User was installing a new battery that failed due to shorting when installed.

Different incident. User dropped the phone and the physical damage caused the battery short.

The typical failure mode from dendrite formation is the battery slowly drains itself from the high resistance connection between the cathode and anode that forms, and not a thermal runaway but it can happen. This is a common failure mode for NiCad batteries, but Lithium batteries are much more heat sensitive and the electrolyte when heated too much can release oxygen to fuel a runaway reaction. Battery failures in portable electronics are typically due to physical damage or poor quality chinese made batteries, especially when they omit the protection circuits.

I'm very surprised you haven't seen this, or the similar notation on ceramic caps. It's used simply because a decimal is easy to miss when printing on small components.

A portion of that ice is sitting above sea level, so as it melts and the liquid water flows away there's less total water in the area.

Well the most popular color for the Prius C. is that glaring orange color.

To me, the data doesn't show what cars attract tickets or prove any bias. To do that you'd have to assume all drivers commit traffic violations at the same rate independent of car model. It probably better represents what cars people who like to speed prefer to drive, and possibly so bias on what car models are more popular in areas that have higher enforcement.

Except Google has servers in Canada. So the argument would be more like a German store, but they ship from a warehouse in Canada.

Bumping from 16-GB to 64-GB costs approximately $25 in parts, or less considering Apples bulk purchasing power.. But Apple of course charges a $100 premium.

Or that if you signed up for a phone plan, they gave you the base 16-gig model, and upgrading was really expensive.

It's a bit of a mix of both, but primarily a video game with trading card like features. (It sounded pretty lame to me)

I guess you didn't bother reading the first two paragraphs of the form.

The same questionnaire form is used for performing a background check to determine suitability for sensitive, non-classified positions as well. It also clearly spells out that failing to completely and truthfully complete the questionnaire is ground for denying you employment.

Really, Wikipedia, Google, and the NoSQL site itself disagree with you. It was originally called "Not Only SQL" and later many started calling it "No SQL".

The intent of the initial title was to indicate that it was an alternative to SQL, but later in life SQL-like query functionality was grafted into many implementations. It's likely the NHS implementation has sql querying capability if they did a rip-n-replace of the underlying database, otherwise the project becomes immensely larger as you have to re-write or modify everything that touches the database.

NoSQL stands for Not Only SQL. Running NoSQL doesn't preclude SQL. In fact if they did a rip-n-replace they are more than likely using an implementation that still supports SQL queries.

Go read the bible which has passages advocating similar violence. You don't see the Christians following those either, at least not since the crusades.

No, it's receiving a lot of attention because the outbreak is not contained to a small remote village as with previous outbreaks. It's not contained at this point (partly due to the lack of govt in these areas), and there is a significant population in danger. The fairly long incubation period of up to a few weeks means this could easily be carried back to major populated areas and spread like wildfire.

Given the 90% mortality rate of ebola, I suspect nearly anyone infected will want to volunteer. The problem is that the drug can't be mass produced yet. 10s of doses takes months to produce using the current method, which is genetically modified tobacco plants (bit of irony there). A massive influx of resource is needed to ramp up production.

+1 for informative if I had it. Indium and Gallium are somewhat toxic, and ironically suspected as carcinogenic.

I wonder if the intent was for the metal to get absorbed and held in the tumor rather and slowly poison it more than restrict the blood flow.
