This is now at level of E!.
Modeling debut? Good grief.

Actually this maybe changing for some programing shops. In the Agile training I took one of the rules was do not work more the 40 hours a week. Sure for a crunch now and then you may have to go over but if you do more than two weeks at over 40 something is wrong.

Of course it is all possible but it is not at the level of just works for most people.
"You think that would be good, but in reality it would be annoying. It's nice to have that stuff have its own controls, particularly a volume knob.

Volume buttons are the devil."
So wouldn't it be cool if Android could read the volume knob and even use it and the other buttons that the car uses?

"In both the GPS and OBD-II cases, you can bet that the manufacturer would charge you more than you'd pay to get the functionality from a third party."
To start with probably. Eventually it will just be standard equipment just like traction control, and ABS is now.

I would like to see more than mirror link.
I would love to have an option for the phone to use a GPS built into the car and the antenna. In theory it should be better than the tiny one they have to fit in your phone. Also it would be good if could have access to the AM, FM, and Satellite radio systems and can control them.
I would also like to see it have access to the things like MPG data.

" costs money to license, and you have to agree to forcing Google's shit by default (like the Play store)."
1. No it does not http://9to5google.com/2014/01/...
And the things that Google "forces" android handset makers is frankly what customers want.
Google started making handset makers to do make GMS and all or nothing service when a handset maker put on all sorts of Google apps but made the search BING and locked it down!
Some companies choose not to use GMS but still use Android like Amazon.
AOSP plus GMS == the Android must consumers want.

Compared to IOS, BlackberryOS, and WP Android is as free as can be. If you want source to everything but the GMS apps just run Cyanogen. You can even add in the GMS apps if you want them or just run Outlook, YahooMail, or a FOSS mailclient for mail, and the mapping software of your choice.

exactly.

Isn't the real problem the criminals that made the attack?

simple get another quad and hang a net from it. Fly it above the offending quad and tangle the props and land with it.
In the US you own the airspace up to about 500 feet over your land so it should be completely legal if done safely. AKA don't do it over people.

It is accurate and misleading at the same time. People think of drones as military style drones while small RC aircraft are usually called RC models and have been for decades. The AMA is not happy about the use of word drone because they have had a very good relationship with the FAA up till now.
As to RC aircraft with cameras. I remember reading about people putting cameras on RC planes back in the 70s. Of course that was in the days of film.

This was a guy with radio control quad or a guy with a drone depending if you want to be scary or not.

You are forgetting the other part of the equation.
The working poor do not have a lot of time to cook. High fat and salt foods taste good and are fast to cook. A really good healthy meal often takes more time to prepare so that it is tasty.
The fast food places do not prey on the poor with their $1.00 menu. They offer fast calories. BTW salt does not make you fat. It is good to limit your salt but it is the calories in the food that make you fat.
Honestly most of the working poor I see are not overweight at all.

OpenCL, Cuda, CAD, POVRay, Blender..... Not everyone uses Linux the way you do. There are many linux systems that do not have any graphics cards at all and just use a UART.

Intel graphics just plain suck... Actually they are not too bad these days but really do not complete with AMD or nVidia.

I think part of the problem is that analog has shifted of the mainstream for hobbyists. Let's face it, a lot of best engineers start as kids and kids today are not getting into HAM radio all that much but instead are working with Arduinos. It is sad.

I like the idea that Humans developed time travel and went back in time and set up the universe so that humans are the only intelligent species in the galaxy and made time travel impossible. But lets face it. Humans have only been a technological species for around 130 or so years depending on where you draw the line. You could have a lot of civilisations that never develop past victorian levels of technology. Or we just have not been interesting enough for long enough.

" Also unlike Florida, it would have been not nearly so far from the Houston command center."
Cape Canaveral pre-dates NASA in Houston. You see mission control was in Florida for Mercury and Gemini and was moved because... LBJ had some buddies that would make a lot of money if Mission control was moved to Houston. The Eastern Test Range which is what NASA uses for the Cape was already set up and working long before Houston Control.
It is also not as far south as you can get in the lower 48, that would have been Key West and their was a navy base their but logistics would have been terrible.
