US phone plans typically have no roaming charges over the 48 states - it's easy to spend six hours in the air with no cost increase for cell phone use, and thus no deterrent to yacking.
In Europe, it's hard to take a flight over an hour without crossing an international border.
Casual web search just turns up articles about the new stations in the US.
If we don't already have equivalent stations in Russia, we could offer them a trade. They get theirs when we get ours.
If Dylan isn't good enough for you, your problem isn't non-S-expression syntax.
1. Wolfram is a notorious Lisp disser, and Mathematica is arguably a shining example of Greenspun's tenth rule.
2. Lisp has a long history of trying to help programmers, with mixed results. The term DWIM was coined by Warren Teitelman in 1966 as part of a project based on BBN Lisp, the main predecessor of Interlisp; this project of his sounds like DWIM writ large.
... they're doing it on everything.
It is arguably more dangerous to cut corners on, say, a natural gas pipeline than anything at a nuclear plant, because nuclear facilities have a lot more redundancy in their safety systems.
Consider that it is debatable whether the events at Fukushima nuclear plants killed anyone at all, whereas natural gas explosions kill and injure people on a regular basis - Google-searching for "natural gas explosion" turns up three distinct events in the US on the first page, one of which killed an 11-year old girl in West Virginia.
... were former physicists. Granted, we're mainly a NASA/NOAA contractor so the domain knowledge is very useful.
The Post glories in pun-based headlines. Witness today:
Rebooting the reputation of computer legend who helped defeat Hitler
For a story on a posthumous pardon for Alan Turing.
I bought three years of prepaid tuition for my son and daughter in the early 2000's, about four years before the first one went to college. I liquidated investments in an UGMA fund to do so, reasoning that the prepaid plan would appreciate at the rate of tuition inflation.
Tuition was frozen in Maryland that year, and didn't increase at all until the first child graduated.
And to make things worse, the UGMA was mostly stock, and partially stock in
1998 - iMac

2001 - iPod
2005 - iPod shuffle/mini/nano
2007 - iPhone
2008 - MacBook Air
2010 - iPad
When Apple releases a category killer, typically it takes a year or two before it is recognized as such (the iPad is the exception above), then they turn the crank and improve it year over year, making serious money for a decade or so total.
Note that they only have to do that about every three to four years - note the 2001 - 2005 gap (which could be extended to 2007 if you lump all the iPods together).
We should worry if Apple hasn't had a New Shiny Thing by, say, 2015, giving them some slack due to Steve's departure.
... needs to be the metadata of phone records for Congresscritters, and their staff. They're already required to log physical visits by lobbyists - seeing who calls whom during breaks in legislative sessions would be even more interesting.
Maybe that would convince them that easy global access to traffic analysis is too dangerous for routine government access.
The MacBook Air got so thin that it couldn't take the MagSafe charger cable from the rest of the portable line. It now has a slightly thinner version called MagSafe2, and yes you can get an adapter for your older power bricks - it's $10.
In their defense, Apple is doing what the market tells them to. Every time they take a current design and make it smaller/thinner/lighter, people line up to buy it.
... from the carrier, for the limited time window around the accident. I would have no problem with the carriers handling those routinely and quickly, since the data requested is much less intrusive than looking at everything on my phone (which is what they'll do if they take your phone at the scene of an accident).
... and emphatically NOT fine with PRISM or its derivatives.
The earthquake that caused the tsunami that made Fukushima break (whew!) also damaged several dams in the area.
One of them washed away five homes and killed at least four people.
In response to this, they shut down the energy source that didn't kill anyone.

Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
