this is really "news" from 2000.

furthermore, iBeacons and such are used exclusively for the purpose of creating a beacon..

how big are the instance zones?

because, I think, the biggest problem for them will be converting cryengine to handle space simulation scale areas/seamless instance transitions.

there's no reason to write firefox apps NOW.

either the firefox apps need to be natively packagable for android or the other way around.

however, if it feels like mozilla? what do they mean? that they'll add a skinning system to it with big fanfare and then drop it? that at first it'll be a lean mean thing that runs quick and then quickly will get bloated with stupid shit while they move yes/no/cancel buttons to different combinations and orientations without telling you?

also, it feels just like a fucking company now so there's that... it doesn't have the from users to users feel. mozilla should just go and look back at why phoenix was such a success and why firefox is now meh.

mozilla hasn't provided me with anything useful/better in THIRTEEN FRIGGIN YEARS than competition now so..

very clever? you mean they had them all in an aws bucket with no access limits?

anyways, the assets as such wouldn't be so interesting as would be to get to know how far they are at modifying the cryengine to fit a free roaming space simulator. because THATS what i'm skeptical about in the project. I'm sure they can produce pretty spaceship models and all that, I'm just not so sure they grok what it takes to change the engine so that the space doesn't feel like couple of arenas(like x2 or freelancer).

UK & Greece: no porn and no money.

That initiated is physical as well as mental. Please link to those studies instead of a promotional site. When the woman can hit her boyfriend/husband and he calls the police and *HE* is arrested for domestic violence even when witness support the events, all the stats are suspect.
Don't be a useful tool.

"Personal experience" comments from AC's are worthless.

There are female construction workers as well. Also male nurses. You're pedantically promoting the false assumption that it must be one hundred percent to be a masculine or feminine career which makes your discourse suspect.

Stamped steel, not silver.

And under Firefox, don't forget to tweak your about:config:

If you don't need them, WebGL and WebRTC are just big security holes:

Not privacy-related, but...

Its not that simple. You can't just recover it from nuclear reactor waste because it's mixed in with other isotopes of plutonium, and isn't in that great of quantities to begin with. So first off you have to reprocess nuclear waste to extract the neptunium - which again, itself isn't in very great quantities, it takes a lot of waste, and most places don't want to do waste reprocessing to begin with due to cost and liability issues. You then have to make neptunium targets and expose them to a neutron flux - that is, using neutronicity that could otherwise be used for power generation or other valuable purposes (it takes a lot of neutrons to make a tiny bit of Pu238). Pu238 should be more thought of as a manufactured product than as a byproduct of particular types of nuclear reactors.

There are a few other candidates for use as space power sources that actually are waste products, but they're all significantly worse performers. There are two other alternatives. One is to make a Sterling RTG, which was in development, but funding has been cut off (it's also kind of tricky because you have to ensure that something with moving parts will operate for decades in the harsh environment of space). The other is to make an actual nuclear reactor. This means almost limitless power, but it comes at the expense of not only massive development costs and public opposition, but a large minimum size and massive radiator requirements, as well as the same reliability challenges of sterling generators.

There's no easy solutions. Except, of course, to stop bloody wasting plutonium once we have it.

the year elop came onboard was the best selling year for the symbian smartphones.

though, if they had kept the same middle layers they would still have been fucked - elop or not. elop accelerated things considerably though, by announcing windows phones when they were selling symbian phones by the boatloads(EXCEPT in USA. a market that traditionally was a niche market for Nokia really and rightfully so). for some reason the board was hell bent on conquering the low profit shitty carrier ran smartphone market of the USA and were willing to put the company under a bus for it. why? who the fuck knows. they probably were jealous that they were not on american magazines as much as motorola, despite having buried motorolas business 3 times already globally.

like, if Elop had been competent he could have saved the company and moved to android or whatever. really just last year nokia DID release android phones and they sold pretty well in markets where they were sold(elop refused to sell them in NA or EURO regions, Nokia X, it was a sub 100$ series of android smartphones and consequently sold well).

also, nokia fudged stats by moving phones between smart and feature categories pretty much yearly, but that's besides the point. nokia gave you ssh, irc and web browsing on a 200$ phone like 6 years before apple gave it to you on a 600$ phone. c++ apps baby.

there were other long running fuckups at nokia along the way as well almost _all_ which could be attributed to middle managers subcontracting&giving perks to outside companies which said middle managers then used as golden parachute jobs when exiting Nokia(and most fucked up that part as well).. also they had about 7000 too many people working on the symbian phones... ultimately it's the upper leaderships fault for not looking what the officers were doing.

if the patent included the plans for the devices that make the invention happen and not just a fucking description of the invention, then it wouldn't be prior art.

but as usual for the patents nowadays, it doesn't actually describe how to build the AI for such a doll. it only describes what the doll could do.

patent office sleeping again. should not have been granted. also numerous other patents have done the same shit already, so this is more like "an idea previously described even in patents but IN A TEDDYBEARDDDD".

making an example?
how?

they're not yet made an example. if they get busted and thrown out of eurozone, THEN they're an example. the sad funny thing is that a lot of greeks want that to happen and their goverment to go all venezuela with monetary policy.

and if greeks weren't in the monetary union, they would have done that already three times in past 15 years.

the funny thing is that the "austerity measurements" are just measurements to make the country not use more money than they have. like, it doesn't matter if someone loans them more money if they don't fix that, 1 year down the road they'll be out of money and in even more debt. but the greeks do not want to live withing budget - they promised to live within budget when they joined the monetary union, they promised it 10 times in 10 years already but never lived up to it.

yeah..

and really, a lot of ai experts, perhaps 13%, are ai experts only in the sense that they make articles about "omg SIngULArity kiLL uS alLL".

really shitty article/summary writing anyhow. even the 13% is presented as a majority - and definitions of positive or negativity.. like, if people can't/don't need to work due to ai sweeping the streets, is that a net positive or a negative? some people think that fucking metal stamping was a negative invention..
