Well ok, but British English is composed at least of Scottish English, Yuppie English, Townie English, Farmers English, Northern English, Black Country English, The Queens English and also I'm not sure about Newcastle-upon-Tyne if that

Your premise is wrong. It sounds as if it should be right, but the framing is awry The players are not really aware of the health risks, furthermore they are young and foolish and impressionable and are following the path of glamour which

In this situation, another person has to put themselves forward as a candidate. The failure of the society is when nobody else does.

I bought a huawei 4g mobile wifi device off ebay for about 25 quid earlier this year, and have a 3 sim card (the huawei device is branded 3 anyway, but they don't lock them) with 20Gb/mo data for 15/mo but you can get cheaper

How would that work? I can of course go to their office and prove my identity but since nobody did that when opening the account, they can't necessarily prove that it is my account..

I have suggested many times that the things computers are good at include looking up inconsistent rules in a database, so this doesn't seem as if it should be an either-or issue for the car, it should know all the rules and be able to

and I'm pretty sure that one of the touted benefits of self driving cars is that they are able to constantly monitor a whole lot more than a human driver would.

The article mentions machine learning. So, it triggers, they search you, they find a thing that is not a weapon, they update their database and comp you something for disturbing you. Of course, they could as tgb suggests just ban anything t

This is the case IIRC with Android - even though I want to build it for a 32-bit ARM architecture, I can't build it on anything but 64-bit. I guess the vast majority of Android systems cannot even compile Android! https:/&#x2F

Time and again though, people manage to paint things like this as foreign bureaucrats interfering in our sovereignty. So many people I know, it seems that if you tell them not to step in front of a bus they will shout "DON'T TELL

hard disks have brushless motors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor they are usually more expensive but have been around for a long time. AFAIK there is no substitute for graphite in a brush

This theory only works if you consider that there is only a single distribution of Linux, which there is not. If Canonical start this stuff with Ubuntu then somebody else can (and will) set up an alternative. The problem with Windows is tha

As its already passed through the system (I think?) that would be spinning down.. though realistically for my scenario, it would fully exit the system before it did that.

Coriolis effects would be more pronounced with a smaller radius? Also, the rotational speed would need to be a lot higher to get the same gravitational effect, so the effects might end up many times greater. Its difficult to suggest what co

why that last - do they have only a single battery for all four motors? I would have thought in a vehicle this size, that splitting the battery bank into controllable sections would make ultimate sense. If a part of the power pack fails, j

I walk past a military compound on my way to work. They definitely have cameras but it is a large area and I also see guards walking a circuit (they have to tag positions around the perimeter). Pretty sure if one of these was doing circuits

“And then you’d guide them through the appropriate final diagnosis, which would be through a blood pressure cuff and then treatment.” so the intention is that this would generate a warning to go to your doctor?

I understand that pasta cooked in seawater is passable as most of the water (and salt) is discarded. Normally rice absorbs all the water, I don't know if you were clever and boiled it in lots then drained it if that would work. Would

I concur, this boat was heeled over for a while. Sailing along upwind on one tack could do that. I don't know the pacific, the course they took if that would be feasible. (normally people sail downwind if possible, its a lot nicer)

They have them because they published the Panama Papers before. They had them because they recognised the name of a secretive law firm and took the John Doe seriously, which other organisations had not.

I'm not sure what it means to be 'swept' into a river.. they would need to purposefully swim upstream. They might do that or they might not. Salmon live out in the sea and when they are ready (I think) follow the scents of th
