Block it - Settings->Privacy->Location Services->Gmail - slide the slider to OFF to turn off ability for that app to use location services.
So I don't see it there, I only see Google Maps. Am I supposed to block Google Maps?
Most electric carts I've used have only one pedal. When you push it, the cart moves forward. When you let go, it brakes.
How asinine is it to expect a car to coast (no powered acceleration) but not brake? Using your model, when my car is coasting, I'd have to keep the pedal slightly depressed so it would accelerate during a long downward hill.
Also, switching around the now-standardized pedal layout (approximates automatic-drive, not manual) is a no-brainer. It would literally be a non-starter if I had to switch driving modes just because one of my cars is electric.
You know, like you get a higher electric bill if you use more electricity, a higher water bill if you use more water, like you used to get a higher phone bill if you would make more phone calls, and like the ISPs have higher costs if their customers consume more bandwidth.
Let's see the equivalent of the public utility commissions, or FERC, and then we calk talk about metering. I don't trust AT&T to play straight with metered billing.
AT&T is the same company that was alleged to have randomly pushed data usage on iPhones that were off [1]. My wife who was until recently on AT&T had several months where her account would get slapped with a data charge late due to unexplained usage late in the cycle. After a year or so of this abuse and a couple of hundred dollars later we finally all switched to TMobile non-contract, and strangely (hmm) have never seen the data usage with the same pattern (not that it would matter now - at worst she'd be bumped to 2G speeds, not billed for an extra allotment of data). Couldn't be happier since the switch. TMobile is great, and compared either ATT or VZ, has much better service and aren't jerks. If you get decent TMO signal where you are, I highly recommend the switch.
To this day, AT&T still won't explain to you the data specifics - it's hard to correlate what's on the bill detail vs. what's on the phone log.
Other details were scarce, but you can bet that Haswell-E will be Intel's fastest desktop processor to date when it arrives sometime in the second half of 2014. Intel also gave a quick nod to their upcoming 14nm Broadwell CPU architecture, a follow-on to Haswell.
Does anyone else find it kind of weird that Intel seems to have gotten into a pattern where their supposed top of the line CPUs are perpetually a generation behind their supposed commodity CPUs in terms of technology?
Not at all - the commodity CPU customers can do beta test for the more risk-averse enterprise server CPU customers.
Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis said she'd rather see companies pay more in taxes and fund schools that way, rather than relying on their charity or free software."
She is making a dangerous assumption that if tax revenues increased the extra would be spent on schools
Conversely, when a company says that, by lowering taxes, they'll reinvest into the community, that's to be taken without any grains of salt at all.
Actually, what it likely means is that they'll just spend that untaxed money on campaign contributions (western world speak for bribes) and executive bonuses.
a state with 2 parties that are basically 2 wings of one party, a party of the rich (how much money does it take to run for office and how do they acquire that money)
To add to your point, a majority of the members of congress are millionaires [1]. Keep in mind that reporting rules don't require disclosure of amounts above $1M, just that they are "over $1M". So it's getting harder to track the wealth and it's corruptive effects.
OpenFL is a code library written in Haxe. You use OpenFL, and then you can output a truly native (C++) app, but can still use the flash API. It doesn't embed the flash player, or Adobe AIR, or anything like that, in your generated C++ app.
So is this a possible migration path for those who were using Adobe AIR? If it's C++, could it tie in with Apple's ObjectiveC framework and thus create deployable apps in the Mac App Store?

Old-school diesels are a menace to air quality. You can tell the latest ones in cars in the US are a difference in kind, as the back bumper is no longer stained black around the exhaust. There's really no excuse for particulate emissions with current tech.
This quite a non-sequitur - most of europe's diesels are as clean as the new diesels you see in CA - the reason CA disallowed them for years was the lack of availability of low-sulfur diesel fuel..
Tailpipe emissions are exactly why France's cities stink. I know, the number of cars on the road there has multiplied, while the capacity to meet them has not (and likely cannot).
You actually prefer XML???????
Yes, as I deal in data interchange all the time, XML is great as it allows schema definition/sharing (XSD) and XSLT is a mature transformation language, that, after many years in the woods, is now available with functional capabilities (XSLT v3.0).
The only problem we have is that often, endpoint partners/vendors don't provide the XSD, nor do they share how they plan to validate files we send them. Or they ignore our XSD. But I still can't imagine things would be better if JSON were the interchange format.
If I control both endpoints (i.e., our browser script talking to our server through XHR), then JSON is an acceptable format. If not, I prefer XML.
A modern ULEV vehicle (which is most of the smaller imports available in America) has effectively no pollution, and certainly no particulate matter. The old joke was that driving a ULEV car through LA would actually clean the air (and that was likely true on a bad day).
Banning older vehicles solves a real problem. Imposing emissions standards on lawncare equipment solves a real problem. This is just feelgood nonsense.
So why then has the EU and CA established even higher restrictions on emissions? Could it be that SULEV, PZEV, or ZEVs actually make a tangible difference?
I visited France again (Paris, Tours and Grenoble) a three years ago, and the one thing I remember is feeling that the inner parts of cities (centre-ville and environs, or most of metro Paris) literally stank of exhaust - likely because turbo-diesels are so popular in Europe (if I didn't own a high-mpg hybrid here already, I might have bought one stateside). I don't remember this impression 10 years ago. I'm sure the problem has steadily gotten worse.
If you think it's a bad experience when you have a single OS (plus first-party apps) vendor, and a separate manufacturer (e.g.: my Lenovo and it's bevy of task-tray items), try it now with two fully supported OSs out of the box.
While I agree that it sucks that Google and Microsoft both are trying to defeat this initiative, I can also say with a 95% certainty that even if the both condoned it, it would still be a really bad experience.
Google's hypocrisy with android being "Open" is what's really exposed here - in honesty, both Microsoft and Google are as bad as Apple in desiring closed platforms. It's just that Apple seems better at delivering said platform.
I see her as a mass murderer.
I'm suspicious she has institutional support and funding - perhaps from some right-wing Christian fun die groups or perhaps from the corporatoracy class that wants to sell more vaccinations.
But putting her on trial would certainly uncover the rock and send the cockroaches scrambling.
Would the electric car still work? Could you easily find a place to charge up in that event? A car for the president has some different considerations than me in Suburbia who works from home 3 days a week and doesn't drive much. (For the record I'm a Chevy Volt owner)
I drove 5-ton dump trucks in the military, most of systems were redundant including air-pressure brakes and the like. Your Honda, unless it's 30+ years old, will not survive the EMP either.
One answer - Common Core + No Child Left Behind = ways to screw over schools, teachers and children.
Remove the funding based on mandatory tests (i.e., NCLB) that have been proven to be gamed, and the ideas of Common Core might make sense to implement.
If NCLB is a pit trap, Common Core for many schools becomes the punji stakes hiding in it.
