...just add virus to make him mobile.

Once the LHC makes a black hole that swallows the earth, I'm sure there'll be plenty of lawsuits!

Me: "Hi, I'd like to complete your cancellation of our contract."

AT&T: "OUR cancellation? How do you figure that?"

Me: "Well our contract was for unlimited data access, and you have announced that you no longer offer unlimited data access, so that means you've canceled our contract."

I just find it interesting that whether or not a cell phone is a container that holds objects -- something one might discuss with their two-year old -- is being debated in a state supreme court.

...and carbon neutral!

It would be separate instructions on a RISC machine, but not a traditional CISC machine.
This is a One Instruction CISC (although that seems like an oxymoron)

If Twitter is the main consumer of these, and they depend on them, why doesn't Twitter go into the shortening business? Buy one of those short domain names and run it themselves. They clearly have the resources, and the motivation. Seems obvious to me.

If all the votes are public, you can tally them yourself and see if they match the official total.

You are on to the problem - lack of resolution - but a little off in the numbers.

At 687 meters in 0.3433 seconds it is traveling 2000 m/s. So with only 0.1 second accuracy you can only get within +/- 200 meters. Even if there were no floating point conversion error, or accumulation of errors, 0.1 second is simply not enough resolution of time to intercept the missile.

How could they ever think this would work?

Yep. He just needs to spend endless years in litigation to get his position back.
He loves an exercise in futility.

I was wondering that myself. Aside from all the talk of losing your data if it gets too warm, what if the phone got really cold. Wouldn't that make it harder to heat up and write the data? Would it be temporarily unwritable when cold? Not a deal-breaker, but I just wonder.

The 'Watson' computer system uses natural-language processing techniques to break down questions into their structural components and then search its database for relevant answers.

Well DUH, that won't work! On Jeopardy they give you the answer and you have to respond with the question. Geez, haven't they ever watched the show?

"..and the other is a black screen with white font which he uses prompt commands on"

Wait, how do they know he wasn't running MSDOS?

Surely if he was running a Microsoft OS then it couldn't be terrorism.

It looks to me like the fore and aft wheels don't touch the ground during balancing and normal driving, so I don't think friction is an issue. I think they are there for a) when it is off, and b) when the balancer fails at 35MPH. Probably also good to have that one in front during a panic stop.

So does North Korea now have the ability to land a "communications satellite" on American soil?
