The phone I carry is running Android Jelly Bean. Retailed for $49.

Is telomerase antagonists. The key to all cancers is that the cells use a substance called telomerase to rebuild the telomeres each time the cell divides. In essence it makes the cells immortal. But block telomerase and the cell just undergoes apoptosis after so many divisions.

Well of course and let me tell you that both VHF and UHF suffer the line of sight problem.

But you're right - I've pulled in 20 or 30 stations with a piece of 8 to 10 foot long wire from my first floor place. Just insert it into the center pin where the cable F connector would normally go.

And those of us in Urban environments tend to get better service that way anyhow.

Due to some verbiage placed into a Supreme Court ruling in the 19th century, corporations suddenly had the same rights as we flesh and blood entities.

The case in question is Southern Pacific Railroad vs. Santa Clara County in 1886. The head reporter for the court inserted language into the judgement that asserted corporations had the same rights as people.

That court reporter was one Bancroft Davis - may he be rotting in hell!

In the United States it runs about 50% Android, 49% IOS and about 1% Windows Phone.

But if you look at worldwide statistics - Android accounts for over 80%.

And here's something I've noted about the average smart phone user. They have absolutely ZERO clue about some of the more fun things you can do with the phone. Like hosing all the google and Facebook apps from the phone. Or using it as a 4G wireless hotspot. And in many instances browsing the web or installing an alternative web browser (I use Chrome on my Android phone).

In essence P.T. Barnum was right, there's one born every minute.

The Microsoft brand name is heavily tarnished. That's why they are dropping it to just be the Windows phone otherwise known as a bloated piece of shit.

The amateur radio club I once belonged to had a lot of older guys who had served in either the Atlantic or Pacific theaters in World War II.

The one thing they ALL remarked on was the mud. They estimate they must have had to truck in all the mud.

They were good guys - alas many have now died off.

The way the fcc treats comments received is each is a unique entity, even if they are submitted by the SAME person. So of that 1.4 million it's likely maybe 100,000 people who sent over and over.

Back a couple years ago the company I worked for got bought out by Dell. Dell had very strong anti-bribery policies in place for both domestic and international scenarios.

I guess HP didn't buy into that so much.

For the most part nature gives us the wetware to form connections. It's the white matter that matters after all. It forms the interconnecting network between the neurons.

So nurture has something to do with it too, so too education.

The full lifting of the embargo and establishment of full diplomatic relations with Cuba.

It's been close to a generation and the damage being done is pretty obvious.

I think Cuba is also suffering a brain drain. Those who could get out after Baptista and the Bay of Pigs did. What was left was the rabble. But they survived, even under our stupidity.

And up until the 1950's Cuba was a veritable tropical playground.

Yeah that was my first thought too.

But I am hopeful - I think we're a the crux between bio-mechanical devices and regenerative medicine. The difference, one replaces your heart with a mechanical contrivance, the other with tissue engineered from your own cells. I'd favour the latter. Or wetware over hardware.

And I don't recall if anyone else watched the space sci-fi show Space 1999 back in the day, but Professor Victor Bergman had an artificial heart.

Back in 2010 RIPTA got money to buy a number of Hybrid Gillig buses. So 5MPG becomes 10MPG and so on.

But bus service in RI mostly focuses on the urban side - with routes of 2 to 5 miles. So they'd benefit from going all electric.

Is that if the device in the car prevents the phone from functioning the manufacturer of the device will get a visit from the FCC. If it's accelerometer based - ok fine. But nothing prevents the person from using a different phone, a burner if you will. But another thought comes up - will passengers be able to text and use their phones? Or is the device indiscriminate?

You know we're still putzing with 4m or 10m connections in the U.S. when a country like Korea is rolling giga to the curb for most of the country and at a price considerably cheaper than what we pay.
