Think about it, have YOU ever seen it? We've all seen videos, but no real life robots in the uncanny valley.

Isn't that kinda like saying:

Think about it, have YOU ever seen atomic bombs? We've all seen videos, but no real life atomic bombs. They're not real!

Why not go full infinite monkey and do:

  cat /dev/random > /dev/eth0

Isn't the world a wonderfully messy place?

Since I had no idea:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper

  D. B. Cooper is a media epithet popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, extorted $200,000 in ransom (equivalent to $1,170,000 in 2015), and parachuted to an uncertain fate.
  Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified.
  The case remains the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history.

Wolves also returned (naturally I believe) to Denmark last year: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/denmark/112...

Boats specifically because there's a higher turnaround time to replace failing hardware?

You're arguing that this isn't important simply because there are other important issues out there.

Surely two important issues can co-exist?

Add sunlight and clouds and you could end up with something fairly artistic.

It does do clouds and sunlight: https://youtu.be/Euw6ebwXlMI?t=39s

The whole point is exactly that it "mimics the outside weather".

Where's the one in Roppongi?

Quite the contrast to Google's response:

    We applaud CNNIC on their proactive steps, and welcome them to reapply once suitable technical and procedural controls are in place.

There are several good documentaries out there on the subject. I can't name any of the ones I've seen off the top of my head, but I'm sure googleing will yield plenty.

Quite a lot of young Japanese live at home even through their university years, and it seems the common case of hikikomori is that they just never leave.

Or you could ask: do two more days of the bug being secretly exploited in the wild matter?

I believe GPS in most modern smartphones are now integrated directly in the SoC, and can't really be removed without removing the whole CPU.

No.

The outside world is not Japan. That is more than enough to keep most from wanting to leave.

I'm not seeing anything in there regarding any law. My understanding of the issue is that it's simply the norm. Expectation is houses only last 30 years, so nobody spends more to make them last beyond that.

Tsukiji in Tokyo is best known for its fish, but the vegetable market is quite nice too. But no, other than the tourist unfriendliness it's no secret.

Still quite significant with older reports indicating more than a third of all Chinese iPhones are jailbroken:

If you can trojan one in three iphones that's a hell of a severe security issue.

..except GPS

Incidentally I remember this study a while back stating that red indeed is a colour that can make both men and women more attractive:

Does anybody happen to know if it's just as easy to read the pins at 91.25, 94.75, and 95.75 MHz?

Lately I've been trying to find a way to do exactly that - initially using audio in - but so far without any luck.

Aw darn, I read 'natives' at first. Photos turning out not nearly as exciting as I had expected..

Unfortunately the paper seems well hidden away behind Elsevier's paywall. But I noticed there's another 2008 paper by some of the same authors on the same topic:

http://sws.bu.edu/marchant/Dave_FullText_Papers/Kadish_Icaru...

  XG [version 0 | build 410 | 2014-03-30]  xg.min.head.js:20

  XG: render target support autodetection END  xg.min.head.js:12
  [.WebGLRenderingContext]GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION : glDrawElements: framebuffer incomplete (clear)  deferred_skin.html:1

I'm able to watch them here in Japan though. Guess they're only selectively blocking.

I noticed the same thing and opened an issue:

I can't seem to make your link work, but I managed to track down the original article so allow me to repost:
