From TFA: "Scientists from research institutes in Australia, Canada, Japan, China and the UK will today release the first DNA profiles of some of the most prevalent types of tumours."
Note that the USA isn't in the list. Are the US folks are too busy patenting their discoveries so they can monetize them?
Or is the USA falling behind because of the asinine science related policies of previous administration?
Or is there another reason?
The thing about netbooks are that they're priced right and they fit into almost any bag(the power brick not included).
It's actually quite funny to see how similar and in some aspects even better it is (and for a product 12 years ago!). Apart from the obvious (larger price and more weight), the older product actually has 12-16 hour life compared to iPad's 8 hour life. There's also dial-up modem (remember how bulky those were?), more apps, syncing software, and multitasking. 640x480 resolution and touch display.
Pretty awesome for a product in the 1998, considering it even beats iPad at some aspects. Oh and Windows CE also let you install any app you wanted (there was a lot of freeware apps too), not just something Apple didn't block from AppStore or where you have to pay for every app you want, no matter how simple task it does. And you also could program your own apps to it.
It hardly matters how much better it is if it's frustrating to use. Greatest app X doesn't matter unless it's easy to use, which is what apple has really done well (partly by restricting the things us nerds love- hardware specs and openness).
Let's see. You have a PHD and you don't have a chance of understanding that an ARM mortgage will bite you in the ass financially when interest rates rise, if you're left to your own devices.
We didn't get an ARM. We insisted on a flat-rate mortgage, to be held by the institution from which I received it for the length of the loan. We put down 20 percent. We have not missed a pyament; in fact, we are making overpayments (towards principal). Besides the house, we have no debts outstanding.
None of that means that I can personally parse the agreement I signed. We had to rely purely on the honesty of the credit union representative and our realtor throughout the whole process. They could, for all I know, show up tomorrow and tell us that our agreement says we have to move out and wander the streets, a pitiful subset of our belongings in a stolen shopping cart. Do I think that likely? No. But let us remember, the various native tribes also signed agreements, relying on the honesty of the other party. Look at their housing situation.
I'll bet you're a liberal or progressive and think debt can do our country no real economic harm, and that the government can spend us out of a depression too.
It was the last administration who had a vice president who said OUT LOUD "Deficits don't matter." That and the ability to compare the debt uptake between the administrations of the two parties in the modern era is indicative of why I, as a deficit hawk, vote the way I do.
And since you mention it, only the government can spend us out of a depression, because in a depression the commercial paper market has become completely dysfunctional. That speaks not at all to the issue of structural deficits.
My son's backpack, 4 years old at the time, was searched once because the matchbox cars looked suspicious under x-ray. Amusing as hell at first but they took their time. Almost missed our flight.
I don't like your chances of suing the Slovak police in Slovakia.
Even if you do win, you probably wouldn't like how they "settle their debts".
I'd say the design limitation is the 16GB of storage on the iPhone. (as opposed to the Droid which can easily be updated when 32gb micro SD cards come out) If a person can't figure out how to store graphics and level maps on the SD card, I don't think that person has any business designing games.
So, the "turn around and cancel" option is $179 + $350
Seems like a 100% reasonable ETF to me (far moreso than Verizon's ETF of twice the phone "discount" to cover "phone assistance" and "network upgrades" per their statement to the FTC).
>For a guy that is supposed to be a step ahead tech-wise, apparently he doesn't understand that people want a portable device that is easy to read.
Early in the computer revolution, the idea of a centralized application on dedicated hardware was popular. People envisioned computers that just ran word processors or just ran whatever stand alone application. For a little while this worked but it turns out what people want is to be able to break away from expensive dedicated hardware and just run software on a commodity machine.
Whats going on now is that people are just asking "Why must I pay $400 dollars, cant I just run this on my laptop?"
Unfortunately for nutty McFuturist, Amazon has already beaten him to the punch. You can read a Kindle book on a Kindle, on an ipod/iphone, or on a PC. I suspect the Nook will be doing this soon. Essentially, these companies are just competing on DRM formats. Not much else.
Phone taps generally require a warrant, and I don't think that police engage in a great deal of home surveillance using helicopters.
