I think you're overlooking the root problem here. Science isn't geared toward to correct keywords that generate the articles that you'd like to read. From now on, we should rename "evolution" to "Kim Kardashian," "Mars" to "school shooting," and "SQL" to "Top Ten List."

Obviously they use the spacebar to toggle the heat on and off. https://xkcd.com/1172/

Either way, there's a precedent. I've kept location services off on my phone, and now I've turned them on. I realize GOOG or others might use them, but the convenience factor has tipped the scales for me, for now.

They still break addons. Just look for Download Status Bar.

It's not atmospheric pressure, it's internally induced pressure due to buoyancy differences, which are normally created due to gravity and a connection that is rigid enough to withstand the internally induced pressure. If you have a closed system of two non-rigid containers connected by a rigid body, then the fluid will try to flow in the direction of its buoyancy. Helium balloons connected internally by a straw (even a curvy one) would try to fill the higher balloon, right?

So yeah, he's right that in the absence of gravity, a normal siphon will not work. But, if you took that siphon system on the ISS and put one end outside in space, and one inside, you'll have a siphon-like effect due to air pressure. Likewise, if you take two balloons of water with a rigid connector and submerge one in a pool of Hg, then that "siphon" will work against gravity. :D

Given these rates of increase, I fully expect 10 Billion active users by the end of the decade, and the stock price should reflect that.

"Cellphone theft is a huge problem here in South Africa" is an understatement. Theft and rape are so common in SA that it's just appalling. Forth percent of women in SA will be raped in their lives, and 1/4 men admit being rapists. I think stolen cell phones are the least of their worries... http://www.frontpagemag.com/20...

They may as well have added animated tiles as links for articles, and it wouldn't be much worse.

There are compression plug-ins for servers. He'll need a server on site as a buffer in case of a hiccup to the cloud at the very least. But if he's putting in a server, he can just do it all himself anyway.

And it's cheaper, with Cell C competing against MTN and the likes, and winning. Prices have come down drastically since I've been there, to the point of making my Verizon plan look uncivilized.

I'm non-union and involved in installing new machines in a union business. They require us to hire union people to do the installation while we are restricted to supervision. So they do indeed do that.

As for higher wages across the board? Unions these days are pretty self-serving, even amongst their own. Thus you get two-tier wage levels or even three or four tiers in some cases. The older guys won't vote in lowering their $30/hr operator wages, so they cut more from the new guys who aren't voting yet, who end up getting around $14/hr with minimal increases.

Actually, the CIA did bug copiers for a while. This exploit has nothing to do with that kind of exploit.

no, entropy is a cosmic cancer.

And I'm still waiting on my ICS update for the Incredible 2 on Verizon. So while the Thunderbolt got ICS, some phones did not.
