The scans focused on a particular area. The technology works by placing 'plates' in desired location and collecting the particles that hit those plates. They could only place plates inside the pyramid where they had access, and collect from particular (sic) paths. They aimed for a best-guess area previously unknown but speculated upon. I assume they will repeat the experiment wherever possible to gather more data in the future.

Sounds like my job, my life. IN the grand scheme of things, nothing much has changed in millennia.

I never beat her. The question you were aiming for is "Do you still hit your wife?"

It demands a yes/no answer and thus always appears to be an admission of guilt. Your question leaves it open to answer any way you like.

i think it's also that the technology has been around long enough that consumers just aren't excited by this 'new thing'. Thinking of apps, when smartphones came out there was for a few years excitement about apps and what they could do, camera apps with filters, games, social media, nerd utilities. Every business and every schoolboy's aunt made an app for their service. I can't even remember the last time I went to the app store.

The excitement died, the brilliance faded and now I just want a headphone socket and a music player that isn't trying to sell me a paid service I don't want.

Depends on which country you are in. Your bank card in some European countries is not allowed to receive or store info about the items you purchased, but the shop obviously will and there is a limit on what they can do with that info and for how long they can store it.

So if I pay for petrol with a card and also buy donuts and coffee the bank and the shop cannot market to me according to what I bought, but if I join a loyalty card scheme then I'm opting in and the shop can, but not the bank.

In Norway btw, where govt. are strict about this sort of thing.

IN the video he claims not to have owned a cat or talked about cats for 20 years. they chose a subject that they are certain they have, as a couple, never exchanged words on.

Explaining away doesn't explain. For an average, normal FB user, this was as scientific as they could get. It would be nice to see someone repeat the experiment with a pro-hacker type on hand and a packet sniffer ++.

There are too many people giving a company like fb, who have form on the implementation of morally and ethically dubious practices, the benefit of the doubt, all the while dismissing any and all claims of users. It looks fishy at best, and I'm not name calling, it isn't allowed on this forum, but there are a disproportionate number of FB defenders popping up wherever this story surfaces.

I read that at the time of publication. It made me both sad and angry; all of those children... because of what amounted to bureaucracy. I can't imagine what being a parent at work and too far away to react in time must have felt like. Harrowing stories.

No problem and glad to be of [di]service. I was familiar with the URL you posted, and probably should not have commented as a reply to you, but there you have it. :)

If you have an existing COBOL app you can convert it to a web app and develop using a simpler syntax with more features through SystemZ from Zortec Intl. I've worked with them personally and they were super-duper.

COBOL isn't so bad when you use a modern variant that purposefully deals with many of the complaints surrounding it.

I have a newer iPhone through work, so my 4 is only used for calls, sms and music. I'm keeping it until it dies and then moving away from Apple. What I really want is a true GNU/Linux phone.

Just tried this on my iPhone 4 (yes 4!, iOS 7.?) and I get 4 when adding 1+2+3 quickly, and sometimes 10 or 11(!?).

Looks like this is a feature, not a bug, or else it would have been fixed sometime in the last 8 years! /s

Actually sounds good. I'm tired of Apple devices going in a direction that doesn't fit with what I want, and have never been impressed with Android.

I followed the link, but don't quite understand the product. Does Ubuntu Touch OnePlusOne replace the OS on the device? So I buy one of the supported phones listed, and then erase and replace Android with this in it's place? Or it installs on top of?

For any Mac users wanting to try out text to speech and who didn't already know, it's built into OSX. Have a look in your Preferences panel.

It can be very useful if you want to 'read' something while looking at something else, like a game.

Here in Norway I have never once seen a non-Scandinavian layout keyboard. Not once. As I'm from the UK I have considered getting a UK or US keyboard for coding at home, but at work it isn't an option, mostly because we all have standard equipment and because ø,æ & å.
