Is that a sarcasm ? Of course guys are not weird, however the Y chromosome is certainly an oddball compared to the other chromosomes of the genome. It has the lowest number of protein-coding genes, is seriously mismatched with its pair, almost does not recombine, has lost over 90 percent of its genome during the course of evolution, and yet has very strong effects on organism development. There is no judgment of value here.

There are so many reasons for which I could imagine asking Apple for a monetary compensation : stopping supporting older models of my devices with updates and security patches, issuing a keyboard which is prone to non-responsive keys as soon as some dirt enters the device, botchering the soldering of the BGA package of the audio chip⦠but throttling the CPU to ensure a longer battery life on aging batteries is not necessarily on this list - especially when those mobile CPUs are always more or less throttled in order to manage thermal dissipation issues.

If you want to be didactic, you might want to learn about Hamming code, which is what most ECC memory systems use, as it will well suited to random errors. To go further you might want to read about Reed Solomon codes, a different set of error correction codes which are better suited to correction of burst of errors and is therefore often used for disc error correction.

Which places impose rules on male/female names ? I mean outside of the religiously radical places ?

Yes, of course this only works with carry-on. Nobody does that trick with checked luggage, otherwise they would lose their luggage.

I think you did not get the point of GP. His point was that the weak point of USB-C was not the socket, it was the soldered connection between the socket and the board. There is no "spec" about that, aside from the internal qualification of the assembled board manufacturer.

I think you should be interested by the battery recycling statistics in Europe. 90% of them definitely do not go into landfills.

This is why space hardware is screened against infant mortality. Almost no part could be considered as brand new, even on a new rocket.

Yes indeed, it may be confidential information but it really seems to strengthen their caseâ¦
And while no one likes to have detailed financial information exposed in public, it is not as if it was going to hurt them significantly in the long run. Now if the source code of Horizon or The Last of Us had been leaked, it would be another storyâ¦

Yes, but considering that the typical SnPb alloy for soldering is 63% Sn / 37% Pb, it can be as well considered as banned. Such alloys are still used in high-reliability military and space equipments, for which there is an exemption.

This is terrible. Slashdot has hit a new low.

This is clearly the best comment of this story. Where are my mod points when I need them ?

The thing is that the New Horizon did not have to decelerate near Pluto as it did not enter its orbit but flew past it with all of its science instruments recording. Energy-wise, this makes a lot of things simpler, but of course it is not the same amount of science data gathered.

ULA has a new rocket in the works: the Vulcan Centaur which is expected to fly this year.
