of the VM state in case something gets messed up.
And what if the creature did develop higher brain functions? Pigs are already pretty smart, what if one of these test subjects scratches "No kill I" in the dirt?
Then that one doesn't get killed, and the procedure for treating the human cells is improved so it doesn't happen again.
And that specimen is studied intensively of course... In an environment of its choosing so it is as happy as it can be.
It could be used to signal the intentions of the car to those around the car. The projected pedestrian crossing signals to the pedestrian that the car is intending to stop, so it is safe to cross. The projected turn sign indicates that the car intends to turn right at that turn, and not the (sometimes very close by) earlier or later ones.
Of course this only really works for autonomous cars, since as long as there is a human at the wheel the car won't know what the human is going to do.
Instead of stealing it they'll just copy it.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
