Based on the comments I've seen from an ex-submariner earlier in the comments on this story:

Normally, a sub has multiple fire suppression and control systems that usually make fire control a situation of "close the hatches and deprive it of oxygen".

However, during a retrofit effort, the sub's configuration is anything but normal - In many cases seawater piping that is normally sealed and full of water is empty, dry, and providing a perfect source of outside air. Many of the hatches have cables and wiring running through them to support the retrofit efforts.

e.g. this would have been far less of a problem if the ship hadn't been in the middle of a major retrofit.

Nowhere in the article is any mention that the DARPA employees would be doing TS work.

Periods processing of the sort required to do TS work at night in a facility used by civilians during the day is basically impossible...

Except that the Android community I've been interacting with is the "outside Google" community.

I can only think of two Google employees doing Android-related work (Dianne Hackborn and JBQ) that I see posts from often. Maybe I'm just not following the rest - but I see a LOT of Android (and mobile in general) related discussion in between Dianne and JBQ's fairly rare posts. (And only a portion of Dianne's posts are in any way related to Android.)

GDI is nothing new, but it didn't become viable until recently.

Ford calls their turbocharged GDI engines EcoBoost - I was shocked at the mileage I got from a rental Ford Edge with one of these in it. Good mileage from a fairly large vehicle that also had great acceleration.
Mazda calls it Skyactiv (Probably fairly similar to EcoBoost due to the historical close relationship between Ford and Mazda)
Hyundai doesn't apply any fancy marketing terms for it, but they have had GDI engines in their non-turbo (and maybe the turbo too) Sonatas for 2-3 years now. 6-speed + GDI engine = car that hauls serious ass while still getting great mileage (Along with the Edge, the Sonata was one of the best rentals I've had in the past few years.)

Yeah... G+ has really evolved to start hitting a VERY different target market than Facebook.

Facebook is for those who want to keep in touch with personal friends.

G+ is for those who wish to engage with the world at large. Similar to you, I am almost always using G+, it's always open in a tab at home and I look at it more often than Facebook now. I'm now a Cyanogenmod maintainer for an Android device (Galaxy Note), and G+ has been an excellent way to connect with others in the Android community.

I post on Facebook and I also post on G+ - the content I post is VERY different. Also, many people may not post directly on their own profiles, but use G+ primarily to engage with other posters.

I honestly am seeing G+ as more of a competitor to blogging platforms than as a competitor to Facebook at this point.

So, in short, Google is acting shady because you didn't see two results from linkfarms - when Google has been quite transparent about their anti-linkfarm activities?

As I understand it, as shipped, CIQ wasn't too bad - the problem was that carriers were allowed to modify and extend it, and extend it they did such that it collected more information, and the user-accessible shutoff present in as-shipped CIQ software never was seen in a deployed phone.

They can hire all the privacy lawyers they want - no one is ever again going to trust a carrier to implement their software properly, and any attempt to reinsert their software into a device WILL result in a shitstorm.

OLS has existed with a fully open source client for nearly a year at this point.

It seems to have a whole pile of new features - but it's not the first by any means.

Smaller tropical islands are very humid but often don't have enough rainfall to keep an adequate freshwater supply, and as a result use desalination plants.

A turbine like this would work quite well in such an environment.

Yup... Sideloading allows someone who wants to "dip their toes" into development to do so without risk.

Apple gets away with not having this due to the fact that they have high market share and a proven ecosystem - so they can afford to turn away some of the hobbyist/amateur developers.

MS can't - the last market share survey I saw indicated that WP7 still had lower market share than WM6.x. I also agree on the value of homebrew development keeping WM6 alive - half the apps I used on a regular basis were homebrew from XDA. Although of course, the real homebrew "killer app" for WM6.x was haret + Android. xdandroid kept my Tilt2 alive as a useful device for months longer than I could have tolerated without it.
