There should be an international coding competition between heads of state.
The people who devote their time and skills, free of charge, to port CyanogenMod to specific hardware.
There's an app for that?
I use the built in functionality of Android. It's right there in the Lollipop notification thing.
The most expensive part of the computer now is the idiot at the keyboard.
If you can make a person more productive, say 1 hour a week, thats over 150 hours over 3 years they spend doing more work instead of browsing slashdot.org and facebook.com
FTFY.
The time saved/money saved equation is not simple or universal.
If you save someone 5 minutes a day at their job, they'll probably just spend 5 more minutes fucking around.
There are some exceptions, like high volume call centres where staff are basically robots. But more other jobs are not time managed down to the second.
Perform test several times in a variety of positions so the effects of gravity can be measured and accounted for?
Perhaps Apple don't want to put their name on a flexible strap tied around your wrist containing a lithium battery.
It would be a PR nightmare if it caught fire. I don't think flexible battery technology is as mature as non-flexible batteries.
Yeah, I installed Lubuntu on an old laptop, and it installed Firefox by default.
Oh wait a minute...
Yes... because a system that requires the aircraft to transmit a signal containing GPS data is going to make it easier to track drones without the necessary equipment?
8k video!
Don't forget the impact with the surface at 14,000kph. That's equivalent to a bit less than a ton of TNT.
It would have been cooler to escape from Mercury. It would then hurtle towards the sun. All it would take is an extra 1500kph... That's like... probably all the fuel they had left once they got in to orbit.
I suppose you think sound travels the same speed regardless of the medium and temperature.
You physically can't touch the US with a 9 million mile bargepole even if you tried. You wouldn't be strong enough to life it and you would need to be out in space to hold the other end. Like way past the moon and part way to Mars out in space.
You mean sort of like communism?
Nobody needs a job, technology can do it all!
Who builds the technology? Who keeps it running? Why would someone want to even learn how to do that, when they could just live a life of leisure instead? How do you stop people fucking all the time without regard because everyone gets a free ride and over populating the planet?
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
