It would be interesting to know to what extent Qualcomm was doing this.

Again, telecommunications is a strange beast. To make the one chip to do all of what is called 4g, you need something like a dozen related patents. Ditto for basically every telecommunications product out there. That's why the auctio

Reading the app description, more consistent data about fields + better budgeting towards fields would likely do it. As an example, corn and soybeans are commonly rotated to help reduce the usage of nitrogen-based fertilizers in fields (soy

Not to defend Qualcomm, but patent bundling is very common in telecommunications tech for a very simple reason: what good is 1 licensed patent when you need 5 patents to actually build a product? And more specifically, 4g phones usually hav

You are right, that's why the permissions are scary as hell.

More people claim religious exemptions than are a part of religions that actually forbid vaccination, and Christian Science doesn't have a problem with vaccinations when they are required legally. If your religion doesn't have a

With the language being used to describe what's going on, combined with the numbers that Alabama is estimating, it smells a lot like malware-infected PCs combined with the desktop edition of Turbotax (which offers free e-file if you bu

There are people who claim religious exemptions, but aside from fringe sects of Christianity (some Amish, and a handful of <20k member denominations), no major religion or religious denomination practiced in the US forbids vaccinations

A good lawyer could argue that non-vaccinated people are not taking sufficient precautions in preventing themselves from being an accidental bioweapon, and are through voluntary and explicit negligence committing a treasonous act.

I'm very happy that it worked well for you. Those with different data access patterns may not be as fortunate.

They did some of the uploading, yes. But I don't recall if that was part of the reason why Viacom lost.

Go read the article (or the first 2 paragraphs even), then come back and read the comment. The point of the article was that Schwab's login security is so broken, even when you do all of the right things yourself, Schwab's impleme

(warning: I am not a biologist) The problem is that generating ATP requires sun or sugar in plants (depending on the specific metabolic process involved), and that the total amount of sugar produced during the day as part of photosynthesis

Nominally, governments act at the behest of the good of the people, powerful or not. Regulation is part of its purpose. If they are not operating for the good of the people, then who are they operating for? This is a clear case where a gove

Netflix seems to be recruiting for the search side of things (so says the Netflix recruiter in my inbox), so at least they know that they need to fix that part. :/

Virtualization, databases, caching, ... Everything you'd use a big machine for, only turned up to 11. If you talk to the right people, peakhosting.com will rent you a machine that can have up to 6TB RAM.

There are other articles on the E-Cat scattered around the net in the last few days/weeks. Long story short: a lot of experts (physicists and chemists) say it's probably bullshit, likely fraud. Indeed, it would be amazing if it we
