Oh, dear...
For a laugh I just googled the average number off attempts needed to pass the driving test.
The UK government actually publishes statistics of "pass rate by ethnicity of candidate", and.... Asians and blacks are more likely to fail the test than whites.
That doesn't tell you much unless you cross-reference with other data (are they taking it at a later age, maybe more immigrants in this group) and other factors (like are they immigrants who take the test early because they have driven in other countries), and motivation (my wife was very relaxed about her test as she could drive for a year on an overseas license before passing. It was quite amusing when she failed first time, said thanks, and drove off!).
Twice? Seriously? How does it feel to be a drooling idiot?
Just like being an idiot, except you can feel the wet drool dripping out of your mouth and over your chin.
Welcome to "the land of incrementally deprived of their liberty because they don't see the inevitable coming".
But at least with the rear-view camera they should be able to see the flattened wreck they have just run over
A stolen phone is an opportunity to sell a replacement - and maybe persuade someone to upgrade and go onto a new contract.
In what way will remotely destroying the phone remove this revenue stream?
By discouraging theft
Mark Zuckerberg envisions a system of drones and laser beams.
I think the USAF envisions the same thing.
I think being able to see a new color would be a reasonable trade-off for the risks of neurosurgery.
Possibly
Will it be like seeing a whole new colour, or will the infrared spectrum still need to be translated into the already visible spectrum? Judging by the article it seems to be the second, but the first would be much cooler.
Just let me insert this connector into your brain...
The Intel Broadwell CPU has got a machine code pseudo random number generator in it's extended instruction set! Immense! Gimme Gimme Gimme
And what's more the pseudo random number generator is NSA approved.
You guys keep working on that. Meanwhile Apple will continue selling millions more Macbooks and Mac Pro's to hard core developers, scientists and engineers who have work to do and need a computer to get it done with.
You do realise that almost all of the top 500 supercomputers run Linux
Isn't that so that you can send links to contacts? Android has no granular permissions support so if you ever want to be able to email a link from the app, you have to grant that permission.
Its a shame that you cannot just deny that right and have it fail if you ever tried the email functionality. Or even let the application know what's granted so that it can disable the email options.
Maybe he's just sad that dogs get sad.
Well that is sad but I was mainly thinking its sad that many dogs will be medicated for no valid reason - as I think most of these cases will be just a diagnosis for cash.
about a century and a half ago, nobody ever heard about autism. you wouldn't be diagnosed an autist, but simply made to stand in a corner of the class with a dunce cap a lot.
Another couple of centuries before that they would have been called hermits and generally venerated.
Reference the NULL within NULL, it is the gateway to all wizardry.
