Even with root, the phone will prompt you every time an app wants super user access.
Nope. That is entirely up to the 'su' binary on your device. On mine, rooting simply meant I was able to alter things. It wasn't until I replaced the 'su' binary that I was able to effectively run things superuser, and the replacement binary (chainfire's supersu, incidentally) does the prompting.
This, most likely... though it can't seem to back up Play applications that you've paid for (AFAIK there's encryption involved)
ADB (debugger, part of the SDK) also has backup/restore functionality - though I've never used it personally so I don't know if it's actually usable without already being rooted.
It's not Google's responsibility. If the app wasn't written by a chinese fly-by-night, it would handle the null data return and properly admonish the user, etc.
Yes. But they seem hell-bent on not doing it.
Indeed. There is zero reason this needs to be legislated.
This is just congress fucking off instead of doing what they are supposed to be doing, again.
Ah, it was one of those "ecard" line drawings of a child on a stool with a dunce cap. It was captioned "There are stupid questions."
Indeed. So it's not generally available. Hence what you got here was a preview.
Oh? Maybe you'd like to share with us where we can download it to try it ourselves...
I'm surprised they didn't have some kind of coolant media they could vent across exchangers to dump heat - you wouldn't need to carry very much, and you (generally...) only launch once on a mission.
AFAIK the coolants that would be used in that setting would be highly radioactive and/or toxic or extraordinarily hot - think "primary loop" reactor coolant. What the ISS is having problems with is more like the water cooling stuff in your car or PC (if you've a water-cooled CPU/GPU)
Yes. The electronics getting hot and shutting off will, for no apparent reason, expend significant amounts of delta-v, deorbiting the station.
Who is "we?"
If you can feed in a seed and get the same output reliably, it's not a RNG, but a PRNG.
