Merge the towns, if the barrier to having broadband is the name of your town then merge them. Soon all communities in North Carolina will be called Wilson City.

There are also people who died of smallpox who were buried in places where they would be below the permafrost line or at a high enough altitude it is always below freezing. Removing the samples from the NIH and the CDC would not remove all of the permanently frozen people in the Yukon, Siberia or high mountain ranges.

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the NON-existence of God. The argument goes like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.' `But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.' `Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly disappears in a puff of logic. `Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing. - Douglas Adams "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

I like this idea for creating ground or processed meat products: hamburgers, brats, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, bacon, jerkey. I don't think we will get to a point where you are lab-growing a pork chop, a steak, or an entire turkey leg. Would these products be kosher? vegan? Is it still an animal product if it doesn't come from an animal?

I thought that TouchID could be bypassed by a fake finger with a fingerprint printed on it. (Source: YouTube) Making someone unlock a phone with their own finger seems like an unnecessary step.

The FBI was able to force Apple to hand over the keys to the iPhone 1,2,3,4... because they had a valid warrant from the FISA court. The same thing that also happened to LavaBit. Apple responded by creating a security system where even they don't have the keys. So the FBI is using the All Writs Act to force Apple to create a way to force update the phone to a less secure version. Once this software exists the FBI can go back to the FISA court to force Apple to hand this over too.

The people who drive trains are called Engineers as well. I think that when I was at school there were both Computer Scientists and Computer Engineers. CompSci did programming and CompE built computers and other electrical devices.

I plug my laptop into a nice sized monitor for normal use so I need more ports than most. 1 Keyboard/Mouse/Headphones 2. external hard drive for backups 3. temporary use for something like a thumbdrive 4. charging port for phone/watch/ etc.

From what I remember from school health class. The rule of thumb is 0.02 up for every drink, and 0.02 down for every hour after the first hour. So 0.08 would be 5 drinks over two hours. That would make 0.20 something like 11 drinks over 2 hours or 12 drinks over 3 hours.

When I first read the title to the article I was expecting a group of students that are showing how to defend a ship from an attacking humanoid robot using fire. Which would be cool too.

EnOne, a US citizen living in the US, wrote Wednesday that he is "very concerned" by the governments decision to automatically search all data on Android and iOS devices without a warrant.

Remember the Oliver North trial where he kept on saying "Upon the advice of counsel I am pleading the Fifth" - that was the 80's way to not incriminate worrisome because if you are pleading the Fifth there is something you can be incriminate for. Now you just follow Alberto Gonzales (US Attorney General) stating "I do not recall" that way you don't have to worry about 5th amendment protection, you just have a bad memory.

I wrote a program from an inner room with no windows in a office building in Chicago. (ok, not that weird) I was creating Perl scripts to format German Legal Documents. (getting stranger), I had not previously programmed in Perl (everyone has to start somewhere I guess), I do not speak or read German. (makes the requirements a little weird)
