They do not have that much cash on hand. Apple already has over $100B in common and exotic debt that has been used to pay for both dividends and this buy back program. So that pile of cash sitting overseas? On its way to being mostly spen

No, it would not. If the detainee is already injured this is a way of cataloging what their problems were on arrival. The photos were not used for propaganda nor do they appear (at least those I looked at) to be an effort to humiliate. All

Disappointed to see a Fermilab publication throwing around weight and mass in the same sentence, such as "neutrinos must weigh less than 2 electronvolts". Further, it may be common in HEP to use natural units and thus eV is OK but

Article tries to pass judgment on Nexus sales based on Marshmallow adoption. With Android estimated at 1.2B handsets in 2015, 1.2% is roughly 14M phones. Even knocking down to 10M for Nexus alone, thats still not a bad number given how li

Trigon was in fact already dead well before she was picked up. Peterson was not a subject of the KGB and had the misfortune of servicing the dead drop of an exposed asset. There is a good recounting of this entire event in Spycraft by Walla

That's a good idea, though I think I'll probably get a lot of grumbling. I know one person who has both an iphone and a samsung (and previously a crackberry) that has had the same issues with both tmo and att. His experience is s

It would have been interesting to know if they are using Fortran 95 or the more recent (and very modern) 2003. People who like to beat on Fortran rarely know that it has evolved quite a bit since '66 and '77
