Suren Enfiajyan writes: It's not a secret that Google is working on a new operating system for phones, computers, and just about everything else, called Fuchsia. Many demos were shown which featured a UI, codenamed “Armadillo.” Now it seems that Armadillo has been removed.
Unfortunately, none of the demos and examples are accurate anymore. With a recent code change, humorously titled “Armadillo fainted!“, spotted by Redditor alawami, we’ve reached the end of an era. Every single piece of Armadillo code has now been permanently removed from Fuchsia’s Topaz repo.
Armadillo was replaced by Ermine, a developer-oriented shell, designed for the express purpose of testing Fuchsia applications.
Fuchsia development will likely take place in closed source Google code repository called “vendor/google.” Comments on public code has informed us that there are at least three new “shells”: Dugonglass, Dragonglass and Flamingo.

Two suspects were released after 36 hours of questioning. Their friends expressed dismay that the couple had been arrested in the first place.
There may well have been some sort of drone somewhere near the airport. But once the security professionals started thinking drones, they started seeing them everywhere. And it is generally thought that even the tiniest of drones can easily destroy a 100 ton airliner.
Cutting_Crew writes: Alfonso Ribeiro is suing Epic Games for the Carlton Dance, which was introduced in an episode from Fresh Prince of Bel Air in 1991. Epic Games has an emote that you can buy for $5 in the game called "Fresh" and seems to be a copy of the "Carlton" dance. Alfonso is suing, even though he is still in the middle of copyrighting the dance (assuming a dance move is even copyrightable to being with).
Also in the article, theres a few more cases outstanding from different personalities that have also had their moves mimicked.
A recent case involves the kid from SNL doing the Floss Dance . He might have a better case, since he's out there promoting it, using it, teaching people how to do it, etc.
Fornite also mimicks other popular dance moves like "Groove Jam" from Season 4 from Napolean Dynamite, although the studio has yet to file any lawsuit as of yet.
In the case of Alfonso Ribeiro, it seems like a 'bad faith' move since he has had 30 years to make something of the Carlton dance — whether using it, promoting it or having licensing deals using it. Instead it could be perceived that he is using this opportunity to make a quick buck from a company that has deep pockets.
Should dances (like other art) be copyrightable or is it on case by case basis? Some dances could be so ingrained into society that it would be categorized as 'commonplace' and thus not copyrightable but other dances/choreography, part of well known plays and acts might be more apt to getting awarded from intellectual property.
Capture One has a demo, 30 days full. That is what sold me. It is not Aperture, I knew that. I knew it was gone "sniff". I tried Photos, and knew I needed something else. Before I could decide to pay for Lightroom, Adobe went subscription, so I looked around. I tried Darkroom and it was promising, but then I tried a demo of Capture One, found a ton of tutorials, and I was happy. I bought it.
Why? Is their gas tank empty? I had the heated seat on in my Volt the other morning, I think I ended the day with one less mile remaining than normal. I have noticed more difference in the past month due to the headlights being on in both the morning and evening commute with the days being shorter. During the summer the ac probably reduced my miles remaining by 3 or 4 on my daily 28 mile round trip.

Was this meltdown caused by another try at beta? Or was it a failed experiment on UTF-16 support?
Or, more seriously: What happened? Which ISP hosts/. and SF? What lessons could be learned from the meltdown?
This thread may be a good opportunity for the powers that be to get in touch with us...
Really? My Volt gets me to and from work just fine. I bought used so no direct tax incentive for me. Cost about the same as any other 2 year old used car of similar size and miles. I spend less than 10 dollars a month charging it, compared to 45 a month for gas for the Accord it replaced.
The touch screen controls take a bit of getting used to, but once set up, I can control most stuff from the steering wheel and the control stalks are like 95 percent of any car I have ever driven.
Keep saying EV's are not ready for prime time. I'll keep driving mine, laughing at you.
You know, I bitched about AT&T taking longer than every other mobile carrier to waive overage fees for Harvey victims. Then they waived my overage which was not caused by Harvey (I was on vacation in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and using GPS for several hours every day.) Got back on the 26th just in time for the flooding, no damage here either, glad both of y'all are good too. Anyways, I would be more than happy to pay the overage fee, but I am sure AT&T will just apply it to my next bill instead...
dryriver writes: The BBC reports: "Whole streets in Texas are underwater, and social media has filled with images of clumps of floating fire ants, massed together in a structure on the surface. People are warned not to touch the ants, as they can get agitated and cover a person in dangerous stings. Entomologists say the floating rafts are normal behavior after the ants' underground homes get flooded out. In fact it's something they did routinely in the South American floodplains they originated in. Each raft can contain as many as 100,000 individual ants, which use their waxy, water-resistant bodies to link together around their queen as they travel in search of a new place to create the tunnels and chambers that make up their nests. But the ants on the bottom of the raft have not, as you might think, been sacrificed for the greater good of the queen. They are still alive. A system of air pockets keeps them able to take in oxygen through the air tubes on their bodies — the same way all insects breathe. 'All insects float,' Prof Jim Hardie of the Royal Entomological Society told the BBC. 'The ones at the bottom are properly fine."'
sciencehabit writes: In May 2014, a group of scientists took a field trip to a small brewery in an old warehouse in Seattle, Washington--and came away with a microbe scientists have never seen before. In so-called wild bear, the team identified a yeast belonging to the genus Pichia, which turned out to be a hybrid of a known species called P. membranifaciens and another Pichia species completely new to science. Other Pichia species are known to spoil a beer, but the new hybrid seems to smell better. The finding means brewers and scientists may be one step closer to unveiling the alchemy of spontaneous fermentation.
