After a quick google, I believe you are correct. The term doesn't seem to be very well known outside of space circles, though. Maybe that's why the BBC opted for the familiar.

In Canada, one of the major wireless providers offers Spotify premium accounts bundled in with mid and high tier data lines (i.e. 2 years of Spotify premium "for free"). So I wonder what other providers around the world do this, a

I would guess it depends if the position you're filling is made redundant by the merger.

I'm curious about this. How do you plan to corrupt your _existing_ data? (i.e. stuff you've done/uploaded in the past)

Guys, don't bother clicking the link. There is not even an inkling of a technical information of how Facebook is going to achieve this.

Apparently, that exists. From the article: > Hulu will still have advertising. The two current paid tiers — $7.99 a month with some ads and completely ad-free at $11.99 a month — are going to remain.

Happy with this outcome as Nougat was my top choice. I love Nutella, but I prefer keeping brands out of version names.

Awesome story. I hope he played it on the hardest difficulty too :P Er.. but you do mean using a touchpad right? Unless a scartchpad is something different?

Edge allows extensions now or are you using an OS-level adblock?

I fail to see how you can compare the two rules of thumb. For starters, the rule of 72 is simply talking about doubling (not about aggregate consumption)and the rule of 72 isn't fixed to a single interest rate (7%).

Good point. Especially for strong drinks. Although the argument _may_ fall apart when you start talking about the taste or wines, ciders, or beers. I mean, I think they're delicious and I like the way they make me feel.

So what exactly happened to the username/password analogy I've read here. That is, a fingerprint is an effective username, not an effective password.

The knowledge you claim to be sharing is a little flimsy isn't it? You took an eye test, great results, and the doctor chalked it up as lack of drugs and alcohol. That is an unbelievably broad statement. So broad, I'd argue it&#x2

Apologies if this comes off as harsh, but I don't understand how this comments adds value to anyone but yourself. And to me, it seems like you're feeling rather inadequate about the possibility of missing out on experiences many t

I enjoy using NoScript but I found I could not recommend it to non-techie friends, as it requires a lot of manual input to not break webpages. Is Privacy Badger more user friendly?

What's wrong with the today version? The image you posted isn't self explanatory to me. In my experience imgur is still really damn fast. It's evolved/grown to serve a community of user who love it. What's wrong wi
