Seems like a no-brainer to me. Why go out and dig up fossils when you can just print up a dino-bone. Gap in the fossil record? No problem. Just print up the missing link using a 3d morphing tool and be famous.
... and if you do carbon dating of the petroleum products used to make the plastic bones, they're both the APPROXIMATELY the same age, right?
Unlocked phones are becoming more available, and more carriers offer "bring-your-own-device" plans. So this should be offered as something you get installed by small phone retailers or, for more volume, bulk importers of phones and tablets. It's useful for people who don't want to be tied to Google or Apple online services.
Unlocked bootloader is not the same as network unlocked, unfortunately.
And considering the legislative environment, it may never be the same. Thankfully, unlocked phones (both network and bootloader) are becoming quite common - thanks, in part to google (and the nexus devices). Also, it's been "a thing" in europe for some time, I hear.
ARMv6 is outdated, ARMv7 is the way to go. And I'd rather have a not-so-beefy GPU than one that takes binary firmware blobs.
Of course, if the tech doesn't fit, you must
On the other hand, 2 million purchases seem to think that forking over $40 for a board isn't a TERRIBLE idea.
...and our distant descendants will gain the most accurate picture of us from our landfills, if we haven't already mined them out.
Sure, on our eating habits - Garbage in. But what if "garbage in = garbage out" doesn't hold true in the future?
Or what if they use our landfill as fossil fuel (wouldn't that be ironic)?
Great. Another configuration change to manage on all our workstations.
No problem with anti-competitive practices, or inferior-by-default programs. Just don't make your system administrator
Why are we even holding onto PDFs, anyways?
It took 7 years for scientists to count to 507 (the rings the clamshell form). I'm glad my math skills are superior. It must be all that metric math in the UK...
Yeah, Silly Metric. Only intellectually superior countries are holding out on this issue
What was the point of examining this individual animal?
Look at us still talking when there's science to do...

Agreed. I'm one of the fortunate ones - my boss actually follows the rules, but I've worked in places where the boss is exempt from basic network security. One was a small business where the boss 'pays the bills', so he got to 'make the rules'.
When his customer database was deleted he fired his IT guy in a fit of anger. He lost a lot of money in a wrongful dismissal settlement, and lost all of his business. It might have been the IT guy who did it - but the lawyers obviously felt that 'I don't need a slow virus scanner' was more likely the cause. Or at least, reasonable doubt.
Maybe even some wool socks if they're really pushing things.
Somewhere in translation, it was changed from Massive ESD to a much more threatening Massive EMP.
I did this at college with a peltier cooler, a backpack full of batteries, and a GPU water-cooling kit
You did something different that had a similar effect.
Having the same results is not the same as doing the same thing.
In many regards, but especially to Mr. Musk's business model.
So, you're proposing that Tesla will face competition from a car that uses alternatives to alternative fuel?
Hofstadter would be proud.
We have a equal opportunity Calculus class -- it's fully integrated.
