Of course. You're not going to buy a pint of wine.

There’s a difference between sequencing the genome of DNA, which the article talks about, and retrieving DNA strands intact. The latter is akin to getting the book, the former is akin to reading it. This is likely to account for the discrepancy.

The comment you're replying to makes the point that if you already had a charger, you could use the old charger and the old cable. There is no requirement to use the new cable that it came with. If you agree that people probably already had one from a few years ago, then they already had everything they needed to charge the phone. The 'new cable' did not stop anything from working that previously worked.

For those who are intellectually curious, this site has two recordings of how to say it: https://forvo.com/word/mszczonów/

I use 'Kill Sticky' to get around these popovers. Usually it works. Sometimes scrolling is broken. But it's usually better than clicking 'ok'. https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/

This is to stop your HTTP referrer leaking your search terms: "DuckDuckGo prevents search leakage by default.

This article is based on the Ericsson Mobility Report. The report discusses smartphone subscriptions, not users, reaching 6.1B.

An interesting statistic from the report is that 90% of the world's population over the age of 6 will own mobile phone (note, not smartphone) by 2020.

I agree this is a great cause, but did I miss why there is only 1 day to go until a goal is reached? They don't explain the consequences of only getting USD1.48 million instead of 1.5.

There is someone who said (I'm sorry I can't find the quote) that they don't donate to charities who don't specify an aim for a campaign or how they will know if they've succeeded. I like the spirit of this and feel that more information is better than just "Come on, guys, we need 1.5mil before 12am!".

While both the BBC and Channel Four are public broadcasters with a public service remit, Channel Four receives no money from the licence fee and is solely dependent on advertising and similar income.[1]

It's better to say not that failure is an option, but rather than making a season of programmes as they are being produced and axing the show if it is failing, the UK system allows shows to be produced well ahead of transmission but in small chunks so that if it does do badly it doesn't need to be recomissioned.

Given a retina display aims to copy the sharpness we see in our every day lives from real objects, I would suggest it doesn't intrinsically carry a risk of tiring your eyes, in the same way as we don't get tired seeing all day long even though the edges of everything we look at are generally sharp. Rather in the sense of drawing on a drawing board, or reading books, ones eyes do get tired. Given that OSes are in their infancy when it comes to giving us the tools to properly manage size and resolution, it could be that some tasks are more tiring than they used to be.

This podcast is a great repository of video game tracks. Though finished now, I enjoyed listening to the interviews and the fact that the episodes have a theme helps them be educational (well, interpreting at the very least). https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/legacy-music-hour-video-...

Originally from this website but I can't find a link (at least on the mobile site) http://www.nerdist.com/podcast_channel/the-legacy-music-hour...

I downloaded the VM today and spent a fair while trying to diagnose a CheckIP error. It turns out, after going on the IRC channel that none of the projects on the VM are up to date and hence the VM can't be used to help the project. Hence the error. If I see the website update to mention justin.tv I'll certainly fire it up. But it seems a shame that there is nothing I can do to help with their project as a whole; I couldn't even see any way to donate - I guess I should just donate to archive.org.

Britain, including Scotland, is Metric. The fact that metrication happened in the 60s means people of a certain age describe the weather in both F or C, depending on the situation. The UK is certainly unique in the EU for its exceptions which include the use of miles per hour for speeds, miles for distances and, for example, 'pints' for beer. But much EU legislation on the sale of goods has been enshrined in UK law and means that most items have to be sold in metric units of weight/volume etc.

Not in my experience. The requirement of 6 weeks' rent as a deposit is, however. I wouldn't be surprised if some ask for 8. This is partly what makes it so difficult to get in to the rental market for some people.

You may have been thinking of this sketch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa_hiLXLbTc Where one guy proposes a modern idea but it makes no sense to people of the past. I think this is one of a 2 or 3 such sketches.

It is increasingly trivial to try millions or billions of hashes per second. Using scrypt forces the computer to use more resources (in this case, memory in particular) which means that scaling the guess rate is orders of magnitude slower and cannot be significantly increased by building faster computers (because it's limited by memory not process speed).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt

It comes down to this: Why use something which is designed for speed like hashes to do something that can be broken by highspeed guessing?

Because if it's funded by the Government then it becomes a Government TV station. Using a 'BBC' method where there is a law requiring the license fee to be paid and allows for a third party to collect it and deliver the money direct to the broadcaster. This design can loosen the influence the government has on the channel. Whether you agree with the outcome or not, the idea is that the BBC's of this world are not government spokes-channels.

It's more than 'no big deal' because it does it irrespective of the Safari 'Private Browsing' feature.

They take a hash of every X MB of your data before upload. If the hash already exists, then they don't upload it. You just get added to the access list for that particular chunk along with the others who have uploaded it.

Note that they are likely to use something like 4MB chunks of the file rather than whole files. This prevents things like metadata/name differences creating a different hash for the whole file.

I'm not able to get the audio sync right on my ipad 3rd gen. The audio starts about 15 seconds in.

Or embed it with the government redirect mentioned. "Here's what Obama had to say about Google on yesterday's visit to Vermont!" http://labor.vermont.gov/LinkClick.aspx?link=http://www.goog...

The difference in the signal in one channel will make the encoder throw away different parts of the audio compared to the other channel. This produces data loss in both the 'mono' portion of the signal and the 'stereo' part of the signal. So the 'mono' part of the signal (the vocal) ends up being different between the tracks since data loss is applied across the whole frequency range (or large chunks). Note that Joint Stereo has the same problem because the 'joint stereo-ness' only applies to the top part of the frequency spectrum.

This is a great idea and I see myself coming back to this. It's a shame that a little blog on tumblr or blogspot gets taken out because it's under a big name domain - but this has spam related benefits too.

Great work!

Can you leave WPS off most of the time except for the initial connection of 'device A' to the network? Or will device A need it every time it switches on?

You're quite write that it should give you pause! I have, however, used this flag for 2 years now and it does work very well and have had no problems at all and that's over 2 versions of OS X.

My computer is an iMac and my server is an ubuntu server with a separate 2TB HDD in it for Timemachine.

Edited for spelling

The same is true for Taiwan. The website is really nicely designed.

Interesting, though 'moving groundwater' is a much better description than 'river'. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14693637

Just to let you know, if someone complains they can't see the registration box it could be that they have Ghostery blocking everything as that blocks Facebook Connect. That results in no box being shown below the text.
