Its embedded into GSM modules; Phones need it to do anything, to check firmware versions, to send and retreive SMS messages, to make calls etc. I used it to control the 3G dongle I had (basically, a GSM module in a stick). Most times the de

From the companies perspective they have lots of data to analyze. I am not a statistician but I suspect that people who game the system in any way that we can think of will show up at the top of the dataset. The two most important metric

At first I think 'Oh another cunning way to analyse bugs' then I consider, that there does seem to be a lot of ways to do this and I wonder if it has always been the case or if people have finally become interested after reading a

It rather seems to me that Bird would know where the scooter was being charged, and where it was accumulating value in a fixed location. They can correlate this information Bird really need to structure it better, and make it clear that suc

You might be able to discriminate against potential employees based on their obvious stupidity, but you might be on less certain ground when they claim it is a religious viewpoint?

I'm guessing not. More like an electric fence: volts are high but current is low.

The premise of that series is that except for the original species, there had always been intervention to uplift not just observation. Humans had been a bit of a surprise because they had no apparent uplifters. IIRC the general viewpoint wa

I think yakz meant, that its easy to say "he reached for his waistband" whether he did or not, because you know, somebody shot him and lets just say there was a reason other than the officer was terrified and/or coked up so w

Aldi chocolate is pretty ok though they use hazelnuts where Cadbury Fruit and Nut had almonds. That might be a further nail in the coffin though as I've heard in the past almonds themselves are not great (need heat and lots of water?)

Thats interesting do you have a reference for that? There is a lot said about Jeremy Corbyn and I've noticed that a lot of the mainstream media (even left-wing like the Guardian) are very against him and have been vocal about everythin

llamas produce very small antibodies that can attack the parts of the virus that are further inside, and these parts do not mutate as often as the outer parts, which our antibodies generally attack. The outer parts mutate pretty quickly, me

The 50% increase is not required immediately. Only new cars would be required to be electric. Modern car longevity is about 10-20 years (Wikipedia suggests 200,000 miles in the USA) so full capacity might not be needed for 20-30 years.

I'd say though, that if the mosquitoes die off in approximately 10 generations then the parasites are likely to die with them rather than suddenly adapt where they never did before

I wonder if a big (Fortune 500) company could get HID devices which were customised so that only company owned devices could be plugged in.. it shouldn't be that hard to design such a device that would show up as a custom device then

I noticed that with my mobile wifi (Huawei) which I generally leave plugged in, when my friend plugged in her Windows 10 tablet to the same power outlet (2 sockets), it suddenly noticed it as a new USB device. I don't ever plug anythin

In the UK some years ago as I understand it (while Gordon Brown was chancellor), the tax requirements for alcohol producers were relaxed, so that breweries producing less than a certain amount (measured in litres per year) were subject to l

What is it about the car, that it doesn't actually have living accomodation or that it is not a house and has no address? For example, does living in an RV mean you are homeless?

Its immoral when its targeted secretly in this way. If lies are posted publicly on a billboard (or a bus) then everybody can see it, somebody can point out that it is a lie, and the posters can be held responsible for their misinformation

Yes. The problem with CO poisoning (or, Nitrogen) is that it is painless, and people actively resist that. Some people want it to be about retribution rather than justice.
